What would be the first video or part you would show to a kid who is just learning how to skate. I would show them Mind Field or all of the Habitat vids.

kids need to learn early on it's alright to play in traffic

cardiel/sight unseen
nice music, best style, good skating and those big handrails get kids stoked
-
an ollie trick tip. I personally wouldn't want to show a kid a part and be like" this is how you should skateboard". That's whats wrong with 90% of faggots on slap. someone else formed their opinion for them.

Should be every young skateboarder's ideal:

Basically all sorts of weird skating that they might not even realize people do. Let 'em know you can do pretty much whatever you want if you feel like it. They'll see plenty of ledges and gaps without any guidance. Besides, most people can't tell the difference between a kickflip and a nollie flip when they start.

Quim Cardona-Non-Fiction
Any Drake Jones footage
and Ricky's part from EE3.

I might guess that you saw your first skate video/photo/magazine years after you started skating, also you didnt hear any commentaries from your friends about whats good or not and everytime you saw an x games commercial you changed the channel.
kids should have the right to know that there's more pros out there rather than just lutzka and sheckler;

i showed my friend who's just getting into skating parts from my favorite skater chris cole, bag of suck, and i lent him some of my videos including ride the sky and mind field.

This is actually a fair point but there's a difference between showing some young kid something just to get them stoked and showing them it while saying how good it is compared to some other type of skating.
-
I'd just put yeah right on. I think most kids would get into a video like that because it's got a lot going on with the whole way it was put together and all. Kids would probably love seeing that as a first full length skate video.
-
before i read anyone elses post, my answer is tiltmode then man down....
edit: after reading first post i say tiltmode then photosynthesis.... then man down
edit edit: cotg acts like i'm going to put a gun to a kids head and say "DO A SAL FLIP LIKE LOUIE BARLETTA BITCH." cotg is a kook.

Baker 3, my all-time favorite vid and some P-Rod parts
-
Good topic.
Part - Ricky Oyola, Eastern Exposure 3
Video - Ride On, Deluxe team vid.
-
the "skate and destroy party" scene from animal chin
-
Welcome to Hell is a good one maybe some old 411s or something.
I don't think showing a video is like telling someone how they should skateboard, its more like "holy shit people can do this on a skateboard, that's fucking great!"

yeah i thought this thread was asking what you would show a kid to get them interested in skateboarding, not a kid who's already interested and is trying to learn tricks.
as such, i think baker 3 would be a good one. say what you will about showing drug abuse to impressionable children or whatever, but my whole family sat through baker 3 entertained the entire time, it made it look fun and showed what was possible in skateboarding that someone who isn't familiar with it wouldn't know. they tried to watch strictly for skaters videos with me like the black box videos and were bored to tears. most of the older parts that people have mentioned fit that description of skater only audience, i doubt anyone would want to get into skating these days watching that ricky oyola part.
-
The puking session in Fucktards?
I'm gonna say Man Down also. There are so many other videos out there with better skating, but none of the others I can think of get across that feeling of hanging out with your friends and just having fun.
-
that ty evans lucas puig retrospective
-
baker vid filled with lifestyle hammers if i want to fuck the kids life
man down if i want to show him the beauty aspect of skateboarding
mindfield if he does acid
-
Tiltmode video is a good answer.
-
almost round three is a good video for younger kids caues its all g rated with no tough guy type bulshit its just showing off the teams talents and it does have some amazing skating the soundtrack is even kind of kid friendly.
-
I would first show a kid a nice pair of tits, then warn him of man hands.
Tits are a good part of the female anatomy. I prefer a good ass, but for a kid, tits.

-
Pj Ladd's Wonderful Horrible Life would be a good one I think.
-
real - roll forever... it's a good mix of different styles and shredding from a honest company and still could be considered 'up to date'

Bag of suck. Louies part makes me realize how fun skating is.

I feel like everyone should be shown an old Powell video by an older relative, no mater that it be ten years older now that when I was shown them. Seeing that and then staying up at night catching glimpses of the X games on tv I just couldn't link the two in my head. a combination that left me confused but still fascinates.
or any of the tiltmode Vids, or the jerry and Louie re edit from that osiris video, the one when boulala was on?
-

yeah i agree, with the whole invisible board shit too.
-
i already make my kids watch the Menace section in 20 Shot on a daily basis.
"Gather 'round the television, yall--it's lesson learnin' time."
-
^ i believe you've said that at least twice already, word for word.
-
For someone who's just getting into skateboarding I'd show them a nutty old Plan B Rodney Mullen part... Those were my favorite parts to watch starting out because Rodney has always and is different than anyone else out there. Those parts showed me that even if all I had was an empty parking lot to skate that the sky was still the limit.
-
animal chin
video days
menace section/20shot
questionable
yeah right
in that order. and with a group of homies that i know in attendance for atmosphere. and then let him come to the mini ramp with us lurk out.

