Bones Brigade Documentary in the works!
Stacy, Rodney, CAB, Tony, MIke, Lance and Tommy will be working on a Bones Brigade Documentary starting in February 2011.
On Monday, November 29th at Los Angeles International Airport, seven individuals that have had an extreme influence on skateboarding sat down to discuss work on a documentary of their experience. They met at the Encounter restaurant in the middle of the airport to begin work on this monumental film.
Stacy wrote, "Those skaters known as the Bones Brigade are now old enough to take a look back. At a time in the 80's when many people were mourning the second death of skateboarding, the Bones Brigade through passion, drive, creativity and a surprising sense of teamwork redefined the sport for their time and the future".
Documentary filmmaker, Stacy Peralta in a new film with Tony Hawk, Lance Mountain, Steve Caballero, Mike McGill, Rodney Mullen, Tommy Guerrero and others will investigate the history, the team and the men to determine what is the legacy of the Bones Brigade. "Five years ago the guys got together and told me they wanted to do this. They believed they had a significant story others would want to know about. So now we're going to see."
Simultaneously, a Powell-Peralta coffee table book is in the works. It will include the Bones Brigade, but also other things you knew and didn't know about Powell-Peralta.
Look, Rodney's got all his teeth!
This is AWESOME. Long time coming.
Ohhh, yeah. I want to watch thiiiis!!!!!!
I began skateboarding in 1962. The early 80's brought it all back when my daughter won a G&S Warptail, with Gullwing phoenix trucks and Slammer wheels. She didn't want it.... Now in 2010, I still skate, and have that old Warptail, gently retired. You guys were just too cool for the time. Love what the younger generations of skaters have done, to carry the torch. From Sidewalk Surfing, Z Boys, Bones Brigade, X Games, to Carbon fiber and video games: it's all good!
c'est avec joie que je verai votre histoire...
looking forward to this, however, you have to have Mike V in this as well, sure he's not an original member but still an iconic Powell rider that shaped and is still shaping skateboarding.
SO GREAT TO HEAR>.. it will be an epic tale told by the legends!!!
Can't wait!
this can be a great thing! let's GO!
Hi,
You should definitely hit me-up for an NYC/New Jersey perspective on how the Bones Brigade impacted out skate scene... especially, as of the mid-80s. Even a better re-cap than what my fellow area local skaters (Mike Vallely, Jeremy Henderson, etc.) might provide.
Peace & Love,
can't wait for both the book and the documentary!
Kick Ass! I still have all the old VHS tapes...... Efin' the best! Keep us posted.
I couldn't help but notice that Tommy and Stacy didn't eat their vegetables.
Not since Animal Chin have I had such great anticipation for a film.
Hey.. um... I want to be a part of this, production-wise. Professional Videographer/Editor here, I know you've most likely got it covered, but should you need any production help, let me know. This is going to be great!
AWESOME!! I'm 36 and feel like I grew up with these guys. Whenever I see anything about any of the Boens Brigade members it takes me back and makes me remember how much I loved to skate as a kid. Can't wait for the documentory and the book. I'll be one of the first to purchase both.
This crew of skaters, influenced my childhood and teen years. I am greatly looking forward to the documentery on this period of skateboarding history. thanks guys....
rick joubert
Excellent! It's about time!
AWESOME! Let Stacy know that I'm available if he needs some set help.
Thomas
Just getting this news took me back to those glory days! I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS!!!
AWESOME!!! Looking forward to the book and the documentary!!!
I remember skating winchester and campbell watching some of the bones team members- Stevie, etc. Watching these pros/amatures (then) and skating were some of the best times of my childhood.
Making this documentary is a great idea; however, YOU deserve to make this the calibre of Dog Town and Z Boyz. This movie was made well and served that skate community or cult well. The Bones Brigade needs to have the best in the business to insure you put your mark in history beyond just another skate flick.... Just my thoughts. How about I help contribute? ;-) Dave
Can't wait!!! Thanks in advance for making this happen!!
o yeah! o yeah!!
you guys are our fathers! our teachers not always learning everything good from your posses on those years... but fore sure the global was extremelly good and make us the persons we are right now!
thank you all!
