BBAS055: Back To The Future with guests Per Welinder, Bob Schmelzer and Jerry Madrid
Description
Roads? For this episode of The Bones Brigade Audio Show, we don’t need roads. This week, the BBAS crew invite you to travel back in time to 1985 for the most complete and painstaking Back to the Future skateboarding retrospective ever assembled in one place! For many, this film- however unintentionally- marked the jumping off point, when skating entered the mainstream collective consciousness of legions of action-starved kids around the globe and helped kickstart the mid-80’s skate boom to follow. Joining us on our trip are three incredible guests: Jerry Madrid, owner of Madrid Skateboards, to discuss the origins of Marty McFly’s infamous Valterra/Madrid collaboration; Bob Schmelzer, Circle-A founder and pro freestyler who doubled for original BTTF leading man Eric Stoltz; and legendary Powell Peralta pro Per Welinder, who not only stepped into Michael J. Fox’s skate shoes for the refilming, but also managed to find himself sitting in a car careening toward the back of a famous manure truck for one of the movie’s most memorable scenes. We dig into the history, the filming, the stories, the culture, the graphics, and everything in between- so get that DeLorean up to 88 miles per hour and join us, shall you?
