Favorite Transworld part(s)

[FLstrange]

late 90's - early 2000's transworld videos were really the best, they make me nostalgic for the place skating was in as a whole at that time. now its sad when you compare their youtube channel's content to thrasher's, like most other magazines that put out videos they really didnt take the transition to the internet well. thrasher just really dominated all their competitors in that aspect. i blame cell phones and social media.

I always fuck up posting youtube links, but I always loved Dylan and Chad Tim Tim's parts from "A Time to Shine". Shit made me want to skate during my late high school/early college years.

I still have the page I tore out of a transworld mag with the sequence of Shane's wall drop in. He was so influential to the way skated (and dressed) in highschool. Wouldn't catch me in all that tie dye these days but he pulled it off. RIP Shane!

[DannyDee]

Sanchez in Sight Unseen, and Carroll in Modus would be my two favorites. Both Sight Unseen and Modus are amazing videos all around and I could pick pretty much any part from those. But, there is a bunch of other parts I love from those videos. I really liked Gallant's part in First Love, Alien Section in Cinematographer, Trapasso in And Now, Cromer in Outliers, Wes in Not Another Transworld Video, and Wu-Welsh in Free Your Mind.

i'm surprised the labels haven't come after these old TWS vids, no way they had the loot to have the rights to some of these songs.

i'll never forget watching feedback, the reason and modus for the first time in my dorm. lights out, blazed, practically rendered me to tears loving skating so much at that time. really nailed the zeitgeist of the times then.

First ones that come to mind are Sanch in Sight Unseen, Carroll in Modus, and Heath/Berra in Interface - back when Berra had respect. The fakie 50 down the rail was ahead of its time and Heath’s kicky back lip was insane for 1997.

Edit: and Stevie in The Reason.

He didn't have my respect at all cause he went in print shitting on Triology, used a good portion of his Transworld interview photos trying to parody the muska and wrote severely pompus articles for Transworld since his teens.  Also he was a bit robotic skate wise imo.

Interesting, I didn’t know any of that. Interface was the first video I ever saw. I always assumed he was respected back then because he was on birdhouse around the time The End came out. I thought all those dudes were top tier. I was probably just a stupid ass kid.

I still dig the fakie 50 though.

Edit: what did he say about trilogy?

Well by the time triology was coming out the 'fun movement' had started (1st wave of non technical skating since the 80s,round about 94-95)and Berra went in print saying that they all (triology dudes) were living in the past. Like I said he was Transworld writing staff for a year or two at that point was his ego was thru the roof.  Every one of his pieces struck me as bad.   Fun fact karreem knew the deal and called him a white asshole to his face.

wasn't that jovontae? 'white asshole!'
and steve berrics was like 'cool black guy' and tae tae went bo turner on steve's ass.
that's the way i remember it but kareem might've said the same as well.

I'd probably go with carrol or MJ in Motus but since those have been posted a lot already, I really loved this and it was the last thing Alien did before they shut down if I remember correctly.

[ineedthis]

I always loved Shiloh Greathouses part from first love, I like his intro where he says back in the day the didn’t just go to spots they used to just go skate the whole city.
It was also a comeback part for him, think he had been in the joint for a bit.
Can one of you homies post it, I’m on my phone.

I’d forgotten how fucking gnarley that part is

[sid vicious]

Trainwreck “in bloom” is still a stand up part in today’s standards

[Rasmus]

There's a fuckload of great videos from Transworld!

One I have always loved was Staba and B.A. in Modus. Staba was really great back then!

[Dooky-shoes]

One of my all time favorites. If I recall correctly it was one of the most expensive songs used in a video at the time.
Drehobl in Free Your Mind.

Cardiel/heath-sight unseen, carroll-modus and gall-in bloom but this is a masterpiece. Drehobl cruising and doing rad stuff to the perfect song. So good.
