First video...

[Silent Bob.]

I saw some old Powell and Santa Cruz vids round a friends (who always got all the videos) - I still remember Rob & Natas's street skating video for some reason..!

First one I owned was G&S' stun.. It was all about Willy Santos and Markovich then!

I really started taking an interest around the time of Questionable and the early world videos - Lovechild etc

[Bipsmound]

First I saw was Eastern Exposure 3.  First I bought was Mouse.  Funny how you can tell exactly how old everyone is from this thread.

[Bad Mother Fucker]

fuck yeah, ee3 was my shit growing up!

I didn't skate at the time but I traded a friend my Nirvana Unplugged VHS for Useless Wooden Toys in 7th grade. Movie was already about 5 years old, but it was a good trade

ooh, that was a good one...    i always forget: which came first, 1281 or useless wooden toys?

Video days in a skateboard / bike / ski / snowboard / canoe shop.  This was when I was a kook and still shopped at stores like that, so it was probably in the mid to late 90s.  I don't remember what the first 'current' video I saw was.

First video I bought was Dying to Live, when I was 15, I was so stoked watching that in my hotel room at a hockey tournament.

[TotallyAwesome]

the first videos i ever saw were the first powell video and future primitive all in 1 sitting...but that was in 87-88 after public domain came out...which was when i started skating.  the 1st video that came after i was fully into skating was shackle me not.  i still have vhs copies of public domain and shackle me not.

those videos are totally awesome - although not as awesome as video days.

[bentmode]

i dont really know what skateboarding was until a couple years of skating thats when i bought anthology and was blown away and realized i was so far behind.

Menikmati

[gibson]

Some 9 by 12 video or something. I remember it was Canadian and we were all tripping over some black dudes 360 flips. There was also footy of this dude completely wrecking his ankle/leg at the end of it. But the first video I bought was Menikmati.

[Zurg]

gibson, that was exposure and that ankle/leg was probably the worst ive ever seen. First video i bought was 411 #39(?) it had the reese forbes ollie challenge in it. first video i saw was misled youth on a dub with welcome to hell. soon after i got anthology and me and my buddies started trying to buy all the other transworld vids, but couldnt find alot of them and gave up.

My second video experience, some dude made me a vhs with Trilogy, Mouse, 7 steps to heaven, jump off a building, and fulfill the dream on it.

 

I think I skipped school to watch all of it, and my mind was officially blown

[Brandon]

when i first found out that skate videos even existed, i was so fucking stoked.  i borrowed a few of my friend's 411s, some of the late 30s i think.  first video i got was toy machine's 'jump off a building' and thrasher's 'scorchin' summer', both for christmas of '99 or 2000, i can't remember.  i watched those things to death, i can remember almost every trick in both of them.
