In the early 1990s, before social media took over, skateboarding culture expressed itself through magazines and VHS videos, especially from brands like Santa Cruz and Powell Peralta. These videos not only changed the skateboarding scene but also inspired creativity across the globe. In 1988 and 1989, H-Street, a new skateboard company, released two revolutionary videos, 'Shackle Me Not' and 'Hokus Pokus,' which completely transformed street skateboarding. These videos are iconic, known for their innovative skate sequences and unforgettable soundtracks. The soundtrack of 'Hokus Pokus' was unique, with demo cassettes, unsigned artists, and bands loosely related to the brand. Some songs were fun, some anthemic, and they captured the spirit of the time. Fast forward 35 years, H-Street, in partnership with Stereo Ronin Records from Paris, is releasing special edition vinyl soundtracks from these classic videos. This exclusive release features remastered tracks, including new versions and previously unreleased gems on vinyl, making it a must - have for skateboarding fans.