I was going to say Natas' part from Streets of Fire, also Tony Hawks ender part in Ban This because it's pure eye candy.

Guy Mariano, Video Days.
14 year old kid skating like a man possessed.

the first video my friends and i got a hold of was actually the old 411vm trick tips video. the one with kareem campbell doing kickflips, ed templeton doing grinds and reynolds doing manuals. we watched that over and over. we had already seen one or two actual skateboard videos at that point, but there was so much going that we were overwhelmed. we liked the trick tips because we could actually tell what the hell was going on. a good trick tips video is not a bad start.

this is a great topic....I wasn't sure what would be a good video part to really introduce a kid to skating....so i figured I'd see what everyone else put, and try to make a better opinion...after all was said and done, there was nothing that hit home more that that Lavar McBride "Trilogy" part. That made my fuckin day right there. It's one of those video parts that humbles you and at the same time makes you just want to push down the street and SKATEBOARD, rather than the 1-trick "stunt" boarding I seem to see a lot....don't get me wrong, I'm not against big gap/handrail skating, but this just seems way more pure to me. seems like something like that would really make a kid want to start skating. the skating is clean, but is still fuckin insane. there's a switch 360 flip in there, about half way through, that nailed it for me....that was it. and considering how old the video is, it made it that much sicker....just my old ass throwin in my 2 cents...

Yeah it's great because it's lots of lines, stuff you can do in your own neighborhood, and mostly low-impact (with the exception of the Hubba Hideout stuff) so you won't break your head trying it.
-
My own of course!
So the kid can see it really can be done and it's not a video game.

BA in Yeah Right!
Apples from Sorry or Really Sorry

Good call. My friend and I were talking about our first videos from when we were in middle school. Mine was fulfill the dream and I spent all my time trying all sorts of shit I had no chance of landing for years. My buddy saw welcome to hell, which taught him to go fast, ollie and have good board control.

a video of COTG's massive sense of insecurity
-
Not sure if there is a particular part I would introduce but a few videos come to mind.
Man Down, Photosynthesis, And Now.
-
Jump off a Building. It was the first video i ever saw and with maldonado/bam/kerry it was basically a local video for us. i still watch kerry getz busy about once a week on vhs.

dying to live
sorry
both videos have full parts that dont get old

Why have multiple people said the menace section of 20 shot? Everybody knows the BLIND section in that video was the best- Ronnie Creager, lil' Lavar Mcbride, Henry Sanchez... so good.
And Sleazy, good call on the Matt Rodriguez part.

a couple of years ago before i moved to california, i gave a vhs copy of photosynthesis to some local kids that had never seen a skate video before.
besides it being one of my favorite videos, i thought it wouldn't be a bad introduction.

Obviously Jason lee because he basically breaks down the essence of skateboarding right in the intro....

Tits are a good part of the female anatomy. I prefer a good ass, but for a kid, tits.
new signature.
With that being said, I'd have to agree with the Tiltmode videos. I love the "feel good" aspect of 'em, along with A Happy Medium. I was introduced with Dying to Live... it led me to have some of the best years of my life jumping off and down shit while my body could still handle it. I don't know if that would totally work now... kids are super stoked on all that tech wizardry.
-
some gonz
Definately! Probably one of the krooked videos where he's just skating down the street being wacky, jumping off things and acting a fool, and actually looks like he's enjoying himself. That'd get a kid stoked to just go out and roll down the street.
On the other end of the spectrum maybe something from Heath Kirchart, TIS or Sight Unseen.
Or a tour video like Super Campion Funzone, Hot Chocolate or Tent City.
-
kalis' part in the dc video
also, i think the chocolate tour is really sick because it portrays pros just having a good time skating. thats what its all about, right?

i thought it was the total disregard of females and the acquisition of a great sum of currency. That being said.......tour footy of the JR Blastoff comeback tour.

That's a great part, it's whole vibe is just fun. It's a shared part too which would stoke some kids out just because it shows them skating the same spots and having a good time. Everything going out to skate with your friends is about.
