- Zaxxx, on 08/31/2008, -6/+93Good thing he wasn't successful in committing suicide, that would have sucked... I think he is hilarious.
- Remmiz, on 09/01/2008, -5/+78Why do skateboard videos use only fisheye lenses?
- mackycorp, on 09/01/2008, -4/+57He's so hot right now...
- inactive, on 08/31/2008, -5/+57Owen Wilson is awesome.
Live, Owen! LIVE!!!
Do not commit further attempts at ending your life!
Instead just do more movies with Ben Stiller. - OGKHAX, on 09/01/2008, -0/+48so that you can be closer while still keeping everything in frame. it looks a lot better than following a skateboarder from 15 feet long lense.
- louiebaur, on 08/31/2008, -1/+31Yea this was a pretty funny part when it came out a few years ago. Yea Right was probably the best selling skateboard videos of the year. The part with Frosten and Owen is pretty funny. No Owen did not pull the tricks but I like is reference to the ABD tricks at certain locations.
- Galadyn, on 08/31/2008, -11/+39Convenient how the camera pulled away directly before and after the trick. :)
- badwithcomputer, on 08/31/2008, -3/+29It would be awesome if this video was the deciding factor in your ongoing internal debate over whether Owen Wilson's failed suicide attempt was ultimately a good thing.
- inactive, on 09/01/2008, -2/+24You're making him consider suicide again.
- Alexf22, on 09/01/2008, -0/+21He needs to do ***** more movies with Vince, like mentioned b4, Ben Stiller..and his bro.
Throw in Will Ferrell and we got ourselves the second coming of Old School// Wedding Crashers.
I am sick and tired of all these horrible comedy movies like "College" and Tina Fey and her little blonde sidekick "girl's can be funny too" movies.
Man at least Tropic Thunder was good...hard to say but Tommy was FTW in that flick - SpeedStix, on 09/01/2008, -1/+16Makes stair sets and everything look much bigger too.
- alexforcefive, on 09/01/2008, -3/+17and also it looks badass
- camkerr, on 08/31/2008, -0/+13They talk about it here:
http://skateboarding.transworld.net/2003/9/16/behi ... - no_root_toe, on 09/01/2008, -1/+13Wow... time stamping with a relative figure. So I guess you saw this video last year?
- snareguy17, on 09/01/2008, -0/+11Wow, Owen Wilson is still pretty damned funny.
- joeyjoejoe99, on 09/01/2008, -1/+11Alex, dude, you're trying way, waaaay too hard
- OGKHAX, on 09/01/2008, -0/+9yeah it was koston.
- inactive, on 09/01/2008, -0/+9Sure he can't skate, but he still is doing what he does best...being funny.
- voomfoo, on 09/01/2008, -0/+7why dont u read some comments before you let your mouth go?
- KingGorilla, on 09/01/2008, -0/+7what a crappy plot
- knor, on 09/01/2008, -0/+7Dugg for being in one of the best skate videos to date
- Darkaged, on 09/01/2008, -0/+7Crappy?
OR ***** AWESOME - staystellar, on 09/01/2008, -1/+8because you get a longer sort of panoramic view of the skater. sometimes the skater is being filmed by someone else that is also skating near them. so, basically it is just easier to keep the skater in view the whole time.
- Alexf22, on 09/01/2008, -0/+6Oh yeah I loved Mean Girls...actually I loved it so much I watched the whole movie on mute, and popped a couple from that blonde chick that's also in Wedding crashers.
- hackiavelli, on 09/01/2008, -0/+6That probably has something to do with him starting out as a pro-skater.
- franksmith, on 09/01/2008, -1/+7Totally cool video... and Wilson rocks for sure... but I smell something very viral here.
- yeahright, on 09/01/2008, -0/+6Dude, it's Eric Koston. Calm down, it was a joke.
- burden555, on 09/01/2008, -0/+5Wow I did not expect that
- YoctoYotta, on 09/01/2008, -0/+5precisely, it's much simpler to keep a person in the shot when you are riding along with them if your filming double the stuff surrounding you.
- foxhound009, on 08/31/2008, -7/+12ow yeah.. you're on to something!
keep going detective detective.... - OGKHAX, on 09/01/2008, -1/+6you can also get more creative angles as well as distortion which makes it more interesting to watch.
- OGKHAX, on 09/01/2008, -0/+5yeah exactly. it's a lot easier to keep someone in frame when you are on a skateboard following them if your lens is going to show twice as much of whatever is around you.
- 9enisP, on 09/01/2008, -0/+5ooh yeah. And notice how everyone already knows that it was a joke, not a conspiracy.
- evaburrito, on 09/01/2008, -0/+4spike jonze, marry me
- tweedius, on 09/01/2008, -0/+3http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQHHNXmtwxo
This one is a little better (longer). - ritzcracker, on 09/01/2008, -1/+4http://digg.com/comedy/Owen_Wilson_Skateboarding_L ...
This is about the what, 1000th story that has been duped by this clown? Stop duping peoples crap just to get front page. It's not just me, I have seen at least half of his crap making front page were duped stories that were in upcomming at least minutes before. ***** you badwithcomputer. - ligyron, on 09/01/2008, -1/+4Was it actually Eric Kostons? Kind of looks like his build
- jseres, on 09/01/2008, -0/+3Best skate video ever. I love this video it never gets old. Not to mention the soundtrack is ***** amazing.
- cyrix, on 09/01/2008, -0/+3You should kill yourself.
- noots, on 09/01/2008, -1/+4he's better. Unlike Jason Lee, he isn't a scientologist.
- keeganzero, on 09/01/2008, -0/+3no it was Froston.
In the special features there is an ad for the movie with Owen and Eric standing next to each other dressed exactly the same.
Plus I've never seen the Gonz do a nose-blunt, in the last decade. - alexforcefive, on 09/01/2008, -0/+3Nah, I was thinking of yeah right! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSga4d5naNA
fully flared is awesome too though - inigomntoya, on 09/01/2008, -0/+3[searches for O RLY owl]
- plup, on 09/01/2008, -0/+3You are a viral video.. of *****.
- plup, on 09/01/2008, -0/+3I shall kill myself.
- GaryChalmers, on 09/01/2008, -1/+4They're break-dance fighting!
- dibbkd, on 09/01/2008, -0/+3Both of you are my friends and killed yourselves talking about a skate video.
- dibbkd, on 09/01/2008, -1/+4absolutely, it's not as hard to keep the skater dude in the video while you're next to him on your skateboard. everything is kewler lookin' too.
- takameyer, on 09/01/2008, -0/+3A friend of mine almost had me convinced that he was really doing these tricks...I quickly found the camera pull-aways and proved him wrong...great skate video
- tikal2k, on 09/01/2008, -0/+2This video is several years old.
