circa 2001, a pop shove, but it felt like it was a "My War"
maybe not the landed one, but i got it eventually (dude wasn't a skate photographer and was not hyped when he realised he was burning through his precious B&W film)
i remember he couldn't believe i landed it, neither did i
iirc vans powell mini logo 7.75, venture lows, blank wheels/bearings

also from that day :

what was i thinking?
...but it's the only ones i got of me skating so i kinda like em anyway

bonus info, guy on the right is wearing D3s, had never ever stepped on a board

aaah the memories... thanx for this thread!

5-0 on a long low ledge.
Planet earth deck, orion trucks, spitfire wheels, DC legacy shoes.



Kickflip backside 50-50.
I had frontside ones on lock and was learning them here. I think this 'make' was an accidental 5-0 eventually.

Workshop deck, venture trucks, spitfire wheels, adidas running shoes, droors longsleeve, droors hat on my belt...

Started skating in 2008, but the oldest picture I've saved is this one from 2012, when I was 18 (I started to really progress the year of this photo, I was very lazy the first years)

Weird Fs noseslide at the main spot of my hometown, skating a 7.8 Cliché with some Thunders and Autobahn wheels I think, and wearing some Adidas that a friend gave to me.

Hahaha thanks! definitely Fs noseslides are one of my favourite tricks and specially love them on people like Max Palmer, but I always think that mine looks a little weird.

Landed it but put my hand down... Took awhile. It was pretty terrifying but that coping was asking for it.

I can see how my post was unclear. No shame in the skating and the fun times had with friends. Terrible song, that is all. Great shots in this thread by the way, wish I had old pics.

has to be my fave in this...Dressen-esque! and good pic.

anyways funny thread ha.....so here's an early grab bs air in the weird-ass concrete park I learned to skate in, 88 maybe! Wearing some fake euro Vans, now who can remember that German brand? and I think that was a Schmit Styx Miller. Loved that board! I kept one actually, but not sure if that same exact one...

These videos are legendary lmao. Kids don’t make em like that anymore. A couple great pics in here too. I have no cool or stylish pics just awkward struggle tricks in the earliest days of us learning how to skate.

Nonsense like this which appears to be the same day as pic in OP. Pointless spot in our neighborhood were we would do pretty much un-landable boardslides on telephone poles lol. And I’m really posting this because Im trying to identify the shoe.  Any skate nerd know what this ugly ass chunky shoe is?

I’m pretty sure once i became a Reynolds stan I rarely changed from Emericas but idk if those are emericas

I started skating on my birthday in the year 2000. I have photos of me trying to ollie and shit on the first day. I was a 100% nerd back then, so the photos are not for public consumption.

I had a pretty steady skate crew until 2005 and from 2002 on, I documented all of our skateboarding with my first digital camera. Progress was very slow, so there are not a lot of photos I am proud of, but this one is definitely my favorite: nollie bs 180 on a bank (the footage looked a lot less impressive), sometime in 2003



I am actually in the process of adding all of our skate photos to my personal photo archive, but the work is painstaking, because the digital camera reset its date to 1.1.2000 every time I took the batteries out to recharge.

I wish my old photos were as sick as all y'all's. I know that mine is me when I'm a prepubescent 13 year old wearing full pads posing a switch nosepick on a curb looking back smiling. My dad said he wanted a picture of me skating and apparently that was the coolest trick I could think of at the time. I'm glad I couldn't find it because it's borderline too embarrassing to post.

This is me at the park when I was 12 though (2001 or 2002):

14 years old. 1994 Wallenberg water fountain ollie. Not sure on the set up but I would bet it was a Guy deck. For sure had on the Airwalk Jason Lee's(white/gum).

So in this first one I’m probably 14/15 and this kid who was like 2 years older than us needed to do a project for a production class he had in high school and he used to skate and asked us if he could use our footage for his project, I remembered thinking since he used to skate he would probably make it cool, I was obviously wrong I start at 2:12

The second one was right after. I torn my ACL at 16 and that was basically everything from the first video until I blew my knee out, other than some super cring worthy fits and 2 weird blackouts in edit I like it ok.

oh man launch ramp era is nostalgia to the max! I used to have one in my parents' garage, I have to scan some of the pics from that.... I just wish I had some wallride pics from when we used to put it against a wall somewhere, that was fun.

The best!

My parents have pics of probably the worst 1/4 ever built and our flyout sessions. Also, pretty sure I used a ping pong table as a bank in some weird ass set up

When I get a chance I'll try to find the real old ones ( late 80s/early 90's ) but this is the oldest I could find right now ... I think it's circa 2000 3rd and Army front nose slide

This thread made me dig deep into YouTube.
These videos are some of the first footage I remember putting out. It’s funny looking back and seeing how far things have come from the high school years.
It’s not hard to miss me, but I’m the one doing nollie flips in the first video and ollie/360 flipping everything in sight.
