I heard no one ever actually "street" skated, all that old footage was shot on sound stages or on location but with permits and everything. I guess people were naive back then, but it's funny anyone ever thought that shit was real, looking back now you can tell, especially when there were "confrontations" with "police" and "neighbours" lolz.
As if anyone would really go and skate some private property with security and people, but the industry back then really knew how to make a buck by selling that outlaw image, and it worked.
It'd be cool if someone brought back "street" skating though, like for real. Last year when they did the street section at The All-Star Jam it was pretty cool.
