  • Kicking It With... Eric Dressen. Spend the day with Dressen as he fires up a mini-ramp session with Jason "Wee-Man" Acuña, cruises through his old stomping grounds, and gets his spine back in alignment... got to pay to play kids.

    Dressen is the real deal - 40 years in & still a stoked Grom.
    That Speed Freaks part still gets regular rotation.
    Thanks dude.

    Dressen was my favorite skater when I was like 9 to 12 years old. There was an everslick ad in Thrasher in like 91ish where he was sliding over the tootsie roll curb gap and I thought it was the coolest ever. Now that I'm older seeing him rip still to this day is the coolest thing.

    I don't think the groms today know what kind of a beast Dressen was. Dude would ride fast with style. Dressen is sick

    @fireproofvb Před 4 lety +3

    Dressen is so fuckin mellow man. Absolute legend. I almost like seeing him skate more these days than when he was younger. You can feel the gratitude and joy he gets just from skating a mini ramp or bombing a childhood spot. Great vibes.

    Eric Dressen is skateboarding. Will always be my favorite. Who can say they've skated for everyone from Logan to Santa Cruz. Nobody. It's a great thing he made it out of the drug booze thing. As an older skater seeing dudes like Dressen makes me feel like a slouch, lol.

      Snap 45 and riding a roskop re issue gull-wing jay Adams and t bone wheels. Super smooth. I started in 85 an I must admit I was a complete h street head. But between speed freaks or bones brigade I always swayed towards the speed freaks ✌️

      Thanks E Dressen n Oj's
      I Once carved a spine
      out of a larch tree
      For a local chiropractor
      For a year of regular adjustments
      Spine nerve pinch can be
      relieved this way , osteopath is
      What's helped me through injuries
      Slams still hurt, bruises grazes
      Sprains it's a tolling game
      Still live for Grinds -Slides n PoP!

    Eric is one of the sickest to ever ride the plies. Back in his Alva and Dogtown years, he was one of my Heroes.

    • @marco77ar
      @marco77ar Před 3 lety +1

      Well technically he turned pro like at nine, in the late 70s..... didn't work out skating died, but once you're pro, even if it's for like a year or two, can u back to amateur??? He delivered pizzas on a gator board, until people started noticing him again... But dressen is a dogtown boy....( Maybe second gen.).... But he's been at it for a long time...
      Oh he got into the transworld skating HOF, for the FIRST part of the 80s, Mike McGill got second part of the 80s....
      Now if that's a fact....tell me am I lying?🙂👍✌️🤙🙂
      I just resaw he's speech... He skated for Alva, when he was 11 also....and it's the vans hof, not transworld skating.
