Jim, I’ve never even met you, never even heard of you when i was fully enthralled by skateboarding, but I envy the hell outta you, your style, and your sobriety. Right on, man. Keep on being!
No way man. Sober from 2003 from smack, I'm 35 now, and it was most important decision in my life. Yes you fight with yourself, but enough of me and "my washed out brain" and wasn't going into any kind of groups cause in my country at that time it was some kind of stigma, BUT Greco find his way out to fight all with his skateboarding and creativity. I like the movie. It is great, it also shows desolation and loneliness in LA, that megalopolis.
Jeremy Hammer AA and NA are almost identical. I know heroin addicts that go to AA and alcoholics that go to NA. And Greco was a crack addict as well. I'm in NA but go to AA sometimes
or maybe it illustrates how lonely you feel when you have not created a family with children at his age. PD and baker got high on their bullshit drugs and now they have the nerve to pity themselves for it
@@trupiil or maybe they are saving the woke youth from suicide showing it can be done and with style since thanks to hospital births, vaccines & radio/t.v/phone frequencies causing cancer lots more kids couldnt procreate even if they were selfish enough to bring a kid into a microwave world..
I know there had to have been some VERY well thought out song choices in this. I would smack my Grandma to be able to watch the whole thing with the uncensored soundtrack.
For me this short movie (not skate video, even if I wanted to be), shows Greco in his own world (but I bet he spends most of his time in Baker Boys Distributions, at the desk). And also shows other side of California, specially LA, city where no one lives there, but everybody are going there. That vast space and emptiness.
Yeah put me in a trance as well...very helpfull to get through the days. J im caught something in theses movies...i like the mute effect. Thanks for the movies...

@Chris Hollandsworth I identify real heavy with this statement- not to sound arrogant or pretentious like I’m a level above everyone else but rather just a completely different level or game entirely lol sometimes another planet but most of time just a different frequency I guess. ADHD/depression/GAD/SUD(opiates/cocaine/benzos etc) and sober for 9 months. Longest I’ve been clean since I first started smoking weed at 11 so I just pray that God willing I will never have to drink or use again and if I do that I survive and get another chance but I think I’ve used most of those up by now and I’m only 26. After my 10th OD I think something finally clicked and I realized I didn’t want to die like that. One love and God bless everyone battling their demons
It's not messed up. Watch "The Way Out." It's the way he edited it. I friggin' love it. These videos are such works of art. Not long ago, my buddy said to me, "You skate alone a lot don't you?" I told him, "Yea, and there are two skaters who taught me how to skate alone. Jim Greco, and Tom Penny." Your friends aren't always going to be there to go skate with. There's a sadness in the brilliancy of these edits. Greco is a huge inspiration for me. He shreds harder now than when he did 15 years ago. Quoting the great Jay Adams, "You didn't quit skateboarding because you got old. You got old because you quit skateboarding."
Legend. I saw him once at a video premiere and he was on some wild shit with this dude in a van who was wearing a scarf and only a scarf.probaby back in his H days...
If Jim made a hundred of these types of skate vids, I'd watch them all again and again! They are soo good they put me in a trance
Yeah... Super captivating films.
Along with the amazing gritty skating, always feeling of loneliness in them.
Yeah my bro i know what ya mean,RESPECT TO YOU BRO,NO MERCY...
Starring Jim Greco, Jeremy Klein, and Jason Lee. Wish all skate films could be Greco films. Pure art.
Jim, I’ve never even met you, never even heard of you when i was fully enthralled by skateboarding, but I envy the hell outta you, your style, and your sobriety. Right on, man. Keep on being!
I felt like I was watching "The Taxi Driver" the 70s movie.....Greco has an eye for film
I was working at the bar behind where he moved the bench the day he did it. so rad
I dont know why but I almost enjoy this edit without the audio, it makes the skateboarding much more raw and easier to relate with skateboarding alone
I am an Italian-American and having spent my childhood in Italy it makes me feel touched to hear some old Italian songs played in the background.
Really turning Skateboarding into film. Love it. Very relaxing and enjoyable to watch. Thank. You
SO ALONE !! The most haunting Johnny thunders song !!
i love this skating, in traffic, with pop, in the backstreets, done by a legend
I here you man,RESPECT........
Man are these powerful=absolutely stunning. He looks like a dancer. Classic payphone reflection shot. Amazing work
so dope!!! jim greco is my favourite!!!
This video illustrates how tedious life feels when you're sober for 13 years.

