Just like the title says; it’s Old School Skateboarding Slams from the northern Indianapolis area, circa ’87-90. Nothing in it stands out as spectacular, but taken as a whole it’s got a big warm, fuzzy vibe. My favorite slam starts at the 1:35 mark. It’s way off in the background and doesn’t make a good screen capture, so I went with my second favorite slam that happens immediately after. GVK said he felt like he could have been at any one of these sessions. Watch the whole thing after the jump.

I wish I had some of the shit we shot back in the 80’s. In one video I went to stinkbug boardslide on a homemade curb going as fast as I could. I didn’t see the nails sticking out of the coping and man did that full speed stickbug slam look funny.

That was great and no horrendous injuries.

This reminds me of Old Man Session at DOS.
