Quoting Brandon Smith:

8th Wonder was my first section in a real video. I still remember what it was like staying at Justin’s house on the weekends and cruising all around the bay area to simply skate and get tricks on tape.

No sponsors, no obligations and no agenda other than having fun. Being 15 years old, all I wanted to do was skate and all Justin wanted to do was film me (and others) skating.

Back in those days it was all about the group session and that’s how a lot of the stuff was filmed. You could always count on some of your friends skating the spots with you, and getting you juiced to land tricks.

I was always pushing myself the most when skating with the older, and better dudes like Erick Garcia, Rob G, Vinny Minton, Jared Magers, Pat Lennen and more.

Each time I watch this video, all I can think about is those non stop care free sessions with friends.

It’s a nice reminder of the main reason I fell in love with blading and still do it after all these years.

An oldschool skate video by T-Bone Films, guest editor: Bryan Bell.

Bryan Bell’s late ’90s video “My Daily Routine” is a certified classic. It’s the perfect place to kick off a column about blade treasures from the past.

“My Daily Routine” looks exactly like what it is, a bunch of friends going out and fucking around with a video camera. It makes skating look like a lot of fun and doesn’t take itself too seriously. It is full of shots filmed with poorly-sized fisheye lenses, lines on small ledges and benches, 360s off of curbs, graffiti, break dancing, booty shakin, boozing, fights, enough mushroom blading to make those guys from Vancouver proud, homemade bombs, and plenty of other shit to make your mom upset that she bought it for you.

All of that B-roll helped keep the video interesting and added to the flow of it. It was always a favorite of my friends that didn’t blade… [...] Full Article on One.
