Synopsis

From 1979 to 1983, skateboarding went through its first "dark age." Popularity declined, and most skaters left the sport. The first of the famous Bones Brigade videos by Powell Peralta then emerged, filmed at the beginning of the 1980s skateboard boom and intended to show new skaters what had been happening in the sport. *The Bones Brigade Video Show* is distinctly old school and undeniably influential. It features low-riding and sliding action, pink shirts, high shorts, and the top names in skateboarding at the time and even today. The soundtrack, filming, and overall presentation make it one of the best.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 11

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
