Vision sent Mark Gonzales out to New York in 1987 to film for their next promotional video. The footage would ultimately come out in ’89 but features some of the first street lines ever filmed (in ’87) along with possibly the first sizable handrail boardslide, 50-50, and front boardslides ever filmed (Sick Boys was released a year later with what is considered Julien Stranger’s first front board [possibly filmed in ’87 too). Much of the part was filmed by Jeremy Henderson of NYC lore on a massive Betamax camera Vision shipped to NYC for the production. I uploaded this clip in conjunction with a TWS Witness article with Gonz, Henderson, and Eli Gesner.
Started in 1976 by Brad Dorfman, Vision initially began as a skateboard brand, sponsoring the likes of Mark Gonzales, Mark 'Gator' Rogowski and Tom Groholski.
In the early 80's Vision sports released their first pro model skateboard for skater Mark 'Gator' Rogowski.
This was followed by a release of a pro model deck for skater Mark Gonzales, both designed by Los Angeles-based artist Andy Takakjian.
Gonzales went on to release a few more pro models with Vision before departing to form Blind Skateboards, (a play-on words with Vision) with World Industries.
Vision was also one of the first skate brands to connect with the subculture of music, releasing skate decks from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Beastie Boys and Agent Orange.