GREAT NEWS, HOW CAN I RECIEVE INFO. ABOUT THIS DOCUMENTARY TAHT WILL COME OUT ON 2011. NICE WATCHING THE BONES BRIGADE BACK ON TRACK.
This is awesome!
A lot time has passed, and in some way when you see their faces it's like to see and old brother and father, when I see my old friends I looked into their eyes and all I can see it's a happy kid inside when they're skating.
You guys are great inspiration. Thanks for all! :D
Can't wait! I was a big fan of Powell Peralta and the Bones Brigade and still am. They are the ones who brought skateboarding to what it has become today!
Chicos sois parte de mi infancia, crecí viendo como patinabais e intentando imitar , me da satisfacción verosímil juntos, aunque falta gente un saludo desde málaga , España.
I grew up skating in the 80's when we were told not to skate. Bones Brigade boys are my idols and I have much respect for the whole team. You are the for fathers of skateboarding. I taught my son at the age of 2 about a board and look forward to many more drop ins with him at the skate parks. This documentary will have the most impact for future generations of skaters. I can't wait to see what come of it. Thank you all. Ben
They should have met at the Blue Tile Lounge. Speaking of... Where's Johnny Rad?
Forget those guys, where is the Johnny Rad documentary?
where is George??
Make it happen People.... I'm waiting...... can't wait to see..
Excited to see this!!!
excellent idea... we waiting for.
I think I can see Rodney already skating in this picture....I am not the only one who can't wait.....
This is gonna be the Biz! Stacy is doin his thing as a Doc Film maker, fa Sho!
Awesome!!! I still have my Bones Brigade 1986 Tour T-Shirt. EPIC. Thank you, guys. You brought skateboarding to a new level with your innovation and - of course - the videos.
Can't wait to see this and how it comes about
It is no exaggeration to say that the Future Primitive Video changed my life. From the moment Tommy G hit that SF hill on I knew skateboarding was going to shape who I was. 25 years later I'm very happy with my life and I owe it all to skateboarding.
So I for one can't wait for the next Bones Brigade Video.
I can't wait. This group turned yet another generation on to skating, and thanks to them it had it own unique image and aesthetic. I still cherish my Lance Mountain future primitive board. One of these days I'm going to put some wheels back on it and...
Good stuff and looking forward to it.
Legal! Maravilha! HAHAHA.
Aqui no Brasil já estamos ansiosos para ver esse documentário/filme.
Gostamos muito de skateboard, da Powell Peralta e vocês influenciaram muito a gente.
Valeu!
Betão
Oh yea, skateboarding history. Count me in! I can't wait to see it.

Looks like they caught up to stacey in age.
Cant wait to get the book and movie.
Oh, hells yeah. A long time coming. It's going to be incredible. These guys were my age when I was in my prime of skating. I looked up to all of them (especially Lance). So incredibly cool!!!

Best news I heard in a while. Bring back Airwalk Prototypes and Bridgebolts.
Congratulation ,we need to remember your style in videos.....
Superb! looking forward to it. Good to see the crew back together.

Stoked. Can't wait
Só feras: meu sonho é ver esses caras aqui no Brazil, lembrando que por aqui o skateboard só perde pro futebol como esporte mais praticado no pais!!
Awesome. Cant wait. These guys are why I started skateboarding back when bones 1 video show came out
great stuff, looking back at fun times makes gettin old a little easier!
Long overdue. These guys are the guys who piqued my interest in skateboarding back in the day. Can't wait for the film.
THIS IS GONNA BE RAD, AS A TEENAGER I SPENT ALL MY TIME WATCHING BONES BRIGADE VIDEOS AND SKATING WITH MY FRIENDS A PART OF MY LIFE I WILL NEVER FORGET!!!!
CANT WAIT FOR IT TO COME OUT!!!!
