Title: Cliche

Can we talk about how good Cliche once was? Post your favourite Cliche videos here.

I really love this shared part at the start. The song gives off a feeling of nostalgia and the little animations give an insight into how people can get unlucky with injuries. Even if JJ Rousseau was an asshole, I would've loved to see more. Didn't he leave a Gyspy tour early and complained the whole time he was there?

Another one of my favourite shared parts. I love Jan Kliewer's approach - style and trick selection. French Fred killed it with these videos.

Unfortunately they lost the magic the moment they starting putting Americans on. Hello Jojo probably has its moments, but I haven't watched that one in a long time.

Outside of 411, Europa was my first time seeing European skateboarding. The video definitely had an impact on me as a wee lad.

I really liked the full Length Bon Voyage'
although this was way later it still presented itself well, and Lucas's part was on repeat for me for a good bit.
Always thought it was really clever

By far the most sincere Cliché vid, nice pick. Glad to finally see it up in full on YouTube as it actually wasn't for the longest time (because of music copyrights).

This part still amazes me for the fact it was mostly filmed when he was like 15/16, and he still has such a clean style. Most kids that age who can do really impressive tricks are still growing into their style/power. Only other parts that jumps to mind for this are Mike Mo in Fully Flared and Lavar in Trilogy.
