Natas, Martinez, Stranger & Mic-E.
Came across this on Chris Hall’s blog. Old 16mm footage from Goin’ Off. Pretty mind blowing. Its 88’ or 89’ and look at the boards these dudes are riding: wide, flat with tiny noses. Then look at what they are doing. These guys were trailblazers in the truest sense. Along with Gonz, they literally were street skating, meaning that they were creating what street skating would become in the next 10 years. Watch Natas work the school yard banks, benches and walls, he was years ahead of everybody. That is OG Santa Monica surf and street style. Shit, I’m getting all choked up just writing this.

Skateboarding & Graffiti… hand in hand, in my book.
I love to watch the progression of them both.. from how simple it started to how crazy tech it became.. in both realms.
