Here is a video of Tommy from 1985 to comemorate his new HUF deck dropping at True Love in limited quantities. This video came out around the same time that Gary "Green River Killer" Ridgeway was killing prostitutes. Ridgeway was convicted of killing 48 prostitues between 1982-1986 in major cities in California like San Fran and LA, and many more in Seattle. Though he confessed to killing 71. Gary was finally arrested in 2001 after DNA evidence linked him to the murders. Ridgeway was sentenced to serve 48 life sentences and an additional 480 years for tampering with evidence for each murder.
Tommy was 19 when he filmed this video and was a member of the Bones Brigade skate team that dominated in the 80's. He was well know for his "effortless" skating in his hometown of San Francisco, which was featured in most of the Brigade's videos. After sakting for Powell Peralta and the Bones Brigade Guerrero and Jim Thiebaud started the skate company Real which is still around to this day.
Now to the video of Tommy Gurrero shreddin in 85.
