Title: Is DVS “Skate More” the worst skate video?
Post by: BartHarleyJarvis on June 27, 2022, 06:58:16 PM
Just rewatched for the first time in a long time, this shit sucks. Sort of a wack team, really stale tricks, a lot of bad style (Huf excluded). Just a harsh period in skating in general. Is there a worse video?

Gonna have to heavily disagree here - dill’s skate more part is incredible, one of my favorite parts of all time. My favorite era of dill as a matter of fact - zered had a great footage, obviously huf, and daewon’s part was also one his all time best. Also not to forget Kerry Getz’s essentially last part of his career, which had some heavy bangers.. I always thought that nollie flip going backside off that ramp/bank was one of the best ever. In fact let’s start an is Kerry Getz still alive thread.

Edit- coming back to mention Chico’s part and Jeron Wilson skating to let it whip, if that doesn’t get you in the groove then shame on you. Sure lots of the skating may not be as impressive as today’s skating, but remember it was 2005, the standards were not what they were now, a blissful time to remember in skateboarding IMO.

Jeron, Chico, Busenitz, Dill, and dare I say Jereme Rogers all had great parts.

Still a better video than The Storm. Also Darkstar Battalion exists.

It feels like the weird mid-generation of skating where the 90s guys were aging out and the young bucks hadn’t found their style and weren’t progressing yet. Most of that footage would be throwaway footy in “yeah right”

The fact that Berra presumably had access to The Faint’s entire catalogue to pick from and landed on that song should have raised my suspicious about Berra’s lameness and decision making many years ago…

I’ve talked up some of the individual parts on other threads, but as a whole Label Kills and Blackout had some objectively lower skill level (without being especially stylish or cool) skating - when compared to the content other pros were putting out at the same time periods

No, it has one of Daewon's defining parts that alone stops it from being one of the worst. If I had to think of one that stands out it has to be one of the last couple transworld videos where they butchered everyone's footage trying to be overly stylized in VX.

A part with Gonz guest tricks, nonetheless. Skate More wasn’t my favorite, but it’s far from the worst.

Also, to whoever made the comment about Daewon getting SOTY because of the ender part, I’d like to point out Foy got SOTY after putting out that Ty Evans Flat Earth part and that is easily one of the worst videos of all time.

Alex Olson & Gino too! I actually think it's a criminally underrated part. Definitely one of my favourites. The video as a whole is fine. The Monty Python intros were always kind of weird to me. Also they never bothered to make region free copies of this, so when our shop got it, they got about 30 copies that wouldn't work.

I liked skate more quite a lot to be honest. Good parts, cool animations.
If I'd watch it now I'd probably be underwhelmed as well because the level of skateboarding has progressed so much ...
So I keep the time it was filmed always in the back of my mind, and even then it has some cool parts (still love Dill's part).


That Ice Cream video was already terrible back then.
So much crap in there that didn't have anything to do with skating ...

It's a weird one for sure, but has some stellar moments and parts.

Personal favs;
Jeron's part and Jereme's part skating to Canned Heat is great. Has a mean switch 360 flip in there.

Definitely not the worst of the era though, when videos like rhat Ice Cream one exist.

i remember watching/taping that onto vhs off of the extreme channel here in the uk and then swiftly re recording a couple logics over it that were being shown just after. luckily that was a typical wet british day so i couldnt go skate outside anyway but still, that was time ill never get back.

I could have had a few tricks in this video, if I wasn't lazy. The whole euro team was supposed to have stuff actually,but wasnt enough footage, if I remember correctly. Or it just sucked.  I saw it right before the premier on a hotel room in Irland with Jereme, Berra and Jeron, upon just meeting them first time an hour before.  I really think the video benefited from the euros having no footage  ;D

There was a short time in the early 00s where I only had yeah right, DC video, hot choc and skate more and kinda have to disagree with the yeah right throwaway comment (hot choc is literally throw away from yeah right mixed with two mins of tour footy) if you watch them back to back (which was often the case at the time) skate more seems about right as Chico,jeron etc two years later just has no Koston or MJ to really up the grade.

Interesting to rewatch this for the first time in a decade plus. A few thoughts:

Kerry Getz screaming and carrying on is still very cringey. I feel like the focus on that on this part kinda killed his career a bit.

Around the 17.25 mark Jeron drags his foot to slow down mid line. I don't reckon that would fly these days or then either for that matter.

Dill's part is great.

Chico's part is 50% nollie heels. Notable exception is Reynolds' lovely nollie bs 180 down Country Road.

One thing that is really strange in this video is the shared part between Daniel Castillo and Torey Pudwill. Not only is this a seemingly bizarre combo but they use Kerry Getz's song from Mosaic (2 years before Skate More). What's up with that? Kerry Getz is in the video so surely he would of said something or you would assume the editor would of watched KG's previous parts right?

