Reminds me of Road Less Traveled, which I prefer greatly over WaB, I feel like it captured more authentically the lifestyles of skateboarding with out crossing the line into corniness.
Speaking of corniness it seems to me after watching WaB if skateboarding is made too clean cut, that it actually starts crossing that thin line into corny territory, like with scooter kids, and longboarders.
I think skateboarding has to stay some what raw, and crusty to uphold its authentic appeal - because that's what set it apart in the first place. It's not like basketball, or golf, or any other sport, once it's all super HD and filmed by helicopters, it becomes just like anything else, and we become athlete jocks again.
I'm not saying that the feeling of brotherhood isn't there, but we don't need to exploit that quality of skateboarding, then it becomes phony.
I say just let the kids who need that escape from mainstream bullshit find skating, and let them discover the experience on their own without having this preconceived idea about it, that's why skating was rad for me, everyone else in life tells us how to behave, and think, and what to believe in, and skateboarding was this crack in the system where you could get away from it all, and just be yourself, and be the craziest fucking version of yourself, and feel fucking cool being you, and not feel pressure to fucking be just like john doe, just cause john doe is a well adjusted, and comfortably living member of the society.
Fuck the society, And fuck john doe! But to each their own
Ps. Perfect gift for babies first skate video!
