Who has the best soundtrack to their skating?

Fell into a Mike Carroll wormhole, and realized he put me on to a lot of shit.

Koston/Gangstarr as well

Shit, Word’s from the Nutrcracker (last song in Carroll’s part in Goldfish “gonna swim in big bucks like Scrooge Mc duck”

In my era it was Carroll and Koston, no doubt.

These days BDK, Tom Knox, and Shane O’Neill are popping. That’s if they choose their own. I feel they do

Cromer, Dylan.

Cromer uses quite classic but obvious ‘skate video music’ like Modest Mouse and MBV.

Dylan’s had some bad ones - the HUF Berlin section springs to mind.

This man, no contest:

Picture Postcard from the 411 profile to Yo La Tengo in Tilt Mode. The two classic songs in 7 steps, love it all.

Ben Horton (filmer, I know, I know) $lave videos always have an exceptional soundtrack
Baker
Greg Hunt
Chris Mulhern, specifically in Few & Far Between

Other mentions are a Tom Karangelov & Jordan Taylor as they love New Order, Joy Division & Echo & the Bunnymen.

mj is a good pick and that 411 part singlehandedly got me into emo, but let's not forget he skated to she wants revenge...

agree with Cromer and MJ-also, Jerry Hsu

Ed Templeton:

411
The Odd Numbers
Fugazi
Sonic Youth
Butter 08
Jon Spencer Blues Explosion

Think he might have skated to Lungfish too.

Trapasso
Reynolds

BDK
Arto
Louie Barletta

Definitely more that I can't think of at the moment.

If we're talking about best soundtrack fitted to their skating I'm gonna have to pick Miles Silvas. I swear his style fits the hip-hop/trap music (whatever you guys wanna call it) so good

GardenSkater77 · « **Reply #18 on:** April 21, 2023, 10:00:06 AM »

Bibby skating to KRS-One twice is so on the nose.

Also love the parts where he skates to Van Morrison’s Caravan (FTC Penal Code) and then Led Zeppelin’s Traveling Riverside Blues from the La Luz video.

His last part (self produced) is some underground hip hop im not familiar with but the beat is fresh. Perfect fit.

I don’t care for the song from 5 Flavors or his Static II song for his skating. I like the Kinks but they were so overused between 2000 and 2010 that it feels dated to rewatch parts that use Kinks.

MJ is the obvious answer
Always dug Kalis’s music picks
Renaud had some good ones
Mike Carroll
I could prolly keep going but I’ll stop

Ben Kadow + Aidan Mackey
tbh almost everyone on FA / Hockey (andrew allen, ave, dill especially) and GX1000
interestingly enough my favorite video parts of this generation too...

Andrew Reynolds has the best track record of skating to good songs and that's a fact.

Mason Silva is the young upstart.