I'm not sure I would of appreciated it as much at the time but the Zered and DB part rules. Another weird combo.

Berra lol. What a clown.

JR and Jamiroquai still goes hard.

I can't give Daewon's part enough praise. This part really opened my eyes to the diversity of his skills and that he wasn't just an incredible manual/picnic table guy. Daewon was like a cyborg skater from outer space he was so far ahead of everyone else at this point.

Here's a link to Daewon's part with music (missing from the YT link above): https://www.tokyvideo.com/video/daewon-song-in-skate-more

The Monty Python animations still suck.

The Monty Python animations still suck.

So I had a lot of these same thoughts, especially the kerry getz temper tantrum montage (it’s hard to believe his “hockey temper” thing was supposed to be a selling point for him) and Jerons toe drag mid line. I’ll need to go back and watch some other Jeron parts because I was pretty underwhelmed by his part. Trick selection isn’t bad but his style is not very pleasant to me at all. His style reminds me of current torey pudwill, arms flailing but also really stiff.

I mentioned this before but yeah right was the formative video of my youth, and a lot of it Holds up and is still progressive for today, and it dropped two years before this video…

Obviously it’s not the “worst” video but it was a fun hot take to drop on the board. I’ve been enjoying everyone’s opinions and memories. Way more J. Casanova love than I expected.

I actually think "Skate More" is underrated in a lot of ways. It doesn't have the best soundtrack but it has some amazing skating. One of Daewon's best parts, a great Dill part, a very well edited HUF part (the tre flip gap at third and army still blows my mind), Zered and Dennis sharing a part, and even a really good Jereme Rogers part (pre rap career).

I can’t remember which one but I’m pretty sure the worst major video was by Flip. Might be the one with claymation or the one with intros by dumbass Johnny Rotten. Those and the Shorty’s vids must have been made by 12 year olds

Flip Sorry as the worst video of all time is THE HOTTEST take that Slap will ever see

nostalgia aside i'd say that's life is the worst skate video from that era
[close]
that's life is strange because half the video is terrible (gareth stehr, matt allen, angel ramirez) but there are some truly excellent parts sprinkled through the entire thing (your namesake, justin strubing, daniel shimizu). by 2007 you could throw the whole ass company away though
Gareth Stehr's entire career was ruined by one bad 360 in a line. Dude was fucking legit especially for the time. Last of the make it or break it era. (Altho Gabbers is kinda bringing it back to some level) also came from fucking nowhere in NZ in a time when it was an accomplishment just to get to Aus from NZ.

It is the soundtrack and bland editing that makes this video boring.

Among many other problems, Getz skating to a Napoleon Dynamite song didn't work for me.

Also, Mikey Taylor's ender has always been weak. I know we've discussed it on SLAP before but this would be amazing if someone did this at Dunbat but it is not a slow motion ender for a pro skater.

However, iThink might even be worse than this.

The year is 2006. I’m a young punk rocker/skater who just got his driver license wanting to take his girlfriend out on a date to the local pizza joint. Mikey Taylor is the hometown hero still in his “rolling deep with the crew in a tiny Honda Civic hatchback” phase, dressing fresh and wearing his City stars medallion. My girl and I order and end up sitting at the booth adjacent to Mikey and his crew. I don’t remember the exact insults, but there were comments made about the tightness of my pants and how they must belong to my girlfriend. Je suis embarrassed.

Years later I meet Mikey Taylor at a skatepark and mention how he absolutely roasted me at toppers pizza, and he was actually really friendly. We had a laugh about it. To be honest I like Mikey Taylor, although the current weird hustle mentality crypto iteration is a bit of a bummer.

This surprises you? Not exactly a look most people could pull off, or would even want to try for that matter.

Don't Americans all grow up playing baseball? Isn't the long socks thing kinda normal? Gotta admit I've done the shorts with long socks multiple times thruout my life altho usually more on the baca than dill end of the spectrum. Tall guy problems.

Also the worst skate DVD ever is that fucking ice cream video.

That Nike video wasn’t that bad, Supa skating to Raekwon, the BA Gino shared part (with that unironically sick Gino push), Weiger had some solid stuff, and a lowkey great Reese Forbes part . The edit was pretty weak and those skits were bizarre. It also came out around the same time as Fully Flared, which was fucking stupid.

I think it was Slap when I got on back in the days that someone pointed Jeron's knees out. That is when I knew I wasn't as big of a skate nerd as the people on this board. But I love his part but I think it has to do with the song.

And I definitely was not hip to Dill's part back in the days. I was so into Daewon and his tech that I felt Dill's part was super lackluster. I can sort of appreciate it now but I'd be lying if I said I like it like the rest of the guys on there.

