Still a sick video mang.
-
That Reynolds part is still a tear jerker for sure
-
Reynolds, Heath, Westgate, Hsu, Herman, Leo, and Suski all had fantastic parts. The rest of the video... not so much.
-
This video will always be in my top 5

This video is literal Gold & the B-Sides really changed skateboarding on the internet

the end of an era probably the best way to close out the 2000s
-
leo romero could drop his part today and still get soty his last 5 tricks or whatever on that double kink rail are burned into my brain
-
Got all the boyz together and premiered this video at the house when it came out, super good times. I miss full length videos and actually waiting for the hard copy to come in. Certainly the end of an era. I think I shed a few tears and some pee came out during Reynolds part
-
Still good. Reynolds part is incredible, so is Jerry's, Herman's. Marquis Preston too.
-
Westgate and Reynolds have amazing parts, always worth a rewatch. Sometimes I will check out Figgy's part...everything else gets a hard pass.
Whats hurts Stay Gold for me is a video that long can really suffer from such overlap in skate styles. Not to mention Radio Television presents a much better version of that stoner rock hesh bro vibe.
And the dudes who do have a different style than the rest of the team (Suski, Spanky, Hsu) all drop their lamest parts.
But them Spanky and Reynolds B-sides definitely hit the spot.
Edit: Forgot about Herman's part, that was dope too.
-
I like it.
-
Brink hooked it up with a dvd/book combo that was signed by everyone on the team. Pretty stoked on owning this thing. Thanks Rob.
Now, if only he'd flow me a few candles I'd be content.
-
Suski is a god and his part remains my favorite. The way I'd seen him skate in person fully / perfectly translated into a barbaric and beautiful stream of well-filmed clips 8)
Ditto to most everyone - full of great parts, a Reynolds classic like no other, and overall a timeless hit... mang :)
-
The full body orgasm I would experience from seeing Dead Meadow live, followed by an emerica video with Dead Meadow songs, would crush my soul.

going to stick my head over the parapet to say i really hate the song for reynolds part

He was supposed to skate to the Animal Collective song Dill skated to in Mindfield. How sick would that have been?

What heckler said

Probably one of my favorite videos of all time. Still keep the dvd book thingy on my coffee table.
Only part I don’t like is sza, but it's short enough and well edited so I don’t skip it.
I don’t love all of the music, but each song works very well for the part and personality skating wise. Although I do a think an edit of herms picnic table section to some rap would be dope, itd be out of place in the video.
-
It's no TIS but still very good. I remember I wasn't into all the stoner rock and people grinding up rails (what a trendy move in retrospect) but that Reynolds part slaps. I go back to that, the Heath part, and sometimes Marquis Preston (Shame he fell off). Miner's editing for the Emerica videos was always something special. I'm a sucker for those green tinted timelapses.
-
What really happened to Marquis Preston? Why he didn't make it?

I saw them live once. They were pretty good. Might be the loudest show I've ever been to.

he skipped out on filming missions to play Call of Duty. Apparently he was world ranked as top 20 in the world and was making money from it too. That's one of the reasons i heard

This came out right after my wedding and I remember watching it on our honeymoon from the business center in our Italian hotel. I really wish I didn't see Reynolds' part for the first time on such a shitty computer. It's one of my all time favorites.

didn't he want to skate to Mercy Seat as well but Dollin used that in the Volcom Aus video??

I remember looking forward to this video all of high school and it came out right when I was leaving to start college. It was a real special and uncertain time in life, and for that alone this video holds quite a special place to me. (but also, because it's a really really good video.)
-
Still gold
-
Shameful that I'm the first person to mention Jaime Tancowny. You guys do realize he had an amazing part, possibly the highlight of his career, and thats saying a mouthful.
Marquis preston's part was mindblowing and that dude had a really unique style. Really thought he was gonna blow up after that part.
-
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Zk6mLWyen-w
This part holds up in a timeless fashion.
I went to DLX 2nd day it came out. They sold the last copy 20 minutes before hand. I proceeded to take the 71 bus up Haight and went to FTC. They were sold out as well. However, it was playing on the screen. I ask about buying the shop copy. After dude asked Ando, they said sure.
I got the booklet and DVD at a discount at like $12 since it been opened. Thanks forever FTC!