Looks like I should hold onto my Bones Brigade DVD Box set after all and not eBay it. It will be worth way more money after this comes out!
sweet cant wait to see it
Find the Animal Chin again !!
Can you imagine walking by that table and noticing who's sitting there?
I love what I read! Last year I bought the DVD's of, The Search for Animal Chin, Ban This and Public Domain to bring back the memories, those three movies changed my life back in the day and I'm really looking forward to your new collaboration.
This makes the cirkel complete! Started skating again two years ago. This news is just perfect for the old school guys like myself. Last year we started an 'Veteran skateboard evening" once a month in our skatehall for people who are 30 year and older.
(I'm from the Netherlands so I hope to see the Bones Brigade again in Holland just like in the 80's)
Great idea looking forward to the book and film.
these guys kick the flavor
EXCELLENT!!! you guys truly inspired me and still inspire me beyond belief... sk8 or die!
for sure i would love to do a book signing in NYC. i own a gallery and bookstore called CLIC in NYC
did rodney sk8 to brunch? is that LAX? is Stacy going to pay?
Sweden, Whant this to. And for me, to see what cange my life.
Good Luck!
The Bones brigade was the biggest influence for all of us that begun skating in the 80's. I still remember the day that my friend showed me the bones brigade video. I knew than that all I wanted to do from that day on was to become a skater.
That's Great News! The Summers of 1988-90 revolved around when Bones Brigade was coming to our town. Just watched propaganda with my 5yr old son and told him about the good old days.
AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm looking forward to this again, as I expected one years ago...
Ok that video documental must be very important time, 1 our? please make a traduccion on spanish and real distribucion for download thanks
Great group of innovating mavericks. Looks like you're eating healthy too.
Keep up the good work.
F*** yeah! Bring it and the book on. I can't wait to hear about all of these guys but in particular the guy who's board I lusted over and then later rode as a teenager; Mike McGill. Skull and snake on white and pink...pure maple porn! Stu
Excellent news on the documentry and book! All those guys were responsible for many of my scrapes and broken bones in the 80's.... But what fun i had in the process.
how sick! :D
Ohhhhhh Yeahhhh!!
Awesome! Hope it's a sweet as Dogtown and Z Boys.
Awesome, long over due. Have been a fan for so many years. Friend of Mike McGill.
I would have loved to been at that table during the discussion. I will definitely will buy the book and or movie.
Dog Town now the Bones Brigade.....YES!!! Thank you Stacey, keep them coming.
Amazing!!I from Brazil and im a fan with this dream team of skt. congratulations
Powell Peralta 4 ever
Amazing!!I from Brazil and im a fan with this dream team of skt. congratulations
Powell Peralta 4 ever
This has to happen, I can't wait...
Please film it in high def. I will take 2, one for me and one for my future son!
The Bones Brigade definitely deserve this documentary!
I can't wait to see this!
PLEASE DO THIS!!! This is my youth and I would love to have something this awesome to re-live it over and over.
Fantastic news. The Bones brigade, the skating and videos were my influence and reason I started skating way back in 1985. The fact that you are still there keeps me going. best regards and good luck
i have been waiting for something like this to come out! it's about time,,,i will definately buy a copy...
WHAT? cant wait for this
THIS H.O.T. !
I've been waiting years for this. Good to hear it's finally gonna happen!
A must have. The Bones Brigade's influence and contributions to skateboarding are indisputable and eternal.
Grand!!! ;)
Be Cool
Don't Be a Fool
Remember the Starving Children
Clean Your Plate
Brush Twice To Be Sure
Have you seen him?!?
Man, I have sooo many fond memories of the original 3 or 4 movies. I could watch the Search for Animal Chin over and over when I was a kid. It's really great to see these guys back together again and the documentary is a fantastic idea!
While I'm here, thank you to the Bones Brigade for making my childhood so awesome!
