Animal Chin

I was talking to Ed earlier today about old skate movies... the image under included with the title banner was a video capture from a home video of yours truely on a neighbors half-pipe. I skated right off the ramp moments later... anyway back to what I was talking about. So, I was telling Ed how I saw the Dogtown movie on the Independent FIlm Channel, and how that got my mid going about skating a few months ago. I also mentioned that I had a bunch of old videos at my parents house, packed up in a box I do believe. Included with these films are not only a bunch of bad homemade skate films featuring my friends, but my bootleg copy of, Powell Peralta's, Bones Brigade video, Search for Animal Chin.


This is the greatest skate movie ever made... the skating, for it's time was pretty damn good, but it was the cheesy acting and bad jokes that made it "kick ass".

"Maps to skaters homes, maps to skaters homes... Homes!"

Featured the music of Johnny Rad.... this is a must see for all skaters.



Sidebar, Ed sends me an e-mail about skating later which includes the line...

"never do a nose pick with a coper" and "now we're just like the dudes in 'Thrashin"...

Which I respond to with, meet me at the drainage ditch, with your boxing glove covered nunchaku... Ed has no idea what I am talking about...

HE NEVER SAW THRASHIN", I FEEL OLD.... Must find copy of Thrashin... this ain't your mommies "Gleaming the Cube"