Greco is in AA

This brings back the old feeling

It is on thrasher
Grecos a rockstar for sure dropping hammers
This reminds me of "the killing of a Chinese bookie" by Casavetas
For me this short movie (not skate video, even if I wanted to be), shows Greco in his own world (but I bet he spends most of his time in Baker Boys Distributions, at the desk). And also shows other side of California, specially LA, city where no one lives there, but everybody are going there. That vast space and emptiness.
He would be at the desk for Death wish but I guess the two go hand in hand anyways. Greco is one of my favorites by far.
Vietnamese iced coffee is life
truth
Spotted that Cocteau Twins snip. Nice.
Yeah put me in a trance as well...very helpfull to get through the days. J
im caught something in theses movies...i like the mute effect. Thanks for the movies...
10:53: The lady driving the car says to her husband "Chuck, I think Al Pacino just went past us on a skateboard?"
i think he looks more like James Caan

Greco fucking snapped.
Hammer down, Jim. Keep on pushing.
hammers sober for 13 years eh? i got 22. clean. you can do it son. you made it through the suicide years (7, 8, and 9)
skate till death
Still trying to figure out how to obtain the exact so alone instrumental 16:45.
I really understand this man,and he done it his way ,jim ,you made it brother ,good times and the bad ,fight those demons ,all have them in sumway respect to you my bro,i understand..it is not easy,but fuck your a dope skater ,you mite not know it but you have helped many of my brothers ,and myself,some dudes will never understand that evil road,you gota be fuckin hard bro to fight it,much love and RESPECT JIM,IM PROUD OF YOU.PEACE TO ALL...........🙏
I'm, still wondering if he cold have stirred that coffee longer?
One question remains unanswered... Can Jim Greco do 360 ollies??
what kind of camera was he using??
did youtube rip off the soundtrack supposed to have music
yeap...but to be honest, this version without the music works so much better...idk why, but it does
Pork chop and a coffee... The end
Greco ‘66
Whata legend
damn he looks like dennis reynolds lol
Legend
My name is Jason Lee!!!
Let me get a porkchop and a coffee.
really cool
Jason Lee!
Life's not this bad sober, maybe if u sit and dwell on it , but most people move on ,especially after 13 years.
Yeah but he might be one of those people that are on such another level that being high is what kept him sane in this mind numbing world.
@@hollands694Well said.

17:15 Just liberated from the concentration camp. Celebrate with kickflip-tail.
I love it lol...
With a Johnny Thunders live performance playing in the background
11:08 WHY ?
Copyrights..
@@gustavocorrea2878 booooooooo!
So Sick, Sublime Skating Sober
is he sober, though?
He is like Lou Reed who's part of the mob.
7:41 fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
cherry coloured funk
has Greco been having relations with Quentin Tarantino if so I get this
Paul C it's more like Martin Scorsese in the 70s lol
I would say more with Vincent Gallo actor/director/producer.
Tarantino? More Scorsese than anything❗️
I as watched this again I’d say more a mixture of Scorsese and John Casavetes .
@@NealDamiano I think he resembles James Caan
Did Jim leave Deathwish.
xx
No egg roll.
why is the audio all fucked up

there must be more than one version, I've seen one with all audio and this one
Snake Forest my all time favorite skaters Tom and Jim
Probably the worst and most pretentious "movie" made

nah
@@joepipisitoface3380 does that mean "blow it out your ass" or are you calling this film a fart?
there's always some dumb ass who can't appreciate art when he sees it
