I wasn't even born yet got this VHS in 99 and was able to watch it for about five years before it was ate by my VCR I can say that the movie has more to do with me eating pavement than Tony Hawk Pro Skater video games just attempting jump steps
Aim 47 and still rolling, its all in your mind bro. I have 10 max 15 years to skate. If my body cant handle it anny more, aim going to do Bob Ross paintings on skateboards lol. There is so manny fun things to do in live!!
@@ChemistryAmsterdam fuck yes! Im 44 in the process of building a diy crete skate spot in my back garden with my 10 year old son. Never to old too have fun on a board even if it might just be pumping around the bowl when im an old dude. Key is dont stop.
This vid came out right as I hit pause on skating after 4 years and got into bmx and didn't see it for years later. This vid really pushed skating into the next next level from the 80s era skills.
Blind was my favorite,man I remember junior high talent show me and a buddy skated in on stage in front of everybody in school it was the first time we got video taped landed everything,man we were so nervous,I was but skating was so fun back then,good times on my old blind board with like no tail at all. Loved it...
James Radski nice! I think mine was a Jim Theibaud (spelling?)... I can't believe I can remember that name, and the graphics were of a superman type on top of a building with a T instead of S. I don't remember why, but there was something special about that board, maybe it was when they started working towards making good noses (they didn't really have noses until late 80's I think). I definitely remember the first board I was obsessed with, the Natas Cat board, that was the tipping point where after that the noses and tails were about equal. I'm going to say that when they started making the noses slightly bigger than the tails, but were the same shape on both ends, THIS was the best design ever! I haven't skated in at least 15 years (except for a few days 8 years ago) and at times I really miss it. There's nothing better than going to your favorite spot, opening the car door and blasting some Dag Nasty, Descendents, Nofx, propagandhi, etc. during a 3-6 hour session with a jug of convenient store brand iced tea, some friends, and trying like hell to land that 360 flip/impossible. And just when you pull it off... "did you see it, did you see it?! I got it!!!" Just to get a sea of vacant stares, and "yeah, we believe you." But you know damn well that you gotta do it again because they ain't buying it! As I sit here contemplating going for one more try, I know it'll only be a disappointment. Not just the time it'll take just to get back to a point where you don't fall of doing a "tic-tac", and Ollie 2+ inches, but all the other things that made it all worth doing. What 40 year old is going to come out with you for 10 minutes, let alone 2 hours? Where are you going to be able to skate without getting the cops called after 10 minutes? What are the chances that your board WON'T be mistaken for a gun, and who's going to cart your bullet riddled body away? It's best left as a memory for me, there's not much left to enjoy after mid 20's. Joy is for the young, and I feel sorry for the young kids today, they'd rather text all day than to do something fun (unless they still fuck. Do teenagers still fuck? That's probably still fun for them, but I think most kids are gay, or bi, so I don't know what kind of weird shit they do with that. Probably too many dicks flopping around for my tastes)
I bet that summer u mentioned is the same summer we all learned a lot. like tre flips off tiny driveway bumps and slow mo backside flips..greatest time for progression
I was pissed that I missed out on Jason Lee's 1stc Blind deck. I ordered it from CCS and was sent his 2nd deck. It had all these wierd animals that looked like a 5 year old drew them, and I remember the nose being pointy. I got Chris Miller's 1st Planet Earth deck shortly after cause I didnt care for that 2nd JLee deck. Wish I held on to all that stuff. Had a TON of the OG smaller indy companies decks and swag
I feel like Jason around the 18:25 mark is having a emotional realization that life (even though he is now rich and famous) was better back then when he was young and free. Life now is a boundless matrix of enslavement and getting worse by the second.
