Im curious, what are the wheels that the bones brigade uses in Animal Chin? Also the wheels used by Tommy G in the beginning of Future Primitive? ALSO lol, what wheels are the Bones Brigade riding in Police Academy 4 skate scene? (google Police Academy 4 Skateboarding). In all of these instances the wheels look too big to be Rat Bones, not same shape as Cubics. I THINK they are the regular original Bones that came out in late 70s/early80s but that doesn't make sense since all of these instances are either 1985 or later. Any ideas?
all those guys skated different wheels at different times/ rat bones/ crossbones/ cubics/street rats/ etc.. and even then.. they had access to special "team wheels" the general skate public did not have access to... however.. i think tommy g has rat bones in future primitave/ as for chin i know for a fact hawk and mcgill used crossbones quite a bit/ or t-bones. depends. toooooooooo many possibilities my man. i can tell u for a fact that mullen used freestyle wheels in his short scene in chin..(he he)
Were T-BONES out during animal chin? And i was always bummed that mullen had such a short part in animal chin, anyone have a clue why the master himself had such a short, kinda lame, part in that video?
Mullen was a freestyle guy only back then. Street skating hadn't really evolved. Honestly my crowd really kind of giggled at the freestyle parts on the videos, thinking it was kind of lame. Technical, but lame. Looking back now, I can appreciate how revolutionary and evolutionary it was.
true. freestyle was not looked at as being cool even in the 80's when it was an option. anyone that even tried to compete with mullen usualy failed. i thought t-bones came out around the same time.. i guess i could be wrong.. either way crossbones were defenetly in. thats for sure. and ... (still the best wheel ever)
Cross Bones II's are just too easy to get NOS for just about original MSRP. I've order three sets from oldschoolskates.com in the past few months, and they have plenty of duros and colors in mint condition.
The OG's are what I'd love to see. One of the best wheels ever.
