In “The Moment Skateboarding Changed Forever | Pat Duffy “First In Flight”, Professional Skater & Host, Torey Pudwill introduces the audience to our show before we sit down with the man himself and get a glimpse into what was going through his head during those historical skate sessions over 30 years ago. Pat Duffy’s “Plan B Questionable” video part, set to a “Primus” song, is regarded as one of the single-most impactful street skateboarding parts to ever be released. He took common street tricks to humungous spots, opening doors and eyes while breaking down nearly every barrier. His “Questionable” video part changed skateboarding and shaped what skating would look like for years to come, inspiring a whole new genre and generation. Even Professional Skateboarders such as Jamie Thomas, Geoff Rowley, Chad Muska and Jeremy Wray and others could not believe their eyes! Looking back, the newer generation of pros such as Nyjah Huston and Jamie Foy credit their skating style to Pat Duffy. While notable pros Chris Cole, Paul Rodriguez, Ryan Decenzo, Stefan Janoski, Colin McKay and Tim O’Connor also give their praises. This video acknowledges Pat’s entire “Questionable” video part but really sets the focus on a few standout moves that blew minds: The Backside 50-50 on the bump to rail at San Pasqual, the insane 50-50 down the 20 rail, the double kink 50-50 in San Diego and the legendary 10 stair rail session. A major part of Pat’s story is also the story of skate filmmaking legend and Plan B Godfather, Mike Ternasky, who was Pat’s Filmer, mentor, friend and father figure at the time. Mike tragically passed away in a car accident years later but his influence would live on in not only Pat and the Plan B team, but skateboarding as a whole; shaping the way new age video parts were formed. We would like to give a HUGE thank you to filmmaker Jacob Rosenberg for assisting and supplying us with archival footage for this project, we could not have done it without him. Jacob was Mike’s second hand man and went on to carry on his legacy through iconic Plan B films. Plan B “Questionable” also starred: Danny Way, Mike Carroll, Rick Howard, Sean Sheffey, Matt Hensley, Colin McKay, Sal Barbier, Ryan Fabry and Rodney Mullen.
This video is dedicated to Mike Ternasky.

Skateboarding needed this channel.. especially us old guys with family’s and jobs now… brings back so many good memories

The golden era of skateboarding ... mid late 90s to early 2000s , now I'm old with kids going down memory lane with these videos
Oh my god. Who made this? This is the absolute most well made, most impactful, story about my brother I’ve ever seen. Congrats Pat, well deserved.
It was SO well made. Getting that respect from Foy, PRod, Nyjah was so cool, and the extra footage around the clips, so awesome.
I loved the Sheckler / kick flip story too. But obviously, Pat being my brother, this was just huge. So freakin cool.
Wow, thank you
Pat is so humble and charming. Sorry to hear about your father.
For all of the horrible bullshit the internet has brought, seeing this comment reminds me about how incredible it can be.
Bro Rips
Also check out the "Pat Duffy ON Video Skateboarding"
30 years later, and a back lip down a handrail in the rain while wearing a primus shirt would fit in so good into a modern 2024 skateboarding video
🤘🤘🤘
I remember being at Pacific Drive one day and Welcome to Hell-era Jamie Thomas was setting up a board while talking to Jeremy Wray on the phone telling him he'd grinded a rail one stair longer than Duffy. In my head I was like "but Duffy did that four years ago." That's how long it took for the next wave of pros to start catching up to the trail he had blazed. Questionable forever.
Hell ya
Pacific drive down by the beach in SD?
@@vincenthucknall7175 Exactly.
@FabledCity I live in Massachusetts but I used to vacation to san diego back in the day. Bought my first skateboard there, sk8mafia!
Well that's a hell of a story. All of those dudes showed us the way, but Duffy's part still doesn't make sense.
I hope the younger skaters watch this. It’s so important to understand where things come from and why. Duffy is one of the people that literally made it conceivable for skaters nowadays to go huge. It’s all owed to the OGs who we thankfully still have with us to tell the story.
💯🙏🤘
The way they did it playing "riders on the storm" over THAT lipslide,IN THE FUCKING RAIN,cultural perfection and made Mr Pat Duffy a skateboarding immortal,end of story.
So legendary
The filming for the kinked rail make was absolutely PERFECT.
💯💯
YES! Here's the SPOT, here's the SKATER, ready for the TRICK, fucker??
Pat Duffy's parts were incomprehensible at the time. He's the MF'n Man!
Yup!!!
What a great channel this is. The story-telling is wonderful.
Thank you very much!
