Tilt Mode! – Tilt Mode Army – 2000

Tilt Mode! from Tilt Mode Army, circa 2000. Tilt Mode Army is a group of skaters out of San Jose, California. The videos are the mastermind of Matt Eversole, Chris Avery and Jesse Erikson, with help from NC Clothing. The Tilt Mode videos seem to be more about having a good time with friends rather than landing a single trick after fifty tries, which makes the video stand out from all the others out there. A lot of companies now-a-days could learn a lesson from these guys.

Louie Barletta has always been one of those skaters that is pushing the envelope of new tricks. Even if he doesn’t land a trick, you can see he is at least trying something new, which just hasn’t been happening in more recent skate videos. Even if you aren’t into watching a ton of street skating I suggest you give this video a good watchin’.

Featured Skaters: Louie Barletta, Chris Black, Steve Caballero, Edward Devera, Jesse Erickson, Ricky Espinoza, Matt Eversole, Jerry Hsu, Joe Hutchison, Marc Johnson, Scott Morrison, Jose Rojo, Paul Sharpe, Doug Shoemaker, Aaron Vandenbulke, Chris Yamacoshi

    Pretty decent vid. Did these guys sell anything? I mean I know the name Tilt Mode Army, somehow it crept into my subconsciousness. But I don’t know if it’s a clothing company, or just a bunch of guys who made a video or what?
