A buddy and I were going through skate vids we used to watch as kids in early 2000s... we got to label kills which I fondly remember as the video with Jason Adams that introduced me to the world of slappies. Then we skipped around and watched Mike V's part... bro are you serious. Its literally 3 minutes of him pushing as hard as he can LMFAO. That's quite literally the entirety of the part, he does maybe like one or two ollies and the rest is just him hauling ass in the middle of random streets.
We rewound it and watched it again and watched in disbelief, pretty sure I was in tears laughing at the end of it.
Hard to believe that it even qualifies as a part... but there it is. Unbelievable. Any other parts to match this in terms of pure minimal effort?

This brings back fond memories of furiously fast-forwarding through this part on VHS growing up
-
Literal worst is too harsh but
Jason Lee tincan is pretty minimal effort.
Raven pretty sweet gets outdone at most of the spots he skates by people in the same video.
Timecode apart from Fred and Lenny.
All the acting in guilty might be the literal worst thing in a skate video ever.
-
To be fair he does a backflip (Miller flip) in a full pipe and ollies the huge flat gap at baldy. And does a hand plant on a handrail.
I vote for Southie.

Jordan Richter in Video Days. It might be good but I can’t remember the time I didn’t skip it

Idk…have you guys seen Roger Mancha in City Stars - Street Cinema?
-
Feel bad for his filmer having to haul ass to keep up as Mike V is max pushing all day sounds like fun
-
Some videos would be totally ubalanced(Limewire days) where one skaters song would be blasting & another you would have to turn the pc volume & speaker volume all the way up just to hear any dialogue. . After waiting so long for a video that sucks, I remember not being hyped on several people in the Dc video and Digital videos where they would show a guy with random ish on in every clip. Matter of fact the guy in the Firm video takes the cake, he had a different sponsor in nearly every clip and somehow it was in the video lmao

He got hit by a car if I remember correctly cause Mike was speeding through red lights.

I'm guilty of liking this part (or at least don't think it deserves the hate it gets) but it regularly gets taken down off YouTube so the comments section must be brutal.

I misread the title I thought it said worst Pants in a skate video.

sinner in the life extension video or jereme rogers in the selfish promo

Rest in peace to Aya but Gabe's one trick in Snuff was probably the least amount of effort I've ever seen someone make for a video part.
Danny and Colin shared part in the revolution, anyone?
Richard Jefferson in Seasons..?
-
one that me and one of my friends always give shit is josh kasper in trilogy
-
Berra in Mind Field.
Objectively not the worse thing ever but compared to the rest of the video when his part pops up it’s like “What the hell is this shit?”
-
sinner in the life extension video or jereme rogers in the selfish promo
sinner's part is a fuckin gem

That Mike V part is definitely the one. But as this part goes on, with each following trick you think "he wouldn't dare doing another pop-shuvit based trick" and they just keep on coming

Ha Carlos is sick! The second half of the video picks up and there are some cool tricks in there plus his spot selection is on point and I bet he had a lot of fun making this.
That mike v part is just painful. It’s like he had a good session at the full pipe and then stopped trying after that. I forgot about it and remember being so bummed as a kid. Felt like the kid from Christmas story spelling out “drink more ovaltine”

I agree with all of this. I’m just saying that I know this isn’t the point of skating, but if in some alternate universe, were I to judge this part like it was street league, this wouldn’t score too high.

I like Carlos just fine, and he gets a little leeway from I, due to his advanced age, but fun vibes or no, I still have trouble imagining the sitch in which this bitch of a clip was considered a good decision to release as a part for a sponsored skater. I would gladly consume this footage as part of a “homies video” but in THIS context, I’m left thinking “whaaat?!?”
My guess is his plug for free wheels said “Aye, Carlos… we need to fill out this bummer of a video: I’m going to need a part from you by Thursday if you want to keep your place on the squad.”
Anyway, dude is cool & some of that shit is barely skateable as it is.
Still… this part was stinkier than the trash can at a dog park.
-
I’m not trying to bash on this dude at all. I’m just saying I could have filmed most of this.
Not that straight no comply over the hip/gap thing though. I can’t do those.

