|
|
I don't want to waste my money on a bad skate video so what is the best skateboard video or DVD I can get, with not much filler and heaps of good riding? Preferably one with Rodney Mullen in it but it doesn't matter too much. |

Opinion is great if you wanna see some sick Rodney footage. Opening trick is a 1-handed handstand fingerflip to rail. Standout sections also include Danny Gonzalez & Matt Mumford (although Matt's gets a bit repetitive).
The Rodney vs Daewon series are okay, the 1st is better than the 2nd. Opinion still blows doors on both. He's good in the first 3 Plan B videos as well, Second Hand Smoke being the best in my opinion. Still, get the Globe video, you won't be disappointed. |

I would have to agree with you Jester about Rodney Vs Daewon 1 being better than 2. Although I will say that I got a kick out of the intro to the sequel.
And you are my hero for mentioning Plan B's masterpiece Second Hand Smoke. I just bought a copy of the dvd and I'm as happy as a clam!
Hey, are clams actually happy anyways?!?! |

Hooray! I rank in Zara's book!
I love the intro to Rodney's sequence in Round 2 as well, but he has a sick freestyle bit in the 1st one too. I just think their sequences are repetitive in Round 2. Too many crooked grinds from Rodney & too many noseblunts from Daewon. Not that they aren't good tricks, but variety is important too.
I should probably pick up the Plan B DVD's, my tape won't last much longer. |

Ok, thanks guys. I'll probably get Opinion because it sounds like there's good skating from not just Rodney. |

Most skate videos average about 45 minutes or so. I find videos longer than that hard to watch all the way through unless the skating is absolutely unbelievable. The new DC video and Yeah Right! are both longer than an hour from what I hear. Chomp on This is an hour + and I can't watch it all the way through. Get the DVD if possible, then you can skip right to the segment you wanna see. |

Yeah, Chomp is the Atiba project. Basically they flipped roles & the skaters filmed a lotta the videographers skating. Some of it's good, most of it's crap. Good concept but the novelty wears out quickly. Koston, Beibel, Sanchez, McBride, & Thomas have standout parts. Actually, Atiba rips too, but most of the rest of the skating is kinda lame. |

Yeah, I wasn't too impressed by Chomp... I was just at the Canadian Premier of Darkstar's new vid Battalion... It was pretty good, but nothing too special... They definitely have a sick team though... |

Agree with fs04laoaksfny... Flip - Menikmati are good - you might want to check out Welcome to Hell, Shortys Fulfill the Dream (from back when the team was actually good and not all fags), and Girl's new one Yeah Right! |

second hand smoke is sick. Jeremy Wray's opening was jaw dropping when the video first came out. get Opinion, you won't be disapointed.
An all time classic is debbie does blockhead, sick skating for the time and the barbie porno at the end is classic _________________ http://www.integrity-wake.com

After watching Mullens section in Opinion its hard to watch the rest, he blows everyone away. Watch the bonus footage "Globe Ams", good advertisement for helmets. One thing though, the footage in THPS4 is from this video so you may have seen some of it already. |

Yeah also the THPS3 vids are off it to, but the whole section runs for about 6 minutes. But IMO alot of the skaters tend to repeat each other. _________________
