Unfortunately you are all wrong.
CIGAR CITY
It sparked the best skate videos of all time

True. Any static is worth buying. Same with sabotages or eastern exposures.

My lady recently through out my vcr.  I’m truly broken up about it

[WarmUpZone]

Serious answer: Spirit Quest. Possibly one of the best skate videos of the last 2 decades, and the last truly unique video for a long time. If you find a copy, buy it!

Or DM Colin and get a digital download for like $10 or something. @mandibleclaw
Absolutely worth it and 100% of your money goes to the filmmaker.
If you only pay money for one video, make it Spirit Quest.

I remember being so happy after bringing home Photosynthesis and watching it for the first time. I was unsure but the shop made me buy it. They also convinced me to buy Modus Operandi because they said it was better than Feedback and The Reason. I’d watch a video everyday for a month til the next thing came out so I got my moneys worth.

your first one

[Jerrys Kid]

Isn't it crazy how there was a time when videos like Fully Flared and MindField were like $30 at my local shop, and you could have gone to Best Buy and gotten the Lord of the Rings Return of the King for like $20.

I'm no accountant, but the cost for vans, cameras and Motel 6's can't be more than the cost of filming epic battle scenes with Viggo Mortensen and Orlando Bloom.

Darkstar's "Autotelic" is a gift that keeps on giving!!!

Way more people buy movies than skate vids. A semi-decent movie has at least broke even in the box office, so dvd sales were just bonuses.

The financials behind skate videos are still somewhat secretive but you can imagine that Lakai needed Fully Flared to sell well on dvd and create a boon in shoe/softgood sales for it to be considered a success. Which of course dictated their price.

In the Final Flare, they say they spent something like a million dollars on Fully Flared. I wonder if they made a profit on it.

[Lenny the Fatface]

Even though half the FF roster bounced for more money, crail was still crazy enough to take another 5 years to make a vid. That tells me they probably made a slight profit.

[weregoingunion]

photosynthesis
spirit quest
this is skateboarding dvd (arguably some of the best bonus features for a skate dvd + easter eggs. that bonus reynolds part alone is worth it)

harsh barge
mouse

[Fifty8mm]

Eastern Exposure vids
Sub Zero
John Cardiel Epicly laterd
Far east Skate Network Vids.
That Recs shoes promo video.  Went for two hundred and not on YouTube.

I remember pre-ordering Sorry for so many months in advance and I probably have watched it several hundred times in my life, so quite worth it. Watched Mosaic a similar amount of times as well.

No DVD player?? 

Haha, they made a boxset with Europa, Bon Appetit, Freedom Fries,  and incredible extras.  Full early gypsy tours.  So fucking good

Couldn't  agree more. I got this as a birthday present for my brother and it's sublime. Also been buying the idabble vms as they come out which are pretty cheap and enjoyable.

[PL0P]

Cannot back spirit quest enough, I bought a copy back when it came out and still watch it bi-monthly (at least). Also, any copy of Ipaths summer preview is worth the dough!

This is why it has value. You can get the special editions that come with photo books and extras. The photos/extras have value but, the video itself will probably be online any day.

i forgot about that, i'll put this on my eternal christmas wishlist!

[gsosa]

I paid for the latest Snack video and even though it was just a digital download, it was so worth it. Crispy ass .mp4 with a banger ass vid.

[jerrygurneyscream]

I just got a text from my friend saying he just got photosynthesis and mosaic on VHS for $80 total id say thats worth the money

[Mr. Kamikazi]

Honestly, I wish I could get a physical copy of Baker 4.

And wish I still had This is Skateboarding vhs. Haven’t heard the first chords of Burning of the Midnight Lamp in so long.

I’ll sell you a copy! I have one!

[formula420]

Made chapter 1 was worth it
The pyramid country dvds were worth it
The flair was not worth it.

after years of looking for a copy a friend of mine told me about this "french ebay" website. Got the dvd boxset for about 25euros shipped (to spain)
