- tm13lke, on 12/05/2008, -0/+25these videos always make me go skating again only to realize i'm terrible
- branndon, on 12/05/2008, -3/+20I much prefer that music to 99% of the crap in most skateboard videos I've seen.
- pradaaddict, on 12/05/2008, -0/+17it makes it look like the camera is closer to the skater than it is, lets you see the detail of the footwork, makes smaller rails/gaps look bigger.
its something skate vids have ben using for decades for a damn good reason. - Jkins019, on 12/05/2008, -3/+18Hate to say it but I was bored
- wiredclimber, on 12/05/2008, -0/+14Man, those were the days...
- heathurr07, on 12/05/2008, -0/+10i personally am a fan of the bee on a string.
- versualize, on 12/05/2008, -2/+9You had me at amateur...
- badwithcomputer, on 12/05/2008, -0/+6you lost me at "new hat, new whips"
skating looks solid though. thanks for sharing. - BlackSheep720, on 12/05/2008, -1/+6id say most aren't actually.
- badwithcomputer, on 12/05/2008, -1/+6i'm sure a lot of people won't be impressed by this, but anybody who just skateboarded casually as a teen and tried to make movies with their friends probably never put anything like this together. tricks aside, they also did some pretty solid editing to the music.
edit: the camerawork at 1:29 is also awesome. - Jeepinator, on 12/05/2008, -4/+9Def front page material.
- neckofjelly, on 12/05/2008, -1/+5That's called a montage. (Montage)
Even Rocky had a montage! (Montage) - deezeejoey, on 12/05/2008, -0/+3best part.
- ontheradio, on 12/05/2008, -1/+4dugg for using decent music. mamas and the papas baby.
- cardshark69, on 12/05/2008, -0/+3Yours is ***** compared to the one you are bagging
- vitaminz1990, on 12/05/2008, -1/+3Protective gear is for pussies like you
- choopie911, on 12/05/2008, -0/+2hah, I've done that. No longer though, I know I suck.
- joey101010, on 12/05/2008, -0/+2what do you mean what's wrong with it? if you mean the vignetting, it's due to them spacing it farther from the camera's lens so it is wider
- spectre_25gt, on 12/05/2008, -0/+2I don't think that word means what you think it means.
- tm13lke, on 12/05/2008, -0/+2http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrx49TOKyno
- tm13lke, on 12/05/2008, -0/+2i got annoyed with that video within the first 30 seconds
- DrOctagonapus, on 12/05/2008, -0/+2Some of those shots reminds me of "SKATE" :)
- thomas11126, on 12/05/2008, -1/+3You sir, are the type of person who wears hand protectors while rollerblading.
- iLEZ, on 12/05/2008, -0/+1Especially the bee-juice part.
- Jehutes, on 12/05/2008, -2/+3Pretty good camera work for an amateur vid. :)
Dugg - mcgridds, on 12/05/2008, -1/+2the music reminds me of the monterey pop festival
- quaxon, on 12/05/2008, -0/+1jeh...are you way fat? ive skated for over ten years and have only broken about 3 decks and all three were elements.
- DanBoodro, on 12/05/2008, -1/+2bee juices
- SergeantSavage, on 12/05/2008, -1/+2I went through a skateboarding phase, i sucked, I decided to stop after my jaw hit the pavement.
- 1nordy, on 12/05/2008, -0/+1not bad. but no, and neither were they
- Jehutes, on 12/05/2008, -0/+1I started again last summer. Got a new deck and cracked it the same day. $80 down the drain. I know I'll go back again next summer though but ffs that pissed me off.
- whywait, on 12/05/2008, -0/+1i really need to start skating again. hope my last board is still ridable.
- BlackSheep720, on 12/05/2008, -0/+1it also widens the field of view, letting you get closer to the skater while keeping his whole body in the picture.
- DanBoodro, on 12/05/2008, -0/+1I'd have to completely agree with you there, but I think my vid's song goes pretty well.

(i'm the one with the pumas, which turn out to be excellent skating shoes) - drexl, on 12/05/2008, -0/+1Hey man, your never to old (well maybe if your 80) to learn. It's all about having a good time.
- chunkbot, on 12/06/2008, -0/+1I'm pretty sure that's a felony.
- drexl, on 12/05/2008, -0/+1And that's why the word AMATEUR is in the ***** title.
- Inaktivist, on 12/05/2008, -0/+1You have just earned yourself an upmod. I love sarcasm, too.
- Valyn, on 12/05/2008, -0/+1My thoughts exactly. If they don't go pro skating, some could make a job of filming.
- SemperFly, on 12/05/2008, -0/+1What do you call a critic who walks out of a movie early but still judges it?
A moron.
There was a pretty sick 50/50 at the end. - rileyhallwood, on 12/05/2008, -0/+1youve got the right idea, but it makes you look like you're farther away than you are. if you see people filming skateboarding they are actually very very close.
for example: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rileyhallwood/2672886 ... - elscorcho8806, on 12/05/2008, -0/+1yeah, i'd have to agree with 1nordy, but your vid was better than that other *****.
- DanBoodro, on 12/05/2008, -0/+1lol, you obviously have no idea why we do what we do. it's not to be better than everyone else and it's not too make videos that'll make people's heads spin. skateboarding is about getting together with your friends and just having fun. same with any extreme sport. we had fun editing that video for 8 hours and I think it looks great.
- hookedonponics, on 12/05/2008, -0/+1there is no way you paid 80 dollars for a deck...? that's rubbish. 40 max haha
- drexl, on 12/05/2008, -0/+1I'm 34 and still skate when I get the chance. It's all about having fun anyway. There's no way in hell I would be trying to 360 flip a stair set, what with my advanced age and all....damned kids and their hippity hops, guitar heros, and Wiis....get off my lawn etc....
- eclipse6248, on 12/05/2008, -2/+2I hate skateboarding vids... Damn fisheye lens every time. Such a copout of actual decent shooting. Stop following from the side angle and get that thing on a set of sticks.
- hokeywebb22, on 12/05/2008, -1/+1Seeing videos like this always make me wish I had learned to skate. Then seeing a video of someone breaking their ankle on a jump make me happy that I didn't.
- inactive, on 12/05/2008, -1/+1nice dear :)
- seancanterbury, on 12/05/2008, -1/+1Damn i miss that
