-
So rad, thanks Slap.

Always killin it Mark.

Awesome. Love the last picture, showing him still killing it.
-
Seriously, this is so rad.

Yeah that photo was sick I'm glad he's still skating. Public Domain part was so sick at the time.
-
Frankie was one of the first guys that had shops asking for his Pro model. He didn't have to work his way through the Am contests. People saw his video parts and demanded a Pro board. Enter the video Pro. My friend Greg bought his debut board right as it came out. How stoked was I when he didn't like the shape. I traded him my Vallely board for it. I also rode Lance's boards because that's what Frankie rode in the videos. After Frankie, Laban really took off on the stunt man style. People forget how gnarly Laban was also. Glad to see you skating Frankie! No one is expecting you to kill yourself all over again. Just skate and enjoy it Brother.
-
Nice work. Biggest single influence in my skating, ever.
-
Seriously, this is so rad.

What this interview didn't say was that Frankie gave one of his Bulldog reissue decks -- which he signed -- to Van Wastell's brother Eddie. Eddie collects old decks from the '70s and '80s. Frankie's board meant a lot to him. Frankie definitely rules and has a ton of heart.
-
"Frankie could do it."
My friends and I must have said that hundreds of times. Staring off the top of 70 steps and looking down rails with 6 kinks in them.
-
he looks kinda like james craig

that's some proper stuff

"Take your balls out of your pocket!" I don't know if Frankie Hill really said this but my friends and I attributed it to him. I distinctly remember my friend yelling this at me before I slid my first handrail. Glad to see the guy get some props.

diabolical is shaping up to be the santa barbara over thirty legends team. hopefully this means more tony tieu and santarossa footy. mike abarta is a young buck but that dude rips too.

Nice work. Biggest single influence in my skating, ever.
I definitely remember being hyped on jumping down shit I never considered jumping down before because of the guy. Also, Japans!

This is almost word for word what I told him.
So hyped on seeing this interview see the light of day -- can't wait for part 2.

That is monster.
-
IMHO, the product was shit, but I never held it against him, not after all the shit he went through. Also, he wasn't some third rate pro trying to milk it either...
-
It really makes me happy that he's still heathy and skating. I blew out my ACL in 2001, it sucks and takes a long time to come back from, and that's if your lucky enough to have health care/surgery.
-
yes... putting the hand down
i ollied a big gap when i was like 14 or 15 in high school and i remember sticking on it so many times...
the try when i finally did make it i put my hand down and i remember not even thinking about it it just happened... i knew i had to do it to ride away frrom the trick. such a sick feeling
-
I feel that Tail Devils are unfairly maligned. Somehow there was one at the last skate house I lived at. We poured gasoline on the ground and did sparking skids through it which lit the gas. It was great fun!
-
interview was tight, hill deserves all the credit he can get

-
So rad. He had such cool style, I wish I could see some of the footage that he said Peralta pulled because he hand dragged. Glad to see he's doing well now.
-
The 50-50 to kf out on that powell rail was pretty damn clean.
-
I'm glad someone transcribed this so I could read it at work. He had a part in the Powell 8 video, too. I already said this in the other Frankie Hill thread, but he does a crazy boardslide down a kinked brick ledge.
-
It's nice to get the whole settlement story cleared up. There's been rumours about what happened for years and years.
His first three PP parts were definitely on my regular video watching rotation back in those days... my early high school years. After Propaganda though, I kinda moved on and didn't really pay much attention to what he was doing. Definitely happy to see him get some respect for what he did back then.
-
Sick interview. Interesting to read about serious injuries and how skaters deal with them. That's shitty how George Powell didn't even really know he was hurt so bad. Wish him the best of luck skating again.
-
I've got a lot of respect for his bowing out of skateboarding like that and not trying to milk it. Not that going to George would have been milking it by any means, but it seems like that kind of mentality runs few and far between these days.
-
As an old guy who's back skating again, it's good to see him back out there and motivated too.
-
Seems like he's super humble, thats insane. All the rail dudes pretty much stemmed from him.
-
gotta love his blitzkrieg career
-
Can't wait to see how his skating is looking today. The year I started skating the guy who got me into it, Dave Young of Winnipeg, had the Frankie Hill bulldog board. That Chaos part was nuts—varial double flip over the Skatezone pyramid? Talk about tech-gnar.
-
that tech part was a lot more tech than I thought it would be, resembles trends in modern skating pretty closely. cool stuff all around.
-
that fool is still ripping!!!
-
fuck yea frankie
-
His part in Powell - Hot Batch got me psyched on skating stairs back when I first started skating. I love the way he charged stuff.
Thanks Slap for letting him tell his story.