You’re not in the wrong here though, Sneak; this part was basic level shit that even I am capable of giving a go at.
The Vallely part was still worse (for me) due to all that EXTREME pushing.
Going fast isn’t “clip worthy” unless it’s on some crazy-steep hill, even “way back” in the early 2Ks.

I really cannot stand this part in particular this dude’s face and tough guy persona, it annoys the piss out of me.

Remember the challenge in the first Skate video game where you had to stay within a certain distance of the skater you were following as they hauled ass through the streets? The guy who filmed this Mike V part was doing that challenge IRL.

He's talked about it before. He tore his Achilles tendon and couldn't flick his normal stance foot so he relied on pop shuv its.
also, apparently, he asked if they could just push him to the next video so he could keep filming and actually have the part he wanted and they said no.
i still like this part. couple of those manny tricks are still crazy

I honestly think that Mike V. part is the smartest part he could have done. It's a pretty funny part but served it's purpose.
Like he was already considered a legacy pro, coming from a era where the average skate career definitely didn't last 15 years. There were a new guard of skaters who had never seen Powell-Peralta vids, Rubbish heap nor the New Deal videos and he couldn't skate at the same level as his peers injured or not.
But having that gimmick part in Label Kills definitely set him apart from many Johnny Whatshisnames and the video (a bit surprisingly) becoming one of the biggest skate videos of early 2000's extended his career by bringing up his name up to a lot of kids who had no idea about 1281 or what ever. He became the dude who had "that" part in Label Kills and people still remember it.
I think the same happened to Hensley (but in a more positive light maybe), where kids who hadn't seen Hokus Pokus, saw his part in Label Kills and put 2 and 2 together that this dude might be awesome because he has a part in this too. At least it happened to me.
-
Regardless of if you’re hating on Carlos for that part or not, definitely check out this older part of his if you haven’t seen it. Dude is in his late 40s now and is the realest.

Fair point. Matt Hensley’s part was sick though. I just rewatched it and in a weird way it kind of foreshadowed the type of curb and fun smaller transition skating that we’ve (re)learned to appreciate today. It wasn’t an aggressive display of corniness like Michael V’s.

literally any part of a video with more than 10-ish seconds of weak bails, smoking, drinking, partying. shit is so played out and as formulaic as a film burn transition.

I'm with this guy. The Mike V part didn't ever bother me that much - maybe if it wasn't in Label Kills I would hate it, but Label Kills is an ultra classic video to me so maybe I'm giving it a pass based on context and being carried by the rest of the video. I always loved the Hensley part, that sunny side of the street song always pops into my head.
Also, when I was younger I loved doing that thing Mike V does where he pushes the board out in front of him and it slides a 360 with him running behind and then jumps on.
Definitely not a great part, but it never really bothered me - watching that whole video is a pleasure.
-
there's a story around that Mike V part though: he was coming off a broken ankle no and was supposed to saw his cast off in the intro? I also thought it was quite punk to put that out at a time when everything was so focused around bangers and literally had no flow whatsoever; just push, hand rail banger, roll onto the grass!
Mt Baldy gap ollie is also extremely fucked (and historical), I think he recently spoke about it on the nine club. You guys love to hate Mike V as much as you worship Gino's push though so I doubt that would change anyone's mind...
I often reference the video I'm going to post below when similar topics pop up, but to this day I can't actually believe how low the quality of skating is in it:

The worst thing about that Mike V part wasn’t even the skating. It was the posturing and the brooding in the intro looking like he’s about to go into battle against the jocks.

I tired to come at this with an open mind like "maybe its an artistic choice" or whatever but holy shit this part stinks. It's edited like a back to school ad for a store in the mall. The shots of him just pushing that get sped up only to amount to nothing?? The shots of him walking in the tunnel??

