There are many great parts, but there can only be one that is the best. In my contention, that is Heath Kirchart’s Mind Field part.
Filming, skating and music all come together to create a multi-media masterpiece of skate art.
If you know one better, I’d like to watch it. Post a link for me...

I love how he airs over the lamppost in the background on both of the first tricks in that part
One of these would be my choice however. Probably the former

I remember I got the VHS watched it, then went to meet up at the spot with the boys are tried to explain what I watched. We all booked it back to my place and watched it. The session we had after the video was one of the funnest I can remember.
Penny in High Five was the same feeling, like what the hell did I just watch.

PJLWHL
Edit: Just watched again to be sure. Still PJLWHL
-
if "unexpected" is a heavy factor, then PJLWHL may be the one. PJ wasn't completely unheard of when it came out, but I don't think he was well known either. I was pretty obsessed with skateboarding at that time and only remember seeing a couple random tricks of his from a Tampa Am contest in 411 maybe? Add the fact that it was a Skateshop video and it's definitely a contender.
Best Video Part of all time is hard to nail down though when you consider ~30 years of video parts. It's like picking the GOAT skater.

you cant deny these 3 all brought street skating further at the time

I’d push back on that a little, actually. I’m guessing you and I are close in age, since I was around for Video Days, too. First of all, I have to say that is an awesome Gonz part, no doubt. I love it, too. But, I don’t personally believe the best part came from my era.
My point is... I started skating in 1987, but I think the best part of all-time didn’t drop until 2009. And I don’t think it’s been topped since. So, age doesn’t necessarily determine the answer to this question. At least, not for me.
I know my question is very subjective. But, I’m really digging seeing everyone’s opinions on this. So many killer clips to watch.

First thought was Ricky in EE3 but since that’s been mentioned I would like to throw this out there.

Somebody already posted Ricky in Underachievers, so I'll got with JT Welcome to Hell:

Mike Carroll - Modus Operandi

I agree with Arto and Reynolds linked above
-
prob one of the ones above but im throwing this one in there
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyQWZBQ4np4

The correct answer is Gonz or PJ. The pinnacle of creativity, technicality, variety, and making it all look fun.
-
Gino - Trilogy
Mariano -Mouse
Wray - Second Hand Smoke
Duffy - Questionable
Shane - Goes
Tiago - Press Play
Mike Mo - Fully Flared
Sanchez - Tim n Henry
Penny - hi Five
Dixon - Baker 3000
-
bobby burny in extremely sorry is up there as my mate said its like the superhero form of skateboarding
-
Bob Burnquist's Dreamland may not be the most relatable or make you want to go skate, but it is quite legendary
-
I don't like doing one but kind of by era's sort of
Hensley Hokus Pokus
Gonz Video Days
Duffy Questionable
Guy Mouse
Those were ground breaking
After that I like PJ and Jerry in Bag of Suck but I really think this is amazing. Mirror tricks so long ago ...and good ones . I feel like he was in some type of zone during this time :)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkMiGUbxDrg&ab_channel=DerringtonPerez

For me its a toss up between arto in sorry or wenning in photo
-
PJ in the Coliseum vid or Gonz in Video Days for me.
-
I agree with Arto and Reynolds linked above

Probably my alltime favorite part.
-
PJWHL definitely is special, especially if you came to it at a formative age as I did
It's remarkable watching now - PJ seems like a goofy skate-rat kid, far from the hermit he would become. He gestures at the camera man, makes funny little "woo" noises after a few tricks, skates everything not just ledges and gaps.
it's just so damn PURE in a way that many of the other classic ones in this thread aren't quite. I love his part in Really Sorry but it doesn't have quite the same wholesome appeal.
I also put that Pulp song on many mix cds in my day, especially for girls, and it always hits just right
-
After thinking about it a while the definitive answer has to be PLWHL. It is a perfect combination of showcasing his insane talent and personality at that time and how the two went together. It holds up incredibly well all these years later and it still constantly brought up more here and in conversations with friends than any other part I can think of.
Blew my mind as a young teen and blows my mind today, even after all the crazy shit people have done on skateboards in-between
-
Puleo watching Puleo is the greatest skate part of all time.
The video was uploaded on 5/29/20. Today is 9/25/20. Whut?
The length of the video is 10:29.
The video he is watching is his part from Static 2.
In the video part set to the Kinks Shangri-La, Ray Davies completes the opening of the song at 29 seconds where The song speeds up and Bobby’s skating kicks in.

There's no other part that has left an impression on me like Heath in Sight Unseen. For full effect you've gotta watch the full outro afterwards too.

All the PJWHL love in this thread is well deserved. I have to say a close second for me could be Reynolds’ Stay Gold part or Greco’s part in Baker 2G. Just had a great vibe and attitude...

It really is PJ.
I was gonna say Gonz in Video Days because it has transition skating and PJWHL does not but then I remembered the halfpipe clip. Despite not going over the coping, it’s still gnarly and counts. PJ’s part has it all.
Heath is gnarly and one of my favorites but his parts are also so angsty and self aware (also professional), whereas PJWHL is just pure skating. The viewer gets to witness a child discover their straight up magical abilities. If skateboarding is a toy (it is, and also much more) PJ was just fucking playing like nobody had before, and almost 20 years later it’s still bonkers. We all know Heath was not playing (also part of the reason why he’s so great).
360 flip three stair heelflip back 5-0 front 180 out is such a crispy line.

