VG12 "Battle my Crew" was and still is one of the best videos for me personally. The skill level was insane ! It had such a big impact on my own skating, a super dope soundtrack and different, creative editing. An epic piece of Rollerblading history💙
Road to Nowhere, Leading the Blind, Words, Coup De Tat, and Straight Jacket were all absolutely fantastic. I'm surprised Underestimated, Uncloned, or Masters of Delusion were not mentioned. I also really liked Hyphy, Hyphy2, VG19 and VG20. Another great one was the Shred Til Your Dead edits. Honestly there are too many great videos to list.
Steal This Video - the Jeff Stockwell section was super influential for me. And can’t forget the greatest hammer by EP. WDYBI was a big one - loved Rachard’s section.
Nice. I would add Life+, ground breaking video with filmaking and editing. VG20 The 1st big Chris Haffey section was Mind-Blowing. Also, I wonder if the new generation realise how Godly was Chris Farmer's skating. His big introduction in the Mindgame video with the two sections were jaw dropping. We worshipped him for the next 10 years. Kids should definitely watch his sections. The Vibralux team with trio Broskow - Farmer / Haffey was the ultimate rollerblader's wet dream 😎🔥
Bangers. Yea I do wonder if people know that Farmer can do EVERYTHING and also on EVERYTHING! His trick vocabulary is bananas. Look back at some of the line ups on these vidoes seems so wild
Yeah it is interesting now watching how these guys choose to skate now knowing that they can and have done it all. I don't know if new skaters know how dangerous the things they used to do were.
So good to see someone mention Life +. That was big for the Charlotte scene. James Reetzke is a great guy, it was cool having him as part of the crew. His sections he did for VG were pretty ground breaking as well.
Top notch episode! I wonder why nobody never ever mentions "Transcend" by Beau Cottington from I guess around '98 in this kind of discussions, this was a great video with that epic part on Matty Mantz (with Fear of the dark by Iron Maiden LOL) where he got run over by a car... Well I admit I didn't like his style in general but the way all that was put together was just EPIC... Let allone that intro with the music from "Fitfh Element" teasing the bangers including Jason Marshall trying the Leap of Faith...
I love these crash course introductions to blade history. The culture and passion gives me so much motivation to get out there and practice as much as I can
Great vid once again. Can't argue with any of the names on that list. First VG for me was VG7 which just blew my mind. Such cool, stylish tricks and great music. Brain Fear Gone and Coup De Tat were def on heavy rotation once they came out though.
Love this post. Respect for the RTN shout. Negrete was always so ahead of the trends. Also I will always cite “The Adventures of Mr. Mooseknuckle” as the most groundbreaking video for rollerblading until BFG. It was the first video to have fishbrains, top acids, long balanced backslides, the unity and progressive switch ups like royale to alleyoop topsoul. It came out just a few months before VG4. It also had one of the few TJ Webber sections which is still one of the most stylish parts ever made (IMO). Other honorable mentions: Volume, Transcend, and Perspectives.
I love RTN. One of my personal favourites. Negrete had the vision. The Adventure of Mr. Mooseknuckle is exceptional. So hard picking 10, but a good problem to have 🤝🏻🧡
This video made me find the solution to bring back rollerblading: We need something like Storror, but with rollerbladers. Doing crazy stuff on UA-cam, like skating a car or on a rooftop. 2-3 years later rollerblading will be trending again.
1995 went to Germany for 2 weeks and I bought there Hoax 2. To this moment - 38 years of rollerblading. Started with quads and got my Roces Majestic 12 in 1996. So now I got happiness formula - Hoax2 + Roces M12 + Sony Walkman + Offspring, Bad Religion and Downset = aggressive inline since 1996. And now Xsjado - one love. Have 3 different pairs and waiting for summer.
Love this video and this list, but I think "Noir" is the best Brandon Negrete video. It´s so unbelievable, especially broskow´s section. Music choise and filming is so on point. Great stuff BTW. Thanks for this!
