In June 1988, Stacy Peralta and Craig Stecyk arrived at Wildberry Court in Edison, NJ, to film me for Bones Brigade Video Four: Public Domain. They carried samples of my first-ever Pro-Model skateboard, which I would be seeing, holding in my hands, and riding for the first time. For the next 2.5 days, we would film in New Jersey, New York, and Washington, DC. This video is the “uncut footage”— a collection of selects Peralta would later edit down. Not all of the footage is here; there are a few missing clips/spots, but for the most part, this is the raw footage that made up my Public Domain part. Enjoy!
