Heres some clips from the Legends event at this summers XGames. There was a good chunk of the og Bones Brigade and more including Stevie Cab, Christian Hosoi, Mike McGill, Chris Miller, Tony Hawk, Duane Peters, Ben Schroeder, Kevin Stab, Tony Magnussen, Lester Kasai and organizer Steve Steadham were all there. Staab still has some lofty ollies including a head high backside, Chris Miller smooth and stylish as ever, Schroeder gets the award for one of the hardest slams of the weekend fully commited, Peters took a few headers himself. I was watching it live more than shooting so camera work is marginal at times. Checkout a better version at www.rockthebaade.com/xgameslegends.html

duane peters
I like DP, but that was a dick move.
All these guys did all the hard work 20 yrs etc, to pave the way 4 the likes of the modern tech robots who ern $80,000 a week, if they stick to the A run.
@southernskateboys gator was one of the rock stars of skateboarding in the 80s. backl then skatersd truly were rock stars. not like today. but he murdered a girl. hes in prison. check out the dvd stoked the rise and fall of gator. he was good but he was no christiasn hosoi or tony hawk
@gow75: You can count Gator out!
Love how Peters drops in on Tony just to spite him. . . . . poor Tony
I met Gator at a contest back in 88 seemed like a cool guy, but if you kill someone you deserve what you get.
Wikipedia says he’s eligible for parole this year (2009). Maybe that’s a little to early for a Rape/Murder?
whos gator and what put him away?
A lot of the people there dson’t really know who each one is.
yeah, kinda weird. But notice how duane almost side swipes him in his first run.
Duane and Hawk at the same demo?
Great to see Duane Peters and Chris Miller with their unique styles and incredible smoothness. Duane is never afraid to slam then go for it again!
i hope we see some wicked moves at this year’s legends event on August 2. Tony Hawk and Steve Caballero should make it interesting at least.
yes we do want gator back!!!he was and is part of skateboarding history. I hope he does get out and thrash vert once more. street skating will soon be on the back burner and vert will be back on top. ive been skating since 87 and i do both street and ramp. without gator and all the old guys they wouldnt be skating like there is today remember that.
Yes,and always will be. We don’t wnt him back,thankyou very much!
isnt Gator still in jail?
oh ok. . . . my bad.
that was dp
7:37 Hosoi eats the worst shit ever!
I waited to see more but I guess he was done after that.
They need more Duane Peters!
The only one missing is Bill danforth, Monty Nolder, Lance Mountain, Mark Gator Rogowski, Craig Johnson, nikki guerro, eric nash, eddie elguera, neil blender, jason jesse, jeff kendall, steve schneer etc can go on and on so many legends though.