I remember the Hoax and Mad Beef videos. I was 15 in 1995 when blading blew up. I had an anti-rocker set-up on my Wayne Gretzky's haha! I can recall VG3 blowing my mind when it was new. I still bump that Mind Tricks the Body track by Supernatural!
God I remember those Lightning TRS Skates. Can’t believe we were able to grind in them! Made everything way harder in my opinion.Also Champion B was my favorite skater for a while. Lol.
Watching this and seeing KCMO included made me think of 18PLUS. A video everyone (myself included) seemed to hate when it came out. Watched it again last night for the first time since 2014 and quite enjoyed it; the skating is fun and the filming, editing and music is great. Feels like it could’ve come out yesterday. Very much ahead of its time.
Thanks for this Tom! It's difficult to set a "top 10" but I would have included HOAX 3 for sure - although I'm biased since this was the first ever Rollerblading film I've seen
So glad you got KCMO in here! That is the most influential video to me personally! Although, I think something from the MB catalog deserves to be on this list.
Yea MB have defo had an influence but there isn't a video in the list i would replace. I think the 10 have had a greater, further reaching impact than MB.
@@TomMoyse I see what you're saying...at the same time though, while the reach was subtle, one could make the argument that the current state of inline skating, focusing on nuance, and creative ways to engage terrain could be traced back to MB origins. They're the missing link🦍
@@ncbinline6114 It would be traced back to Mindgame and Latimer. I think MB are staunchly into their type of skating. How often do you see people fully skate that way? Not very often. It always just bits, I don't think MB skating has been that widely adopted. It has however been adopted just not in the way the other videos have.
Worth a mention is 2001 ESCOZOO team video Concentration. One of my favorites back in the day for sure. As I remember it, Dominic Sagona did a lot to "legalize" freestyle tricks / purposely not grabbing tricks and tweaking them all out in around this era.
Amazing video It took me back to these good golden era. The first video I saw was "What do you believe in", Shima section, right in the begining I coudn't believe how someone could grind the "sidewalk guide"... And a few moments later I was in shock of how many huge tricks in there. From my top 10 list of videos that changed my perspective (setting a new bar). 1 - What do you believe in 2 - Brain Fear Gone 3 - Words 4 - Straight Jacket (I aways knew as KFC3) 5 - 4x4 - Leading the Blind 6 - 4x4 - Killerboots 7 - Fruitbooter and 2Feet (tied) 8 - EGO 9 - Game Theory 10 - Drip Drop I saw many late VGs, contest Videos like IMYTAs and Einsenbergs Hoedowns... And ASA, Gravity Games and LG Championships on TV. These days were the best
Bryan Bell’s “Streetdwellaz” and “Streetdrellaz II” need some consideration. First Haffey section. Gonzo. Ernie Ramos. Huong Fuong (sp?). Damien Wilson and the rest of the SD crew.
Today, after probably over ten years off and picking it up again toward the end of last summer, I managed to relearn a ton of grinds! Some I thought I would never manage again. And I did so while listening to a playlist of all the tracks from Words.😊
I remember VG6 having a big influence on me, had profiles on Latimer and Kevin Gillan. The music in all the VG series was good as well, put me onto so many new artists. BFG though, jeez that was unreal.
@@TomMoyse Yeah man, remember recording the music off skate vids onto tape and slipping them into the old Walkman. Use to get me so hyped, the music makes you remember the tricks from vid. All of a sudden you think your Billy big tricks!
Great selection, I believe we must have gotten into the sport around the same time and that definitely reflects the era we evolved in. Interestingly enough, you end with one of the very first VOD releases. Would be very keen to see what would be your top 10 (full-length) videos that have come out since!
Thank you. The first couple are just before I started but found them later on. Was though picking just 10 so leant more into what I thought was influential. I did think about doing a VOD/Digital 10 - hopefully get round to it at some point.
I remember seeing Brain Fear Gone for the first time back in 2000, left such an impression on me, more so than any "sport" video I can remember, and that soundtrack... so good.
