The Daggers in The Movie Thrashin' - Dave Duncan

I want to ask you because I don't want to breeze over this in the in the alpha years and everything but ration the ration came into the picture and daggers the daggers you know what was going on right there how did you even get it how did you get involved with that where we go to that oh go ahead just take you back to the to the 70s yeah when skateboarder magazine was going and then it turned into action now which was a weird deal because I had like like horseback riding is almost like X Games let's get a bunch it to go to survive there trigons keyboard survive mmm but most of the people were sponsors were skateboarders so no skateboarders so they didn't work my point was that's what the Thrasher came out now so I'm gonna mention thrash you before thrashing because what a great name Thrasher your punk rockers anything you're thrashing and you're skiing I guess tweed Peters hope told him to call it Thrasher okay which is a great thing an old skating destroy attitude and I remember going to a skate park San Diego and seeing this mag Thrasher oh there's a magazine again skateboarders got excited subscriptions gave a whole time my parents got a former Christmas I I mean you know I still have them all but Thrasher really changed the game yeah it's like you're reading about the Midwest and the East Coast and Texas and then that's why I read about Texas refusing will go there meet these guys and hanging they would come to Del Mar and skeet the park and John we die take them surf in and we all became buddies and yeah it really cool so in that same time 80s yeah Thrasher a thrashing so they came to Tony Alva they were making a movie about skaters supposed be like a West Side Story yeah like gangs you know New York mm-hm but it was supposed to be California where you got the ramp locals you know it's almost like the Powell guys whatever we're gonna ride the ramp and win the contest and the daggers are like the guys and the little venice punk house all graffiti on the walls and they didn't care they're just thrashing around like their lifestyle type thing more well your dancer she's not 85 if I'm 85 so it came out in 86 and I remember shooting some of the scenes I was in Venice scene we did the Chili Peppers they came to Del Mar a skateboard Omar was closed at the time mmm so for us to be able to skate the park every day was like wow with all these dudes that we got paid 40 bucks a day to be extras on the set okay and you see me in the back and a couple of these shots and so it was fun it was a really fun time and they hired Chien's a consultant yep so they had that kind of Alva 80s look you know with all the dreadlocks and adding the punk-rock delay they wanted to recreate a fast there's a team called the jacks which are out of Seattle and Canada that have those denim just like that that's like a biker game yeah and so it's called the Jack's Jas and they were the guy who drew Muntz key who drew that dagger because the gangs New York was supposed to be like knives and chains and yet that's what it did the dagger versus a gun you know so that's why the dagger was the name of the dagger so you know kind of street street violence yeah so he was art guy for alpha-2 time you know do an art I do graffiti stuff and whatever and that so he created so alva was an influence on on the movie that's what I did a lot in Venice and hmm I was running the Alpha team at the time no it was a roving team yeah no I was on the team but I wasn't team manager yet okay I came a couple years later but I remember going to Arkansas we flew flew to Dallas and we went to Arkansas for this first time the East Coast meets West Coast like Reese Simpson and morale Mitchell Manila yeah yeah and like buck Smith from Florida and in it a Texas guy so it's really cool everybody just raged and I remember the Texas guys already know Craig and Johnny from the Del Mar days they had a Vega or something creative Vega and then the back thing popped up with a keg in the trunk and Edwards like we're part apart cuz the pros were Sunday or Saturday okay horse game Saturday rage around and all of a sudden they go oh it's gonna rain tomorrow pros have to skate now and these guys oh great Johnson gets on and he makes the a cut I don't know which was a tough thing out of 40 dudes or some flies high drop test like an 8 foot in here flies off the ramp comes back in and right I mean you could not follow your run and make the cut but his skating was so wild and I don't know how he stayed on being drunk the time whatever and yeah guys the day before they went to these rock quarries and there's like a rock face where they did a rock they start off in rock the roll and you ride your board down this rock face into the what 20 foot into the water and they're just showing this while just having a wild time out there so on the way home I'd heard about this Kahuna vert ramp which Neal blender and John Lazaro had been going there seen you gotta go to Houston they have the best ramp in the world right now is a metal ramp ten-foot Chinese two feet of vert Wow all of our NSA reps were nine a half foot in half cuz frankoc want to make them all the same okay so I I was doing errors maybe a foot or two high at Del Mar at the time I go to Texas my errors are now like chest high I'm just it was so smooth and perfect tomorrow is kinky every wall was different and it was smaller to eight foot nine for trains this is 10 for chain so it just showed you the future of skating so I remember taking acid with those guys mushrooms like just having a wild wild Texas I stayed it and it Craig's house in Dallas is yesterday miles we wrote down with with Jeff Phillips and this is when I first met Todd Prince and Troy chastening can feel you know all these guys what should it be in Texas Legends you know the whole don't mess with Texas and Helmand day and all that you know so I don't know where I'm gonna some fashion when they were doing the downhill scene they were filming all that might I don't even care about that dudes get bitter because this is a chance I was a traveler anytime I get a free trip somewhere like no you don't own it always do the bonus okay a couple extra days or whatever mmm you know my