Truly despise Gareth Stehr and to a lesser extent Justin Roy - think Roy's part in Art Bar's was one of the first times as a kid I realized that if you can't do a trick and make it look good you just shouldn't do it.
Never understood the Josh Harmony hate personally, he does some pretty boring stuff (the back to back 180's over a gap that anyone else would have bee fs flipping or bs flipping) but there's also lots of solid stuff in that Ride the Sky part - pretty impressive fs blunt on handrail, a rare for the time proper fs crook on a decently large rail, that gap on the wavy ledge thing is pretty nice. Plus his part in Good vs Evil was one of the first times I heard Sebadoh so he gets a pass for that
-

If I’m remembering correctly at one point in his Art Bars part Justin Roy does a switch flip down a small set that doesnt really pop and kind of just awkwardly rolls. It may be the worst looking trick I’ve ever seen in a professional video part. That being said J Roy had some sick backlips and Art Bars is one of my sleeper favorite videos.

Such a good video. I thought it was one of the rare instances where the b-roll/artsy footage actually worked and added to the video. Great music too.

The problem with this part is it's just relentlessly pretty ok. The song is repetitive and so is the skating with just every trick possible done down a 7-10 stair and some pretty ok ledge and Manny's. Like he just ticked every trick off a list.

That line at 0:37 makes me think that if Mark Suciu existed when I was a kid that would be the type of stuff I would've been doing "playing" and pretending I was him skating down the street like I had quick feet or something.
There's a little Jason Adam's if he was autistic vibe I get from some of the tricks too.

unless I'm missing some piece of context that validates making fun of little kids, I always felt bad for Chris Branagh and Billie Waldman for getting made fun of as much as they did. That layback disaster on the brick bank that Billie Waldman does in Rubbish Heap does obviously deserves some pushback however.

Oh that's definately an aspect of pro skating that's bugs me more and more the older I get.
Been watching docos on pre euro South American cultures and pre Christian euro and there's a common thing of the elders just selecting a peasant seemingly at random to live as a "god". Like a whole group of peasants can work hard and do everything "right" but some get nothing and some get chosen. Reminds me of how pro skating works. (These "gods" often get sacrificed so there's also that)

Idk…have you guys seen Roger Mancha in City Stars - Street Cinema?
I guess what does it for me is the nollie bs flip in the line where his arms nearly touch the ground before he pops, like on some Tiago shit, but then its like 6 inches off the ground. When he lands he almost swerves into a powerslide and almost bails. Like dude, just refilm the line…
He also has what I believe to be a fakie hardflip but I can’t tell his stance at all…so not sure. But he lands with heel drag on one foot and toe drag on the other and then tic tacs out of it to stay on. He’s obviously consistent and Legend in Brazil. It just feels like the City Stars part was thrown together hastily without any effort.
He also does like switch flip grabs on vert in that part that look perfect somehow lol.

I agree with all of this. I’m just saying that I know this isn’t the point of skating, but if in some alternate universe, were I to judge this part like it was street league, this wouldn’t score too high.
oof you found a contender. Never understood the love beehive got for his skating, but he is a nice guy.

Justin Roy in Art Bars wasn't the greatest. Robbie McKinley in the DC video didn't do much for me. Southie WHL.
Jordan Richter in Video Days really is it.
If I’m remembering correctly at one point in his Art Bars part Justin Roy does a switch flip down a small set that doesnt really pop and kind of just awkwardly rolls. It may be the worst looking trick I’ve ever seen in a professional video part. That being said J Roy had some sick backlips and Art Bars is one of my sleeper favorite videos.
There's also the clip where he switch ollies some little gap and I don't even think taps his tail and ollies at all, it was more like an acid drop. We used to laugh at a lot of his clips in that back in the day.

Sven Kilchenmann's skating isn't bad at all but this has to be the worst song ever used in a skate vid. I remember always skipping this part as a kid. terrible music=terrible part imo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JexLOHRSah8
The problem with this part is it's just relentlessly pretty ok. The song is repetitive and so is the skating with just every trick possible done down a 7-10 stair and some pretty ok ledge and Manny's. Like he just ticked every trick off a list.
and yet if it were Robbie McKinley, people would say it’s a timeless classic and oh, what could have been
oh god yes this part was annoying. i like the streets but this song is ass and this part sucked bad. i was just like wtf is this shit just yelling "street level" over and over again
robbie mckinley was shit too

Couldn’t resist - I just rewatched his part. He has that swithflip, the switch ollie you mentioned, and a kickflip that all don’t really pop. He also has a switch backside flip off a ledge that looks like it’s the first one he ever tried on an obstacle. On the other hand he has a great kickflip front nose, nollie bs 180, and kickflip back lip in there. Those Marc Johnson 2’s epitomize that whole era of Tum Yeto skating in my mind.

