Not even just parts but i feel like each of the listed videos in full were extremely influential
-
I'm sure people will mention video days and mouse and photosynthesis so I'll talk about some more direct contemporary stuff. Also I am downloading a videogame so I'll burn some time.
Mike Mo in Fully Flared - He's the first of the "I play hours of THPS and my mom carpools all my friends to the skatepark" type to make it big. Also it was pretty sick that he was really good at gaps, ledges, manuals, and flatground but couldn't skate rails or tranny, which made a potential robot oddly relatable.
Jake Johnson in Mindfield - Brought in the New York Renaissance of the late 00s and early 10s. East Coast used to be easy tricks hard obtacles, Jake was doing fucked tricks on fucked obstacles. People took wallrides to another level and got more creative with switch stance. Also he's the first east coast king that didn't have a wigger/gangsta phase.
Grant Taylor & Justin Brock in Debacle - Although people remember GT's part as being better I think both parts being back to back really changed how people skated. ATVs were around in the early 90s but Debacle was the first time you started seeing dudes skate street the same way they skated tranny. What was also overlooked was that these dudes were repping different Southeast scenes hard back when nobody was giving a fuck about them.
Lance Mountain in Extremely Sorry - This was the skate video equivalent of the old guy cooking dudes in basketball at the local YMCA. Pros over 35 weren't really taking video parts seriously until this one came out, just because its not cutting edge doesn't mean you can't produce something that people would get stoked on. Also seemed like old motherfuckers came out of nowhere at the skateparks so I blame him lol.
-
Danny Brady and Nick Jensen, In Lost and Found and Lucas in Bon Apetit: just look at these Lost and Founds influence on helping create one of the most popular scenes right now between Palace, Isle, Jacob Harris, etc. Bon Apetit and Lost and Found seemed to be the first Euro videos that got serious attention. Those two videos made euro-videos cool. Previously, it was about the Flip guys destroying Hunington when they came over, or American pros getting footage in Europe on 411. These videos defined where they were shot, London for Jensen and Brady, Lyon and other European cities for Lucas.
Dylan-Dylan: while it had a physical release, not only was it influential on future solo releases (Cross Continental, Austyn Unimited, etc), it also really ushered in the era of the online part, which is a gift and a curse.
Koston-Menikmati: That changed tech skating on rails even if the editing style never caught on.
Rob Dyrdek-Memory Screen: I don't know where a bunch of companies would be editing style wise if this edit was never made. It shaped Alien Workshops style, which has often been replicated.
Ricky Oyola- Eastern Exposure 3: This part defines the EE series, and has massively shaped the independent filmers and videos of the East Coast since (Static, Sabatoge, etc).
Pat Duffy- Questionable: Single handily changed rail skating.
Carroll-Questionable/Henry Sanchez-Pack of Lies: Both captured high-end tech ledge skating, primarily skating at the same spot (Justin Herman Plaza) with the same crew (EMB). That's carried over to the defining era of Love with Stevie/Kalis/Wenning, to Pulaski, to Pier-7, MACBA, etc.
Elissa Steamer- Welcome to Hell - Where would women's skating be without this part breaking the barrier? A woman on an all guys team in one of the heaviest videos of the time.
I'm not saying all of these are my favorite parts of all time (most are among them) but in regards to how they changed skating and the way it was presented.

I said it the other day but Dane Brady’s I Like it Here Inside my Mind part made me feel feelings I hadn’t felt since PJ in WHL. The exact same ‘the world has been turned upside down in front of you’ feeling. A lot of the shit in those parts shouldn’t be possible, but is.
Also, matter of fact, same about Tom Knox in Vase. Pappalardo in Mosaic also felt like that to a lesser degree to me.
Reynolds in Stay Gold. Gonz in Video Days and Real to Reel.
Rowley and Arto in Sorry are both insane front to back, specifically Rowley. It’s controversial, but I think that he shoulda had ender.
Heaths Sight Unseen part would be even more culturally significant it was edited to ‘Wish You Were Here.’
I can’t really argue against any of the parts mentioned.

Jerry's bag of suck part was pretty fucking unreal, and I haven't watched it recently, but I bet it holds up in 2020.
I completely agree about Koston's part in Menikmati. Dude was way ahead of his time in that part. However, I loved his Chomp on this Part. Casually killing it. Grinds to manuals. Parking lot manual marathon. Chompin hubbas, and flickin down double sets. No complys in a time they weren't that cool. It was like a precursor to "instagram" parts.
Mccrank's part in Menikmati had a pretty big influence on me too.
PJ's whl. Dude, that was like coming across some random instagram profile where the guy kills it more than most pros and you've never heard of him. That was unreal. I remember buying even more Accels after seeing his part.
Also, Sus has a pretty good point. Videos as a whole typically had more impact than just one part. However, most of the parts that have been stated are typically the best parts of those vids.