You got a source on those Reynolds rumors re: the Mercy Seat and Into the Flowers? Really interesting stuff.

Same. When I started in like 2004ish the small rumors from the small scene I had was that they were working on a video, and then I remember seeing an Austin Stephans ad where he's backsmithing a ledge and (at the time) that blew my mind, and when it came out I still hoped for an Austin part. Video dropped right when I was prepping for college and my friends had stopped skating.
I honestly don't think there's a single bad part. I enjoyed Preston, Tancowny, and Spanky even if they weren't the "best" parts
-
Amazing video, still watch it. The B-sides were just as memorable too.
Also secret Heath Kirchart part? Heck yea!

Yeah, and another team member said people started kinda freaking out when he started bringing guns on skate trips and playing with them at spots. Also heard on here that he had some gnarly warrants and had to dip out for a while.
-
Still think Reynolds should have got SOTY over Romero that year / the guy was robbed. Sure Romero slid a few up-rails, but Drew was at an age most dudes would be doing pivot fakies on 2 foot high banks as an ender but throwing down as hard as he did in his teens.
-
Preston was well ahead of his time, just like Jimmy with the hardflips
-
the lack of Herman footy sice then is lamentable
-
Wow time flies. I went to the Melbourne premiere.
This vid was probably when Westgate really came to the forefront of being one of the biggest skaters of that era.
Reynolds and Herman really shut shit down. Love both of those parts to this day
-
damn, i havent put much thought into it. cant believe its been 10 years. i just looked over and realized i have the book on my tv stand.
andrew reynolds part was so epic, it was sort of like he closed out the "stairs" era and started a new/equally amazing or better career as he got older, reminding us all how you could keep it going by going back to the lower impact stuff.
-
Well, it’s got the greatest skater of all time Reynolds hitting his peak, Heath Kircharts last part, B herm picnic table part. I would say it holds up well.
-
I had been out of the loop on skating for a few years at this point and I honestly don’t think I’ve even seen the whole video since I got back into skating around 2013ish but Reynolds part is in my top 3 all time. I still watch it regularly.
-
Amazing video, still watch it. The B-sides were just as memorable too.
Also secret Heath Kirchart part? Heck yea!
The secret Heath part!!! That joy division song did it for me! I'll have to put this on before I go skate next time
-
I think I've watched Stay Gold more times than any other video. It holds a special place in my heart because it came out around a year after I started skateboarding, but it shaped my taste in skate videos and appreciation for all kinds of styles of skateboarding.
Intro - par for the course Jon Miner time lapse footage, but it works quite well with the night time theme and Dead Meadow song.
Westgate - this is how you start a video. Fast as fuck, Brandon ripping through everything and popping uber high. I couldn't tell you how many times I would haul ass to that song down the hills around my house.
Herman - The picnic table section was always fun to watch and still is. Lots of groundbreaking tricks. His hammers section is well done to Fairies Wear Boots.
Marquis - A beautiful edit to a guy with a good bag of tricks and smooth style.
Spanky - I didn't realize back then that this was one of Spanky's bad parts, but I appreciated a few of the lines and tricks that stood out compared to those where he looked shaky.
Provost - His tranny section was always fun to watch with the old camera. I'm still mixed on it because Collin's not that interesting to me, but he had a solid part.
Tancowny - Favorite style with his trick selection. Has one of the best kickflips and heelflips and a buck-ass handrail skater. My only problem was that the song just didn't quite fit the part.
Suski - I'm not big on his song either but he had a solid part with a creative spot selection that you didn't see with a bunch of the other guys.
Braydon - His edit was good, but his kits and trick selection can be offensive. I love his 180 5-0 on the Wilshire rail and varial heel down the triple set but his part was too short.
Figgy - As gnarly as he is, it was pretty much just gaps and rails. Fun fact, he didn't skate a single ledge in his part.
Jerry - His part wore on me over time and it's cool he did his whole part nollie and switch, but I skip the whole bail section after seeing it so many times.
Leo - besides Reynolds, the best edit of the video. The highs and lows with the song are worked in very well and end with that 5050 up the rail.
Reynolds - I don't think I need to say any more. It's almost universally loved.
-
grew up on this and mindfield. still my top 2 favorite videos of all time, just can’t make my mind up as to which is #1.
-
Fuck, how could I forget to praise Herman's table section?! Doesn't get more G Code than that. Imagine being able to do shit on/over tables that casually? When I saw that part for the first time it instantly became my favorite Herman footage and still is.
-
Marc Johnson skated to not one, not two, but THREE songs. And he wasn't even in Stay Gold! That, to me, speaks volumes. Did you know he was drunk the entire time too? Crazy.
-
Suskis part was trash, I never understood how that dude was even on emerica or any shoe company for that matter
-
I was in 7th grade when this video came out and it was one of the first i'd ever watched. Reynold's part was the first time I felt emotionally moved by a skate part. Video will always hold up for me