It's true that when watching that video, it really made me want to go skating immediately! Back in 1991 it was totally astonishing to see the type of tricks they were doing, and so inspiring. Even to this day it's still an amazing skate video!
i always loved the shot where Mark Gonzales lays down on his board and goes through the intersection. I think they showed that part in the movie Kids if im not mistaken. i had seen it before that but seeing it in kids had me so hyped. i never could lay down on a board like that i tried for years
When this came out, almost none of us had seen Guy Mariano since winter 89/90's Ban This, and my god, Video Days was a long needed breath of freshness given the crop of vids at the time: Propaganda was a bold, brave move by Lance Mountain to keep the ball rolling, but with mixed results (for all of their cinematography, the Powell vids always seemed rushed, the riders seemed under-represented (at least the ones we wanted to see), and making the riders dress in the same clothers over different days sure didn't help. H-Street gave us a fucking EP/trailer and then split up the team into Planet Earth and Life while the riders we all wanted to really see at the time moved on to Plan B with Ternasky. Vision struggled for air with a smaller team and visibly lower production values. Santa Cruz/NHS decided to pad things out with a lot of included (but undesired) raw footage (although they did make up for it with a sick soundtrack). A few smaller labels kept up the tech standards and introduced new riders (like New Deal with Rob Dyrdek and Blockhead with Rick Howard). I don't recall seeing anything from World, but much later since have seen the Dune/Colvin promo. Even though Jason Lee and Mark Gonzales days of being the fresh new guys were behind them, they still delivered quality skating. Of course this is Mark's finest hour, artistically and technically. To this day, hearing the Jackson 5's "I want you back" fills me with memories of seeing a noseblunt slide and something late-shove-it'ed for the very first time. Probably the best made and conceived skate video of all time
yeah Video Days brought us into the modern era for sure.. We all knew Powell & the SantaCruz vert guys we're dorks. Yeah we had H-street but... IMO this was the last video that truely changed my skating.. Useless Wooden Toys a lil bit but we were already skating that way when NewDeals video dropped.. We weren't skatiung on this level when video days dropped. I was barely motivated from Questionable.. DANNY WAS GNARLY but i thought 360's we're kinda lame. MY 1ST deck was a danny ways. ive forgotten what graphic it was. I THOUGHT IT WAS A GIANT HOLDING A GIANT HOLDIN..... BUT THEN I saw the one that says "One Way kinda wrapped around & i thought that was it.. I remember having the Grosso Wonderland probably right before that. Going by nose size as a measurement of whaen. IMO the danny Way had a larger nose but i lost the memory..bah!
It was a great video,so many good things happened in the nineties I wish they would had never ended, the everclear song where he says I want to go back,back,back in time comes to mind and go skate....
I watched this video daily until 1993/94ish, then in 95 when the movie "KIDS" came out I noticed they were watching it, and I got all pumped up, so I dug it out and studied it for a few more years,then i lost it in 99, then in 03 i downloaded it and have been happy ever since , how rad would it be if they made a reunion video, everyone that could anyway, lee can still do a mean 360 flip
Blind Video Days was my first skate VHS it got ate by the VCR for saying it looked like something filmed in the mid to late 70's it is just a nostalgic memory the hazy look makes it feel more like proper nostalgia
You’re still young with the world ahead of us all, just give it some time and it’ll maybe die out or have an explosion. Time will tell but whatever it’ll be we gotta stay dedicated to this pleasing to the heart activity and keep pushing till we’re forced to sit down and watch the youngins grow and frolic to evolve this beautiful thing. Change comes everyday.
You could see how Jason missed those days! I saw that vid a 100 times. So do I. It was the last time anyone felt free and things were simple. After that .......
to Jason lee...I tried a nose blunt slide one time and slammed on my hip..never tried it again LOL .....one thing im most happy about..i could never do nose slides and pop into krooked grinds in my younger days ....I didn't get them until I was in my late 30s ..... .. never stop skating folks
They innovated, so we would have been at the same level, trying to imagine what’s possible... nowadays there’s an entire blueprint to skating that didn’t exist... wanna hear how old I am? I had to READ in order to Ollie lol nowadays you can watch this in slow mo...
