I don't know what it is, but JEH can do no wrong. Las Vegas is not the first place I think of when I want to see interesting skate footage, but he really made it work. He showed the US in a way only an outsider could (like, for instance, filming 16mm in big open parking lots or filming an 18 wheeler with a deli meat ad on it). It displays a slice of Americana from an outsider's perspective and it really works.
