I haven’t been to Providence since Donny Barley moved to town and opened Fountain of Youth, the first skate shop in Providence since Lunasea closed in the mid-90s (I think that was the last one) but watching this video makes me want to move back to Rhode Island. You can just see that crisp Fall air in this footage.
In all honesty, its not terribly exciting, just a competently filmed bro-tage with a few highlights like Grandison Taber’s (sp?) over-all steez and the step-hop wallride, any Donny Barley footage, my homie from wayback (and Solstice skate shop proprietor) Jay Vasconcellos (looking a bit like this guy) with that chain ollie to manual and Kevin Lynch’s lipslide. But the real money is on this:
Yeah, you read that right. Eric Pupecki. Two clips at about the half-way point. Judging from the huge and fast wallride dude still has it. Can we get this guy on Chocolate and back on a skateboard-related payroll or what?
