Uh yeah. We’re not above reviewing old videos on VHS apparently. We’re also not above lifting the pictures of the VHS box off of Outlook Skates web site. There is a special edition DVD of Yeah Right! available, which I imagine is like the VHS, only special. So if you like the VHS copy, it’s […]

I had pretty much formulated my review already when Mark sent me his, so here are two reviews in one, because I am so vain that I think all my musings are incredibly entertaining and insightful and I would hate to deprive you the reader of any of them. – k.ed Newsflash! Duane Peters is […]

In the recent review of 70-71.com’s 2$ Pistol DVD I predicted that independently produced skate videos are going to be the wave of the future. Testing my theory are two more releases from Innovation Skateboards, Back in the Day Texas Style, and Skatefest Ingeside. Again, these are home produced and manufactured, meaning it’s a guy […]

OK, so now we’re reviewing 2 year old DVD’s? WTF? Somebody send us some DVDs! Right from the start of this I knew I was in trouble. It starts in black and white, with the Darkstar crew all trying to look menacing while smoke billows around them. Instead they just look like some extras from […]

Great graphics to start the DVD, accompanies by the rocking sounds of Journey. Actually, that was kind of refreshing compared to the regular lo-fi/trip-hop on most new skate videos. Typical skate video, in that each skater on the team gets their own part, so I’ll list it like that. There’s no story-line or anything, unless […]

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, […]

So, I got in on a free pass to the Lords of Dogtown a couple of days before the general release. Much has been said for and against this movie (it ain’t no film) and with the backlash that followed the original documentary, I’m sure most of you are already sick of hearing about this. […]

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 […]

Ok, if by some chance you’re reading this online and you aren’t aware of Concrete Disciples I’ll give you the low down. What Skull and Bones is for the collectors, Concrete Disciples is for the action crowd, essentially the definitive place on the web to learn about what’s happening as far as skateparks and skating […]