100% truth. I was getting flowed by a few companies at the time and questioned if I should just quit after seeing Pat’s part
🙏🙏🙏
That is amazing 😂
You must of had skills I was never good enough to get flowed
And that's why Pat is your favorite skaters favorite skater.
💪💪💪
I was born in 91, so this was done when I was a literal infant. Knocking it out of the park again with this mini documentary, excellent historical skateboarding channel that encapsulates everything great about the sport.
Glad you enjoyed it
I was born in 90 the fact this was done over 30 years ago is crazy
Torey’s narration in front of the fireplace takes this another level🤣
Hahah!
I perfectly remember the first time I’ve seen Questionable, the level was just unbelievable at this time, I was so amped that I’ve shown it to most of my skate friends the next day, telling them how much the video was amazing ! Of course Pat Duffy’s part killed everyone, the 50/50 on the kinked rail was a real jaw dropping to any skateboarders back then. And the whole video was pure motivation, after watching it, the only thing you wanna do was to ride your board and pushing yours limits. There’s a before and after this video. Still have my og VHS tape. I’m 50 years old now, some health problems, never touched a sick level, but still love and practice Skateboarding, this is the best thing ever. Better than anything else I’ve tried. Skateboarding is a life celebration.
Hell ya
This is easily one of the best channels for skateboarding that's come out. I absolutely love hearing the stories behind the videos of my childhood/young adulthood. I could sit here and watch 10 more mini docs on different skaters snd stories.
Glad you like them!
@@storied_skateboarding glad you're making them! Don't know if it's just you or if you have a team helping, but this video as well as your others were awesome. Hope you keep at em.
Still one of the best video parts ever. Can't go wrong with Primus and Pat Duffy.
Hell ya
Not just the tricks but I always loved his style. He looked freaking sick doing it.
GOAT
Questionable was the first real skate video my parents bought for me other than the VHS tapes we would rent from the video store. When my friends and I watched this we all kind of knew we would never become pro's (We would say that we would be "average pros" after this video, like Phil Shao and Matt Pails lol). I still text my skate buddies from the 90's to this day and when we talk about our favorite videos we always say "Other than Questionable and Virtual Reality, what are your favorties?". I really do feel blessed to have been born when I was to experience this era, it was so amazing. Ineffable really
🙌🙌🙌
"Primus"!!!❤️🔥👊
Yup!
That video changed my life. The soundtrack alone was insane. Still skateboarding to this day. Yep im old. Thanks for posting this.
Hell ya
I randomly bumped into Pat in lower Manhattan one day. He wasn't skateboarding, just crossing the street and I said "oh shit Pat what's up!"
Just seeing him for a moment gave me the hugest skateboner. Fucking inspiration.
He is the GOAT
i've never teared up watching skateboarding before
Hell ya
Duffy is a absolute joy to my heart! It's so outside the boxes and pure.
🙌🙌🙌
Again, absolutely fantastic. The gnarliest thing to me about that back lip in the rain was his foot placement! Look at how far back his foot was before he ollied!!!! Absolutely insane! Now! If we wanna talk about handrails, Let's talk about Frankie Hill!
🙌🙌🙌
Frankie crawled so pat could fly
Frankie kick-flipped a roof gap on a board with barely any nose and that must have weighed half a ton. He deserves way more credit than he gets for pushing the envelope of street.
@@seanmckelvey6618 100 percent!
@@seanmckelvey6618 for real!
Was the time I finally gave respect to street skating. The rain, the doors, I was a local in Marin at the time. Pat Duffy was a big name of you skated and lived in Marin. Dude is humble and thats the best thing about him
Epic
I remember watching questionable for the first time. I was at my friend Brian's with John & rob. (All RIP). When the video was over we didn't even know what to say. It was our daily video before going out to skate. Thinking back about hokus pokus, soldier story, Frankie Hill then blind year after year the progression . Then came duffy as an am doing things we never thought of. The entire video as a whole changed skating. It was such an era
Hell ya
Thank you!!! I watched it as 12year old skater back in Poland that just 3 year was a free country again after being under Russia for 44 years.
🙌🙌🙌
damn bro 30 years from the Questionable and I love skateboarding more than ever thanks to this video and seen my heroes still skating really is fuel for my life thanks to god, the universe, the teletubbies or whoever makes the skateboarding possible..
🤝💪🙌🙏
Thank you.
This has stirred up so many memories and emotions and feelings. All over again, that I dont know if they ever would have been re-visited again.
Thank you.
Awesome, thank you!
New best show. been skating since 1985
Hell ya
Obviously, fuck yeah Duffy.