Took a trip down NYC as a kid and got my first real down rail on the bigger set at the banks.. Unity 180 out.. I was soo pumped.. wish I could get my hands on the footage
KFC3 is my personal favourite, I was always a big fan of vg20 too. And from further back Senate's Day of the Rope. Great choices though, no clangers in there!
VG3’s Roadhouse section was so amazing to me at the time, but before that it was Dare to Air. I watched it every time before heading out skating. Then it was The Hoax, Mad Beef and Harvesting the Crust. These videos had a huge impact on me early on. Anybody remember In the 9’s? Jason Marshall had a great section in that one if I recall. Mr Mooseknuckle?Bryan Bell section. Feeling all nostalgic now. I gotta go check my VHS collection. So many classics!
I happen to live near RollerWarehouse and back when Words came out they did a premiere at my middle school, it was awesome watching it for the first time in a room full of skaters loosing it over each section.
Personally, I think the mushroom blading videos "Cirque Duh SOL Eh?" and "Better Than Baseball" worked their way into people's subconscious somehow. Rewatch one of these videos today and tell me their brand of skating hasn't been super influencial to how people skate today.
I ve seen all movies from the beginning till end One of my favourites: dare to air, damaged goods, hoax 1 and 2, mr noosenuckles and lots of vhs classics more..
Absolutely nothing to argue about your selection. I was waiting for Road to Nowhere which is a favorite of mine. Got goosebumps at the sight of Feinberg secret part. Possible contenders Face the music, Steal this video, one of The Truth videos.
All the videos deserve to be there but I'd argue Mushroom Blading 1 (or their output in general) is THE most influential video to have shaped modern rollerblading. Imagine if MB didn't exist and who's skating now might look completely different or who would just not exist in the blading mainstream. The alternate reality would be really, really different. Certainly a lot more different than if KCMO hadn't existed (I do LOVE that video. I like 18plus more though and would consider that more influential, certainly in regards to curb skating etc)
It’s an interesting one. They are staunchly into their style of skating and elements are very present in modern rollerblading, which is due to the adoption and re-representation of it by more prominent skaters. I don’t think it’s been fully or widely adopted in the same way that say Road to Nowhere Influenced skating. I think it’s rare you see full on Mushroom Blading by lots of people. It’s still quite fringe but maybe because they are so deep into it and the fact it’s had any influence is something. Haha I’m just rambling now
@@TomMoyse Good point and agreed. Although not many people have taken it as far as MB have it's still so widely prevalent (Basin with the wizards in Big Wheels 2, I mean he basically sparked a whole industry of big wheeled rockered frame companies). They're almost always given huge shout outs from the likes of Collin Martin, Kelso's, Torres and a lot of the big current trendsetters. Maybe the weirdness hasn't been picked up as much (not including Beer, Savosin, Robbie Pitts (?) etc.) but certainly pushing the boundaries of what is considered tricks or whatever (Dirtbox/Abel/Blackmore had a big impact on this too I think). Nothing taken away from Negrete's videos though, absolutely massively influential! Forever Now had me totally change my wardrobe and playlist lol!
Day of the rope (also for including BMX), 1131 and/or Freestyle Rolling (because |B|Unique was being unique back than). Also would like to see a summary of RECENT (last 10 years?) video's, including VOD's. We always look back to the haydays of blading, but more recently there are still good classics being made (cayenne project vid's, plastic pushers etc.). While I'm at it, may I suggest perhaps a video idea of all the nuts comps we had? IMYTA, barn burner, FISE, Winterclash etc.
Bangers! Yea thought about a VOD one. There is defo a tendency to lean into the haydays, for that reason, they were the haydays so videos where more impactful. I think the lack of social media also heightened it all. Lots of great VODS these days.
Fiziks Master of Delusions, Underestimated, and We Are Valo 5 definitely deserve a shout out. Every here tried the ol Thread the Needle maneuver after watching Colin do iyt
man the music in coup de tat yeah coup dee tatt lol but that music takes you back shima second section hits home like it was only 20 years ago but it feels like a world away.
