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.

The Knife – Heartbeats music video
Anyone know where the footage came from?
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.
….sounds like that band Whale.
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.
hard to tell if that’s really vintage… the filming technique seems current. Regardless… cool vid.
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
is it the Hobie team?
team zephyr? that kid with long hair, stacey peralta? idk
I’m in no way an expert in skateboarding history, but.
Based on the pictures off of Hobart “Hobie” Alter’s hall of fame page on the “Skateboarding Heritage Foundation” website (attempting to link the page below), I believe it was filmed in the 60’s?
The boy second to the right of the last picture on that page, seems similar to the front kid in the video,even same shirt?
Good find. Looks like you sourced it.
