H-Street’s first feature length skate video changed skateboarding not only with its content but also its form. Shackle Me Not is shot entirely with video cameras when skateboard videos were until then shot with film. Mike Ternasky and Tony Magnusson’s “living room” editing approach changed the rules of skate video production and ushered in an era where “anyone” could make a skate video. The skating is a mixture of vert, pool and street from a then unknown or just-coming-up group of skaters, many of who are now legendary, such as Danny Way, Ron Allen and Matt Hensley.

Here is a youtube video clip of the H Street Shackle Me Not Video

Danny Way is a shown here in this video clip of H Street Hokus Pokus. Danny must have been about 15 or so in this H-Street video clip. He has a huge bag of tricks over the spine here at the Carlsbad Skatepark and then he takes his tricks to the Vert Ramp. Danny Way is my hero and continues to take skateboarding up to the next level.