Coup de tat, brain fear gone and WDYBI for sure. I also loved Forest Fire which was from that same era. So much music I still listen to today I found through those videos. Half the time trying to find out what the song was as we didn’t have Shazam or Siri to ask haha. Dj shadow - stem, OutKast - atliens etc. Random one.. what was the uk video that had lots filmed at rehab 2? I assume it was a puberty video as it had that crew in it?
Just to back that up…..I think it’s because its got a genuine feeling of an awesome sesh with your mates and used to get me in the mood! But also the music and some of the tech grinds etc. give it a mention sometime maybe. The footage not always the best but like I acknowledge that but that adds to the fact I feel its genuinely filmed by mates pushing each other, not so much thought and more do it n enjoy it.👊also mate never heard em called bogies for a while 🤣💚
Good call on kcmo… labarres section was one of the most influential sections in the last 10 years. Completely changed skating. Under recognized section for sure.
I would have added Poetry in Motion for me personally. That video was right there with BFG for me. Illumination from Intuition would be a close second because of accessible it felt.
Great video! It was so cool to see some of the best VHS and DVD ever. In my opinion, Coup de Tat is the most iconic video ever but Leading the blind has the most insane and technical stunts. Why didn’t you put Killerboots in this top 10?
Hoax 3 doesn't get the credit it deserves. Great soundtrack and it has I believe the first front farv (by Tom Alqhuist) and Jon Julio also does an alleyoop rocket fishbrain!
@@TomMoyse mad beef was the first vhs i bought, started in 92 at the same school louie zamora went to. rancho bernardo high aka one of the best skate spot schools ever
@@TomMoyse there where some outstanding VG video for sure! the first thing i thought when starting your video was "coup de tat", and there was it... :)
Nice shout with KCMO! Not sure bout influential or gamechanging but 4life and shred til you're dead were big ones for me....and mushroomblading of course. Hey, remember life+? oh fuck what about IMYTA? Surely that's gotta be in there. That pretty much made winterclash!
life + is missing... wasn´t it the first skate dvd? i remember it was a big deal then.. also the daily bread video 3 under the influence was crazy good. the whole vibe and the soundtrack was phenomenal... also for2 and for3... looking back i think skatevideos opened a door to the skaters to listen to great music which they otherwise maybe would have never get in contact with..
I dunno if I really wanna count that grind in 1991. He tapped it and if it was longer he was going down for sure. But it's fun to watch. Watching that back then had me convinced royales were impossible
@@TomMoyse Chris is a legend. I don't mind poking a little fun at em. I still use him in aggressive inline. I still wanna learn how to air Half Pipes or quarters so I can do the "airplane" air he did one time being silly in a comp. I always shed a tear thinking of how Arlo isn't in aggressive inline... only two of the skaters in the game are Hella active still. Boekhurst and Morales. The rest sit the Bench. They got the wrong Yasutoko Bro too. I liked Eito then as I was the older brother in my family. Takeshi is the truth as time has shown.
@@TomMoyse I am watching Straight Jacket right now though because I haven’t seen it in a couple years probably and it had one of the greatest soundtracks of any skate video.
Hoax, vg, harvesting the crust and the FR vid where on heavy rotation growing up to get amped and hit the streets, right now mindgame, leading the blind, coup de tat,etc. I'm seeing for the first time a few months ago after a 20 year hiatus from the sport, lol
Good recap-I really can’t quibble with your list, if we’re talking cultural impact/influence. While it doesn’t have that same influence, I’d argue that Concentration is sneakily one of the best videos out there in terms of tricks, filming, editing etc. As for videos released since the death of VHS/DVD, personal favourites are Sober, Spoke$ and some others I’m blanking on…the latest Chance of Rain one maybe
@@TomMoyse if we’re talking VODs then Devotion is the best one in my books. I don’t know how much cultural impact it can have, though, as it sort of exists on its own-it’s a huge signpost and achievement for what a section can be, but it’s damn near impossible for anyone to replicate or mimic something so tough and time-consuming.