No way. Battalion was amazing, despite Dobstaff's and Thomas's horrible style. This def comes from that moment when Barcelona was the place to film for sure. I think I even own the deluxe edition of that video (they just glued a silver piece of paper to the front of the original DVD box).

I sincerely believe that if Ruiz's part wasn't edited for toddlers he could have a career past this part. Dwindle did this kid wrong. Someone needed to mentor him not just let him huck down gnarly spots.

It actually does surprise me, not only would it be pretty functional pants wise, I think it would look sick. Undershirt/tanktop, half length pants, and high socks, as simple as it gets really. Probably great for skating. I think kids today have moved onto wild baggy / bigger clothes in general though which is why you don't see some kid rocking that.

Dill looks sick in that era because he's wearing actual pants cut off and just looks rugged, as opposed to Baca who just wears giant Dickies and huge t-shirts, not that he doesn't rock it, but it's not the same look. It's like Southern California motorcycle club style. Still I'm into it. And Blondey is moreso wearing just shorts and extra high socks with more sock exposure. Looks more like a soccer player than anything, which I guess is fitting considering he is on Adidas and that atrocious shoe they just gave him looks like a borderline soccer shoe I guess.

Dill's first line with the manny to fakie manny then the stance switch mid push to varial heel always stuck with me. Seems like no matter how fucked up that dude was he always had a lot of memorable clips in his parts.

The worst video will always be Birdhouse the Beginning.

Skate More is pretty good at best and okay at worst. The Zered/Busenitz part set to the wizard is worth the price of admission alone.

nike sb nothing but the truth has to be up there as one of the WOAT videos, one of the most disappointing videos ever
[close]

The cut scenes are whatever, but this is a solid video. Nowhere near bad.
i mean yeah obviously the skating is good, but it's not a good video when stupid skits take up half the running time. it's certainly not a video i would just put on and watch the whole way through. i was at a premier for it and the confusion and disappointment in the venue was palpable.

Rowley's song doesn't matter because his part is all time.  It's fucked up even by current standards.

i remember watching that and it being so obviously made entirely of leftovers.

there's a few crail dudes in it whose parts are just unapologetically warm up tricks from 'yeah right' filming missions, which came out two years earlier. can't remember exact details but I think, for instance, there's a clip of prod switch heeling a set that he switch fs heels in yeah right, in the same clothes etc.

this came out the same year as skate more and only a year after round 3, and daewon still had enough clips to claim first AND last part. his skating doesn't really speak to me that deeply, but the dude was such a fucking machine around this time. total legend.

I'm surprised you don't see more NYC skate rats dressing like Skate More Dill these day, loose cut chino high waters, high socks, mullet. Caveman over a smoky trash can in NYC dressed like that, tag Dill, that could be your ticket onto FA
[close]

This surprises you? Not exactly a look most people could pull off, or would even want to try for that matter.

Would be pretty funny to see such a specific and obvious ripoff though.

The guys are all like "this is just what I'm into" while wearing silver shoes and capris with either giant hair or shaved heads.

Don't Americans all grow up playing baseball? Isn't the long socks thing kinda normal? Gotta admit I've done the shorts with long socks multiple times thruout my life altho usually more on the baca than dill end of the spectrum. Tall guy problems.

Also the worst skate DVD ever is that fucking ice cream video. It's not even close.  Most disappointing I'd say probably the DC video( love aves part, wenning is good, skip all the rest) or pretty sweet (we waited, expectations were thru the roof, it delivered but everyone realised they don't actually give a shit about this type of thing anymore)
[close]

Anyone else remembers that in 2009 it was supposed to be the first full HD skate video? it only took them 3 years more  ;D

I back pretty sweet as the Worst ever, in difference with some other terrible videos mencioned already, in this one there's no parts I go back to see, none
[close]

hasnt Blondey been rockin the Dill Skate More kit for sometime now?? minus the hair and silver shoes.

And how the hell is The DC video the most dissapointing?
[close]

It actually does surprise me, not only would it be pretty functional pants wise, I think it would look sick. Undershirt/tanktop, half length pants, and high socks, as simple as it gets really. Probably great for skating. I think kids today have moved onto wild baggy / bigger clothes in general though which is why you don't see some kid rocking that.

Dill looks sick in that era because he's wearing actual pants cut off and just looks rugged, as opposed to Baca who just wears giant Dickies and huge t-shirts, not that he doesn't rock it, but it's not the same look. It's like Southern California motorcycle club style. Still I'm into it. And Blondey is moreso wearing just shorts and extra high socks with more sock exposure. Looks more like a soccer player than anything, which I guess is fitting considering he is on Adidas and that atrocious shoe they just gave him looks like a borderline soccer shoe I guess.

