meh.

If you're marginally tech-savy, you can just burn your own disc, if that's your thing.


And we don't have to waste plastic, paper, and whatever else goes in to making, packing, and distributing DVDs.

i despise the phrase "street part". what's next? bowl parts? alleyway parts? hill parts? grassride parts? night parts? day parts? i do agree though, that the person skating should be the one that actually makes the money as opposed to apple etc. i'm sure there will be some mix-up or arguments between pros and companies about this solo approach to videos somewhere down the road though.

"Our philosophy is that Berrics footage, inside our skatepark, should always be free. Street footage, however, should never be."

Get that money Berra.

He's such a douche for having the attitude like they are so forward in their thinking about the future of distributing skateboarding through the internet and doing away with physical copies. The fact is there is nothing new about this form of distributing media and it was only natural for all forms of media to move away from physical and go towards digital. I won't be surprised when skate videos start streaming on Netflix and Hulu (if they don't already?). Physical distribution of media is never going to go away completely but this was already the next step for everyone, inside and out of the skate industry.

Also, I like how he just doesn't admit that a street part should never be free because he's a money hungry piece of shit who can't cut it in skateboarding anymore without feeding off of other people's talent and plastic benches.

I miss bringing skate flicks over to a buds house before shredding.

Now we have to crowd around some stinky skateboarder and watch a web clip over his shoulder.

^Somehow, I doubt that. Steve can't let him take it all, he's still so poor from all his bills and lack of money 

On the topic of paying for videos, I'm fine with that. Paying for a single video part? Really? I hate how much Berra hits on how important it is that the skater never just release a part for free. I understand being rewarded for your efforts, but isn't that why pros get paid for what they do? It's part of the job description. If the part gets people hyped, they buy that dude's boards, and dude earns his money.


Actually, other sites release videos/parts for free because they aren't constantly trying to make money off their viewers. They're just trying to share quality skateboarding with the general public. Get your dick out of your mouth and stop thinking that everyone is trying to keep up with you.


They're so sacred that nobody should ever have a hard copy of them? That's the best part of owning skate videos... being able to hold them in your hands and put them in the vcr, dvd player, etc. Any time someone uses phrases like "that's the bottom line" or "the fact of the matter is" clearly shows they have nothing else to back up what they're saying and are declaring their opinion a fact.

Every time I hear or read something new about Berra it always involves him justifying charging people for everything. I'm sure it's a matter of time before you have to "donate" to the berrics to even have full access to the site. And like someone else said, I hate how he acts like he's so far ahead of people and being different.

paying for individual parts is bullshit. i dont know why anyone would pay for those. and i hate watching videos on my computer. i like being able to watch it on my TV or bring it to the park/buddies place to watch it before/during/after the sesh. unfortunately it seems like no one buys videos (on dvd) anymore. besides myself i can only think of 1 or 2 other people who still but videos. kind of lame, but whatever.

dylan released his part for free, and on disc at that. now look how many sales his shoes are pulling in, and how many more models he has at that, berra needs to learn, you dont skate and you dont have an opinion!

Berra you're a faggot, i will never buy anything from you/berrics. Online parts should be free, but im still down to buy dvds

i think you misunderstood the word "steve"

sarcasm. i have no idea how paying for a digital copy something makes it better than getting it for free

I wish The Berrics wasn't the platform in which the one person video parts were being released. Instead, it should be sold or become downloadable for free through the actual company's website in which the rider wants to release the part through. If pros/ams want to film a fucking video part, they need to get out in the streets and find some real shit to skate, not film tricks on so-called "street" obstacles in a skatepark.
