Here’s a playlist of 40 pretty random skating (as in sidewalk surfing) videos on YouTube. I never searched systematically. Obviously I find 60s and longboard films the most interesting, you don’t have to turn down the sound as much as with some of the hectic stuff.
YouTube – Broadcast Yourself..
Here’s a shoe for you:
The original skateboard shoe from 1966 – Vans.
Keds would be even more period perfect, as worn by The Challengers:
Are Keds still available? The last time I was in Biarritz I saw them in a shop window.
Retro To Go: Vans Authentic – original 1960s trainers back on the market.
Skateboard Sense is a safety film. The skating is stylish bankriding and nose wheelies and it’s just a great window into a time before skating was becoming more radical. So the action here could be from the sixties with a little shorter hair and clay wheels. Amazingly the music selection fits the skating style perfectly, the movie even starts with a nifty cool surf-instrumental that I didn’t know before. It’s a very competendly crafted tune. The other music is blues rock and slapstick/silent-movies oldtime music. A Sid Davis Production.
