people wore windbreaker pants.
we'd get drunk and drive all night to philly to skate LOVE PARK.
not a ton of skate stoppers everywhere. skating was still vilified but there was interspersed 'do a 900' b/w 'skate or die dude' and 'skater fags'.
our pants weren't as big as they used to be but hadn't gotten dick tight yet [except ed templetits].
pj was percolating w/ ryan gallant but not out in the world's eye yet.
marc johnson no longer wore white shirts and dickey's, he'd become a billboard [for the A team].
gershon continued to sweat through pants, regs and switch.
-
I was only 10 years old, just getting introduced to skating. I have nothing to contribute.
-
There was no irony in pop shove tailgrab

Jason Jessee was irrelevant

Pat Chanita

del was in between mr dobalina and deltron zero in the yr 3000.
souls of mischief called up bridget, her man's a midget.
popps and wenning had everyone doing straight on bs nosegrinds.
kids from holden [yuppie suburb] all became greco clones overnight.
penny was mia but the muska went from an underground cult phenomenom to bloated rockstar. he still grinded double kinks.
danny montoya quietly killed it.
rob G punched out one of bam margerine's entourage.
paulo diaz and guy mariano were mia [high on crack st].
lennie kirk tried to rob the weedman at pier 7 but ended up robbing liquor store/taxi instead.
he was like jules from pulp fiction.

the y2k computer bug shut down the whole industry. shit was crazy.

my mom made me wear a helmet but i kept it unbuckled cuz i didn’t give a fuck

Go lurk youtube..Kirk Dianda did some videos that will help. WATCH any of the ON videos to see what's relevant at that time. I know they say 2001 but most videos were filmed a year or two before the release date.
On video '01

Fulfill The Dream by Shorty's heavily influenced baggy blue jeans with tight black shirts and fitted hats.
Public skateparks were full of booze and weed, not heroin and meth
CKY was kind of cool
My friend Andy thought dressing like Jim Greco would make him better at skating but it was a dirty lie.
The kid from you local park who ripped at skating also ripped at biking, scootering and soccer but was publicly shamed for riding anything with two wheels.
Most importantly.... Skate Street in Ventura was still alive. Can't remember if it was the revamp or the original.
I was 12 so that's my recollection.
-
Back in 2000, if you got called a poser it would ruin your fucking day.
-
My memory is fucked so entirely possible my timeline is off but I’m getting visions of
Axions or Circas with weed pockets, Shortys and Muska, using deodorant to wax picnic tables, flameboy and wet willy, Tony Hawk with a bull-fighting cape on, Reynolds drinking with orangutans, classic Transworld videos, ordering from CCS magazine, mailing dollars in envelopes for stickers, CKY Baker and Piss Drunx corrupting my young mind, getting 411VM VHS in the mail
A big difference between then and now is that we weren’t all so connected, so what we my and my lil homies were watching, how we were dressing and what pros we were obsessed with may be totally different than what was going on with other skaters. The internet didn’t matter nearly as much to skating. We read transworld and bought videos from the skate shop but other than that we were our own little bubble.
-
Shitty prefab concrete skateparks began popping up all over New England. Some have been improved by fundraisers, others bondo'd yearly by the locals, while the rest have gone to complete shit from neglect or bad tracts of asphalt that doomed them from the start.
World industry was still hip in the twelve and under crowd.
Element was pre-Bam and had yet to blow up.
CCS still sent out these little fifty page brochures for free, was hella rad.
Blank decks and shop boards had not begun to eat away at the industry's profits.
Kerry getz was getting PAID.
You couldn't swing your dick without hitting a Tony hawk ad for this or that.
8.5 boards were as rare as 7.5's are today.
Mike Carroll was in his prime. Koston could do no wrong. Biebel was about to explode.
-
I had a pair of the muskas with the tongue weed pocket but I was so innocent that I thought they were just where you could put your house key so you wouldn’t land and bruise your hip if they were in your pocket.
I only found out about the weed connection a few years ago. :D
-
menikmati was released. you should write your entire paper on that.