Years before the first video was produced, the Bones Brigade was a critical element of my experience as a skateboarder in the dark days of the early 1980s. Ray Underhill and I joined the Bones Brigade in August 1981. With only a handful of other skaters in the Nashville, TN, vicinity, being a member of the Bones Brigade made us feel connected to something larger.
I still have the wallet-sized membership card (signed by Stacy) that I recieved as part of my Bones Brigade package.
Awesome! Stacey you will have to through a LCD slash plasma out of a window?
Amazing. Maps to the skaters homes!!
Cant wait!!!
no he doesn't fool, he's missing that same front. that's a 2011 equlivalent to a face tatoo
If it's similar to Lords of Dogtown documentary - I can't wait! I just loved the whole Dogtown thing! Good luck Stacey!
That is Per Welinder not Rodney Mullins, and Per has all his teeth I think lol.
IF YOU GUYS CAN PULL THIS OFF WITH SOME FRESH TAKES, IT WOULD TAKE IT'S PLACE IN SKATEBOARDING HISTORY. GOOD LUCK
SWEET!!
This news really makes me happy. Its so rad to see everyone together. I am ready to watch it right now. Hurry up!
for the bonus they should all film new parts. i dont care if its just pushing. id be so hyped.
Yippikayeah! Do it, because I want ... I need it!!
Who didn't grow up with these guys? Mexico City in the 80's... what a mania developed after Chin came out. Neon wheels everywhere and Brigade t-shirts to match.
The quality of the films (35mm, 16mm or whatever they were)were iconic pop works of art. Nothing like the video content H-Street and the other competitors tried pushing.
Mexico wants see this !!!
Hopefully you won't put your new mini me Beaver Cleaver on this team too. That would be an even bigger joke.
Big S. Peralta fan and looking forwarad to another high quality Peralta documentary. At 44 I still ride my McGill Skull & Snake board every weekend morning at Laguna Niguel & Ladera Ranch Sk8 parks with the OC Bombers. Skate to Create!
so stoked!
Nice to know they all care still we all grew up with the bones team. I was in the fan club remember the monthly flyers?
Im in...when do we get it?
A documentary for all who shred - bro to acquaintance, mongo to regular, old skool to new school, full pads to flannel, father to son. This is why we skate...
I grew up skating in the 80's at DMSR and the Bones Brigade there alot. It was Tonys home park after Oasis closed and I got to skate with him alot. Cab was my fav and the Bones Brigade had a huge impact on my view of skating. Im excited about this DOC.
I thought I knew alot or even enough about the bones brigade, I didn't know Rodney Mullen had anything to do with them.
I have a collection of around the way type books and would be glad to get a hold of that coffee table book for sure. I started skateboarding in 1983 and there is something entrancing about the Bones Brigade...I film looking back from the guys themselves is totally on point.
This will happen! All of us up here want to see it. Heard rumors Satan wants this to happen to.
This is awesome
Oh yeah, the skateboarding world was waiting for this since a long time.....can`t wait to watch the movie and the coffee table book!
That's just great. The Bones Brigade has been a big influence for me and my skateboarding back in the 80ies even over here in germany. Go for it!!!!
Its great when legends meet again! this is sick!
After the release of the Dog Town documentary I felt like this was the next significant chapter to be told in skateboard history. What Dog Town was to the second boom of skating, Bones Bridage was to the third. Can't wait to see the gems in this documentary. :) Now hurry up Stacey!!!
this would be a great documentary to watch. and also the book. I'll be waiting for this for sure.
Legends the lot of 'em. Can't wait to hear more on this project.
Yesss... great!
This will be one of the best skate dvd's ever. Legends.
This has gotta be some of the coolest news! The Brigade are gonna tell their story... LOVE IT!
I think I'm gonna go skate, who cares that it's snowing outside! haha, woohoo!
Thanks for the inspiration guys!
A Bones Brigade foi um marco para o sk8 mundial, estou ansioso para ver o filme.
this is really great! my first skate was a powell peralta mcgill...
keep on ripping!
'have you seen him?' when and where should i show up for the private screening? ha. i'm 35 but still reference these guys regularly. the summers of 88-89 were greatly influenced by skating and the b.b.!