Now on my watch list 😂🙏🏽
hahaha - Some great videos to watch. Thanks for the support!
I so appreciate this channel 🙏
Cheers mate - I appreciate the support
@@TomMoyse
You really do a great number for rollerblading bruv. Much love

VG12 "Battle my Crew" was and still is one of the best videos for me personally. The skill level was insane ! It had such a big impact on my own skating, a super dope soundtrack and different, creative editing. An epic piece of Rollerblading history💙
Yea that was a wild one for sure! What was your first VG?
@@TomMoyse VG8 was my first one from Videogroove... "My daily routine" by B. Bell was my first one... RIP 🙏
ua-cam.com/video/hgxKWEnc4p8/v-deo.html
Yes, don!
I had a friend who made a Peld shirt lol
Road to Nowhere, Leading the Blind, Words, Coup De Tat, and Straight Jacket were all absolutely fantastic. I'm surprised Underestimated, Uncloned, or Masters of Delusion were not mentioned. I also really liked Hyphy, Hyphy2, VG19 and VG20. Another great one was the Shred Til Your Dead edits. Honestly there are too many great videos to list.
Yea that’s score - way too many. Really hard picking 10 and dropped out some of my favourites.
yeah hyphy was hard and them old able joints pitty the ones online are bad quality.
Steal This Video - the Jeff Stockwell section was super influential for me. And can’t forget the greatest hammer by EP. WDYBI was a big one - loved Rachard’s section.
Loved Steal this video! Have talked about it loads in the past. Was a big fan of Stockewell!
first video i seen on extreme sport channels was epic
@@unholybiblemachine always got mega excited seeing rollerblading on Tv
VG4 put me onto A Tribe Called Quest and started my interest in making music. Genuinely changed my entire life
VG soundtracks always dictated my music choices 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Pretty repetitive but ‘Harvesting the Crust’ has a special place in my heart.
That's a classic!
I’m pretty old-school, but “Mr. Mooseknuckle” was the most influential to me
Yes! Great shout
Nice.
I would add Life+, ground breaking video with filmaking and editing.

You included Hoax 2 so you did alright in my book.
In the early days I had a steady diet of Hoax 2, Harvesting the Crust and Mr Moosenuckle.
That’s a good diet
Took a trip down NYC as a kid and got my first real down rail on the bigger set at the banks.. Unity 180 out.. I was soo pumped.. wish I could get my hands on the footage

its a French horror film based around y2k and the zombie apocalypse and everone is wearing usds
I happen to live near RollerWarehouse and back when Words came out they did a premiere at my middle school, it was awesome watching it for the first time in a room full of skaters loosing it over each section.
Yea always a great atmosphere with a crowd
Wonderful choice's my friend!🙏
Cheers mate
Allways killin it Tom 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks mate - i appreciate that
Personally, I think the mushroom blading videos "Cirque Duh SOL Eh?" and "Better Than Baseball" worked their way into people's subconscious somehow. Rewatch one of these videos today and tell me their brand of skating hasn't been super influencial to how people skate today.
It's defo become more popular now
I ve seen all movies from the beginning till end
One of my favourites: dare to air, damaged goods, hoax 1 and 2, mr noosenuckles and lots of vhs classics more..
So many great classics
Absolutely nothing to argue about your selection. I was waiting for Road to Nowhere which is a favorite of mine. Got goosebumps at the sight of Feinberg secret part. Possible contenders Face the music, Steal this video, one of The Truth videos.
Yea had all those 3 down, defo big personal favourites. There has been so many great videos over the years. What was your first video?
@@TomMoyse First video : The Bottom Line
All the videos deserve to be there but I'd argue Mushroom Blading 1 (or their output in general) is THE most influential video to have shaped modern rollerblading. Imagine if MB didn't exist and who's skating now might look completely different or who would just not exist in the blading mainstream. The alternate reality would be really, really different. Certainly a lot more different than if KCMO hadn't existed (I do LOVE that video. I like 18plus more though and would consider that more influential, certainly in regards to curb skating etc)
Totally agree. It'd still be hammers and core grinds only if it weren't for Mushroom Blading and Leon Basin.
