Skate Videos These Days...

Well, Nike just previewed their new video, "Nothing But The Truth," to Boston. What happened to skate videos actually showing skateboarding? I think skateboarding needs an influx of old school editing. The Nike video ran at almost 90 minutes, which is just absurd. Not only does a video that long have excess footage that shouldn't have made the edit, but "skits" in skate videos should be reserved for bonus DVD material. However, kudos to Nike for the free popcorn and new Lewis Marnell, Wieger (holy shit), P-Rod, and Gino footage!

Skateboarding is now at it's most popular, yet with this addition of corporate funds, skate videos seem to be taking a turn for the worse. Skate videos shouldn't need $50,000 funding - yes I'm aware that is probably a complete understatement for the budget Nike had. All you need a camera, your friends, and some good quality skateboarding. I hate to be the guy that complains, but the latest videos (with the exception of Listen's "Viajeros Locos") seem to disappoint.

Well after all that complaining, it's hard to post footage and expect a free pass from scrutiny. So if you have a comment about my clips, please leave them. I love critique, especially harsh ones (if they are valid).
