Underachievers: Eastern Exposure 3 Skateboard Video

"Ricky Oyola's part should be projected on loop at the Smithsonian. I've always defined street skating as the art of applying expression and personality to inanimate objects and architecture via skateboard. Nobody inspired me to look at the city differently as much as the East Coast giants did (Papallardo, Kalis, Stevie, Oyola). I was always the kid that enjoyed skating things on the way to the spot than skating the actual spot. I remember watching this as a kid just wanting to push as hard as I can soon as I stepped out of our building. Classic !! Thank you for uploading this !! Means a lot."

"This video saved me from riding super small wheels..thank you"

"one of the greatest skate vids every made,dan wolfe"

"This reminds me of skating to your favorite spots that are ten minutes apart but it takes you an hour because you keep finding random gaps, Manny pads, curbs and shit...and I can't be the only one who gets hyped when they see old Pancho footy. I didn't see how dope he was until he wasn't really doing it anymore and think went under for good. I wish they'd come back, that video thrasher put out with the think team skating SF spots was great. Was at least 8 years ago I think"

"Powell was not very popular at that time, but there is a such a cool vibe in this video. Plus I like that Powell always promoted ATV skateboarders, like Senn/Cardiel/Speyer in the early 90's, and Sarmiento or Itkonen in this one. And of course, Cab : what a legend."