Michael Leon, the global creative director of SONOS, former global creative director of NIKE, etcetera, along with Tremaine or Jenkins ?, produced that MILK CD. I still have a copy of it somewhere .... We, Michael and I, were kids skating in Winston-Salem North Carolina, then Michael goes out to Torrance to CalArts and starts working at Girl and hooks up with one of those guys because we all loved that MILK score on J.L.'s part and Michael produced a record just because we loved Knife Song so much! Hey Michael if you're out there, and if you have not completely disowned your past, I'm still alive mofo
I enjoy the camera work, titling, and skateboarding. Gonz. He's brilliant. After this film, I searched everywhere for a MILK record; we just recorded it off the TV and listened to it driving downtown to shred. (couldn't have sounded shittier. 1991/2. What are you going to do?)
I saw gonz try ollie fs big spin off quarter to land boards slide down the side of bank high as hell. On one of those quarter banks they had at contest . in chicago shoot out in the 80s on vision. So far ahead of his time . mid 80s ! No body knew what a f.s big spin was on street yet. Saw it my own eyes .
To say this video was game change is an understatement for sure. I was probably tyhe same age as Rudy(17) when this dropped and had 2-3 years in by this point. We could kickflip on & off of stuff and into boardslides but my god was this video mindblowing because it was the 1st time alot of people(regular dudes) got to see a Modernized Gonz part. *we didn't have any footage of Gonz. But we all knew he was the godfather of 'modern' street skating and changed street skating from that dorky Steve Cab + Hosoi style of long hair with cut up shirts & surfer style and The Gonz & Matt Hensley we're what most kids in most suburbia we're really like.. ~Even Though The Gonz was the Guru, and Rudi was so Advanced & GuyMariano being that overly talented lil kid whos way better then you & Jordan being that always down friend= Jason Lee instantly became the most popular skater on the planet.. Not even close to anyone else... Everyone at skateparks had Jason Lee decks. The shape was so fun to skate & people we're blown away by how clean and smooth his style was.. Jovante is just as smooth but imo the diference is Jason Lee was punk(Like Hensley and therefore more relatable.. ~We were doing laot of backide kickflips over manholes at the time and really hard flicked TreFlips. EVERYONE started landing a lil shifty like. You know with the back truck landing slightly sooner then the front and then you control lower the front. It feels good, control.. It's my opinon that bLind & Video Days woulda happened & been better without Spike Jonez.. I know he was a great photographer & legend tells of him doing a fakie hardflip in the rain in flipflops after getting off a plane(true legend) but i never liked what he did post bLind. as far as style. And it made me wonder what-if. What-if someone else motivated The Gonz or Rudi etc.. whatevs,,just a thought...

I was 59 when this came out. Just got back from my 2nd tour, and this was great. I'm 107 now and watch Video Days every night at 3am.
I wasn't even born yet got this VHS in 99 and was able to watch it for about five years before it was ate by my VCR I can say that the movie has more to do with me eating pavement than Tony Hawk Pro Skater video games just attempting jump steps
Jason looked like he really misses those days at the end. i thought he was going to cry, I don't want to get old either buddy.
Aim 47 and still rolling, its all in your mind bro. I have 10 max 15 years to skate. If my body cant handle it anny more, aim going to do Bob Ross paintings on skateboards lol. There is so manny fun things to do in live!!

I'm 40 and skate with my kids still
@@ChemistryAmsterdam Bob Ross on a skateboard?! take my money!!
i think heaven will have skateboarding

This video changed the course if my life. And getting to skate with Gonzo and Lee and several occasions was always mind blowing
The first time I landed a ollie impossible was on jason lee's blind board, cat in the hat! I was so syked.
James Radski nice! I think mine was a Jim Theibaud (spelling?)... I can't believe I can remember that name, and the graphics were of a superman type on top of a building with a T instead of S.

scottbaylo the sma thiebaud joker board. I had that deck too.
I bet that summer u mentioned is the same summer we all learned a lot. like tre flips off tiny driveway bumps and slow mo backside flips..greatest time for progression
That's really awesome. Impossibles where the "trick" to do back then. I also learned them riding Jason Lee Blind Cat in the Hat.

