Video Days

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 the best skate video ever made. Not because its clip after clip of kids jumping down handrails, not because its the gnarliest video ever made, but because of the music, the lines, and Mark Gonzales, and the fact that after you watch it, you will want to go out and cruise the streets, having fun like you should be. Because it is what skateboarding should be, a friends having fun as they forget about the world.

Besides that, Mark Gonzales- Best video part ever. Guy Mariano- Timeless style. Jason Lee- Art in Motion. Rudy Jonson and Jordan Richter- Excellent.

Watch this now.

Indeed, Video Days appears to be a low quality film, but I dare say look upon the high quality product. Directed by Spike Jonze as one of his first outfits, it portrays Jason Lee, the renowned actor, skate boarding with such greats of the industry as Guy Mariano, Mark Gonzales, and Rudy Johnson.

To conclude, there is only one message; this is one of the greatest skate boarding videos ever created, and nearly anyone who knows a thing about it salivates to hear that you have a copy (I know this to be truth). Also, Mothers against Drunk Driving sponsored it when, in fact, they all die at the end because of drunk driving (hate to spoil the ending).

Most skate videos made today can be boring to watch. Don't get me wrong, today's videos have plenty of awesome runs and tricks at high speeds. It just seems that everything is done for the camera. This video has some kids having a knarly time and making a classic video. The skating in this video is good and artistic. Anybody who wants to start skating must watch this video along with a list too long to go on with. I'd be doing a disservice it I didn't recommend Shakle Me Not, Ban This, Questionable, Streets of Fire, and bunch of others. Check them out on youtube.

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.
