1996

Welcome to Hell
Eastern Exposure 3
Mouse
Trilogy
Seven Steps to Heaven

...and more that I'm not remembering right now.

Something for everyone! Except vert skaters. Sorry guys.

Don't forget Transworld Uno with the Penny chain to bank session. Josh Stewart's Cigar City was pretty good, too.

There's a decent amount of Vert in EE3. Also Real Non-Fiction came out a year later and had epic Gonz and Schaff Vert parts that were likely filmed in '96. '96 was a good year for my own skateboarding also. I'm backing 1996.

I'm a huge EE3 fan being from outside Philly (in NJ) and even I forgot about that vert footage. Good call. And yeah Non Fiction is a heavy one!

So here's 1996:
Welcome to Hell
Eastern Exposure 3
Mouse
Trilogy
Seven Steps to Heaven
Non Fiction
Uno
Cigar City

What a year.

As I suspected it would, this has devolved into “what year had the most tech skate video”. Someone did nail the real answer , whatever year you were 16/17. That’s the whole thread right there.

But back then how else did you measure the level of skating? Thrasher ads?