It's not the worst part exactly, he's obviously a lot better than Sean Powers for instance, but Mikey Taylor in Mindfield comes to mind. Always thought he was super boring. Mind Field also has Dyrdek and Berra parts come to think of it.
-
Dustin Dollin's half part he shares with AA in Vans Propeller I never liked. Outside of the 180 ss 5-0 down that Hollywood Hubba, all of his tricks look like complete dogshit/super sketchy. He barely looks like he's comfortable riding a skateboard.
Maybe that's because he was probably hammered for all of his clips.

This. Alex's part is great. The skating is fantastic. It just didn't fit the rest of the video.
Baker2g is one of my favourite videos from that era, but TK and Knox Godoy felt like gimmicks, not real parts. I know that TK had only been skating for a year and he improved signigicantly afterwards, but pairing him with Heath made his skating look even more immature than it did already.

after rewatching that skatemore part it looks like 90% of it is fake spots too. All-state sign, the brick ledge to red rail, the bump to out rail, the bump to flatbar on the loading dock, the manual pad that looks like it's inside a warehouse.
doesn't make the part any less enjoyable. say what you want, berra had a pretty proper style and flip tricks. especially considering he filmed all that coming off a surgery.

Personally, I think the line between "fake spot" and "real spot" is kind of grey, particularly with foundation spots, diy ledges, quickcrete transition on banks, and bondo'ed angle iron on ledges that we see all the time in parts.
That said, did Steve Berra/Jim Greco steal an existing Allstate sign and turn it into a ledge they can move around? Or did they make a ledge and put a giant Allstate vinyl wrap around it? If the latter, why Allstate?

It's been said a million times and I agree to a certain level but they literally built bump to bars, handrails,a fake shop front with ledges. I doubt they stole the sign based on the level of building they were doing.
What bothers me more than the fake spots tho is he sped up half his footage. Building spots could be argued to be grey area but altering your footage to make it look like you skate faster has to be a no no

Def didn't realize it was sped up so much. It's much more obvious now that I was looking for it.
I remember SB once responded somewhere saying he didn't have time to film in that era because he was a single dad to a young daughter at the time. However, that doesn't seem to align with the crazy amount of effort he put into having loading docks and Allstate signs built for him to film on. Seemed like it would have been much easier to move picnic tables around at a schoolyard.

This like watching some kinda Lance Mountain/Mike V hybrid lol. I did some see some Lansdowne footy in there though, so that was cool

Berra in Mind Field.
Objectively not the worse thing ever but compared to the rest of the video when his part pops up it’s like “What the hell is this shit?”
I would say Dyrdek's part was the one that didn't fit in. The whole video was awesome and then he took a break from Mtv to shoot a quick part. Even he admitted it was terrible compared to the rest of the video.

Mark Appleyard in Really Sorry for the two song part, really REALLY REALLY HATE Courtney Love’s voice normally her band was atrocious and just bad in general, whoever was the jackass who picked those songs should’ve been fired.
I’m going to say any Andy Roy part, I know it’s harsh but there can only be one Jay Adams and he’s dead.
I mean, if the music doesn't tingle your berries download the part from youtube, mute it, edit some skate trick sounds and sync them to it, then put your favourite song as the soundtrack and voilá! if you have a computer, more than likely you have a movie maker type software to achieve this!

wow never noticed that SB was sped up as well... so weird lmao. who at AWS thought that was okay to do
they wanted the part to be over faster ;D

To be fair he does a backflip (Miller flip) in a full pipe and ollies the huge flat gap at baldy. And does a hand plant on a handrail.
I vote for Southie.
I actually really liked the handplant on the handrail. Made me think of some of the maneuver's that Andy Anderson can do.
I'm generally impressed with most handplants though....I can barely do 10 pushups