I met my best friend in our teens through skating the og city hall spot. We clicked right away nerding on skating and vids, mags music and girls, partying etc. he even put a word for me to work at our local skateshop and got to work together and shoot the shit. Huge Emerica fan, he had boxes of shoes and merch and even had an account back when emerica had that kinda myspace forum thing. After going to a couple premieres, stay gold was on our #1 mission since they announced a new vid in the works. All we knew about it was “coming summer 2010” from the ads and He was beyond hyped to meet all of his favorites to the point he annoyed me lol
A freak accident happened, one that i could’ve been in, and he passed away at 20. What’s crazy is, emerica posted the official premiere date with the countdown a day after his body was foind.
it was an intense roadtrip from mex to la and the event an emotional rollercoaster to say the least. As much as i enjoyed being around all the big industry names, seeing dead meadow and earthless rip and making the best out of the night with my couple of friends, the whole time i had a knot in my throat and held up those tears. I was happy, then i was pissed at him for missing out, then i was sad, over and over.
All it took me to start shedding tears was seeing leo’s name (his fave) and i finally broke down pretty hard with reynolds’ kickflip as the crowd exploded.
I bought the dvd but it took me some months to see the video again because it was heavy. That december i got accepted into college as well, closing a chapter and about to start a new one.
So yeah, stay gold is pretty special to me too
-
Westgate - this is how you start a video. Fast as fuck, Brandon ripping through everything and popping uber high. I couldn't tell youu how many times I would haul ass to that song down the hills around my house.
That song and Salazars Dinosaur Jr - Almost Ready song from mindfield we’re my bombing hills song

He had the last part in the Zero video less than a year prior skating to the James Gang. This was kind of a middle filler part skating to generic biddle.
That boy sure fell off the face of the earth after that.

Damn, that's a heavy story. I'm sorry about your friend. I have a couple bands/albums that I have a similar relationship to due to friends who have passed. On one hand it's sorta beautiful to have something tangible to attach (good) memories to, but it's still hard to revisit them no matter how much time passes.
-
Holds up perfectly, in my opinion. Reynolds part is played at least once a week before i skate still.
-
still holds.
Herman's part goes hard.
Anything else down that reynolds (davis?) gap is a wash because kickflip stands strong with the editing and feeling.
-
This is Skateboarding is watched more in my household. Stay Gold gets some play, but not nearly as much.

Yeah, I have much more of a connection to TIS. I am 31 and I think I just missed the window on Stay Gold for being in the time where videos really affect you.

same. I started skating in 2000 so TIS (and Menikmati) were the holy grail. the real formative videos for me that set the tone for what skating is and could be. i was looking forward to SG for years and was super hyped to see it, but it didn't have that effect on me like TIS.
were there any easter eggs/secret montages in the SG dvd like there was for TIS?

Barrier Kult part, and Heaths retirement part are Easter eggs I think that’s it.
-
First premier I ever went to and still probably the best one even though none of the team was there (SF premier)
I remember thinking Leo should have been the last part at the time but now I see how sick Reynolds being the last part is
-
Herman's table lines are great, and Leo's part is enjoyable, but to me the only parts that I ever return to regularly are Westgate and Reynolds, obviously.
I could be like you folks above, maybe it didn't resonate with me when it came out due to my age at the time, but I do remember moving on from the rest of the video relatively quickly in 2010.
-
It's pretty crazy how Stay Gold ended up being more rewatchable 10 years after the fact than Fully Flared in my opinion.
As a bonus, we aren't reading articles 10 years after the fact about how miserable everyone was filming Stay Gold and how it soured them on the brand in general.
EDIT: I suppose you could argue for Heath and Jerry, but that seemed more of an issue of age and injuries than filmer pressure.

