1:34.  This blew my mind as a kid.  I'm kind of bummed now because I never noticed he used a kicker to get on the rail.

Gnarly nonetheless, especially in a line.

For sure.  I just can't believe I never noticed it seeing as I've watched that video 30+ times.

When I was getting started skating in 1987, HIC (Hawaiian Island Creations) a surf shop at the mall with a legit skate department that sponsored contests in Hawaii had still photos of Bo Ikeda going up pvc slider rails that were hard to fathom until I saw Savannah Slamma. Gonz @19:51 was the first I ever saw and it took a while to make sense in my mind.

haha, we all do, it's foundation!
no, in all seriousness i was a bit shocked for it to be the 5th reply. oddity as well as souvenir are both criminally underrated videos imo. i'll watch them both regularly and i don't even like rail skating that much. they're just such a cute bunch of friends, or at least the videos do a really great job of portraying that image. sorry for going off on a tangent here but i really love the f

Emerica really hyped that up during that time, that Leo and Westgate were about the only ones doing it

funny that ed did it probably a good 15 years or so before either of those guys were household names...

Impish sausage is definitely gonna blow up as a euphemism this year

Cole is the man. Why this dude is constantly forgotten boggles my mind. I remember a Nine Club where they were talking about head-on nose grinds on rails and couldn't think of a dude who can do that.

Cole can do that. Cole can do that as a warm up.