the music alone shaped everything.
It's true that when watching that video, it really made me want to go skating immediately! Back in 1991 it was totally astonishing to see the type of tricks they were doing, and so inspiring. Even to this day it's still an amazing skate video!
Watch multiple times every now and then in the last decade. Back in the days I watch the Blind video everyday to startup our skate sesh.
i always loved the shot where Mark Gonzales lays down on his board and goes through the intersection. I think they showed that part in the movie Kids if im not mistaken. i had seen it before that but seeing it in kids had me so hyped. i never could lay down on a board like that i tried for years

They are watching it during the Whip-its scene haha

IMO this was the last video that truely changed my skating..
Useless Wooden Toys a lil bit but we were already skating that way when NewDeals video dropped..
We weren't skatiung on this level when video days dropped.
I was barely motivated from Questionable..
DANNY WAS GNARLY but i thought 360's we're kinda lame.
MY 1ST deck was a danny ways. ive forgotten what graphic it was.

Crazy how many creative people were involved with this video that have gone on to have careers past skateboarding!!!!
Rad... throwback for sure.. Loved Rudy's style back then
I watched this video daily until 1993/94ish, then in 95 when the movie "KIDS" came out I noticed they were watching it, and I got all pumped up, so I dug it out and studied it for a few more years,then i lost it in 99, then in 03 i downloaded it and have been happy ever since , how rad would it be if they made a reunion video, everyone that could anyway, lee can still do a mean 360 flip
You've probably already stumbled across it but they all made a reunion video in 2011.
The era of indie skateboarding and indie rock that began with Video Days and ended with KIDS. That was the sweet spot.
if you have the blind what if video, video days is hidden on the DVD. it's the whole video by the way
Blind Video Days was my first skate VHS it got ate by the VCR for saying it looked like something filmed in the mid to late 70's it is just a nostalgic memory the hazy look makes it feel more like proper nostalgia
I started getting serious about skating in 89-90. The early 90s were definitely the best time to be a skater!
Out of all the skate videos out there, this one always gets me hyped to go skate the most....
I was 13 when this came out. Life was great. Skateboarding has rippers today buy no personality. Sad. As long as it's fun whatever
@Matteo Ricci checkout shredmaster keith
I'm 13 and I'm gonna skate old school boards till I die
Sammy Baca and braydon Safranski. The personalities of these 2 are one of a kind. I know from personal experiences.
You’re still young with the world ahead of us all, just give it some time and it’ll maybe die out or have an explosion. Time will tell but whatever it’ll be we gotta stay dedicated to this pleasing to the heart activity and keep pushing till we’re forced to sit down and watch the youngins grow and frolic to evolve this beautiful thing. Change comes everyday.
Go back to bed old man
learned so many tricks from this video
You could see how Jason missed those days! I saw that vid a 100 times. So do I. It was the last time anyone felt free and things were simple. After that .......
I love the channel name more than anything.
In the Old Days, you could tell how consistent a skater was by how many tricks they did in the same cloths during their video part.
Even though I saw it for the first time 8 years after it came out, man... Bordering on a religious experience.
You're welcome glad you like it. : )
I Wuv you
the golden fucking years of skateboarding
to Jason lee...I tried a nose blunt slide one time and slammed on my hip..never tried it again LOL .....one thing im most happy about..i could never do nose slides and pop into krooked grinds in my younger days ....I didn't get them until I was in my late 30s ..... .. never stop skating folks
Remember being blown away by how much guy Mariano had improved since Powell
The best skate video ever was 'Video Days.'
Doc's/skateboarding 🔥🔥💯👏
My two favorite ❤️ s
Blind ~ "Video Days" (1991) HD
one of the best!!!
Jereme Rogers is so young, bet he wasn't even ripping magnums yet. Swag
Jason Lee was my ultimate favorite skater in the late 80’s early 90’s
Spike jonze and Jason Lee Damn..
thx for this upload :)
Jeremy And P Rod were so young 😭
Who's your favorite skater in the video? Stevie Williams. Jereme Roger's was a kook back then and still is!
skate history gold
I love how Ty says skateboarding is awesome.
man those were the days... great. thanks and where did this come from?