Totally agree on most everything said so far, especially when it comes to Ricky Oyola, PJ Ladd, Jake Johnson, Arto, Nick Jensen, Lucas Puig, Andrew Reynolds... fuck, there's a lot. Skateboarding is so cool when done right. I want to add that Jerry Hsu's Bag of Suck part manages to be one of the defining parts of his generation AND underrated at the same time.
A few that haven't been mentioned yet:
Mark Gonzales in Video Days - duh.
Mike Carroll in Questionable - a defining moment for tech skateboarding and plaza skateboarding. If we're talking EMB, Henry Sanchez's part in Pack of Lies is absolutely worth mentioning, as well.
Guy Mariano in Mouse - A perfect part from a perfect era. Kept the man relevant for a full decade after the fact.
Jamie Thomas in Welcome to Hell - he's had a lot of great video parts, but his influence in handrail skating can be traced back directly to this one.
Jason Dill in Photosynthesis - set the stage for what New York City skating would become. I would also include Popps and Wenning's parts in this video, a high point of the Love Park era.
You love to hate him, but Bobby Puleo's part in Static II was the blueprint for prototypical cellar door skating, and that style of skating popped off hard in the years following.
Torey Pudwill's Big Bang - Dylan set the stage for the single video part media takeover, but this was the first time Thrasher did it, setting the stage for SOTYs to come.
Mark Suciu's Cross-Continental - he really came out of nowhere to kick off an incredible career with this part.
The Alien Workshop montage in Cinematographer Project - The supernova explosion from one of the greatest brands in skateboarding history, capturing almost everyone at a peak.
Cyrus Bennett and Max Palmer in Paych - these dudes inadvertently caught both the "New York City" and "anything goes, skate how you want" waves that cherry brought about and wound up being just as influential on the way people skate, along with Johnny Wilson and the way people put together videos.
Tom Knox in Vase - speaking as an outsider, I feel like there was a real "before" and "after" in UK skateboarding after Tom Knox and Jacob Harris came on the scene. This part (and his Eleventh Hour part before) pushed UK skateboarding up a notch.

By 'pushed up a notch', do you mean given more exposure in the US?

Was gonna un-ironically post this. It is kinda important to note terrible parts as they shape what not to do or a direction to avoid.
Like Sheckler in True. He hyped a trick and didn’t commit, kinda out shined his own part.

While everybody was having their eyes on the US-american piss drunx skinny boys these guys put European tech skating on the map.
These boys proved that you didn't have to go to America to have a huge impact on skateboarding.
The video is a cornerstone of the emancipation of European skateboarding and Flo and Alex are having the best parts.

More exposure, but also a seemingly higher skill level (and I say this as a fan).

Going to give a limited scope response using TWS parts. I’m in my 30s and grew up in a rural area where skate videos could be harder to find. Transworld always came thru, and they were definitely culturally formative in a ton of different ways.
The Reason - Stevie Williams
Modus Operandi - Mike Carroll
Sight Unseen - Cardiel
Feedback - Dill & AVE
Sixth Sense - Kalis
Free your Mind - Dan Drehobl
A Time To Shine - Dylan
Honestly this list could just keep going, and the montages alone are worth talking about. You could go further and start listing the digital parts Transworld started putting out (Lucas & Hjalte come to mind)...
TWS was definitely the herb in the scene, but they sure as shit made some great videos that shaped skate culture.

Yea fugg me dude, totally stevie in the reason. That whole bitch was, mostly, filmed at love. One spot parts are fuckin sick. Thanks for the reminder!

You love to hate him, but Bobby Puleo's part in Static II was the blueprint for prototypical cellar door skating, and that style of skating popped off hard in the years following.
Static 2 in general had a huge cultural impact great than 1, 3 or 4. It introduce a lot of the less mainstream names (Welsh, Puleo, Oyola, Shier, the list goes on) to the general skateboarding audience that missed out on them after getting into skateboarding watching X-Games, CKY, or whatever was available on Limewire or IRC at the time. The subtitle "The Invisibles" is a fitting name.
Culturally important is different from nostalgic and great skate videos do not alter the landscape of skateboarding I would say Fully Flared is ranks up there in cultural significance as it revived the career of Guy Mariano, made multi-song parts the norm, made ledge dancing fashionable again, first 90 minute skate video and was the swansong of the OG Crailtap era (Carroll, Howard, Koston). That was Crailtap at it's peak.

baker 2g was a big influence on skate scenes everywhere. it felt like over night all the shops switched up inventory to cater to that LA cool rocker guy look (i.e. greco clones)
I think the lofi krooked vids really helped step away from the krew jeans era.
Also John Motta Happy Medium was a nice new flavor while things were bland.

