Rodney Mullen has a particularly gnarly freestyle sequence in “Future Primitive” from Powell Peralta, 1985. Stay for Hawk, Lance Mountain, Tony Guerrero and others in the Bones Brigade crew.

Right? This was the heyday of my young skater days, and the under the knee sock thing was popular. (though most of us had color banded socks…) Totally hold over from the late 70’s.

What strikes me about this video is how he nails every single trick, and it’s one continuous shot so it’s not like his bails have been edited out.