So good! Don't forget sketches like old ones!
yeahhh..... thanks for doing it. skate for life....
Yeah! These guys are a big part of my youth....REALLY looking forward to seeing this....this well restart my huge crush on Tommy for sure lol :)
HEROES!!!
This is fantastic news. Stacy makes incredible documentaries and the story of these guys is fascinating. Loads of hidden footage I assume, the DVD extras will be awesome. Perhaps Barbee and Saiz interviews also?
Like the way Rodney has a board under his feet, nice touch!
That's really cool to do that. Can't wait to see it !
Well it's about time fellas. The Bones Brigade transformed the lives of many of my friends in Tennessee through your videos and Ray Underhill. And when I moved to Ohio I was able to create a new band of skaters in Columbus by introducing the tricks and videos you all had a hand in inventing or documenting. Thanks for leading the way. Long live Animal Chin!! Gothrider- thats or you Tommy G.
Massive, can't wait.. had the pleaseure of touring on some UK dates with them....
This is awesome news! Stacy is such a fantastic filmmaker, and a documentary on the Bones Brigade can be nothing but friggin' amazing.
The group of people in that picture above influenced my life in such a way that I'll never be able to thank them enough. The Bones Brigade is beyond. Nothing has or will ever compare to their talent, originality,or influence in and outside skateboarding. The Dogtown and Hosoi and Gator movies were good but this I'm sure will be, by far, something to keep close to our hearts as skateboarders. I can't wait. Please email me constantly with updates and info.
This is going to be AWESOME!!..I started sk8ing in 88 and these guys were some of the biggest reasons!..I still watch the Bones Brigade videos!!
Please continue to move forward with the story of the Bones Brigade. I'm 38 and will always consider this group to be my inspiration to push myself to try new things when skating.
Also, the Bones Brigade films most likely helped me stay out of trouble because after watching, we'd get full of teenage adrenaline and hit the streets to shred....instead of partaking in more negative activities.Take care guys, and good luck!
They should interview George Powell and grill him on how much money he made over the years, especially during the boom times. Now THAT would be interesting! Hopefully Stacy will get my buddy Chuck Treece to do the soundtrack...
Rodney may have all of his teeth, but he doesn't have his CHESS BOARD re-issued yet... I think it's looong past due. C'mon Powell Peralta... Do we have to beg?
Wait... We shouldn't leave Tommy G. and Hawk out of this, so how about a Flame & Dagger and Hawk Skull Re-issue too?
awesome!!! I skated 2 caballeros and a lance mountain back from 87-90. so awesome, seeing this brings back great memories of skating all day with my friends.
You guys defined one of the biggest parts of my childhood. Some kids had baseball, football or basketball players to look up to... I had the Bones Brigade! You guys are genius for doing this and like Chet said right above... its been a long time coming. BTW... Stacy... if you read this... please start off the Documentary with smashing a TV with a sledgehammer and pulling a skateboard out of it... Powell Peralta fans appreciate that greatly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
brilliant
Esse é o verdadeiro espirito do skate!
Congratulation fron Venezuela the beat team skate.
The very best years of all my life,... really the good times. I have all videos (VHS) of Bones-Brigade and I wish get all in DVDs now... can you help me???
I can't wait to see it! Thanks Stacy, for getting this project going!
I hope that documentary come soon,...
The anticipation when each video was about to be release as a teenager was immense, this is going to be great.
Can't wait!!
I'll buy that for a dollar!!!
Looking forward to it.
This sounds extremely cool. For those who didn't skate during that amazing era, it should open some eyes. Best of luck with this Stacy.
Oh yeah!!!
Best be getting Steve Steadham in there, can't wait!
this will rock still remember see them at PIPELINE IN UPLAND, CA
HELL YES!!! method air and judo air and comb your hair!!!!!!!!!
It's about time they got all these guys back together for something like this. It will be a sweet documentary no doubt....I will surely watch it. Bones Brigade forever....long live the Ripper. Powell-Peralta rules.