Jerry's Bag of Suck is one of my favorite parts of all time. Forgot who it was on Enjoi (think it was Louie), who was like that part made us a legitimate company (an exaggeration, but a great comment).
I agree with the whole video part, especially when it comes to Menikmati. I felt Koston captured that point the best, but Arto, McCrank, and Koston changed what people thought was possible on rails, similar to how Duffy and Jamie Thomas took it bigger previously, Arto, McCrank and Koston took it tech on large rails. While very few think of Koston as a defining rail skater, in many ways, he redefined what people thought was possible on rails between Menikmati, Chocolate Tour, and Yeah Right.
-
I feel like I can't speak for "the culture" exactly but where I grew up 411 videos, especially prob starting from number 2, were far more influential than any board company releases at the time. The "tutorials" were fucking dogshit but there was a lot of quality footage and a lot of "skate culture" in it before I saw that in other videos. Carroll and them really did a nice job with nurturing that approach as they went along. For me nothing was influential like Mullen bits but as far as the culture where I was it was all those magazine comps, and even older shit, like we would watch Animal Chin every. fucking. day.

not a video part but I'm pretty sure we somewhat owe the last decade of skating to this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LV8dn3Uv48U
and the fact Sage and Sean wore converse + dickies religiously throughout Cherry did more for the brands in skating than pretty much any other pro before that. - Did dickies have a full skate team before that trend? 'yOunG cReatIVes' in design studios everywhere still rep high water dickies and converse to this day mostly due to that look they brought back in 2014. (in the uk dickies aren't/weren't as known/available as u.s.)

i would add
cheese and crackers . more love for minis afterwards.
bob burnquists mega ramp part seemed to have ended the mega ramp parts (bob&way).

This did something for the culture but maybe cky2k had more of an impact. kinda expanded skating.
Some stuff to think about I haven’t seen mentioned or is necessary to mention-
But Powell videos
Dressen Speed Freaks
Video days
Neil Blender
Questionable
I would say Dan Wolfe’s early videos
Real non-fiction
Early Alien Videos, Fred Gall timecode
Tom Penny—etnies? High five
411
Late 90’s transworld videos
Dill photosynthesis
Antihero videos
Arto was kinda the first Europea to come out of nowhere after Penny. Some of the most influential stuff didn’t come from full video parts because video parts weren’t actually cool to film for awhile in the 90s, still might not actually be cool.
Shortys fulfill- muska olson smolik
Gino-choco tour
Wasn’t long after that skating got too refined and videos weren’t very creative. Classic skateboarding like classic rock is maybe peak popsicle era.94’-03?

It's just a matter of popularity (which is a product of promotion and exposure) mixed with personal taste. This whole "culturally important" notion is a marketing scheme cooked up to sell magazines and DVDs (Books, CDs... whatever).

Nice list but you can tell from 2010-2019 in your list you're just thinking about yourself and not the skate world. A bunch of bullshit in there
-
One part I WISH was more influential is Heath Kirchart and Jeremy Klein's from THE END.
To this day I can't think of a bigger "FUCK YOU" to bullshit corporate America than skating on it's signage the way those two did (wearing suits made it even more poignant).
Homies in suits, late at night, setting shit on fire and skating faster than the devil himself... It seriously changed the way I saw the world.
If that mentality caught on maybe there'd be less corporate influence in skating today...but then again...$$$ is tempting.

I'd like to put Pops fully flared part. Since everyone watched fully flared since it was released, i think that part
acted in the skaters' subconscious, and helped shape the current form of east coast skateboarding.

Really divisive part at the time but I can see how it eventually birthed the East Coast revival starting in Mindfield (JJ, Dill, Dylan).

It did not. Fully Flared and Mind Field were barely released a year apart, so any sort of East Coast revival kicked off in Mind Field was mostly in full swing before Popps' part had a major impact. In fact, Popps' skating at the time (basic-ish tricks on cutty quick foot spots) is the exact opposite of what Jake Johnson was doing in his Loose Ends part before Fully Flared was released (bringing tech tricks to rough and gnarly east coast spots). Dill had lived in NYC for years before Fully Flared drop, so if anything, he inspired Popps' style of skating. Not really sure how Dylan factors into the equation here, other than he had a few NYC tricks in his Mind Field part.
The biggest impact of Popps' part was that it brought the "spot hunter" style of skateboarding to a larger audience via Fully Flared, which definitely influenced kids to look at spots like the Verizon Banks from a different perspective. It also served as a benchmark for the next stage of Strobeck (B&W mini-clip Strobeck), eventually leading to the cherry kids, and possibly served as an inspiration to them. If anything, I'd say the Charles Manson clip is just as significant as Popps' Fully Flared part, if not more so.