It’s an interesting one. They are staunchly into their style of skating and elements are very present in modern rollerblading, which is due to the adoption and re-representation of it by more prominent skaters. I don’t think it’s been fully or widely adopted in the same way that say Road to Nowhere Influenced skating. I think it’s rare you see full on Mushroom Blading by lots of people. It’s still quite fringe but maybe because they are so deep into it and the fact it’s had any influence is something. Haha I’m just rambling now
@@TomMoyse Good point and agreed. Although not many people have taken it as far as MB have it's still so widely prevalent (Basin with the wizards in Big Wheels 2, I mean he basically sparked a whole industry of big wheeled rockered frame companies). They're almost always given huge shout outs from the likes of Collin Martin, Kelso's, Torres and a lot of the big current trendsetters. Maybe the weirdness hasn't been picked up as much (not including Beer, Savosin, Robbie Pitts (?) etc.) but certainly pushing the boundaries of what is considered tricks or whatever (Dirtbox/Abel/Blackmore had a big impact on this too I think). Nothing taken away from Negrete's videos though, absolutely massively influential! Forever Now had me totally change my wardrobe and playlist lol!
Day of the rope (also for including BMX), 1131 and/or Freestyle Rolling (because |B|Unique was being unique back than).
Also would like to see a summary of RECENT (last 10 years?) video's, including VOD's. We always look back to the haydays of blading, but more recently there are still good classics being made (cayenne project vid's, plastic pushers etc.). While I'm at it, may I suggest perhaps a video idea of all the nuts comps we had? IMYTA, barn burner, FISE, Winterclash etc.
Bangers! Yea thought about a VOD one. There is defo a tendency to lean into the haydays, for that reason, they were the haydays so videos where more impactful. I think the lack of social media also heightened it all. Lots of great VODS these days.
Fiziks Master of Delusions, Underestimated, and We Are Valo 5 definitely deserve a shout out. Every here tried the ol Thread the Needle maneuver after watching Colin do iyt
Yep all were on the big list. So many good vids
man the music in coup de tat yeah coup dee tatt lol but that music takes you back shima second section hits home like it was only 20 years ago but it feels like a world away.
Yea, the music always heightens the experience
very good channel!!!!! Greetings from Venezuela
Thank you very much!
Sell Your Soul 2 Roll was the most influential in my crew.
🙌🏻
Coup de tat, brain fear gone and WDYBI for sure. I also loved Forest Fire which was from that same era.
So much music I still listen to today I found through those videos. Half the time trying to find out what the song was as we didn’t have Shazam or Siri to ask haha. Dj shadow - stem, OutKast - atliens etc.
Random one.. what was the uk video that had lots filmed at rehab 2? I assume it was a puberty video as it had that crew in it?
Yea skate vids defo informed my musical choices.
UK vid was probably THE METHOD
I watched my vhs copy of VG4 so much that the film tape broke...the music, the skating...all nutty
Nutter fest
You should have added Vicious Sleaze in there. That was a really good video.
Great vid but I don’t think it had more influence than any of the ones I mentioned
saltless water, apart from that bro you raised my serotonin levels beyond normal ranges again
Cant argue with them like. Poetry in motion would have made into my Top 10 somewhere.
Just to back that up…..I think it’s because its got a genuine feeling of an awesome sesh with your mates and used to get me in the mood! But also the music and some of the tech grinds etc. give it a mention sometime maybe. The footage not always the best but like I acknowledge that but that adds to the fact I feel its genuinely filmed by mates pushing each other, not so much thought and more do it n enjoy it.👊also mate never heard em called bogies for a while 🤣💚
Gonna throw one out there that probably should be on this list - Night of the String
Great shout
Good call on kcmo… labarres section was one of the most influential sections in the last 10 years. Completely changed skating. Under recognized section for sure.
