Recycled Rubbish – Blockhead Skateboards – 1991
Don’t let the huge boards, small wheels, and big pants fool you. This is some sick skating at some pretty normal spots that you’d find anywhere. Ollie Norths and late Shuvs, need I say more?
Blockhead Skateboards was started out of the garage of Dave Bergthold in 1984. The company lasted about 10 years but went under after launching many a career. Blockhead Skateboards is up and running again out of Dave’s garage, so if you want any of the rereleased videos or decks head on over to their homepage.
Featured Skaters: Jason Dill, Rick Jaramillo, Laban Pheidias, Dan Rogers, Jeremy Wray, and Mark Wyndham.

LOVE these videos. I’ve been meaning to review the rereleases for a long time now. These videos were from a critical time in skateboarding, vert was clearly on the way out. One of the few vids from the era that stand the test of time and will appeal to bowl trolls and street rats alike. Oregon’s Jeff Taylor was a Blockhead rider that has a good segment in the first volume.