That’s because Miner is the shit and Evans got too carried away with the image he was trying to force skateboarding to be.
-
I would say neither Fully Flared or Stay Gold are THAT rewatchable because they're so long and have more redundancy with skate styles than you would want from a shoe vid. Fully Flared's influence definitely lingered more, but Stay Gold gave far less PTSD.
-
It's crazy how outdated Fully Flared seemed so soon after its release, considering how groundbreaking and influential it was at the time.
Stay Gold still stands up today and I don't think there's been many videos to beat it since IMO
-
Its only been one pandemic though

I rewatch Stay Gold still all the time. But definitely This is Skateboarding had way more of a influence on me because I was young and a skate rat when it came out.
Also Fully Flared is just completely unwatchable for me from start to finish. It’s just entirely to long. Instead I’ll just watch individual parts from it
-
Best part about it was probably the old Heath graphics, but correct me if I’m wrong.

The full body orgasm I would experience from seeing Dead Meadow live, followed by an emerica video with Dead Meadow songs, would crush my soul.
I saw them live once. They were pretty good. Might be the loudest show I've ever been to.
I first heard Dead Meadow through Stay Gold. Saw them live in Brooklyn two years ago and it was so fucking sick. Super small show with Mad Alchemist Liquid Light show along with it.
Stay Gold is pretty much the definitive video for me, still rewatch parts all the time. The premiere in Tampa at The Bricks in Ybor was second to none. Free beer, rowdy crowd, everyone hyped on every part and standing ovation for Reynolds' part. What a moment in time.

I'm bummed I never had the chance to make it to a big premiere like that. Sounds like it was an amazing time. Now we're in the age of less full lengths with mostly digital video drops and now covid so I guess I'll never get to experience the premiere hype.
-
I am a 90´s skateboarder but Stay Gold holds a special place in my heart.
Both B. Herman parts where ver ver cool\good and Reynolds part is nothing less than EPIC, definitely one of the best parts ever!
CLASSIC skate video in my book.
-
Stay Gold came out my first year in high school, so needless to say, it was a very influential video for me at a very formative stage in my life. My local shop at the time, which closed down a year or two later, had a huge premier in their parking lot where all of the skaters in the area showed up to. I'd been skating for less than a year at that time, and probably couldn't even kickflip yet. I was a wide eyed kid stoked to be hanging out with our town's skate scene and seeing my favorite pros on the big screen. Everything about that experience blew me away and I bought a copy of the DVD on the spot that I would end up rewatching almost every single day after getting home from high school. And by rewatching it, I mean that I was starting it from Heath's part almost every single time and watching the whole damn hour long video. I had maybe two or three friends at the time, so it was also a rough transitional patch in my teen years.
Stay Gold got me even more excited on skating than I already was at the time. I learned kickflips while wearing a pair of Hsus not long after that. Joy Division became my favorite band because of Heath's part. I still have that DVD somewhere and it's still my favorite skate video to this day.
-
Quite possibly the last timeless vid that comes to mind.
-
and still holding up.

I used to peep the 2 page ad shown in Miners insta post every single Saturday prior to going out to party...... I was spanky one saturday, then romero the next one...... such great times

Can't remember if I posted this in here, but we rolled up to the Blocks in downtown Tucson one day while visiting, and the majority of the Emerica team showed up at the same time. It was the day Reynolds did the line with the backside flip. When we saw they were there we decided to leave to give them their space, even though there were already at least 20 local kids lurking... but before we left I quickly went and said hi to Suski since I knew he lived in the area and I wanted to find some ditches to skate. He turned out to be the nicest dude ever and that was the start of a great friendship.
But anyway, we went and skated a ditch, came back, and Reynolds was just about to start trying his line, so we joined the now even larger group of local kids to watch. He did the line 3rd try but fell victim to the same exposure change issue that happened when he kickflipped it years ago, so he had to re-do it and the second one took over 30 tries. I filmed both and several years after Stay Gold came out I used them in a video I made along with Suski clips I filmed.

