Strongest of the Strange – Pontus Alv – 2005
Strongest of the Strange from Pontus Alv, circa 2005. The video was filmed from 2002 to 2005, and is the handy work of Pontus Alv. This is one of my all-time favorite skate videos. It seems like they really put a lot of energy and time into the skating/filming/editing. Its not only long, but its filled with all kinds of terrain and styles of skateboarding. Various skits are thrown in throughout the video, which verge on the comedic art scene. Those of you that are afraid of seeing a penis should probably skip through the first section. We don’t want your fragile little brain to explode. More after the jump.
Some of the best parts of this video involve the Savanna Side Bowl in Malmo, Sweden. They have tried to build this thing up two times already. The second incarnation was called Steppe Side, which was just recently torn out. From what I understand, the land that the bowl was sitting on was unusable. The owner of the land was even OK with the skaters building the bowl there. I’m guessing it was city officials that decided to have it destroyed(twice).

My all time favourite skate video on all levels… penis and all…
true, this video rocks. it came free with some skate mags and it’s worth more than most full priced videos out there.
