Tommy Guerrero Playlist
- Text by HUCK HQ
Tommy Guerrero carved a languid arc across the 1980s as the loose-legged skate rat who owned the hills of San Francisco. He made history in the Bones Brigade and is still pushing things as a company man with forever-legit Real Skateboards. Defying time is Tommy’s forte – especially in sound. His new album, No Mans Land, is a tumbleweed of trip-hop funk straight of a jazz-club taqueria.
Here are some diverse Tommy tapes from the archives.
Bones Brigade – The Search For Animal Chin
Legend Award – Transworld Skateboarding
No Mans Land – Tour Video
Real Skateboards – Non Fiction

The radical history of Paris b-boy culture is under threat
Break away — Born in the Bronx back in the ’70s, breakdancing later found a similar home in the banlieues of Paris, where marginalised communities adopted the style as a vessel for protest.
