Oral history interviews conducted by Michael Hays for the Street Survival II video. The interviews on disc 2 include: JIm Grey and Beau Brown. According to the donor, Michael Hays, "While finishing Street Survival, George (Leicthweis) and I started work on the script for Street Survival II. I devised an interview to pose to all the top pros we had time to connect with at the Bill Danforth's Heartland Classic Pro Contest, February 3, 1989. The Street Survival II video was never made so these oral interviews have never been heard by the general public. Street Survival is an instructional video that teaches viewers rudimentary information about the sport & lifestyle of skateboarding and skateboarding tricks. The second video was to build on the first, introducing new tricks but was never completed.
