Daewon Song's part from the 1992 skate video Love Child, uploaded in 2006. It includes his hardflip, one of the first filmed, as his ender.

Why skaters like it

Linked in hardflip threads as the early example of a horizontal hardflip, and as a snapshot of early 90s tech street skating with small wheels and baggy clothes.

They weren't **that** bad! Compare these shoes to what skaters were wearing in the early to mid '90s [VIDEO]. So baggy and impractical. Clothing that baggy actually restricts movement and it looks HORRIBLE. As a subscriber of /r/malefashionadvice, I actually like the direction that skateboarding fashion has taken. Compare the video I just linked to the remake Daewon did [VIDEO]. He looks a lot more comfortable.

[VIDEO] watch the last clip in this video. are you going to say that’s not a hard flip because it doesn’t go vertical?

Lol, how old? Daewon Song really tore shit up back in the day... Love Child 1992 [VIDEO] Also, you could always tell what year a skater's from by how small the wheels are & how baggy the clothes is. Miss those times.