Skate More was definitely a sick video for its time. I remember actually liking all the artwork that was interlaced between the parts as well. I really enjoyed Mikey Taylor's part in the video, at the time I was in 11th grade and went to Best Buy and bought that Doves album.

The album still holds up. And I think his part does too. Even though its cool to diss him now.

Other than that Dills spray painted silver shoes was definitely a time warp for me.

I was mixed up on which one is which. Sorry is good , even if I don’t like Johnny Rotten and Rowley’s song sucks. I don’t like the claymation one, whichever it is. And PJ Ladd doing no song was fucking smug and annoying. There is all my complaints about Flip videos.

I've never seen that shoe in person but it looks cool and seems fitting to his whole high fashion aesthetic from that time. Dill's part was sick. The song is lovely, he's got his own style of manuals, and it's a nice NYC time capsule. There was so much footage from Fat Kid Spot (RIP). It's a skatepark now and that's cool but I wish that they'd figured out a way to incorporate that weird metal bar that connected the two manual pads, or even just have a freak show flatbar influenced by the OG spot. It was such a strange obstacle and I can't imagine what it was even originally intended for. Maybe as a runner or track for loading small carts?

Out of boredom and a sick mind I discovered the following stats:

Clips on fake spots: 27 (79%)

Clips on real spots: 7* (21%)

*Some were a bit dubious however ie the piece of plywood up a stair set as a Euro, a suspicious looking bench before a stair set etc but I gave him the benefit of the doubt on these.

Out of boredom and a sick mind I discovered the following stats:

Berra's part contains 34 clips (no repeats or double angles)

What about suspiciously sped up looking clips?

I only watched it once and don't intend to revisit it again until around 2031. This might be one for you to investigate

I'll just say 4 because I think I already did this pretty recently and also can't be bothered going over it again. If someone wants to say it's not sped up but just a different camera or whatever then that's fine too

Were there few single tricks and many lines? At least that’s how I remember it.

I had these in all black.
Bought em from my local (at the time) in Bozeman Montana for like 60% off.
I remember them being super comfy, but the soles felt weird as shit on board.
They also lasted forever, which was a bummer as a kid with no money, cuz you knew you weren’t getting anything else till they were toast.

Seriously! These things were fucking bulletproof I had to wear them for nearly a whole school year I think? Looked crazy n your feet too.

I've never seen that shoe in person but it looks cool and seems fitting to his whole high fashion aesthetic from that time. Dill's part was sick. The song is lovely, he's got his own style of manuals, and it's a nice NYC time capsule. There was so much footage from Fat Kid Spot (RIP). It's a skatepark now and that's cool but I wish that they'd figured out a way to incorporate that weird metal bar that connected the two manual pads, or even just have a freak show flatbar influenced by the OG spot. It was such a strange obstacle and I can't imagine what it was even originally intended for. Maybe as a runner or track for loading small carts?

the  silver shoe in question was the dvs dill 4....the tan/brown ones above are dill1's, the infamous prada inspired shoe.

Lmaoo at the comments regarding Flip "Sorry". Str8 blasphemy.  ban them mfs

The thing with the Daewon part was that it was his return to 'proper' street skating. No more picnic bench constructions. No more repeating himself. He went back to the streets and that was a joy to watch at the time. Almost as exciting as his Love Child part. That nose manny along the bank and into the steep bit under the bridge was BANGING.

EDIT: SWITCH nose manny  :o

OP buggin’ Skate More is one of my favorites from the time period. I remember some pretty good marketing around it as well. For sure got some DVS after it came out.

Emerica Yellow might be the worst skate video of all time if we are limiting it to pro videos. that has to be one of the most phoned in vids of all time

I think it's gotta at least be divided into VHS era, DVD era and internet era. VHS era had a lot of bullshit like emerica yellow (a pig wheels video of the time comes to mind too) but it was pretty common for VHS videos to just be whatever minute of random footage people on the team had mashed together. As great as jump off a building is it's actually kinda jarring by modern standards of how short and random footage the parts are.

I got these in one of the monthly boxes in all colours and was so bummed out on them. The monthly box was around 20 pairs, so these went to the closet and sat there for years until I gave away everything DVS related, dont remember who took them but I guess someone like them enough to wear them eventually.

I will defend all Guy Kampfen and Ryan Kenreich parts / tricks. Hell, I even rewatch Chris Dobstaffs Osiris + Darkstar parts.
But on that note, as tolerant as I am of Chetty Thomas, his Batallion part has an awful AWFUL song and feels like you're watching a half hour hardflip tutorial. He also has some of the most oddball decisions ever in the realms of concept parts with his part in the Globe video; with his sporadic narration and dual screen tricks / lines. It's so fucking strange.
