Plebs - OG/ Early 90's Sydney Video

[Gray Imp Sausage Metal]

It's funny to watch this to see how little skateboarding has changed over all these years.

I was skating the post office steps in Newcastle wearing one stars just over a year ago (was there lots of homeless people living there in the 90s also?)

history repeats huh? Go watch a polar edit and then watch rubbish heap; dudes are basically trying to look like early 90s Mike V.
I actually kinda want some one stars now but I think that's more to do with my Beastie Boys obsession

ahhhh that was sick, ive skated most the sydney spots, my weekends growing up were spent skating either cook and phil cathedral, martin place, warming up at hyde park and usually ending with some beers at chifley. Makes me miss it, havent been back to home for 3 years now.

I also missed this post Dr. Yeah, I miss Sydney a lot these days too, haven't been back in nearly 10 years now. Did you used to skate world trade too, or was it before your time?
White marble ledges out the back of Wynard station was such a magic spot too.
It's funny, but someone from Melbourne was commenting on how dead the CBDs were back in the day and it's so true; now the city's are packed even on Sundays

I remember sundays being perfect for skating the city of sydney, most spots were completely empty. I skated the marble ledges for sure but i cant even place where the world trade centre is/was but im sure i would have had to skate there at some point, my memorys so bad

yeah apart from the little crews of other skaters and random bums there was no one around. world trade is just before you pull into wynard, like if you caught the bus from the northern beaches you would get off at the stop before wynard. it had two sections though; the top half was the 5 stair and wooden ledges (where gordo is doing the switch kick flip trick tip in plebs) and the bottom part was mainly flat ground but had a nice little black marble ledge (bust factor was high though). If you look up Lang Park, York street on Google maps you'll see that there's now a Dominos Pizza out the back where the 5 stair was

there's a church across the road too

Damn Davo was good. So many tricks in here I'd seen photos of in Slam, great to finally see them.

Wasn't Gordo doing video stuff back in the day? What's he doing now?

[Mongey]

Fuck. That’s rad. Know so many of  the spots.

Anything into the pit was no joke. That thing sucked. But everyone skated it

[Mongey]

hey is that the redfern skatepark at 8'50 ? with that metal vert/middle ramp?

Waterloo ? Nah that was on basketball courts. Not sure where that is. We used to skate there twice a week in the mid to late 90’s.

yeah, Davo was on another level for a few years there, I know he made it to the states so I wonder why he didn't get the shine he deserved? Yes, Gordo made plebs he was actually a really good skater too. Not sure what he's doing these days but do you remember when he was in the moove milk ads?
Pretty sure the youtube channel that posted plebs is his, not super active or anything but some gems in there.

yeah, lots of OG spots in there huh? crazy to think that the majority of tricks done into the pit were on sub 50mm wheels
