Does anyone know if the old school videos from the 80s and early 90s have been put on DVD and released anywhere? Bootlegs or official doesn't really matter much because most of the ones I had back then were copies anyway.

Looking for:

Santa Cruz- Wheels of Fire, Streets on Fire and Reason For Living
All Powell/Peralta- especially Public Domain and Animal Chin.
H-Street- Shackle Me Not, Hocus Pocus and This Is Not The New H-Street Video
Life- A Soldier's Story
World Industries- Rubbish Heap, New World Order and Love Child
Blind- Video Days
Gullwing- Inside Out and Full Power Trip
Vision- Holiday Havok and Barge At Will
Sims- Second Coming

      Wow. While this site doesn't sell the videos, it has a couple of cool things. I had forgotten about Gullwing's Molecules of Motion so I need to add that to my "To Get on DVD" list.

      Plus, the guy has an image of the 1988 Ohio Skateout contest in Dayton. I was there with some friends. It was our first big skate road trip. The only bad thing about it was it being held in like January or February- during the dead of winter- so we couldn't do much skating after seeing those guys rip. It seemed like every pro skater was there. Natas Kaupas got hurt during practice and didn't skate in the contest.

      I don't even remember who won(Tommy G, maybe), but I remember Gonz 180 ollied and 50/50 grinded down the wood handrail and Bill Danforth acid dropped off the huge pool-like corner section- must have been like 12 feet high. I actually had an original copy of that video back then, but it got borrowed so many times I lost track of it. I need to get ahold of it again even if it's not on DVD. One of the best things about the video is that the soundtrack has the best punk/skate music from the 80s- Black Flag, Dinosaur, Jr., Firehose, etc. It rocks.
