Video Days

...of your window. Classic lines by Jason Lee. Our skating buddy that made it to hollywood. This is one of the first skateboard video's that did not have 'only' punk music in it. Jackson 5, dinosaur jr, made it to the soundtrack. I don't have it anymore, classic from the early 90's. I give it a ten, just because it deserves a ten for the sake of skateboarding.

Alright Video Days is definitely the most influential skate video of all time and Gonz is neck and neck with Rodney as the most influential street skater of all time. Basically, a must see for anyone who skates or is interested in skating, while not my personal favorite, (Welcome to Hell kills everything) Video Days is sick as hell for sure. Check it out.

This is one of skateboarding's greatest videos ever! Directed by none other than Spike Jonze and starring some of skateboarding best it helped define street skating in the early 1990's. Everyone is this video helped push skateboarding to the next level, and all with amazing style. The video starts off with a young Guy Mariano skating to a great Jackson 5 track. Next up is Jordan Richter, I wonder what ever happened to this guy. I really liked some of his tricks on vert. The third part is one of the greatest ever, Mark Gonzales. Amazing lines, great style, huge tricks, and all to Coletrane! Rudy Johnson has a solid part with a Dinosaur Jr. cover of The Cures "just like heaven". The ender is Jason Lee. I am more of a fan of him in the Stereo video "A Visual Sound" but he still rips in this video, and has some awesome sideburns. If you skate and you have not seen this video you should really try to find it somewhere (it is an easter egg on the new blind DVD "what if") "I'll give you six-hundred tries, I'll be back next week"

This is the greatest thing to ever come out of the skateboading world(well.. besides the skateboard) Way back when people were still learning how to do a simple powerslide. . the BLIND crew was tearing stuff up while filming for this video. Brought to you by SPIKE JONZE. . this video features the skating of Guy Mariano, Jordan Richter, Mark Gonzales, Rudy Johnson, and of course..Jason Lee. The skating in this little diddy was so ahead of its time(and certain aspects of it still are). If you used to or are skating right now. .. it is a crime for you to keep this video from getting into your cerebrum cortex.

The skateboarding is sick in this piece of work. it slows down a bit for the half-pipe bits, but the rest makes up for it.

I hope that everyone notices that the camera is being held by another skater, who is going the same speed, and sometimes going backwards. that takes some guts - as if skaters in general dont have enough.

i'm personally not a skater, but if you are like me, and just love to see these guys beat the s*** out of their boards and get mad air, get this. (available on the net or Kazaa)

a bonus is that one of my fave actors, jason lee, is in it and has a few pieces where he just talks.