snowboard chips I'm gonna do sort of I'm putting my ticket for two days after I can ride some powder ride ride this resort for freaks I know the marketing dude you know that's why I've always lived my life like to just get the early to build ramps and steal a you know right either tell the ramp down or just experience also I've always made the most of all my dreams like the Brazil ones yeah yeah so the thrashing thing that's like that but uh I remember when the movie came out man it was crazy go to the premiere and LA another one and that's right the sunset carwash thing yeah suicide was right across the street from the theater or some bank was there but that that's crazy the milk Martinez just yeah all that yeah that's a big part of schedule a totally stuff I like that kid Milt and we saw him one time in a it was a Latin x-games I think let's go on the whole thing but it was first time I seen Milt Martinez ooze days nollie big spans and crate just flow and stuff and I've had my eye on him that's probable ten years Wow now we did a San Francisco dude tour thing remember he all he did off this streetcar like whatever they did to start off and it was the downhill thing where you go over a car and I learned a gnarly downhill downhill San Francisco and Milton I think was on top three in that shot crazy thing yeah so Big Ups a villain I've always loved his style and his style he's the best to keep going year after year at that level not just be just a hand real guy to kinda do old or anything yeah uh I'm just amazed at what the new kids are doing and you know it's incredible is is incredible mind-blowing I love watching all this stuff I know where we're going no no buddy boy when the movie came out did you even realize what you were doing the movie and before it came out did you even realize how right you just were like oh we're doing this some [ __ ] and Queens a movie I mean it was like dude we go to Hollywood at the time I soy that's what I was friends with the soy we would go to Hollywood 21 yeah and he would get in at nightclubs and be like Oh his rocks they go line and we walked to the front of the club you know the door guy how many with you 10 15 come on in any guys are up in your own little zone like we were living like rock stars have a soy just just being him he was he was a Hollywood dude so to be in a movie mmm with it's like Chi like okay we're get a little taste of that you know and it was about skiing but we didn't know until actually came out how cool it was gonna be or whatever and at the time it kind of came and went cuz we were living so fast doing the regular life yeah thrash and whatever was kind of corny but you know whatever gleaming the cube came out you know new videos are coming out but I remember about 10 years later we went to Brazil and we had the this Alva dude was like he wanted this guy who wants the sign is all opposed to me and Eddie he goes you guys are daggers you're dead and I looked anyone we hadn't heard that word in like 10 years this is like 99 I think the mo you know early nineties so dagger says Eddie went home and got his dagger bored out at his mom's garage and started him and his Long Beach dude started doing this dagger thing that's how I kind of brought back so this is all through the 2000s to 20 years we've kind of just for fun brought back the little yeah yeah you had a whole you know company I still get people yeah they call me dagger David I'm just gonna for a while we put dagger our boards and dagger stickers right that's funny you didn't even realize it till ten years after yeah yeah well cuz it was you don't want to claim that or be part you know it says yeah yeah yeah actually the whole old-school thing was gone in the early 90s nobody care about Tony Hawk he didn't have a pramana until X Games in 95 right nobody gave it was it retired at one point yeah yeah so old school was nothing and then we were doing these things called the soul ball in Huntington which I designed this verbal I used to work with these guys in the Snowbird events and they said we want to do this event like which is now the US Open with advancements in life they go we want to do something at the beach for skateboarding and to me we had too many Street events or too many for events this is in the middle of the Haiti where it's all [ __ ] I'm like you should bring back a bowl let's do so we designed this vert Bowl thing and we're like let's bring back some legends like Steve Alba Dwayne Peters and Lance and they all came out this is the first time that we started what is now the Masters of Asian legend Tommy so it was probably five years before we did combi the combi events or whatever so mid 90s late 90s hums hmm so it's kind of cool how I mean those guys yeah they weren't making any my nose done like nobody care about all school staff I mean even the street guys like markavitch Chevy I kind of would like you know skateboarding moved on I don't know how if it slowed down and as it comes back they kind of reach back on that but I'm just so stoked now I guess with all the internet and that stuff there is a little nod to you know old school stuff you know like guys that could bridge the gap a lot of fathers are out there teach their kids or the skateboarding them yeah you know I still love doing Peters I need you to lay back like this and all cool kids are doing Bert's and yeah all this one's now and you know for a while that was not cool yeah so it's just crazy how it evolves you know it's amazing I mean you have to give a nod you know yeah hand plants nobody for long time data inverse and X came nobody did invert and now people are starting to do a little tuck me inverts and and Rick's a different thing you know whatever is that kid calling Graham it doesn't think call it colonoscopy on of you know box itself Arial eggplant okay names calling graphs are calling it calls it a colonoscopy eggplant you know so the kids are somehow making up there are new tricks just like on the street all these crazy combinations of laser flips and dolls of right the creativity keeps going right but even back then they were making up the tricks yeah no we I need all the evolution of all that right right really crazy but the stylish tricks on our backside tailslide
