THE SEARCH FOR ANIMAL CHIN is the most famous skate video in the history of skateboarding. Tony Hawk, Steve Caballero, Lance Mountain, Mike McGill and Tommy Guerrero search for the missing master, Animal Chin, who has gone underground because the sport is getting too commercial. Filmed at the peak of the Bones Brigade era in 1986/7 by Stacy Peralta, the original and still the premier skate video maker in the world. There are so many great spots and memorable moments in this video that top pros still quote the dialog from this video's funnier moments. If you are a skater, you have to have this video. How else will you know whether you've seen him or not?