Such a good approach to skating 🙌🏻
KRANK from '96 was a key video for me. Up there with HOAX2.
So sick
FOR was definitely dope. If you go to 20 you have to include the B Unique video.
Yea I had B Unique down on a bigger list. Too may good videos
I as waiting for road to nowhere too.. amazing😊
so good
I'm usually more into early 2000s videos, but I gotta mention "Game Theory" as one of my favs fo sho!
Banger! AJ has been behind many great videos
those videos are awesome, Words used to be a real game changer, as the Denial Underestimated vid. I also loved the IMYTA videos
🙌🏻
I would have added Poetry in Motion for me personally. That video was right there with BFG for me. Illumination from Intuition would be a close second because of accessible it felt.
Good that’s there is so many differences of opinion and so many great videos out there
@@TomMoyse I forgot about the KFC stuff. That was a scary era of skating with how big everything got. And Rejects. Woooooooof.
I love your dig at tony hawk 🤣 back when he did his 900 cesar mora was doing 1080's! Yet tony got all the glory
Hahaha 🙌🏻🤝🏻
Great video! It was so cool to see some of the best VHS and DVD ever.
In my opinion, Coup de Tat is the most iconic video ever but Leading the blind has the most insane and technical stunts.
Why didn’t you put Killerboots in this top 10?
Killer boots was on there but think these 10 were more impactful
Hoax 3 doesn't get the credit it deserves. Great soundtrack and it has I believe the first front farv (by Tom Alqhuist) and Jon Julio also does an alleyoop rocket fishbrain!
CLASSIC! went for 2 instead and then VG 4 because I feel like more new tricks went down in it
@Tom Moyse Yeah, VG 4 was definitely a classic! Damn I miss watching skate videos with my friends haha!
@@danielbuchanan2224 get the vids on with the little bit of face time or zoom 🙌🏻
Leading the Blind was the one for me. I still pull it out now and dear god my knees hurt just watching it.
It’s totally bonkers that video! Can’t get over Pat Lennon! What a mad man
@@TomMoyse already rewatching now 😀
@@1DTL hahah good stuff! It was long work putting the video together because I ended up just watching stuff haha
@@TomMoyse you always put a lot of effort and sneaky clips in your videos... Its a good time just watching them.
I think the 540 through the tree by Alex Broskow is the best 540 ever done.
I agree - maybe DLs massive one
pretty much spot on with my personal favorites, FOR2 was the only one missing.
Damm that’s a classic. What was your first video?
@@TomMoyse mad beef was the first vhs i bought, started in 92 at the same school louie zamora went to. rancho bernardo high aka one of the best skate spot schools ever
@@fizace amazing! Ever get a Skate in with him?
@@TomMoyse long long time ago yeah but he was levels above anyone in my crew
Love this "historic" kinda content 👊🏽😶🌫️
Cheers
This list is Very close to mine, definetly all game changing.
Cheers dude. Had to put my personal favs aside and just went for the ones the had the greatest effect
Leading the blind is outstanding
bonkers video
We need more of those symbolisms in videos like what they did with Mindgame and What Do You Believe In.
You should do it man!
hey Yo! supervideo!!! but what about imyta ??? and the VG series??
I mentioned VG. Love the series and IMYTA.
@@TomMoyse there where some outstanding VG video for sure! the first thing i thought when starting your video was "coup de tat", and there was it... :)
great selection, i would add 'Poetry in Motion'
Good choice
Nice shout with KCMO!
Not sure bout influential or gamechanging but 4life and shred til you're dead were big ones for me....and mushroomblading of course.
Hey, remember life+?
oh fuck what about IMYTA? Surely that's gotta be in there. That pretty much made winterclash!
So many good videos out there. Always got hyped for shred till your dead
FIRE DUDE!!!!!
Cheers mate
life + is missing... wasn´t it the first skate dvd? i remember it was a big deal then.. also the daily bread video 3 under the influence was crazy good. the whole vibe and the soundtrack was phenomenal... also for2 and for3... looking back i think skatevideos opened a door to the skaters to listen to great music which they otherwise maybe would have never get in contact with..
