Virtual Reality - Plan B - 1993

Virtual Reality from Plan B Skateboards, circa 1993. This was Plan B's second offering with a great mix of vert, miniramp, and good ol' street. Skateboarding was painfully slow at this time with 1 mph rollups and 3 inch grinds. Plan B changed this by getting skaters that had the perfect mix of speed and skill. This ones definitely worth checking out, especially with all of the "guest skaters".

Goldfish from Girl Skateboards, circa 1993. This was Girl's first video, and they really wanted to blow everyone away with this one. They actually managed to throw in a little transition for those of us who like such things. This was a Spike Jonze creation, which of course includes skits.

Ravers - Birdhouse - 1993

Ravers from Birdhouse Projects, circa 1993. Who knew Tony Hawk could get so tech! Birdhouse had some pretty sick skaters on their team, but this is a time when skaters were simply fumbling for tricks. Not to say they aren't sick tricks, but it seems like things were progressing at a heavy pace and people were just trying to keep up.
