This was one of my favourite skate vids(brands) from the mid 90's. I've been searching for my VHS PAL copy hi and lo, but when you move 3000kms then another 17000kms things tend to get misplaced. After a quick google search, someone has upped in onto them interwebs. Hooray!
I can't tell you how many times I've watched this video. Shorty's and Armando's part always stuck out(all of them had dope style for days) and the soundtrack is dope too. Always got me amped to skate.
The VHS rip audio on the youtube has some annoying white/pink noise to it, so I decided to recreate the audio mix myself. It's damn near spot on, I shortened some of the dead air bits that obviously you can't see while listening and added some of the soundtrack from the video as well to round it out.
This was a labour of love for myself, so if you don't get it, watch the vid's first then you'll be able to appreciate it a lil more.
Damn I would kill for any of my old clothing from Neighborhood/Especial/Stamina ATLETICO/MNC Tech right now.

A big thanks to all my peeps who came down and supported me at YOMAMA @ Catch Bar last Saturday.
Thank you all so much and glad everyone had a great time.
It was refreshing to be able to play Bmore to a crowd that actually gets it and to play some more of the cheesier stuff so I can get my "Sing Along With See Dub" on too.
Wow. Everyone needs to peep one of the best games of Skate. Ever.
Watch the vid first then scroll down to peep the trick rundown(which is mindblowing).
Couple of years back I saw Chris Cole throw a down BS 360 Kickflip over a massive gap at the Globe World Cup in Melbourne. The speed and cleaness of it all is something I can remember clear as day.