There's some new footage of him in the Krooked catalog:

-
He killed every spot in Santa Barbara.
-
i gotta hunt down some sequence he had in the skateboard mag - late shove over a rail into a bank. knee looked like it was handling business at that moment!
-
I couldn't find Frankie's Hot Batch part on youtube so I dug out my vhs copy and digitized it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtlkbtzJmlc
-
respect, first time i heard of this fool was not too long ago. i sometimes skate with older dudes and they were all about this era of powell and shit. always talked about how gnarly this dude was.
-
Thanks for this. He was my first favorite skater.
-
Frankie Hill was more punk rock than all of the Santa Cruz videos of the late 80's/early 90's and their SST video soundtracks. He just always skated to a completely different beat. Thanks for finally telling his story and setting the record straight. He inspired me when I first started skating, and now that I'm in what many would consider midlife, seeing that photo of him willing himself over that hydrant, I'm inspired yet again.
-
Nice work, Slap. Awesome to hear from Frankie.
God, it's funny - I grew up watching those early powell-peralta vids (the era when stacy was still with the company) and it's hilarious how awful they look now. Not the skating, which is still rad, but the video style. Ugh. Thank god H-Street and World Industries came along to save the day...

Dude, I totally agree with you. Frankie was out there killing it -- no aesthetic involved; he was just raw and attacking it. But, fuck, on a somewhat unrelated note: Streets on Fire had the SICKEST soundtrack. Fucking Pailhead killed it.
-
You don't have to tell me. I love the music from the Santa Cruz vids.
I'm just so glad to see that Frankie Hill is so humble about his impact on skateboarding (effectively deflecting so much of the credit he deserves by deferring it to his own heroes, Natas and Gonz).
Also, when he talks about Gonz doing his graphics for his tribute board, you can feel the kindred gush of fandom and realize that he is a skate rat at heart like so many of us on the messageboard. Gotta love the guys you idolize who continue to have their feet firmly planted on the earth even when you try to insist they stand on some pedestal.
-
So good. Inspirational stuff for sure.

Oh, yeah. Totally. I did this interview. Frankie's definitely sincere as all hell and is 100% skateboarder. Getting to skate with him that day was ill cuz I could tell that his enthusiasm for skating hasn't diminished at all.
-
His Chaos part seems to prove that if he hadn't hurt his knee, or even if he had gotten a luckier break with surgery earlier on, he would have still progressed and remained a valid and influential pro for a really long time.
-
I think that part showed how versatile Frankie was. While that era of skating hasn't aged well (in my opinion), double backside flips over the pyramid at Skate Zone -- well that's just straight up nuts. Frankie fared better than most cuz he coupled that tech stuff with his gnarliness. But Propaganda will always be my favorite part. I really love burly tricks done smoothly. But as I said before, Matt Reason's skating really solidified my views on skating. That run he does in 411 -- switch 180 up the curb, k grind, back tail -- it's totally basic but it's one of my favorite lines of all time. Frankie's Propaganda part had a lot of those qualities. Basic tricks done fucking so well -- gnarly mute grabs, 180s, 50-50s, etc.
-
It's too bad that the guest board didn't come in the normal popsicle shape and an old school shape. I'd love to do some mute grabs on an old school shaped Hill board.
-
some fat guy in his 30's came up to me while i was skating these sets of 5 stairs at a church, he said let me see your board and took it, did this sorta weird grab trick and then left and said that was some frankie hill for ya, totally awesome
-
Late pop shuv to knuckle drag... crusher.
-
I watch his Ban This part a lot, looks like a filmed it in a day, which is a good thing. I would have liked to see if he landed that boardslide before he was cut off though.

Even though, many who are familiar with your deference to Matt Reason's part in 411 pro files, have tired of your referring to it, I am in agreement. Skateboarding shouldn't be overly complicated to be satisfying or impressive. Skateboarding is as skateboarding does. There is so much satisfaction in a line done superbly without it being phony when it should be sincere. Frankie Hill's skating is to Bukowski, as so much skateboarding footage that is New York Times best seller list (even though it is masqueraded as something else). I can feel the working class ethic behind so many of Frankie Hill's tricks (despite his talent or because of it). Hopefully, consequent generations can continue to recognize the difference. [Can you tell I've drank a purple and a red Four Lokos (I'm almost cross-eyed for Pete's sake)?]

Yes. You overcomplicated a statement about making skateboarding over complicated skateboarding.
-
Frankie has been an inspiration for years. After reading that I have even more respect for a dude who had to deal with so much shit to keep ripping years and years later out of the limelight for the pure love of skateboarding. Props to Frankie for all his contributions to skateboarding and props to skateboarding for saving us all.

Interesting article.

sick interview, this is one of the many reasons why i like this place so much.
any time there would be some big gap, drop or crazy rail, i'd have one of the songs from his parts playing in my head and just barge it. i think he was the first person(i'd seen on film at least) to skate a roof gap and he kickflipped that shit. he truly took 'going for broke' to a whole new level in each of his parts. he is/has always been a huge motivating factor to me and i'm stoked hes still skating and having fun.
-
when I skate around UCSB all I can think about is Frankie Hill killing the 8 and the 8 killing him, good to see some photos!

