It's my favorite video ever (even though Hokus Pokus influenced me more if that makes sense). I hadn't skated for about 9 months when I saw it because I was all about my hard-core band at the time. My first thoughts were:
Hensley retired? Fuck this video
Who is Pat Duffy?
Wow this Pat Duffy dude isn't fucking around.
Damn, Colin got good as fuck
Fuck yea Sheffey and Barbier. (Shef part is so dope)
-Mullen is crazy (the tech)
-being blown away by MC
@ EMB 100%
-impressed with Rickoo's style 100%
-Danny's part is the best part of all time. The street and vertical combo is so badass.
Musically, I already liked Primus, Beastie Boys,, Pennywise, Bad Religion, Bad Brains so that was cool. Opened my ears to FU Schnickens and Del! Really like the Dead Can Dance jam during the creds.
I thought that I was instantly way behind and promptly tried every flip possible until I calmed down. I personally think it's the most influential video as far as tech Street skating and Danny and Colin vert was nuts especially back then. It is also the video that brought me back into skating from my hard-core band hiatus. I think that is part of my bias - it re-hyped me on skating. And I guess cuz it was all so new to me. I still watch it about every 2 weeks, 30 years later.
I watch this, virtual reality and Mouse on the reg. And all Wade Speer clips.
Danny part is so badass.. his street shit is fucking sick and the vertical stuff is still top notch.
Duffy rail is the #1 trick of that video. Blew the doors off skating rails.
P.S. Duffy part in virtual reality I think is even more nuts but that double kink changed skating forever
