Nice timing!<br /><br />Hill's skating in Domain and Ban This are among the most inspiring ever, and certainly of that time period. I personally like his style from that time. Pulling a trick and barely making it, hands touching the ground, reminded me of Jay Adams skating as a kid. It wasn't until he grew a few more inches and started getting really tech that his style really suffered. He could still go big and fast but he lost that low-center-gravity thing and when he barely made a trick, instead of recovering he just looked like a stick man. In other words, he started to look like Tony Hawk during his worst years. <br /><br />His part in Domain is still great to watch. Its easy to recall the excitement I felt as a kid, sitting in my living room watching that part over and over, my board sitting next to the door, getting all stoked to go out and skate. It was one of the few Powell vid parts that had the same kind of energy that the Santa Cruz vids of that era had.mikebythesunnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969196656166890081.post-47140839456371608592010-03-01T23:31:49.494-08:002010-03-01T23:31:49.494-08:00RAD! im from santa barbara and have skated/seen mo...RAD! im from santa barbara and have skated/seen most of those spots growing up and to this day frankie's tricks are still probably the best done.<br /><br />the thrasher cover is a really tall rail that goes down down a bank actually, peter smolik boardslides it in the credits of fullful the dream and some little kid yells something at him i think... that thing was huge and i cant imagine getting up there on the board he's riding.<br /><br />Also, maybe five or six years ago i would see Frankie skating around town. Even after the knee problems he was still skating some of the gnarliest spots in town. if you can find it, he had a part in a Revolver Skateboards video around this time that has most of the footage. <br /><br />anyway, any chance you have that santa barbarians article?JCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969196656166890081.post-62203735102467421392010-03-01T21:03:34.164-08:002010-03-01T21:03:34.164-08:00Thank you for posting this.

I saw the video of that after I graduated and just couldn't believe it. Saw him at Powell too and he would just go apey on everything.ODGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06204209150523939917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969196656166890081.post-24763127866736520322010-03-01T20:02:41.532-08:002010-03-01T20:02:41.532-08:00sweet!! frankie was a guilty pleasure of mine. the...sweet!! frankie was a guilty pleasure of mine. the hang time at the end of his propaganda is still to this day so insane. <br /><br />oh and mr. ricks, you weren't too shabby yourself. you had the most proper kickflip lates in the game.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14431720592720961622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969196656166890081.post-21059783875352666852010-03-01T16:16:27.679-08:002010-03-01T16:16:27.679-08:00That Thrasher cover is so cool because it's so...That Thrasher cover is so cool because it's so unique...
