Brian Lotti and The Malloys elevate the art of the skate video with 1st & Hope. It's got a custom Beck soundtrack for crissake. As for the skating, the video is less concerned about capturing the gnarliest trick, rather it focuses on...   expand review  the feeling of meeting your friends and skating around the big open metropolis of downtown LA. But instead of your half-ass crew, you're rolling with some of the scene's finest, hitting every obstacle in the way. The cinematic camera work is shot in a way that really makes you feel like you're there (awesome for us ex-skaters and dreamers). Skaters include: Eric Dressen, Brian Lotti, Kenny Anderson, Mike Carroll, Marc Johnson, Ray Barbee, Caswell Berry, Paul Rodriguez, Mark Appleyard, Joey Brezinski, Scott Johnston, Shiloh Greathouse, Matt Hensley, Tom Knox, Ocean Howell, and others. Bonus features include interviews. 40 minutes, recommended. -mgmnt

If you know the name Daewon Song, you know it stands for complete mastery of the skateboard. Street, rails, gaps, manuals, you name it, he's like top ninja of the trickwood. Add the ultimate hesher/tech skater Chris Haslan and a perfect miniramp,...   expand review  and your in for a visual treat different to all skate vids. Daewon and Haslan rip this miniramp with tricks that combine a hybrid of street and stunt skating unlike anything else out there. Grinds behind a curtain(like a surfer in a pipeline), inventive setups, insane choreographed tricks, and solo parts that'll make your jaw fall. In fact, some of the tricks are so mindblowing, multiple rewinds were definitely in order. Runs approx. 20-25 min. plus some great bonus footage which features solo runs, and friends like Cooper Wilt and Lewis Marnell. Highly recommended. -C'mish

Everyone knows Pharrell can't skate, but that doesn't mean dude doesn't have enough pull to go hire a team of skaters and send them touring around the world! East coast, West coast, Midwest, Japan, Spain - all ripping the hot street skate...   expand review  spots in fresh krispy BAPEsters. Honestly, I grew up skating looking up to Hawk & Jason Lee, so when I first saw this, I groaned. But after watching it, there's some serious ripping on here. Especially from that lil' gromit Jacob Walder. Keep an eye on that kid (reminds me of modern day Guy Mariano). Others skaters include Cato Williams, Jimmy Gorecki, Terry Kennedy and Kevin Booker. The entire DVD is filled to the brim with Pharrell and Neptunes beats, which I don't mind, but watch out for the occasional Pharrell soap box moment - yeeks! Special appearances by Nigo (BAPE), Chad Hugo, Teriyaki Boyz, Rob Dyrdek and more. Tons of tomfoolery involved. Approximately 75 minutes. -C'mish

If you're interested at all in skateboarding, pick this up now! It's a Clyde Singleton production damnit! I know I'm gettin' adamant, but I just browsed this DVD and it's all I can say. I'm frakkin' speechless. This is some of the...   expand review  rawest street skating I've seen in a while. Features the likes of Lamar Hemmings, Darrell Stanton, Kevin Taylor, Jeremy Holmes, Nyjah Huston, Kellen James and many more. Don't know most of these guys (I'm real old school like Santa Cruz) but I sure as hell do now. This video has more rails, gaps and stairs than you can shake a stick at and the tricks are completely sickening. As you can guess by the name and the KMD "Black Bastards" cover, this is the first "minority" DVD with hardly any white dudes on here. This shit rules hard. Google for the trailer and get your face melted. -C'mish

Have you ever made a shitty movie or skate video with your friends? It's low budget and the acting or skating sucks balls, but you have so much fun and you even get to score it with your favorite music, Scorsese style....   expand review  Basically this video is the best ever "bros just fucking around" video. It's got all the elements: bad filming, bad skating, credits that are longer than the video, and on and on. Threre is one crucial difference. Some of the skating in this is totally mind blowing. If you've been out of skating for a while, this is a must see. PJ Ladd's part is like skate gold. It's that raw shit you dream about, just some kid that's totally ill going for it with so much style. Ladd's done bigger and better tricks recently but nothing that has this kind of energy. If you're getting old and fat like me, this will make you cry for the days of just hanging out and skating, not worrying about bills, taxes and all that shit. I really can't stress how this video captures everything that's good about being young and skating and having fun. With parts from at-the-time soon-to-be pros PJ Ladd, Ryan Gallant and Jeremy Rodgers and stylish additional parts from their Boston crew, the skating is top notch, the music is great and Ladd hits with one of the best music choices for a part ever. I don't know, I just can't say enough how many times I've watched this and been totally entertained. When it came out it was in my DVD player for like 6 months and is still in constant rotation. A must own skate video, one of the best of the 00 decade. -Roctakon

It seems Element is finally done riding the Bam hype machine and is back to straight business with this new video. It's not like they went anywhere, they've become sort of NY Yankees of skate teams over the years. Nyjah Huston hits...   expand review  leadoff, and I only have two words for this skate prodigy: "little freak!" His part would have been the finale if you went on pure difficulty. My other favorites include Tosh Townend who destroys everything he skates, Tony Tave who probably does the most stylish flips ever, the very original Brent Atchley, and the sunglass-sporting Darrell Stanton (why do black skaters always have the best style?). As for filming style, this is one of the best executed videos yet. The filming is super-professional, utilizing interesting POV and multiple angles. The title screens throughout the video are pure class (floating type!), and the soundtrack features very complimentary downtempo beats. No gimmicks here, just solid skating. Other skaters featured include: Chad Muska, Chad Tim Tim, Brent Atchley, Mike Vallely, Bam Margera, Mike Barker, Jimmy Lannon, Levi Brown, Dallas Rockvam, and Collin Provost. Special appearances by Josh Rio, Michael Mackrodt, Soichiro Nakajima, Bas Janssen, Bucky Lasek, Chris Senn, Jeremy Wray, Ray Barbee, Vanessa Torres, Kevin Terpening and Lacey Baker. All region. 80 minutes. -the mgmnt
