Powell Peralta
Future Primitive
1985



This is the second of the legendary Bones Brigade Videos. If you skated in the 80s, you probably don’t need to hear anything more about this. For those of you who aren’t familiar with Future Primitive or the Bones Brigade Videos, let me catch you up. Back in the 80s, skateboarding was making a comeback, and two guys named Powell and Peralta got together to make a series of skate videos that helped launch skateboarding even higher in the public eye. They assembled a team of incredible skaters – a team whose members were destined to make huge impacts in the sport. The team was called the Bones Brigade, and included Tony Hawk, Rodeny Mullen, Lance Mountain, Steve Caballero, Adrian Demain, Richie Dunlap, Tommy Guerrero, Kevin Harris, Chris Iverson, Mike McGill, Eric Sanderson, Steve Steadham, Ray Underhill, and Per Welinder. The soundtrack is hot, featuring The Faction, The Nudes, The Halibuts, The Rad Boys and Johnny Rad, and more. In fact, Powell even offers the Bones Brigade soundtrack on CD. The Future Primitive DVD is a lot more hodge-podge than the first Bones Brigade video. It shows how the team lives, plays, skates, eats… It’s a fun video, showing the guys having a blast shredding ramps and pools, in competitions and parking lots, bombing downhill – anything. The skating is definitely classic 80s – super stylish and low to the ground.
