this has got me thinking about the amount of old skate footage people must stashed away on vhs in old boxes in their attics etc.
has anyone seen "rolling through the decades" ? basically its supposed to be a history of british skating through the 70s,80s,90s,but in reality its mostly about the scene in and around london,very biased,it gives the impression that this was all that was happening.whereas there was a thousand different scenes all going on all over the country.
back to the stashed videos-its just an idea,but i reckon a more realistic picture of british skating over the last 3 decades could be made,if say everyone on this site(if you've got any old film)or any old exskaters put their favourite piece of old footage onto disc/digital format and this was all put together in one film.as we're spread out all over the country this would give a great overview of the true(and not just london and the southbank)history of british skating from the vast majority who were there then and doing it.
just an idea...
