Who's the fag at the 2:30 mark?

Also, what intersection is that early in the film with the sidewalk curved and going downhill?

I used to live near WESSYNTON when I lived in Mt. Vernon back in the late 70's to early 90's. Damn, that was nice to see footage of the old stomping grounds. Unfortunately the Mt. Vernon area has gone down hill since then. Sad sight but it was great to see some old footage!!!

I was a very accomplished skateboarder during the 1980s. One day I decided to set foot on a 1970s era skateboard and I tried to ride it down a fairly steep hill. I nearly killed myself.

The downhill riding they are doing in the video is not easy.

Insane skaters from the past. Old school wood planks on narrow trucks with open bearing wheels bombing hills in the early days for first 2/3rd's of video. Few groms today would even attempt without slide gloves, pads and helmets. Ollies and kick-flips would come years later after this kick-ass video. SKATE FAST EVERY DAY!