That's a fair point. I'm not from the states, so there's that. That's my view as an outsider. Pops also skated how he wanted to skate, which for me is what makes this part so Punk Rock and influencial. About the spot hunter thing, i totally agree with you.

I actually mostly agree with your original point! I just don't think it's as simple as saying "Popps is from NYC and people recognized this part, so everything in NYC afterwards was a reaction to this part." The East Coast revival was already underway when that part dropped.

Really divisive part at the time but I can see how it eventually birthed the East Coast revival starting in Mindfield (JJ, Dill, Dylan).
The biggest impact of Popps' part was that it brought the "spot hunter" style of skateboarding to a larger audience via Fully Flared, which definitely influenced kids to look at spots like the Verizon Banks from a different perspective. It also served as a benchmark for the next stage of Strobeck (B&W mini-clip Strobeck), eventually leading to the cherry kids, and possibly served as an inspiration to them. If anything, I'd say the Charles Manson clip is just as significant as Popps' Fully Flared part, if not more so.

Oh, for sure! That's why i said it helped. I'm a sucker for bad brains also so... that part resonates a lot for me and it's my favorite from fully flared.

For the evolution and development of the UK skate scene, I know Chris Pulman's Heroin 'Live from Antarctica' part played a huge significance for the majority of your favourite, current day skaters from London.

Easily the most influential part of all time, this is why I skate
Nbd’s for dayz. Why is he only wearing wristgaurds when he is skating in his garage?
-
PJLWHL for sure off the shock value alone
Wenning in Photosynthesis, but also Dill. Him having last part didnt make sense until years later.
Koston's ender in Yeah Right was huge
Reynolds and Spanky in This is Skateboarding had an entire generation dressing like pirates

Not gonna lie. Between me and a bunch of punks and skaters there's like 16 Falcon Squad tattoos lurking around the southeast. His movies are truly amazing in all the best ways.

Definitely ee3.

Good part.
Also got me into Morrissey so there's that too.

Gino - Yeah Right
Guy - Mouse.

That part was probably one of my favorite openers to a skate vid. Just love how it doesn't really fit in with the rest of the vid and divided a few people's opinions on his skating.

Mike Mo in Fully Flared had a huge impact on the skate scene in Alexandria Egypt.
There is a spot called "Mike Mo" in Alexandria only because it looks like the ledge spot he did his ender at.The music was great for that part too.
Anthony Papalardo's part in fully flared had an impact as well it was simple and so good. to me personally it made me feel like I can skate like that not just watching amazing skating that I know I'll never be able to do and Bad Brains music went so good with it.
Fred Gall in Inhabitants
Fred Gall's skating + Black Sabbath is the best combination
Ryan Sheckler in Almost Round Three to me personally it was one of my favorites when I was a kid. First time I watched it I was probably 12 or 13 and seeing a kid around that age skate so good hyped me up, all the others were adults I felt I related more to Sheckler's part as a kid.

Marc Johnson fully flared. Still amazing

Black Label Label Kills as it was one of the first videos to have weird pros
Yes, Ben Gilley looked like he barely knew how to skate and the dude was just going for it. maybe not largely influential to the skate world as a whole but it had me huckin beyond my skill set at the time.
Did Guy Mariano’s two song comeback part influence more skaters to get sober?
Half of Modus was filmed at night which seemed to spark a trend for a while
Not a fan personally, but the Supreme videos have had a lasting impact on how people film and edit nowadays
And although not a single part per se, but I feel like Kenny Reed had a lot of people traveling to less blown out locations to film more interesting video parts

The greenapple videos edited by Ryan McGuigan, for their influence on current videos, bronze.. etc
-
all of Brian Wenning's parts are for the culture

I have always found the end credits/b sides montages of skateboard videos to hold some real gems. Videos like questionable and love child for instance. Before social media the goofoff throwaway stuff thrown into the end credits was all you really got of a skaters personality and I guess really all you needed in retrospect.

I always come back to Modus - I love BA's part.

Posting the Cardiel Memory Screen because it should be considered as historical evidence of human greatness when advanced beings from a distant world come to study humans.

Also, World's Trilogy.
