The future of skate videos is the homemade DVD. Just as the internet has lowered the barrier to self publishing, cheap technology is making it easy for your average DIY skater to put together a video, burn it to DVD and offer it up for sale. One day, sooner or later, the next biggest, hottest, […]

Besides an awkward title, what you get with the new Conspiracy video Die… Skate or Die is just over a half an hour of no-frills skateboarding action from across the country. It’s fast paced, but thankfully does not suffer from nausea inducing short attention span hyper quick editing. Imagine if you spent a year or […]

Downhill Motion Greg Weaver and Spyder Wills There was a time when skateboards had steel or clay wheels. Both were hard and slippery. Then the urethane wheel was developed and first marketed to skateboarders by a guy named Frank Nasworthy as Cadillac Wheels. The new wheels provided a smooth ride with enough traction to allow […]

From Canada via Skull Skates, the new DVD Resist Control is not your typical skate video by any means. The company that once made asymmetrical regular and goofy-foot boards has no problem bucking the system and following their own path. Resist Control is a loose documentary of skateboarding from the 60’s to present day. And […]

Pool skating, what could be better, wait I know, nothing. Pools rule. There’s just a rad feeling that you get when skating something that wasn’t built to be skated. Well this video is all pool skating and it will get you stoked to grab your stick and go jump a fence. This isn’t another Chlorine-style […]

Lots of pool skating from our hessian friends at Concussion. If metal and agro skating are your thing then you can pick this up for $25 postage paid, including stickers. There’s some suspiciously punk sounding tracks in there as well. Pool skating figures heavily, but without the heavy canonizing that has been the trend in […]

Whatever you think of the murdering scumbag, the movie that deals with his downfall is pretty good. It’s almost a better chronicle of the time period in general as opposed to a strict documentary on Gator. Good footage and interviews. Jason Jesse provides essential comic relief a la Wentzl Rummel in Dog Town. Some more […]

If it was all I had to live for, I’d have to kill myself. I watched it at a friend’s house and was bored out of my skull. I planned on borrowing it to write a review, but life is too short. The fourth Santa Cruz video, 1990’s Reason for Living marks a departure from […]

Wheels of Fire (1986) Streets on Fire (1988) Speed Freaks (1989) Santa Cruz may not be relevant as a skateboard company anymore, but at one time they were up there with Vision and Powell Peralta. These re-released DVD’s are not strictly new, but have recently become available again after drying up in the distribution channel. […]