Yea lots of music I like comes from videos
VG4 definitely earns a spot on this list. Or VG5.. But what about suitable material?! That was my jam
All classics
Sick video 👍🏾
Cheers dude
Damn you make me feel old. I bet f I dig in the cupboard I've got all those on original vhs.
Classic man! What was your first video?
@Tom Moyse hoax. Was the first i had my hands one. Hoax 2 was the first I purchased.
I dunno if I really wanna count that grind in 1991. He tapped it and if it was longer he was going down for sure. But it's fun to watch. Watching that back then had me convinced royales were impossible
Haha yea wasn’t the best grind but it was the spark that set it off and soon after Chris has hit big rails
@@TomMoyse Chris is a legend. I don't mind poking a little fun at em. I still use him in aggressive inline. I still wanna learn how to air Half Pipes or quarters so I can do the "airplane" air he did one time being silly in a comp. I always shed a tear thinking of how Arlo isn't in aggressive inline... only two of the skaters in the game are Hella active still. Boekhurst and Morales. The rest sit the Bench. They got the wrong Yasutoko Bro too. I liked Eito then as I was the older brother in my family. Takeshi is the truth as time has shown.
I’d add all of Chris Majettes videos and the B Unique videos in there too, at least as honorable mentions.
Yep. Was tough sticking to 10
@@TomMoyse I am watching Straight Jacket right now though because I haven’t seen it in a couple years probably and it had one of the greatest soundtracks of any skate video.
@@CleM-D-K all bangers
I went through a stage of watching words and kfc as soon as I got in for work before I went on my boots lol
You must have been jumping off the roof after that
hoax 2 and then KFC 2,3
🫡
Coming from the east coast vg19 was HUGE! Opinions. Or any majette video for that matter! And FOR2
Bangers
Hoax, vg, harvesting the crust and the FR vid where on heavy rotation growing up to get amped and hit the streets, right now mindgame, leading the blind, coup de tat,etc. I'm seeing for the first time a few months ago after a 20 year hiatus from the sport, lol
Damn, there is definitely a few videos you’ve missed in your time off. Enjoy being back
And number 11 is EGO by Razors. Some of the best skating and the biggest hammers done by the best skate team ever.
for sure!!
Haha I did have that on that list and swapped it out last minute. Incredible video, huge tricks
@@TomMoyse Julian Bah’s disaster hurricane topsoul wishes it was in the top 10 videos 😂😂. Nothing but love from Charlotte, NC
@@ADP8 haha talked about that specific trick in another top 10 video
@@TomMoyse That’s exactly why I used it as my example. Loyal subscriber and love all your content!
Good recap-I really can’t quibble with your list, if we’re talking cultural impact/influence. While it doesn’t have that same influence, I’d argue that Concentration is sneakily one of the best videos out there in terms of tricks, filming, editing etc. As for videos released since the death of VHS/DVD, personal favourites are Sober, Spoke$ and some others I’m blanking on…the latest Chance of Rain one maybe
Cheers man. I appreciate that. NOWHERE Broskow vod is unreal
@@TomMoyse if we’re talking VODs then Devotion is the best one in my books. I don’t know how much cultural impact it can have, though, as it sort of exists on its own-it’s a huge signpost and achievement for what a section can be, but it’s damn near impossible for anyone to replicate or mimic something so tough and time-consuming.
Mint as Per Tom San!! #HWTL
Haha thanks man
Thought maybe Volume would have been mentioned. All great videos on his list though!
Brilliant video
Great choices but I feel nickle n dime with Chris edwards epic fall is one of the best videos in my opinion lol
Good shout
Vg9, hyphy2, masters of delusion, noir, feet.. had too much vids coming to my mind 😅. What about valo4?
Yea the list was mad to begin with, was tough round it down to these but I think they had the biggest impact. VG9 was one of my faves as a kid
