Powell Peralta
The Bones Brigade Video Show
1985



The Bones Brigade Video Show was the first real skateboarding video made - and now it's available on DVD. in the early 80's, skateboarding was comming out of a dark age. Powell and Peralta teamed up to form the Bones Brigade team with members like Tony Hawk and Rodney Mullen. The Bones Brigade Video Show is full of old school skating, and tells the tale of skateboarding's earlier years.This movie features everyone – twenty years ago! Most of the video follows Lance Mountain through a day of skating around different skate spots in LA. Lots of old school street skating, low to the ground full of bonelesses, no-complies and slides. Lance hits all kinds of places, like Venice beach, where he watches Per Welinder do some awesome freestyle. The video is clever – Lance stops and looks at a magazine article about Rodney Mullen, and the video fades to Mullen doing his awesome freestyle. Later, Mountain goes into a skate shop and sees a Tony Hawk deck, and the image fades to Tony in the big pool at the Del Mar Skate Ranch, shredding the place much to the delight and amazement of the audience (who seem to be mostly elderly people).
