Public Domain Powell Peralta 1988, 64 minutes Current Rating: 4 out of 5 stars Powell Peralta brings us a clip-art movie gem with an offbeat circus introduction to skateboarding in the late 80’s. Public Domain brings the skateboarding world the 1st appearances of Ray Barbee, Danny Way, Frankie Hill, Bucky Lasek and Mike Vallely. Pull Grandma from her walker and duct tape her to the coffee table. Make some popcorn with a stick of butter and enjoy yourself for an hour. September 02, 2002 Though it may be a perfect slice of skateboarding from the 80's, Public Domain is still a little strange to watch. It’s almost as if Stacy and George tried a little too hard to make the video into more of an entertainment bit than a skate video. I like pretty much all the street parts, especially seeing Ray Barbee skate at such a young age. The video may be pretty raw compared to what we are used to seeing these days, especially music-wise and just overall style, but given that it was made in the 80's, it’s entertaining in a way that most skate videos aren't. EnjoiSkateboarding October 02, 2002 The Rubber Boys (Barbee, Saiz, Thomas, & Sanderson) were one of the most promising new teams of the day. The first thing that kills me about this video is the fag sporting a spandex uniform, floating his hanky around talking about graceful skateboarding. I fell off my cardboard makeshift couch onto the trailer floor giggling like a 12-year-old schoolgirl. After prying myself off the cat urine soaked carpet that had broken my fall, I was stoked to see Vallely in all his glory. And no I'm not talking full frontal, kids! I remember Frankie Hill as one of the sketchiest skaters I've ever seen in a video, but he lands all his shit. Go wonder. This is a must see movie and is another landmark for Powell. AntennaeJim