I was happy to have a weed stash pocket even though I was 12 hence my memory being trash
-
Boards were tiny, shoes were huge, there were no skateparks
-
also - Menikmati
-
Alien Workshop - Photosynthesis came out and if you were a teenager on the east coast you were in utter awe of Brain Wenning and Anthony Pappalardo.
Athletic footwear was not a part of skateboard culture.
Skateboarding was (still is to an extent) heavily regionalized. Like a poster above said, the internet was in relative infancy and average skaters were not really connected with one another like they are now.
Rail chomping was in its prime. Most of the biggest pros were doing some gnarly shit down some huge stairs.
Tom Penny started to poke his head around after a hiatus.
Print magazines were extremely important and one of the only ways one could know what was going on in the industry.
Edit: John Cardiel was still able to skate at peak ability. This is genuinely important, he is a once in a generation type skater.
-
Menikmati, photosynthesis, Modus operandi, baker 2g , static, tiltmode, LA county.
-
Secret spots/secret footage
-
there were no cellphones.
the cellphones that existed weren't computers, just phones. but nobody had them.
there was no youtube.
chicago had a higher murder rate but nobody called it Chiraq.
-
If you were a full grown man you'd wear the same pants as a 15 year old girl. Baker, Toy Machine, Zero, and Girl/Choc were the hot shit.
-

VERY accurate.
-
Holdin on to what I am, pretendin I'm a superman
-
Could not find a good pair of shoes for the life of me except Koston 1s
Darkstar wheels. Very thin wheels with plastic cores.
Tensor trucks were hot
Eminem was hot
Modus, photo, 411, cky2k, on video launched.
People started to take interest in skating because of THPS
-
you could tape over your trick if you rewinded.
you could degrade the footage by taping over bails.
you could watch the trick on a little window of the camera but otherwise, wait til the video comes out.
word of mouth. spots had colloquial names like 'gagne ledge' and apocraphyl tales of gnar gone down. 'jay's gap' in olympia washington, according to folklore had been nollie bigspin flipped by 'jay'.
steve olson had 360 flipped of the maze gap at the capitol and so on.
no video library to confirm or deny.
elissa steamer and jaime reyes were the only girl street rippers.
-
lots of groundbreaking videos came out those days, some of which i only got around watching years later after shit went youtube and stuff.
like misled youth released 99 and was pretty big in 2000 still, because there wasn't so many videos. workshops photosynthesis, tws modus operandi and i.e., baker2g come to mind. also the first static came out in 2000, but i didn't watch that until late 00s i think.
everyone was sad tim brauch passed the year before.
-
Menikmati, photosynthesis, Modus operandi, baker 2g , static, tiltmode

Awful backpack rap in Skate videos.
Aesthetics was coming up.
Alphanumeric gear was all the rage.
Big puffy DC’s and running from under covers and bike cops at Love.
Axion released Guy’s second shoe the Aries.
A-Team was cool for some reason.
World officially fell off.
Deca took World’s place.
No one wore Vans.
Osiris was cool for some reason.
I graduated high school and the jocks always asked me why I skated.
No one wore Thrasher shirts (not even skaters).
Strength Magazine
7.4 Alien Workshop decks.
Deluxe was in an awkward phase.
Skaters were upset about DC’s being sold in PAC Sun and Fred Durst wearing them.
Modus Operandi came out.
Lakai was coming up.
Adidas had Gonz, Jahmal, Paulo, Matt Beach, and Quim.
Nike stopped making those hideous Skate shoes that they sold in Eastbay.
-
Tony hawk ushered skateboarding into the mainstream by landing the 900 on national tv and then appearing on the cover of THPS video also doing the 900. in every suburb in America skaters had "do a 900" shouted at them by jocks hanging out the window of their dads muscle car.
The Geoff Rowley Vans shoe came out and sparked the vulcanized shoe craze, and the throw back shoe craze which ultimately showed Vans the way to recover from bad shoe obscurity. The "Off The Wall" tag reappeared on the back of their shoes. In an attempt to be old school everybody, mostly non skaters, wanted the shoe with the wavy stripe ironically called "old skool"
The Tilt Mode Army made skateboarding fun again, which at the same time revealed how not fun the A-Team was. Enjoi Skateboards came a few years later as a dwindle brand and sold red jeans with a panda head embroidered on the back pocket.
There was no public skate parks so Vans installed skateparks at Malls and charged $14 to skate for 2 hours.
-
in 2000, every skate mag you flipped through would have at least one, and sometimes multiple, backpack ads. and ccs could have just called itself backpack warehouse. not sure why this stopped being a thing. clive was sick!

