The Knife - Heartbeats

The Knife – Heartbeats

Here’s a still from the music video for the 2003 track Heartbeats from the Swedish band The Knife. It’s got some vintage skateboarding footage, about 15 seconds or so looped repeatedly. Those kids in the striped shirts look kind of cool going downhill together. I thought they might be up to some editing trickery at first.

  1. I don’t really like this band, but the skating parts go pretty well with the “tuneskies”.

    That’s more like it! Some nice 60’s style cross-stepping. Can’t say I care for the birds much but those are some cool striped shirts.

  3. ….sounds like that band Whale.

  4. I had a vision of the kid dipping his head in the leaf wave keeping it in too long and hitting his head on the fire hydrant.

  5. hard to tell if that’s really vintage… the filming technique seems current. Regardless… cool vid.

    1. gotta be vintage. don’t think they’ve made those boards since 1982, and there damn sure aren’t kids around who ride like that these days

  6. is it the Hobie team?
