Worst skate video ever

[MareVitals]

There was a red dragons video I got bummed when they killed a shark.

I remember this. The video was trash anyway but this sealed the deal. Fuck everyone involved with that.

[thebacker]

Element elementality is up there. Bam mike v little kid footage multiole dreadlocka awful soundtrack tour footage probably. And the sound synched up to the beat but not the skating.

Nike nothing but the truth? I think it’s the name. The stupid nonsensical skits make the video twice as long. I only remember Dan Murphy skated to ray Charles and Reese skated to Johnny cash.

Brent Atchley and Jake Rupp made up for everything in that video

That Blind What If video was really bad.

No way. Ronnie had a solid part. James Craig skating to a personalized Murs song. Plus his ender was ridiculous. Evan Schiefelbine, Aaron Artis, and Corey Sheppard all had solid parts. And the first Dumcombe part if I remember correctly. Then you have Carlos Ruiz's who had one of the most hated parts of all time. I think the only person to top that was Sinner in Theatrix. Regardless of how you feel about that part, you cant say it isnt legendary.

It wasn't a good video, but I think it's far from one of the worst.


And sorry to all the old dudes, but Animal Chin is terrible. Those fucking skits...

  Good call

100% Flat earth or the new Etnies Video... like its a shame they did the skaters like that, so unwatchable and horrible editing styles with filming

Jake Brown's part was jaw-dropping

[HangtenNoseblunt]

menikmati! 

[bo golden]

any of you ever see the Revolver video? 

[doomstation55]

Wasn’t a fan of birdhouse the beginning

Absolutely this, what a piece of shit video. The only redeeming quality is they didn't totally fuck up Nessers part with bad music, just forgettable music. Sumner skating to Christian rock is the worst shit ever.

I also want to say that Jereme Roger's Neighborhood was also incredibly bad and it's crazy how badly he wanted it to be Forecast. Also the second NKA video Proof was awful.

[cucktard]

Attack.

That is RADICAL and BITCHIN’

[iKobrakai]

That XYZ video was pretty aweful.

To this day I cannot understand how they approved X Sorry. Like ".. yes, this shit is good. Let us just hire Baron for the sound track... "

which one? Stars and Bars is a classic!

[Chatbot]

For me it's pretty much every video pre vx/ mk1 standard and before people cared about the filming. The VHS shaky filming with the shitty vig. I know that's all they had but damn. I just can't watch videos from that era. Not to say there isn't a shit ton of videos now that suck but at least I can tolerate them.

The RDS FSU 2002 video was amazing, but skate party or whatever it was called was terrible.

[Mongoloid]

Atm click had a video I hated at the time. I should rewatch it, it's probably fuckin amazing now

Whoa whoa whoa! If you’re referencing “Fast Youth” I hugely disagree.

[DM]

I have fond memories of this even though it is shit. You kids these days have it lucky.

[Far from relevant]

Globe opnion has the worst editing thats for sure. Any early thrasher video is pretty bad, random throw away footage with a random punk song thrown overtop.

[Style Police]

The Storm was the best worst video ever.

[Mr. Fink]

Most of these videos would have been sick if they had a different soundtrack. Imagine how good Zoo York State of Mind could have been if it had better songs.

[TITANIUM NIPPLES]

When this came out we used to watch the jump ramp section and then head out to the shitty one we had built in my friend's cul-de-sac.  It was still an era where kids were often trying to figure things out from magazine photos and whatever video you could find. Plus, Natas footage always just looked so sick.

I'm loving this romp through some of the worst videos of my childhood.

The Beginning might take the cake, solely for introducing the world to the blandness of Figgy.

What If? wasn't great, but I've got a soft spot for it. Plus, Evan Schiefelbine's part is a feel-good sleeper hit, and people on here love Ronnie Creager.

Has anyone said Slaughterhouse yet? People love to praise that video because some of the team got famous, but it was so fucking awful. Medicore skating, bad editing, bad filming, everyone dropped the ball with that one.

[blurst_of_times]

Cataclysmic Abyss is pretty awful, minus Nuge and Duffel's parts.  I'll give another vote to The Beginning as well.  Nesser's part is the only one that I rewatch from that video.

[blurst_of_times]

not the worst, but Mystery 'Black & White' was a huge letdown after how great the Mystery promo was in New Blood

[givecigstosurfgroms]

How does that birdhouse vid count. I'd rather not think the point of this thread is to shoot fish in a barrel.  I mentioned menackmati cause it was a shit bomb combined with fact that it was supposed to be a state of the art represtation of skating at that time by the biggest and best in the industry.

[HangtenNoseblunt]

i remember wanting to rewatch emericas yellow but wasnt able to

[HangtenNoseblunt]

just tried again and yea its really hard to sit through

Regarding Creager: You mean it as in "people on here love creager and i do not get it" or "people on here love creager but still give the video shit"- really curious!
I liked it but did not think of stuff like editing and all that back then so i might have to rewatch it!


Slaughterhouese: I hated that video SOOO much when it came out, might have been because i was still on some SD influenced tech video mindset (wich was pretty aweful too in hindsight with only 6 tricks allowed unless you were smolik)......later on when i found out there were different kinds of skating i started to love slaughterhouse!

you have to keep in mind i am from a more rural area in europe wich means we are a couple of years late on skate shit usually....

when i was in vegas i randomly dropped by desert breeze park and even more randomly sammy baca was there with his family (girl and first son back then) and he was such a humble and nice guy

[BacksideWallride]

Tracker Hi8 is pretty terrible, dudes just gave whatever they didn't want
There's a Gullwing video from the early 90s that sucks
Da deal is Dead and H street lick have been called worst videos ever before,
I think they're perfect messes. There's a lot of early to mid 90s videos
Most people on here have never heard of that are really terrible

Maybe because it was one of my first videos but I love Da Deal is Dead. Single clip Half Cab flips on flat in slow motion baby!

Also always loved this lil throwback to it:

To me it's Flip Extremely sorry... Maybe my hopes we're just too high being a kid who grew up on sorry/really sorry ?

[close]

Yeah they blew it with the animation and that one dude who did the soundtrack for the video. It’s really fucking sad how bad that video came out with sorry/really sorry being so legit. I grew up on those videos too. I got the flipside dvd with money from my first job in 6th grade

the only good part to me was rowleys at least he skated to a real person playing a real song even if it was a cover.

Skate More was an insult to the people who were in it.*

It felt like the parts were edited by all different people with different project ideas and i'm guessing the monty python segways were enjoyable for that huge range of skateboarders who are notorious for loving monty python?

*What I wouldn't give to see a new shared Busenitz/Zered part set to Sabbath, that part was a super exception.

Well I liked skate more, daewon part, dill part I liked, fuckin Chico.)

Deadbolt trucks parental advisory is my guilty pleasure. The slam section is gwar’s sick of you—couldn’t find it.

Here is Aaron Deeter’s part (I am guessing he did not select his song):

[close]

Some good sit in this clip.  Question; was the vert skater 'aaron deeter' on zorlac in the late 80s a different person?  He invented Ollie blunts to fakie as I remember.

Same guy. He has a nice part in the Zorlac video around the same time. If you put his part in the Polar video I don’t think anyone would be the wiser that it’s from 27 years ago.