On the horizon we have have a couple of modern classics reaching their 20 year mark:
Sorry
Yeah Right
Hot Chocolate
Sight Unseen - really psyched to see what they do with this, of the line up only DD is still skating hard with the rest retiring or fading into obscurity
It will be interesting to see how the community views these videos 20 years on. Hell; 10 years feels like a short time ago, 20 years seems like a more fitting time for a retrospective.

leo romero could drop his part today and still get soty his last 5 tricks or whatever on that double kink rail are burned into my brain
Reynolds part > Romero's.. Drew got robbed on SOTY.

Menikmati is 20 this year. Crazy to think I've more or less been skating 2/3 of my life

Quite a shame since eS is a shell of it's former self. Then again so is Flip and Crailtap.

I paid american dollars for this video when it came out and I was firmly entrenched in BMX at the time.

going to stick my head over the parapet to say i really hate the song for reynolds part
He was supposed to skate to the Animal Collective song Dill skated to in Mindfield. How sick would that have been?
less sick I think.
Idk, I like that animal collective song probably more so than the Edward Sharpe song but Dill skipped the whole intro part(as he should have, probably) and just got right to the peak>end. Which is fine for a 2.5 minute part.
Reynolds' is 5+ minutes and earns that fuck you every famous spot ever/crescendo so hard.

I've watched Stay Gold in items entirety once at most but watched the accompanying Andrew Reynolds Madness clip more times than I can recall. I don't blame him for sticking to low impact skating after seeing the stuff he hucked himself down.
-
Best part about it was probably the old Heath graphics, but correct me if I’m wrong.
Those were actually factory records graphics.

It's no TIS but still very good. I remember I wasn't into all the stoner rock and people grinding up rails (what a trendy move in retrospect) but that Reynolds part slaps. I go back to that, the Heath part, and sometimes Marquis Preston (Shame he fell off). Miner's editing for the Emerica videos was always something special. I'm a sucker for those green tinted timelapses.
It was trendy, but to be fair it was definitely Leo Romero (and then shortly after additions from Westgate) who started the trend, so I don't think it's fair to criticize the video for being trendy (not that you were).

Let's split some hairs here. Leo started going up shit after he saw Brandon Westgate grind up blubba, which was in the Zoo York video the previous year. Of course, both of them had parts in Stay Gold, so this is all for naught.

Seeing this for the 1st time at the SF premiere still stands out as a life highlight. The energy was so high in that place. Afterwards me & the dudes I went with went out & skated like madmen all around SF, we were so hyped. Good times.
-
Always wondered why Heath’s part separate?
That photo/clip is sooo dope.
Great video and definitely my favorite Reynolds part.
-
Holds a special part in my heart, considering I was 19 and just getting back into skating after a rough first year at college. It was also the last (or one of the last) videos where a lot of my idols from childhood were in their primes.

Leo had a ridiculous year though. He dropped that Brainwash part too and had an ad in nearly every mag that year. You could tell Leo was gonna get it.

Just watched this and mindfield to see which is better. Mindfield had amazing stuff but a few parts dragged it down (dyrdek, Berra, horsey taylor). No sleeping in stay gold. So stay gold and mosaic are tied for all time best video.

Reynolds had the same number of thrasher covers that year as Romero, and they were better tricks also. What he achieved at such a late stage in his life may never be replicated again, especially the big gap hucking. Most the late life hammer dogs stick to rails to keep the knee impact as low as possible. They should have given him his 2 times Soty to put him up with Cole. Romero did exactly what I expected him to do, pulled a Janoski and rode his 15 minutes of fame into the sunset. End of the day tho who cares, its some random opinion by a mag that tries so hard to be hard it comes off being cliche. If they had any sense of legitimacy theyd have given it to Nojah for his Fade to Black year. To never have him as SOTY is a failure, and shows how much they suck the core opinions cocks.

I bought it off iTunes. I was pissed that Heath's retirement part wasn't included, because it played at the premiere and sounded like it was just part of the video. I emailed asking about it, was told it was just a bonus on the DVD, and wrote another email back bitching about that fact. I'm sure they had a good laugh at my expense. I don't know if I was desensitized or what, but the biggest thing that stuck out to me was how high Reynolds popped that backside heelflip down that big four in I think France or wherever, the one he also bs 360s. The grinding up rails thing annoyed me. Watching it now, even as a straight male, I still like the more fitted 'fits of the day compared to now. We hadn't quite gotten to the slim shoes yet, or maybe it was at the beginning of that.

awful pants, great skating.
