I think I've linked to this before. I'm not sweating that.

Anyway, I was 16 when this dropped so, for me, this is basically the ultimate example of skateboarding on video. when this came out it immediately changed everything we did (and changed skateboarding forever, as far as I can tell.)

Matt Hensley from Shackle Me Not.

A couple of other favorites.

Natas Kaupas in Streets of Fire

There are things in this video that still make me shake my head.

Tommy Guerrero from Future Primitive

This is pure skateboarding to me. Brilliant stuff.

MIKE VALLELY – "Public Domain" (1988)

Another one that we copied extensively.

Mark Gonzales Video Days

Best style ever.

Inspired by this SKATE EVERY DAY MetaFilter Post

Yes, the show includes some of my work:

Hit the Deck- SXSW, 2008.3.13 @ Light Bar in Austin, TX

"Sean Waters skates anything well"

wasn't that the truth.

By the way, if any of you skate types have a full collection of Poweredge I'd love to see Sean's appearance again.