Eric Koston was a god and frequently changing what we thought was possible on ledges, rails, and gaps.
Everyone wanted to be on one of Alien, Girl/Chocolate, Flip or Zero.
VHS is colored tapes were popular.
People were leaving Toy Machine like it was a sinking boat.
-
-Mumford was killing the rail game, Ryan Johnson too.
-They had skatepark lists in magazines, that was how much there were in the US where it took a couple pages to list em.
-Everything was extreme.
-Noticed more than just skaters were wearing skate shoes, girls an jocks would rock em too.
-Hubbas weren't put on the endangered list yet.
-Unless your name was Ray Barbee or that man am Mike R(not gonna attempt to spell his name) guy who was sponsored by Foundation nobody filmed a no comply.
-Can't remember any slappy'n of the curb tricks in videos.
-Ellington was the only person taking the back big spin to new levels... Templeton and Rowley were the only people I can remember doing impossibles at the time too.
-Hot ams were Colt Cannon, Machnau, Janoski, Rob Mckinnley, TX, Trainwreck, TimTim, Biebel, Joel Meinholz, Shimizu, Baptista, Wenning, D Gar, Apples, Daxter Lussier, Eric Bork, and Jake Nunn according to TWS at the time.
-Only tricks done down Hollywood 16 stairs were Ollies, a frontside, and a kickflip.
-A-Team was around but by the end of the year it kinda morphed into Enjoi.
-Skateboard sites were in their infancy.
This was also around the time I started to notice more people skating in my area(probably due to THPS). It would just be me and 5 guys for a few years but that last year of high school was when there was an influx of younger skaters all of a sudden... That's all I got now.
-
everyone wore studded belts.
-
Transworld was like 400 pages each month.
-
^^^1/3 of that was ads for nokia phones, Wrangler Jeans, and the US army
-
In the year 2000, Circa and DC were killing it.
Gino, Tom Penny, and Guy were seldom seen. Jason Lee was gone, Hosoi was in jail. They were touted as style gods and their elusiveness only contributed more to their legend and appeal.
Thrasher wasn't that polished layout-wise, and there were ridiculously bad ads being run in the back pages. Bad ads in every mag really. The army ads that Kolostrum mentioned were brutal.
Either Muska or Jamie Thomas was your favourite skater. And Shorty's was pretty much the top-selling brand.
Pros and ams who ripped but didn't have a shoe sponsor basically wore Koston 1's all the time.

Gino hadn't really gone full ghost. He was coming off an amazing but short part in Chocolate tour. Penny was nowhere to be seen leading to him having old footage re-used in Menikmati.
-
Most of the boards on the wall at my local shop were Blind and World Industries.
The only skatepark near me was like 10% skateboarders, 10% rollerbladers, and 80% stoner kids.
Scooters were essentially non-existent.
Gravity Games.
Thrasher Comix was my favorite section of the mag.
-
Element featherlite decks (7.75 is considered wide)
Mesh singlets over t-shirts
Rowley was just about to bless us with his first shoe
Meanwhile I was rocking Mike V's Etnies space boot
Clothes were just on the cusp of going tight
-
there was only one steve olson. ill let you determine which one.
-
the black rob whoa section in Kalis' photo part was and always will be the best use of rap in a skate video.
-
there was only one steve olson. ill let you determine which one.
he fulfilled the dream
-
Over the pond here in Europe, Cliche was quite fresh to the game and had just released their first video "Europa"
Blueprint also just released their amazing video "Waiting for the World" which really put them on the map as a team.
I think Don Nguyen ollied El Toro for the first time, although that could have been 2001?
The Blind Reaper was everywhere in skate shops as was Flame Boy and Wet Willy (RIP World Industries message boards)
Skate backpacks were actually amazing, especially the Clive ones as mentioned above. Wish they were still around.
Clothes were definitely still baggy over here and everyone had those belts that are now coming back in to rotation.
Pretty sure Savier started up in 2000 as well!
-
there was only one steve olson. ill let you determine which one.
There was defenitely two of them in 2000. I don't think a year has went by without Steve Olson og getting some ink in the 'trash' section of the now comepletely lame Thrasher.
-
I would practice kickflips in my v1 adio bam's on my parents carpet all day... Also filmed a lot of unfortunate slappy noseslides on curbs...
-
Street skating was still actually done in the steets, not in a skatepark format/area. The Berrics didn’t exist. Skateboarding was not cool to do, there was also little money in being pro. Nike, Cons, Adidas had nothing to do with us. Stevie Williams
-
jack ass wasn't quite a thing yet but the purple and pink heartogram everything would soon be on their way
-
puffy shoes
Alien Workshop and Habitat
Emerica was/is the sickest brand
Lakai and fs flips down 7-stairs
Menikmati and TIS (2003) heavy influences on everybody
driveway flatbars, parking lot seshs
7.75 decks
Tensor trucks
Lucky bearings
riser pads
-