But this channel is what I’ve been searching for, for a long time. Giving the correct story, props and gravitas to the things that matter and have mattered in skateboarding- providing context and understanding for those growing up without it and those, like me, who are a little past it.
Made by greats too. Perfect. Thank you Storied!
Thank you!!!
Who are the people behind this channel?
@@autentyk5735 Chase, previously known as Chase Berrics lol. My brother and I are the main people behind it
@@storied_skateboarding Great job Chase, I've always loved your work! The hardest working man in filming! I love your work here too. It would be cool to give a shout out (or an Easter
Egg of sorts) to ON Video when revisiting some of the topics covered by them 20 years ago. Please, do an episode on Josh Stewart's vision of filming. It gave rise to a whole movement and even sprang to life a company like Magenta. Also, Jerry Hsu's monster part in Bag of Suck. The greatest achievement in skateboarding if you ask me. Keep up the good work and all the best!
That back lip in the rain in brain melting.
Yup
Although a beautiful moment in skateboarding, bummer that it was so tragic for vert. Props to Cab for being able to transition to street & look good doing it.
🙏
Not sure about that. He did do one or two crazy rails but cab wasn't on real street often. Not from my memory anyway.
@@tomf4087 Cab skated street. Check out his Bones Bearings Class Of 2000 part & his Thrasher Street Re-edit part...
I started skateboarding in the late 80's but I got into it really hard in the early 90s after watching Questionable on VHS. I thought Duffy and Mullen was normal... little did I know! The awesome thing about that tho is that I always knew ANYTHING was possible on a skateboard! Thanks to them!
🙌🙌🙌
His mini ramp skills where next level as well. All the blunt slides backside blunt slide 270 out was nuts. Was at all those Plan B premieres as a kid. Good memories.
So true
Good stuff! Pat not only changed the game. He had great style. It’s also nice to hear Torey talk without saying “dude” every other word.
Couldn't agree more
This gave me the chills, I miss these times.
🙌🙌🙌
Yeh man, Hensley.
Memoirs of a Sick One. Duffy
🤘🤘
Met Pat in SF was always a stoker . Insane skating
Sick
I’m so happy skateboarding has Pat Duffy!❤
Same!!
We wore out the Questionable vhs watching it on repeat. Even our friends that didn't skate loved to watch it.
Hell ya
I saw questionable the day it came out on vhs at my local shop. We were all in awe. We stayed in awe for months afterwards. But did I hear P Rod say most of Pats footage was from a sponsor me tape? Wow! That is craaazy! I never knew.
Yup! They re filmed a lot of it though we believe
I started stating in 1986, and had seen most of the videos of the era. When this came out all of us who skated in our town in Illinois north of Chicago, where like why don't we have any good spots to skate. We really didn't have any rails like in this part. We had one that went right into a busy street, that a rollerblader tried. Later I found a crazy rail in the mid 90's that was skate stopped at the community college.
Hell ya
I rarely comment on CZcams but thank you for making this. Pat’s comment “ people come up to me and tell me they remember where they were when they say his back lip slide in the rain” resonated as I remembered being a kid just starting out in skating and seeing that mind blowing part! What a rad dude. Please make more of these videos..
Hell ya 🤝
I’ll never forget that part and watching it with the crew I skated with. Pat Duffy rules!!
Hell ya 🤘
Thank You for this series
🤝🛹
I remember the first time I saw the RIDERS ON THE STORM clip backside down the handrail in the rain.
JAW DROPPING. I was like I’m seeing something that is so different.
Iconic
DBC..Daily Blessings Coming!! .. Thank You ALL for Skateboarding and Everything Everyday!! ... I Wish I would've Never got Discouraged when I was younger Skateboarding but I would see these Tricks and tell Myself, man I'll Never be able to do that, I'm Not that Good.... I WILL ALWAYS LOVE SKATEBOARDING First for the Rest of My LIFE and Hope/Pray I can Skate FOREVER!!
!!!
Pat is one of the best skater of all time.
When i see him in erly '90's i think that today nothing is been invencted.
Love and respect ❤❤❤
💯🙌
This was the probably the best thing I've ever seen about that part and I definitely remember where I was when it first came out, haha. Great job and of course stoked you made those signed boards. Got one in time some how.Thanks!
Thank you so much!!
PD is a real motherf**king G. Like everyone else, my mind was blown after watching Pat's part in Questionable. He changed the game for sure 👍👍🍻
💯🤘
I met Pat in 99 in SF, we skated together. I asked him what his mind set was during this part. He simply said. “That’s just what I was into” 🫡
Sickkk
Pat's section in the video had a huge impact on my life. Not just for the skating but also for introducing me to Primus for the first time. Pat was my favorite. Then Virtual Reality came out and guess what.... Still my favorite.