I'm going to politely disagree. It may not be your thing but it is far far from worst video part. I loved Timecode and everyone involved. At risk of getting beat up into perpetuity Bo's part was a little lackluster just because I knew what he was capable of.
Thomas Morgan's part in Timecode is legitimately pretty bad
come to think of it, most of the guys careers were basically over after that video aside from Kalis, Freddy & Dyrdek

Maybe the worst take on this entire board.

not sure which is a worse part, i feel like people will say mind field because of more fake spots, while others will say skate more because they hate the faint.

It cracks me up that Berra presumably had access to the Faint’s entire catalogue to choose from and landed on maybe the worst song for his part. Only Berra…
That faint song is rough.
It’s always annoyed be that Berra isn’t terrible. I’m not saying he’s my dude, but…I’d be absolutely lying if I said I didn’t admire about all of his flips that involve a 180. Particularly the half cab flips. Forever a goober that guy.
He does a pretty good Rickkflip in SkateMore
I would have liked his SkateMore part a lot more if it didn't have that corny dramatic intro. He amassed a good amount of footage so he didn't need to give an excuse for being injured.
after rewatching that skatemore part it looks like 90% of it is fake spots too. All-state sign, the brick ledge to red rail, the bump to out rail, the bump to flatbar on the loading dock, the manual pad that looks like it's inside a warehouse.
doesn't make the part any less enjoyable. say what you want, berra had a pretty proper style and flip tricks. especially considering he filmed all that coming off a surgery.
Personally, I think the line between "fake spot" and "real spot" is kind of grey, particularly with foundation spots, diy ledges, quickcrete transition on banks, and bondo'ed angle iron on ledges that we see all the time in parts.
That said, did Steve Berra/Jim Greco steal an existing Allstate sign and turn it into a ledge they can move around? Or did they make a ledge and put a giant Allstate vinyl wrap around it? If the latter, why Allstate?
What bothers me more than the fake spots tho is he sped up half his footage. Building spots could be argued to be grey area but altering your footage to make it look like you skate faster has to be a no no
The whole part is disingenuous on multiple levels. Truly the worst ever.

I feel dumb but I don't think I can see the speeding up in Borra's parts. I can see some clips where they could appear sped up if I looked at it that way, but nothing obvious. Where's a good example?

They put in replays of that 5-0 like it was about to put Black Label on the map.

A buddy and I were going through skate vids we used to watch as kids in early 2000s... we got to label kills which I fondly remember as the video with Jason Adams that introduced me to the world of slappies. Then we skipped around and watched Mike V's part... bro are you serious. Its literally 3 minutes of him pushing as hard as he can LMFAO. That's quite literally the entirety of the part, he does maybe like one or two ollies and the rest is just him hauling ass in the middle of random streets.
We rewound it and watched it again and watched in disbelief, pretty sure I was in tears laughing at the end of it.
Hard to believe that it even qualifies as a part... but there it is. Unbelievable. Any other parts to match this in terms of pure minimal effort?

It's been weeks since I saw this and I can't get it out of my head. It's too funny. You keep thinking the video is going to "start" and it just never happens. It's like someone made a parody of a skate part.
That being said, it's kind of fun watching Mike V aggro push. Kind of gets me hyped.

After kickflip tail at 1:48 entire line at 2:22 especially when he pushed looks so unatural. Altho I did do some "research" into this years ago and different versions look worse or better. The pal DVD where I first noticed it looks completely fucked which I thought could be a frame rate thing but it's only berras part and not every trick. I used to have a Bluray player you could slow down and speed up and if you just slowed it down a bit it looked normal. https://youtu.be/OxSh4uzDLMw

I used to hate Paulo Diaz in Cherry but it grew on me as I understand it’s just chill clips

joey brezinski has never put out anything enjoyable, the only clip i ever liked of him was in that crob part where he does a line ending in a kickflip front nose, he does the worst combos, nobody wants to see your halfcab noseslide to backtail fakie manny bigflip joe