I’m partial to Darwin’s part in either Round 3 or Skate more. Can’t remember which one. Also all of Jarne’s parts have seemed more like artistic projects than full on skate parts so they stand out to me as well.
-
Extremely subjective, but it’s these two for me.
1. Cardiel, sight unseen.
https://youtu.be/Smo7vqZX0-A
2. Brian Lotti, now and later.
https://youtu.be/2NGm3Pm6DAk
-
Tons of great ones already listed. I'd put this forward. I'd consider it peak Carroll.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rClvsvINLU&ab_channel=TransworldSkateboarding
-
Some of these parts could have been so much better with different music, imo. I know some folks probably feel the same way about the Morrissey tune in my pick, but I’ve always had a soft spot for Moz.
PJ’s WHL part is sick based on his skating alone, but the Pulp song definitely elevated it.
-
Mike carroll is the most overrated skater ever its funnnnny
-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6T6SNMgcK4
This is my personal favorite for sure. However, if I consider the impact it had on pretty much every skateboarder I know, best part of all time has to be PJ Ladd's "Wonderful, Horrible, Life".

Mike carroll is the most overrated skater ever its funnnnny
In what way
-
Hes good really good but no where near best skate part ever. I mean its only personal preference, he skates pretty well tech and curb stuff has quick feet and a good style. But just not as good as people make it seem. I dont have to respect that man at all by todays standards even if his bis smith grinds look georgeus. I prefer every suciu part over his and its fuck modern crailtap for being kind of lame.
-
Sorta embarrassed somebody posted a cody mac part before guy in mouse was mentioned
Also kinda sick tho
-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBeFQLnr6Lw

hands down, my favorite part is Arto Saari in Sorry.

Thread was answered within the first few posts. Reynolds Stay Gold and PJWHL will always be my first answers
-

www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsEGLV28Jo0&t=1337
I'd say this or his Mindfield part are it for me. Probably my most watched parts, and they just hit me in a way no other parts do.
-
I’m having a really hard time thinking of my answer for this.
I have parts that are my favorite of all time but I wouldn’t necessarily consider the first ones that come to mind as the greatest part of all time.
Arto I’m sorry and PJ-WHL are def top contenders.
Guy - Mouse is one that came to my mind and I see a couple others have chosen that one.
Boss Stay Gold is another good pick from this thread.
Sorry I didn’t actually contribute anything. I’m still thinking.

No, I feel the same way. Some of my favorites, I wouldn’t consider to be anywhere near the best. I love Mike V’s Public Domain part. It’s not anywhere near the best. I just really dig the vibes and the flow. Gets me stoked to go skate every time.
-
I don't about the best of all time but this part is pretty much perfection in my opinion:

But this is actually my favourite part of all time. Everything is iconic. Classic Reynolds. Amazing editing and music

How many Pros do you think would be happy with a part similar to PJWHL trick by trick today? (Assuming PJ's part never existed)
It's not just that some of us grew up watching it at the right time, that part stood the test of time and I believe it would be a great part if it got released today. Almost 2 decades after it was filmed. Insane.

This is such a good analysis of this part. You’re right... trick for trick it stands the test of time and any current pro would be stoked to drop it today.
Though, I think the same could be said for Kirchart’s Mind Field part.
It appears there is a real consensus forming around PJLWHL. Didn’t see that coming, but it totally makes sense. That part deserves every bit of praise it’s getting in this thread.
-
^ I think it’s greatness also has to do with the fact that it was for a shop video by a relative unknown. Reynolds in Stay Gold is the exact opposite in that respect, a blockbuster production starring an established superstar. I love Andrews part but I guess PJ’s part catches more authentically what skateboarding is like for most skaters, while also being insanely advanced on the tricks. PJ squared the circle with this one.
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gx4PKwSfNY
Easily JJ's mindfield part.
Unpopular opinion, this lost footage youtube part of Jake Rupp is the best video part ever made.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSoTXkmC3Z4
Also, Mike Daher's a visual sound part.
-
I've got a lot of favorite video parts from Natas Streets On Fire to Public Domain Rubber Boys, Ban This Barbee, Ed in 1281 to Lotti in Now n Later to Stranger Skypager to Jason Adams Label Kills to Cardiel Sight Unseen to Drehobl Free Your Mind to Arto Sorry to Grant Mind Field etc. and a lot of them for different reasons.
But if I had to choose one that's the absolute best representation of skateboarding in film, it's Gonz in Video Days. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gizM-PuVnY0
Second I'd say Tent City as a whole.
-
The skating is flawless, the nostalgia factor, the music, the edit. Masterpiece.

I’d be hard-pressed to disagree.
Plus it pretty much ushered in/pioneered/created a whole new genre of skating, the single part videos.

Wow I feel like a fucking dumbass bc I left off Hsu bag of suck. I'm updating a bit after thinking
1. Arto sorry
2. Hsu Bag of Suck
3. Reynolds stay gold
4. Dylan
5 heath mindfield and pjwhl

That Burke part is nice, for sure.
With so many of these clips being from 10 and 20 years ago, it makes me wonder which parts from 2019-2020 we’ll still be talking about in another decade or two?
Who’s parts from today will be influencing the next generation of skateboarders?

This part gives me chills every time.

Yeah, great example of how song selection can really elevate an already great part. Conversely, I’ve seen a lot of song choices ruin what could’ve been a classic clip.
-
Nick Trapasso in Suffer the Joy is quite the perfect mix of skating, style, music selection, and he was kinda unknown. Does some tricks that to this day would be hard for anyone.
That one plus every single one that's already been listed.

its hard to put this one among all the other legends in this threads, but I enjoy watching it just as much as all the parts listed above. always stood out

Just too many to claim a best, I could give a few favorites probably.

Suciu is hands down my favorite skater, so I'm biased, but his 3 multi-song parts (Cross Continental, Search the Horizon, Verso), should all be in the conversation. I'm pretty sure he'll be adding a fourth part to that list soon because he seems to have gotten even better since Verso and he's been filming a ton.