Epic... Just seeing those images made my day. Guys, whatever you release I'll purchase, both ideas are great. I would also love a commentary addtion of Public Domain. (with all skaters above included). Everyone has a favorite Powell video, for me it's Public Domain hands down. Skating is unreal and I think it's Stacy's masterpiece...Visually there's never been another video like it.
Growing up, each of you guys were my heros. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!
Yabble Dabble!!!
Def time for this skate and destroy skate and create isn't skating great ha ha Seanfixesjohns.com
I can't wait to see this!!!!!
when i was 15 years old, me and my buddies watched the Search for animal chin over and over again and whe try to copy the tricks we saw on the movie. Obviously whe dindt get close to do them, but we try dam hard. good times everyone !! Greetings from Mexicali, Baja California Mexico.
Maps to the skater's homes!
About time, this was my crew growing up. Thank you guys for all the fun.
Amazing people, doing amazing things. The Bones Brigade is awesome - man I wish I was sitting at the table with this strong group of Leaders and entrepreneurs, wow. Would have been an awesome experience to participate in the conversation. Thank you gentlemen for a solid foundation in skateboarding.
Respectfully yours,
AMADO - Miami
Excellent, j'attend de voir ça
the o.g. bones brigade rules always has and always will cant wait to see it.
YES!!! My favorite sports team ever! Can't wait to see this!
SweeT!!! Love "Animal Chin"!
That is awesome! Wasn't Steve Steadham part of this group? I know he's still skating and i'm hoping he'll be included.
I will definitely buy this!
This is nuts how long will this take? About time
It's really good to see all these guys together. I hope they take time to remember Ray H in the movie.
It's really good to see all these guys together. I hope they take time to remember Ray in the movie.
The reason I started filming was becuase of this clan and stacey' direction. The vibe and feeling that your films put out still shapes my skateboarding and personal approach to filmaking today.
thanks for it all and DAMN im looking forward to the stories we'll hear from this one.
amazing
I love skateboarding without it it would be like bones b without you guys!ill never quit!i only wish i could do more for the industry.evry kid should have a skateboard and anyone could do it...i started paying forward in my own neighborhood by donating my old stuff to less fortunate kids.start small think big....sk8rdi!btw id give my last dollar to keep skateboarding alive bones-b 4life
it's about damn time...
Best news ever.
I'm sure this goes without saying but, please dedicate a section to Ray Underhill.
Can't wait. The godfathers of skating!!
I'm a Future Primitive...and I skate to live!
This is Great.... I think back to my childhood. Having crappy Nash skateboard ... Then saving all our money to get a Real Board. Tony Hawks graphite infused board. With the Bird skull. How hard it was to fit in as a skater I'm 80s. Then watching it Blow up years later... Now its a style. So widely accepted and embraced. This film NEEDS to be done. Show how you guys changed it all. Without you ... doubt skating would be what it is 2day.
Congrats to you all. What an amazing ride. Crazy how the Bones Brigade Video Show got this whole thing rolling. It was Powell Peralta videos that had by far the best video productions for sure. I know it was Steve Steadham that my board slide was copied from after seeing the Bones Brigade Video Show. The whole team, just amzing.
Well, good luck on the filming and SOYF! Ummmm? That's short for "Stay Off Your Face"..... Hahaaha! beats the hell out of "Brake a get"
HOLLYWOOD!
Skateboarding has come a long way because of those men. I'm thankful to have seen it and had them as my inspiration.
if it wasn't for these guys my youth would have been generic circa 1986
waooooooooooooooo!!! the old school!!!
Can't wait to see this.Should be awesome.
So Stoked
need any extraz
50 skater dude here
So Stoked
Tony I met you at the Las Vegas airport a few years back, yeah that was me the cool old dude
Later guys!
So Stoked!
This should be good.
