That was really awesome, thanks for sharing.

[iceman]

That was cool.

[grinch]

grinning from ear to ear right now. had most of their decks. Cab was my fave, soo smooth

[wyeaster]

pretty cool.

[Tippster]

Kick ass. I never got into skating but that made me grin from ear to ear.

As a kid I was captivated by that ramp, I'd just stare at posters and pictures of it. As Hawk mentioned, I still can't believe the most iconic ramp in skateboarding only existed for 3 days and hadn't been recreated since. This was a perfect finish to the legacy of the Chin ramp.

[tele.savalas]

I played a VHS copy of that film until the tape broke. #ihaveseenhim

[mcski]

I can't believe those guys can still throw down on the ramp like that at 50ish years old. Fucking rad inspiring !

I wonder how much ibuprofen got eaten the next day.

Am I weird, or simply pragmatic? I automatically thought this thread referred to the physiognomic oddity that hominids are the only animals with chins, and thus a search for other animals with chins has ensued!!

As per:

EDIT: And not even all hominids...turns out that only homo sapiens have a pronounced chin, and no one really knows why. I'm presuming it is a linguistic adaptation for more complex spoken language.

But as to the video.....OUCH!!!!

way kewl

Are you dense, or simply dim?

[hawkgt]

search for dim chin

[Alaskan Rover]

Are you dense, or simply dim?

Ahh...you simply have no true concept of dry, sardonic humor and yet you seem to qualify yourself as the purveyor of such.

[frorider]

Yes, no one does dry humor like AR.

[warthog]

Like the Sahara.

This is a dangerous video. Back when it was first made, I thought,"yeah I could do that someday."
Now I find myself saying the same thing.

too true. Just like this Rodney Mullen video from this year. Rodney's 53.

[Alaskan Rover]

When you're basically the undisputed KING of street skate, your words have a certain gravitas. Rodney brought poetic movement to skating like no one else.

EDIT: Scratch that! He hasn't "brought" poetic movement to street skate.... he BRINGS poetic movement to it. Past tense doesn't seem to apply to the guy.

I owned every one of their boards and had the pleasure of having the brigade stop by my buddies 1/2 pipe when I was but a wee grom, pre animal chin. They are one of the reasons I still skate over 30 years later. To all the old guys that want to get after it but are afraid... pad up, learn to knee slide and stay off handrails....

[grinch]

Ya one or two of them still being limber enough to shred that hard is amazing but all of them is unreal. Mullen is an alien. I get a full work out just stretching enough to get my shoelaces

Loved that movie when I was a kid. The loose narrative thread sealed the deal for me. made it more interesting somehow. Subsequent Bones Brigade films disappointed me in that they reverted to skate porn format. I like how in the 30 year vid they talk about the greater metaphoric significance of the search for animal chin. it is indeed all about having fun.

Being a skate kid of that era who no longer rides anything but a long board (occasionally) , i must say that I have always maintained the utmost respect for skating. Skaters are just f*cking cool and the tricks they pull off nowadays simply defy logic. Luan Oliveira, Nijah Houston and company.... that sh@t is soooooooo hard.