So sick
This was amazing to watch. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Absolute mammoth of a man, fuck yeah Pat!
💪💪💪
So Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Remember being blown away when it came out. So gnarly, skating and rain don't mix.
💪💪💪
For real, that’s how I hurt my knee
this gave me goosebumps, what a story, what a video
Thank you! 🙏
Love this. Patt's so rad!
He is the man!
True legend! It's incredible to see this after when On Video Skateboarding did a documentary on this. I just want to say honorable mention to Danny Way when he did a Backside Boardslide down the same double set rail Duffy did. Which was also featured in Plann B Questionable. Everyone in that video was way ahead of time, throwing it down. Rest in peace to Mike T. Thank you for releasing the benchmark of this legendary company.
🙌🙌🙌
More of this, so cool. Thanks guys🤘🤘
Our pleasure!
skate history is fascinating, Glad these events are given light, people seem to be forgetting about these, the questionable video here in YT barely has views
Thank you!
This is the best channel in skateboarding right now. Thank you.
Glad you think so!
An exceptional video and captured story. Thank you for making it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Questionable is forever legend, but my favorite of Pat’s tricks is his Ollie in SF Chinatown that he had as the ender in Subtleties. If back lipping a rail in the rain is one bookend, clearing a massive gap and landing on a manhole to roll away is another. No one else does that but Pat.
🙌🙌🙌
This was such an amazing piece. I’ve often wondered how much today’s skaters know about the past, and all the maniacs who broke down barriers twenty to thirty years ago . But this show is giving the answers and paying respect to the legends that I grew up with.
Seeing Pat Duffy back lip that handrail in the rain blew my mind more than anything in that era. Much love and respect to all the 90’s greats 🙏❤️
🙏🙌
That was awesome! What an absolute legend.👏🏽🙌🏼💯
Thank you! Agreed
I never quit skating, but when Pat’s part came out, I new I would never be a pro
Lol true
I was 17 and skated with future pros, watched this. It was the moment I realized that I would never be relevant to the sport. Thank God skating is so fun because I may have quit entirely. I am 50 now, and still skating at whatever level I can…the rain sequence was Gospel…it was a “Yes, And..” to walking on water…Pat was way ahead of the game
💪💪💪
Thank you for this amazing content.
Glad you enjoy it!
These videos are fantastic,
So stoked these exist now.
Thank you!!
First popsicle shape I owned Duffy slick, had a sax player graphic on it . I loved that deck
Sick
I absolutely love what this channel is doing
Thank you!
First time watching a skateboarding video and knowing I will never do that no matter how good I get. Next level elite athletic ability skateboarding. Every skateboarder was talking about Pat Duffy’s part🙌
🙌🙌🙌
Yep, it was awesome, but at the time nearly every video was awesome! We were lucky to grow up in the 80's!!
🤘🤘🤘
Dude this channel is so fkn good it’s crazy how many amizing things you are documenting
Wow, thank you!
Absolutely incredible; legend of legends!
Yes 💯
Videos like this are so important. I had no idea this happened. Thank you 🙏
You're so welcome!
I LOVE YOU PAT! Living Legend!!!
💯🛹
2024s version of epicly latered hahaha love it. Pat smashed the boundaries of skating and gave us all a spark. I'm so glad that from the zypher boys to vans pool party to very being born dying and rising out the ashes like a Phoenix. It is so crazy now. No chill what so ever. Thank skatan they needed sidewalk surfers back in the day. And God bless the skaters that re-invented the wheel and got it where it is today ❤
🙌🙌🙌
yup, this part changed everything, period.
🤝
Cool documentary. Patt Duffy a legend that needs to be known. Total awesomeness

Fantastic! If there are any more large moments that have great stories like this I want them ALL haha, so good!!
🙏🙏🙏
This is a great channel. I appreciate the work you put in.
I appreciate that!
True story.... I sat with Danny Way at Lockwood elementary for a DC demo back in 04 or 05 and we talked about the Questionable video and how epic Plan B was to me growing up ...we where both injured he blew his knee and I d been shot 6 times a year prior...so as bad as we wanted to sk8 it was impossible...I used to sk8 Lockwood every weekend in the 90s ...long story short he talked about getting Plan B back together and a few years later we got Plan B back... S/o to Plan B and D Way #Questionable
Epic
so much respect for pat duffy
Yup!!!
Incredible achievement.. cheers!