Hello,
I am currently a film student and would love be one of your camera operators, I currently own a Canon T2i which I have been using for a while now. I have also shot on 16mm and 35mm film and now I am working on a 16mm project for school at Full Sail University. You can see some of my work on this website and please let me know what you think: http://www.vimeo.com/mperez135, You can reach me at mperez135@hotmail.com. thank you very much and have a good day.
-Matthew L. Perez
Hey George , any chance you can reissue all 6 decks in line with the documentry ....that would be cool.....
Since I wanted to see more video of the bones brigade , time have run so fast and it's like 20years ??? Wow !! I'd like to know when the movie will be viewable in Japan !!!
The Bones Brigade were my inspiration for taking all that s*it for being a sk8er back in the day. Some say it is so much better to be a sk8er these days now that it is "in". But sk8ing durring the days of the Brigade, hell it was like living with Jesus. I am so stoked right now! P.S. I am 34 I just built myself a 6ft mini and sk8 the mechanical dragon cab reissue...its a great time to be old school. Thanks for everything.......Yours truly Lewis Reid
POWELL PERALTA 4EVER !!!!
I'm sooooo STOKED!!! Way to go Bones Brigade!!!
I was 15 when I bought the first Bones Brigade VHS Tape. Now I'm 40 and I hope this project goes through so I can buy the DVD. Really though, this is a great idea! You could revisit some of the old places from the early videos. Even re-create the same tricks in the same spots from the 80's videos. Is Per still around? that guy had some rad tricks. Then again you all had sweet moves. Well, I hope it happens. If not for me then at least... "Do it for Johnny!!"
Holy #:": !!! THE BONES BRIGADE!!!! The re-search for animal chin!!!! Ho-ho's for all!!!! I love it!!!!
For all us old school skaters 40+ This will bring back some great memories of the past!
What about Mike V?
Looking forward to seeing this project's results!
Sounds sweet can't wait!
Will STEVE STEADHAM BE IN THIS DOCUMENTARY?
Please make this movie!By the way i'm 50 and still skating.
Yeah man, this is great...very long time coming! Can't wait!!
An instant classic!
"That's not a skateboard"
"Maps to the skater's homes"
"Lance Mountain's tearin it up"
The Bones Brigade came to the rinky-dink town of Erie PA and did a demo in 1991-2ish. It snows 8 months out of the year and there isn't much skatable concrete in this town. I spent a lot of time looking at pictures of West Coast skaters in magazines. This event made it so real and was one of the highlights of my entire high school experience. You guys rocked then and you rock now. I am pumped for the film!
..Just knowing these guys are still skating today stokes any old schooler just as much as it did twenty plus years ago...We still dream of doing some of the tricks we saw in those video's..and we realize how lucky we were to be part of skateboarding during that time (and we're lucky to be part of it still today!)
Awesome...I can't wait to check it out:)
My Spirit soars like a hawk to hear this.

This has a chance to be GREAT, as long as it has a heap of footage from the early years (1979 - 1989). Kinda turned to crap after that.
The O.G. Brigade was THE SHIT!
ABOUT BLOODY TIME STACY.
LONG LIVE THE KING OF SKATEING.
Awesome !! I've been waiting for this for years !
cant wait for this doco, sick
Very stoked to see this. Grew up skating in Ohio and idolizing the Bones Brigade. Now I live in Los Angeles and have actually had the honor to skate with McGill, Lance and Cab. Knowing what a great documentary filmmaker Stacy has become, a project like this will be epic awesomeness. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

IT IS ABOUT FREAKING TIME!!!!!!!!!!
These guys are legends and deserve this!
Love it!!!
Thank you.

One suggestion Bring back Jonnhy Rad and Animal Chin Later guys look fwd to seeing movie and book
Can't wait!!!
These guys were badass!!! Cannot wait to hear their stories. Met Rodney in NY in the 80's...very cool guy!
the best skateboarder of the universe ! thanks guys ! Powell Peralta for ever ! Ohhhh Yeah !
Respect from New Caledonia !
i have been waiting for this since dogtown and z boys came out! hopefully it will feature some of the non-original crew also.
this is what all skaters are going to be looking forward too!
i cant wait!!!