All three, plus Reebok had teams and shoes out at that point.
Nike had Choppy Omega and Bam prior to 2000.
Converse had Jerry Fowler, Kenny, Felix, Chany, and
Supa
Adidas had Gonz, Quim, Paulo, Jahmal Williams, and Matt Beach
Reebok had Boks with Neal Hendrix
-
got milk?

got milk?
That about sums this thread up... Oh I also had a pretty sick Habitat backpack... Yeah, that should do it.
-
Big Brother Magazine, Slap Magazine and Skateboarder Magazine still existed.
The most important contests were the World Cup of Skateboarding in Münster Germany, Slam City Jam and Tampa am and pro. Those contests were actually featured in skateboard magazines.
Barcelona became the world's most popular city for street skating.
-
For various reasons, Mike V was beating the crap out of everybody. Except Kip Brennan.
-
Stevie Williams could switch tre higher than most pros could ollie.
Speaking of Stevie, he and Koston came out with shoes that looked like basketball shoes, but skated surprisingly well.
Big Brother was my gateway to the world outside of the 'burbs.
-
-Can't remember any slappy'n of the curb tricks in videos.
I want you to recall Jason Adams, even though Label Kills came out in 2001 he was slappy'n up a storm
-
I was wearing a pillowcase-cape rolling backwards down my driveway.
-
the y2k computer bug shut down the whole industry. for Rodrigo TX it was was crazy like.
-
Koston 2000 = Ishod Now
-
I was very intrigued with the pissdrunx but was very intimidated by the kids in high school who tried to emulate them. Kinda the first time I realized skating was way cooler than surfing.
-
Indoor skateparks with masonite ramps.
-
all pros were actually adults except Sheckler.
BS crook on Hollywood 16 was a fucking ender ender.

People writing school papers on skateboarding in 1982
-
Probably my favorite time in skating. Tampa ams/pros were way more gnarlier and intimate. Before Nike came in to sponsor it. Everything seemed more core and raw back then. The best time of my life.
-
Lots of orange and white plastic barriers of a bump or down something.
-
GIRL and Flip were an unstoppable force and REAL and Antihero was the worst shit out.
-

elissa steamer and jaime reyes were the only girl street rippers.
I was there the day Steve Olson was attempting to 360 flip the maze gap, 1990/91. He tried several times and came close but never landed it. At least not on that day and that’s the only time I ever saw him try it.
Curious what “Jays gap” is?
-
GIRL and Flip were an unstoppable force and REAL and Antihero was the worst shit out.
dude wtf, that's not even true. i agree real wasn't as relevant, but come on. real team was always great and if anything anti hero is now water'd down a lot since then.

My memory is fucked so entirely possible my timeline is off but I’m getting visions of
Axions or Circas with weed pockets, Shortys and Muska, using deodorant to wax picnic tables, flameboy and wet willy, Tony Hawk with a bull-fighting cape on, Reynolds drinking with orangutans, classic Transworld videos, ordering from CCS magazine, mailing dollars in envelopes for stickers, CKY Baker and Piss Drunx corrupting my young mind, getting 411VM VHS in the mail

Dude, you nailed it..spot on
-
Loose jeans, shirts and hoodies.
Large, puffy shoes.
Skateboarding was on an upward trajectory to mass appeal.
Not much in the way of skatestoppers, or local by-laws banning skating.
Wooden outdoor skateparks were common enough.
Photosythesis, WFTW, Modus Operandi and Menikmati were all heavy hitter skate videos. Almost 20 years later, they're still banging, relevant and have aged well.
-
hill bombing on my ass cause i was 10
-
Nike and Adidas existed but were not cool whatsoever
People collected the free CCS catalogs
Es was THE team.
Energy drinks didn't exist yet, Sprite was the drink of choice:

