SKATE VIDEOS
SIMPLEWOOD FEATURE : SKATEBOARDING
This is a short article on some videos that must be seen, so if you ain't into videos then bog-off and read something else.





Blind - Video Days


Basically this was one of the first videos to start pushin the boundaries of street skating, double-sided curbs, launch ramps, everything. You should see this video so that you can realise your roots, you'll see skating in a whole different way afterwards, it's all about fun man!





Transworld - Anthology


This is basically a skate-u-mentary on all of the transworld videos from the first one in 1995 (Dreams of Children) up to the last one in 2000 (Modus Operandi) It has the best montages of any skate video i have ever seen, and you can see skateboarding as the art it really is. Some "parts" from Andrew Reynolds, Tom Penny, Heath Kirchart, Bob Burnquist, Chad Muska, Marc Johnson and a load of other people. It helps you see what goes into making a skate video and the effort that is needed. Basically, buy this video, go on, now, buy it, shoo!





Toy Machine - Welcome to Hell


Well.....what can I say, I mean....goddamn, okay. Well, you've got Mike Maldonado opening, it's awesome, a really stylish opener, the power that guy has is just wrong. Then you have a short but impressive part by Elisa Steamer, now, for all you haters, this is a sick part so y'all can shush. After that you've got a tour part which is awesome, some real fun stuff there. Then you have Savta Leung's part, which is super dope, his style is like, ultimate butter man, that'll keep you on the rewind. Then, I think, it's the friends section, this is one of the coolest friends sections I've seen, there's even a tom penny clip if you look real hard :) Then, after that, we get mister B.A. hiimself, Brian Anderson, skating to none other than Pink Floyd, check out his sledgehammer on the Hubba Ledge, then remember how old this video is, then get some kleenex to mop up your cum-stains.hehehe, the video goes on, we now have the pen-ultimate part, from the Tempster, it's awesome, i mean, it actually looks like he's having fun, and his steez are super cool, flares man!!
Okay, the final part, this is it. Jamie.M.Thomas, and Iron Maiden, these two should get married, this is seriously one of the best video parts ever, his opening line.....damn...seriously it's amazing, some of the stuff he does is amazing to this day.
The credits then commence...and then "BOOM" the slam section, fuuuuck!!!! It's nasty stuff man!!!


If you don't buy this video, you are a retard.

Yes, those are some good videos. Some more modern efforts deserve a mention tho. Mosaic, Chomp, Photosynthesis, Jus' foolin' and of course the video to "Girlfriend" by Billy Piper!