Haha, that's funny to picture, just because the songs from his early powell parts are kind of like casio keyboard demos. Actually, I think I've had the music for his Ban This part stuck in my head a few times before.

Re-reading that comment this morning, I'm amazed I was even halfway coherent. I still stand by my words though. I also find it crazy that he filmed some of those amazing parts in such a short amount of time.
-
That was a good read. His parts where at least 10 years ahead of there time, I remember people saying it was fake because it was so different then what other people where doing. I think it is super rad he is getting some of the attention he deserves!
-
Great interview!!!
-
All these where are they now interviews are awesome. Have any more lined up?
I may be able to line up a Damon Byrd interview.
-
so glad to see him back on his board

I refer to Matt Reason as much as Bukowski referred to Louis-Ferdinand Celine.

It was either him or Cookiehead. I just like that he is one of the original crooked grinders and his style was pretty smooth.

He's definitely one of the few guys from that time period that were tech and super smooth.
I've been watching this part a bunch lately:

So stoked on the interview! I use to skate against Frankie in CASL contest's back in 1986 and he skated for Dogtown. So stoked on his guest mod on Krooked!

When it comes to skateboarding, I am absolutely a product of the late eighties/early nineties. I must've watched the Bones Brigade vids - specifically Public Domain, Ban This and Propaganda - at least 1,000 times each. We'd get stoked on one of those old VHS tapes every day before heading out to skate. Frankie Hill and Ray Barbee were, and still are, two of my biggest influences. Now Frankie's on the comeback and sporting a guest deck on Krooked, the best company in skating today imo. Long live the old school and all the pioneers that made skateboarding what it is today. Way to go Frankie! Welcome back. PS - is anyone else having a hard time imagining what it would be like to go to the dentist and end up with Frankie Hill cleaning your teeth? Madness. PPS - does anyone else remember the credit card commercial spoof with Frankie acting as the "satisfied customer" because the customer service agent helped find him a new skate spot after a bust? You have to admit those Powell vids were truly original.
-
Nice work, Slap. Awesome to hear from Frankie.
God, it's funny - I grew up watching those early powell-peralta vids (the era when stacy was still with the company) and it's hilarious how awful they look now. Not the skating, which is still rad, but the video style. Ugh. Thank god H-Street and World Industries came along to save the day...
LOL. Your comment about the look of the old Powell videos just reminded me of the AWFUL audio. I still love them as the classics that they are, but I swear all of the sounds - wheels rolling, tails popping, wheels hitting the concrete on landings - were all pre-packaged audio clips added in post-production. So hysterically bad by today's standards.
-
i especially enjoyed the "railslide" and "grind" batman-esque frames they flashed during the up-and-comers section on ban this (the part with rudy, guy, paulo,gabriel)

I have to confess (not that it's a bad thing). I own the box set of the bones brigade video DVD reissues 1-6: Bones Brigade Video Show through Propaganda. I still love em. Probably watch Public Domain and Propaganda more than any others, but you have to love Animal Chin!

H-Street videos, looking back now, were pretty damn bad... the Tony Mag commentary. Brutal! The home made rap "super skate camp". Terrible! Daniel Harold Stewart was a good filmer though. World/Blind/101... the Spike influence made them good.

haha i forgot about that! that skate camp thing someone does some fucking crazy ass trick on that sketchy pvc handrail that they built.
i actually like the h-street videos a lot better than the powell ones... the powell ones seemed too much like they were trying to make a movie... like guys hitting golf balls and shit... h street was more just the raw skating - the filming was a bit crappier, but it was really raw. i really want to watch DTS the video i have never seen that one. keep in mind im just about 24 years old- so i dindt start seeing these videos til i was like 16. it was hard for me to watch animal chin in its entirety, especially that part with the jazz singer. i had a really short attention span back then too.
-
I just watched one of those old Powell videos, Ban This or Public Domain. It had some silly shit in it. Like some the lady says "Da, Weak ollies are a global problem" and then it flashes to a picture of a squirrel and then a clown.
The H-Street videos were so long they would just mentally wear you down after awhile. It was an endurance test once it got to the slow mo skate camp footage in Hocus Pokus. I wonder whatever became of the little 3 rd World kid who sang Can't Get No Satisfaction? Addicted to glue? Joined a paramilitary death squad? Carnivale transvestite?

Yeah, the Powell skits were straight cheese. Most classic in my opinion was the Hawk / Mountain / Saiz golf sketch from Ban This..."The Greater Gutter Open". Yes, I know these vids way too well.

Gonna drink a glass of wine and lament my sprained ankle and cross my fingers. I'm guessing the third world kid in Hokus Pokus might have become a celebrity with the stomach rolling skills thanks to that video.