-
Rowley was SOTY. Meanwhile over at Transworld's reader poll, Muska won Best Street Skater and Smolik won "Best Style". It was a wild time.
-
Baker , CCS brochures sent to the house for free, CKY videos and doing stupid shit of the sort, fat comfy Globes, flameboy and wet willy. Reminiscing this was my favorite time to be skateboarding.
Me and my homie would go to his house after school and play Duke Nukem and then his mom would take us to the skatepark at night

wiggers

Ccs mailorder catalogues told you what was out
Getting a Transworld Pro Spotlight (with pull out poster) was a big deal
-
VHS were made and sold well. A top tier skate company vid would sell around 50,000 copies worldwide, with god knows how many home dupes being made off from each one.
-
pre 2000 folks were really worried that it would be complete bedlam because of 2000 related computer programming issues would fry certain motherboards and Skynet would become sentient. 2000 was weird and felt like a dystopian nightmare because the president lost the popular vote but won the electoral vote. but 2001 was heavier and overly patriotic. kickflips were all uphill- both ways- in the snow. I don't know. I was going to just post the Conan year 2000 Lovitz video too.
-
skateboarders around then were atrocious. Douchebags who all loved sublime and 311, hemp necklaces and oakleys etc ughhhhh
-
This thread is 6 months old, I think OP has already finished his summer school essay
-
Yeah post your write up once you’re done!
-
The Venice Graffitti Pit was knocked down.
LA County was released.
-
When I look back at 2000 I think of those stupid beanies with the bill on them, big, puffy over-technical shoes, and a lot of good music was happening.
-
This thread made my night.
-
watch jackass for a possible 10 second clip of skateboarding as your only hope of seeing some skateboarding on tv not from a VHS tape.
-
I agree with some others here saying menakmati sums it up. Kinda an inflated time for shoes, video production and ad layouts. You guys know there were good videos out in 2000 rite? All I remember about that vid is horrendous slo mo of hubba nose slides.
-
Bluetorch TV
-
hundreds of [sv] videos downloaded over at IRC channels.

Guy Mariano's Axion Aries.

DC Manteca's
Drawstring cargo pants made of swooshy material
411 was the internet
Thrasher's video game Skate & Destroy
Heiroglyphics label
7.5 boards
Menikmati
Ed Templeton skated demos
-
I was wearing jean shorts and new balances.
But I was 4.
-
Illusion flips were still in. MuskaBeatz type music was in. Slow montage music, emo rock was allowed. Watch The Reason or Modus.

People were already anxiously awaiting the Flip video which the title wasn't known yet and wouldn't be premiered for another two years (in Japan of all places). You have to understand back then Flip had the most mystique out of any other board company. Skateboard websites had just started gathering momentum and they provided only a few updates. No American riders, Tom Penny's Menikmati part was recycled footage so still not much new from him. Ali Boulala has a little footage here and there. Arto was up and coming after his eS part. There's this kid named Bastien who's tearing up contests. Alex Chalmers was this park ripper seen in the Transworld montage sections. Rowley hadn't had a part out for awhile but was dropping insane Magazine Photos/Vans Ads via Daniel Harold Sturt. Plus Rowley and Glifburgs popularity was high from Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. Growing up in that era of skating, that will always be the most anticipated skate video of all-time to me.

Tum Yeto came through Calgary at Max Bell Arena. Trainwreck , JT , BA , Ethan Fowler , Ed Templeton, so many more. Best demo. Trainwreck destroyed it. I never heard of him before that.

Soulseek had everything man, responsible for alot of the good old punk and powerpop music I got heavy into as well.

Anthony Van Engelen rocked cornrows, watch the video a new horizon on top of menikmati and you’ll get a good idea of the 2000
-
Seeing a 30 seconds clip on the World industries web site took literally ages to load.
Transworld videos were the best shit ever.
Kids with Muska decks everywhere.
Plan B was done since years.
Wanted to learn so bad nosegrind pop outs in the middle (never succeeded).
Went to Barcelona, at Macba there were maybe 10 skaters including me and my two friends.
The Big four where still four.
Still no EU so in Spain you still had pesetas.

It’s amazing to see someone talk about Jay’s gap on here. Also what the fuck, how have I never heard about Steve Olson 360 flipping maze gap? True or not, that’s some legendary folklore
