I have my top 3 as:
Questionable
Hokus Pokus
Rubbish Heap

It's all preference, but I almost feel like saying "Video Days is the best video ever", is just the same as "I like punk, thus I like the Ramones/Sex Pistols" or  something generic and predictable at this point. You will get points from the older generation and seem like you have some knowledge of skate history (if you are a yung bucc).

Nah. Not even close. If there has to be a best video Video Days deserves that title. Everyone including Jordan ripped and the music  is perfect. It’s also the perfect length. Blind during this time was absolutely the coolest company out . Flip has never been that cool.

Oh give me a break lol. Not even close??  You’re tripping. Sure, for its time video days was great but best of all time no way. Skateboarding has come a long way since then. Sorry has much more replay value.

If I pop the sorry video in I’m hitting the fast forward button on every little skit, cartoon or that annoying  fucker they have talking throughout the video.
Way too much of that trash in that video for me to waste anytime watching it. Not to mention the Tom penny part was extremely disappointing at the time. Sorry.

When people think of Welcome to Hell they think Jamie Thomas big rails but there are so many good parts. Brian Anderson, Ed Templeton, Elissa Steamer, Mike Maldonado, Satva, Donny Barley, an excellent friends section.

Mouse is more of a one trick pony. Lots of ledge lines. Great vibe and songs though. Guy in Mouse beats anything in WTH though.

Tough call but I can see how WTH could edge Mouse out.

I like mouse and welcome
To hell quite a bit. I do remember that welcome to hell was the video that changed skateboarding more though at the time. Plus it was the first video that had a woman skater in it that was actually a ripper. Not a Jamie Thomas fan though. He seems really intense and I really wish muska was in it.

A lot of great East Coast plaza/ledge skating when so much of the industry was California Rail-Skating. As someone who grew up in a cold-weather city off a great lake, the spots they skated were much more relatable than Cali rails with perfect run-ups. There were obviously great east coast videos before that such as EE3, but it felt like the first major video from a big brand that was predominately East-Coast spots between Kalis, Dill, Pops, Wenning and most of the Habitat section.

i deffo prefer east coast skating, i guess i just really dislike early-2000s aesthetic of baggy clothes (especially white dudes), crooks everywhere, and run-of-the-mill trick selection. habitat section was solid, but the rest had choppy editing, and i highly disagree that it was cohesive (obviously, a matter of opinion).

this honestly seems more like a case of needing to exist in the context. i started skating in this era but missed this video, and i don't think most of the non-ledge skating holds up well, honestly. seems like maybe nostalgia's a big factor?

Interesting and engaging art direction. Well edited and sequenced. Tasteful use of super 8. Varied but well chosen music. Classic Dill ender. AVE. Young Pops and Wenning. Getz. Tim O' Connor. Danny Garcia nollie flip noseslide hubba and everything else he does. Kalis killing it at love, classic tre over the trash can. Street skating looking as good as ever.

Mouse has more forgettable parts than WTH and the skits are not as cute as they thought. Guy’s part might be better than anything in WTH though. Think WTH spawned more enduring pros. It’s tough but I give it to WTH
