21 minutes?! gotta make a beer run before I watch

[asakusa75]

Its so, so good.... how do I get this on to my computer?
Edit : Watched it on TWS site first, just realised this is a youtube clip.
Never mind me...

[StinkyLarry]

This is the best

[RoaryMcTwang]

Some of the best skateboarding of all time right here.

[castillo's curls]

Flawless.

Penal Code will always be my favorite video of all time.

Thank you Manolo/FTC.

[Little Debbie]

all the skating seemed so smooth, relaxed... wow. amazing edit Manolo, gnar if i could

[Bronson]

Amazing footage, an amazing edit. Thank you so much.

[carbonite]

thank you sir

[banksandledges]

This was simply perfect.  Holding my breath for an Underachievers remix.....

[OldieButFrenchie]

PARFAIT!!

As we say in frog-land ha....   
What made it even better for me is that Penal Code was one of those vids I never got to see back in those pre-internet days. and I had no idea so many heads were in this!

So now the tough question : were the skating/hip hop scenes simply better/purer in the 90's? Or are we all just nostalgic for our youth? Pretty good essay material if you ask me...

Yo thank you so much MANOLOS! Can't believe how quick those 21 minutes flew by.

At the same time everybody is 'complaining' that kids nowadays try to emulate the 90s look but if you ask me they're not even close.

I was blown away when i first watched Meza's transfer vhs.. Lavar and so much gold.
That thing was taking dust on a shelf, and probably still be if i didn't ask.
Thanks for the love everybody.

[The Mess]

jesus christ that was good. the footage quality is super sick too. Thank you Manolo/FTC/Meza and co. Such a good era.

[fongool]

Lavar was on fire at this time -- between Trilogy, Penal Code, his 411 Profile, etc., he probably had 10 minutes of footage that year.

Also, I had never seen some of this until just now:

[master p]

Sounds good. Ima get high and pour a glass of the 2.50 chardonnay and enjoy.

[master p]

Thanks man. Glad there never be the same era. No matter how many camo colors you fit on your pants. This a drift off to sleep vid in a good way.

Still proud of switch mongo

[poowizard]

Gravy, gravy, switch mongo gravy! Oh man. That was everything I love and hold dear. Manolo will you marry me? Gonna shoot this over to some friends right now. Mmmmm good.

[Matze]

Thank you so much manolo.

[doomstation55]

I'm too young to have seen the original videos and most of the youtube versions are pretty shitty, this was great to see. All of the iconic styles from the time as well as the dudes I've never heard of made it feel like a good period piece into that era of skateboarding. I'd be interested in where many of these smaller name dudes ended up.

Soo fucking guud