This may be one of the rare events when the facts may be expressed in the forms of a documentary and a coffee table book that captures the art and times of skateboarding through time. Will be very excited waiting on the completion of either or both of the aforementioned projects. Best of luck with all of your future ventures.
Cheers.
Simon Howell

Guerrero should just shut up, and have his board reissued. Powell should reissue it anyway and put, "FLAMMER" down the dagger. Dumb dumb.
unbelievably cooool. what a look back at a great time for many of us this will be
I grew up with you guys though not in the same place we are brothers. All of us have broken bones and laws and bled together.And have proved SKATING IS NOT A CRIME. Yes my body hurts every day but I still smile because I remember landing the tricks that caused those pains. Yes we are old warriors now but more important we were victorious! SK8 OR DIE
This great news guys! The Bones Brigade Video Show was the first(and still the best)skate video i ever watched. We would watch it all the time, then head off to Livingston Skatepark(where we seen the Brigade when they were on tour too) and try to learn some of the tricks.These were the guys we looked upto as kids, evryone of us wanted to be a Tony, a Mcgill, a Caballero or a Mountain(my personal favourite).
This is great i can't wait !! Great time in my life .I'm 38 years old now and I'm having the time of my life skating again the last 3 years regularly !! I can honestly say skateboarding saved my life . Nothing like rolling up to combi and skating with all my heros who are still ripping ,My friends included cuz we rip tooo!!
I had a Ollie Tank model back in the day.Hope Gelfand is in this flick. No one Ollied like Gelfand, knees in face.
You guys are a huge part of my childhood. Such great news, To this day i still watch the Bones Brigade Films. Takes me back and it feels great to remember go od times with friends. THANK YOU I had a 4 of Tony's Powell Peralta decks. Long Live the Ripper... Gotta Be in INTRO!!!!
yeah man i was only 13 at the time and had 2 go straight to livingston skatepark afer i had heard they were there awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
O skate já tinha suas raizes e seus seguidores, mas essa equipe de MÁGICOS divulgou o ESPORTE, e acelerou o coração de muitos garotos nos anos 80 como o meu, tenho 37 anos e senti toda essa adrenalina na época de conseguir ter un shape ou rodas POWELL acabei de comprar un shape CABALLERO DRAGON 2 para virar quadro .
POWELL PERALTA FOR EVER
esses caras forão a inspiração dos garotos na decada de 1980 no Brazil Powell Peralta sempre foi top en equipamentos e equipe tenho 37 anos e quando vejo os skates Powell entro numa maquina do tempo, esses caras da foto são os melhores.
POWELL PERALTA FOR EVER
the bones brigade videos were the sh*t in the 80ies! i've seen lace and cab at the championships in Münster in germany back then. looking forward to see that doccie ...
but there is one thing: you can make a documentary without a song of good old Jhonny Rad !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
please don't forget him! ;)
(whatever happened to him anyway???)
Brilliant
WHERE'S THE CATALYST HIMSELF??? RAY "BONES" RODRIGUEZ ALL-DAY!!!!
Siked!!!!! That generation of skateboarding is everything to me. I can still taste the air when a reminisce. ( taste like stinky knee pads) but still this is my generation. Can't wait to see the doc
De lujo!!! aun recuerdo cuando fueron a Mexico a dar uan exhibcion en Guadalajara!!! mi primera tabla fue una tony hawk, y por ahi aun tengo algunos (beta y otros VHS) de sus videos... esperando con ansia el estreno y ojala incluyan a Ray barbee y frankie hill.... Un abrazo!
If there are going to be bikini girls with skateboards, it'll be great!!
Great!
All the brazilian Skaters are wainting to watch .
A HUGE thanks to all of you for putting this film together! I was lucky enough to get to see the documentary at Sundance Film Festival this year and absolutely loved it. A truly amazing story and can't wait for it to be released for everyone else to see.
Blown away by the doc guys.. thank you all
