Check out this cool commercial of Daewon Song on how to skateboard without shoes.  Well, actually, Daewon Song is sorta trying to “save” his skateboard shoes from losing its shinyness by not wearing it.  Kinda cool though how he can still pull off most of the tricks, I bet most pro boarders can’t do as well.

Here’s a video of Jason Lee when he was 14 years old, 3 years before turning pro, very interesting.

This rare video has Jason Lee with footage from around age 14 (Jason would turn pro 3 years later). Although the video is recorded as 1980, obviously it’s wrong since Lance Mountain’s deck was around 1984. Regardless, Jason Lee, at age 14 is doing tricks here that no pros were doing at that time. Radically ahead of his time with smooth kickflips when the flatground ollie itself was just invented, Jason shows that at age 14, he already had the style that made him the smoothest street skater ever. While the world was getting into invert circles from doing bonelesses for years, Jason already was proving that ollie tricks were the future. Now an actor, Jason is still credited with being the first to be street-tech with style and he is still the possessor of the greatest 360 flips. The end is Jason playing guitar in his hilarious singing style.

Here’s an interesting “life” video of Mike Vallely, who turned pro in 1987.

I turned pro on May 31, 1987 at a vert contest in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. This really pissed off my sponsor at the time, Powell Peralta as I entered and skated in that contest against their wishes. I was in their eyes a “street skater” and they didn’t want me doing anything to tarnish my image. Getting last place in my first professional competition on a vert ramp wasn’t exactly how they wanted me to start my pro career.

Here’s Erik Ellington doing some tight tricks. (and some early videos from childhood too.)

Check out his shoes at the SupraFootWear.com.

Excerpt on Erik from Wikipedia:

Erik Ellington (born August 9, 1977 in Anchorage, Alaska) is a professional skateboarder. Ellington is goofy footed. He currently resides in Hollywood, California.

Ellington was a member of the “Piss Drunx’ c. mid to late 1990s to 2000s with Jim Greco, Ali Boulala, Andrew Reynolds, Dustin Dollin.

He has appeared in videos such as Zero’s “The Thrill of It All”, & “Misled Youth”, Emerica’s “This Is Skateboarding,” & “Kids in Emerica” and “Baker 3 and Baker Has a Deathwish”.

In 2005, he started a new footwear company, Supra also co-owned by KR3W owner, along with Jim Greco, Tom Penny, Antwuan Dixon and Chad Muska. In 2006, his pro model shoe from Supra hit stores named “DOUBLE E”. The shoe’s design resembles his older shoe, “Ellington 1″ from previous sponsor, Emerica. The Ellington 1 was remade by Emerica as the “Vettes”.

Ellington co-founded a new eyewear company called Brigada with Jim Greco, Andrew Reynolds, and Terry Kennedy in 2007. They started the company without the help of any distributor and finance it with their own savings[1].

Ellington left Baker Skateboards in 2008 along with Jim Greco, and Antwuan Dixon to start Deathwish Skateboards, the sister company to Baker Skateboards.

Ellington is married to Lucianna. They have two children, Julius Luther Ellington, born September 17, 2005. and Mya Ellington, December 11, 2008.

Here’s a video of Andrew Reynolds.  He’s also selling some skateboarding apparel over here.

Andrew Reynolds, (born June 6, 1978 in Lakeland, Florida, U.S.), is a professional skateboarder. He has been skateboarding since the age of seven. He emerged onto the skateboarding scene in the early 1990s and won Thrasher magazine’s Skater of the Year award in 1998. He is nicknamed Drew, The Boss, and Waldo. His signature trick is the frontside flip. He has performed this trick down the Wilshire fifteen set in “Baker 2G,” the Wallenberg Set, the LOVE gap in the Emerica Video This is Skateboarding, over the Hollywood High School’s 16 stair rail and over a 17 stair set in Baker 3. He is also known to dominate skate spots with memorable tricks such as a Caballerial over the handrail in the beginning of his part in the Birdhouse video The End, and a 360 nollie down the Carlsbad Gap. One of his favorite places to skateboard is at La Canada High School.

Check out Steve Berra on the skateboard, check out his career history on Wikipedia too, very interesting.

In January of ’92, Tony Hawk moved him from Omaha, Nebraska and into his house in Fallbrook, California where they formed, along with Jeremy Klein and Willy Santos, Birdhouse Skateboards. A year later Steve left Birdhouse to ride for Television Skateboards, a company owned by Ed Templeton, Mike Vallely and business partner Dean Crystal.
