This is one of my favorite Vert Skateboarding parts in the H Street Shackle Me Not Video. I was even able to grab a John Sonner deck for my collection a few years back.

Here is a video clip of John Sonner’s part in Shackle Me Not

H-street skateboards, founded in 1986, was the brain child of the late, great visionary Mike Ternansky and current Osiris proprietor Tony Magnusson. H-Street was named after a street in Chula Vista, California. It was on H-Street that several of the original team riders lived, in the “H-Street House”. The original H-Street team consist of Ron Allen, Jeremy Allyn, Dave Andrecht, Mike Carroll, Eddie “El Gato” Elguera, Richard Ezekiel, Art Godoy, Matt Hensley, Carl Hyndman, Ben Job, Darrin Kimura, Jeff Klindt, Tom Knox, Chris Livingston, Brian Lotti, Tony Magnusson, Ryan Monihan, David Nielsen, Steve Ortega, Jeff Pettite, Jason Richardson, Brennand Schoeffel, John Schultes, Ray Simmonds, John Sonner, Dave Sornson, Aaron Vincent and Danny Way.

H Street made some awesome videos, Shackle Me Not, Hokus Pokus and Summer Tour Video. They have been released on dvd now and H street is making some skateboard decks. Of course most of the original riders are on other teams now but the Tony Magnussen and Ron Allen Decks are available for sale.