On Video Summer 2003
best skate vid ever.
My first complete was made with a jason lee stereo deck from 1994.. Blind begat 60/40 begat krooked rest is history
Unreal how much skating has evolved. I'm sure the majority of us these days could have easily made a pro team back then
They innovated, so we would have been at the same level, trying to imagine what’s possible... nowadays there’s an entire blueprint to skating that didn’t exist... wanna hear how old I am? I had to READ in order to Ollie lol nowadays you can watch this in slow mo...
6:38 I remember that kid from the movie KIDS.
Anyone know how to get this gravy stain off my iPhone screen ?
I just watched Jason’s part the other night for the first time in like 20 years. Never realized he skated goofy.
My battety is at 91%. What a coincidence. I should buy a lotto ticket.
without gonz and jason lee and ray barbee (and mike v etc) NONE OF US WOULD SKATE STREET, these dudes literally changed skating
Yup but you’re forgetting TG, Natas AND most of all RODNEY MULLEN❗️
Anyone knows more tracks from this documentary? :)
hahaha prod and jereme back in 2003 what a trip
Spike stuttering at 21:09 hahaha
and no one mentions where gonz is??? how do you make a doc and not get him involved??? huh?
yeah a lot was weird about this.
Like Rocco,Gonz,Danny,aND Spike oculdnt even show up...
whatevs....Goodtimes..
He'd steal the show.
Michael Leon, the global creative director of SONOS, former global creative director of NIKE, etcetera, along with Tremaine or Jenkins ?, produced that MILK CD. I still have a copy of it somewhere .... We, Michael and I, were kids skating in Winston-Salem North Carolina, then Michael goes out to Torrance to CalArts and starts working at Girl and hooks up with one of those guys because we all loved that MILK score on J.L.'s part and Michael produced a record just because we loved Knife Song so much! Hey Michael if you're out there, and if you have not completely disowned your past, I'm still alive mofo
I always thought the car crash footage was like a stunt b roll or something not that they actually crashed that car.
Pioneers
Gonz Lee such influential Legends the whole crew , they set the president for the unfiltered skater world wide.....
Thanks so much for this is dope ah
Filmed by Andy Anderson! Epic
That ending was pretty f****** kookie!!! I thought Jason was going to cry and then it just went into a very strange slow mo.
🤔
But it's a great doc
Nice Enon track for BG music !
Love for the blind
Colors skateboards
THESE WERE GREAT YEARS FOR ME 86 THREW 91 WERE MY SKATEBOARDING DAYS WISH NEVER QUIT .... WORST THING I EVER DID
THE BEST MAN!!!
what song plays during jason lees part
LOL the dude from alvin and the chipmunks
Memories!🤪
I enjoy the camera work, titling, and skateboarding. Gonz. He's brilliant. After this film, I searched everywhere for a MILK record; we just recorded it off the TV and listened to it driving downtown to shred. (couldn't have sounded shittier. 1991/2. What are you going to do?)
Can someone tell me the name of the band in Richters part, can not read the name in the end. Like it!
fuck the 90s - so dooshy - stuck in 87 forvever
ANYBODY KNOW NAME OF SONG AT 6:37?
I love when you see a comment that's like "Jason Lee was a pro skater?" Hahahaha J Lee is OG as fuck...he was a legend before Mallrats kids
76 curb footage is bad ass !!
Anyone have any more info on how those titles were done? Spike talks about it around 6:25
What's the song's name in Lee's part??
love love love
Paul is so cool.
please what is the photo at 2.50?
Who knows the song of the cool guitar riff in the very beginning of the video?
Does anybody know the song in Jason Lee’s part??
Soo dope!!!
Help I can't see said video??:)?
Before spike jonze went full hipster, he made the greatest skateboard video not named Animal Chin, of all time.
Well put.
yeah you said that same shit on the Blind Video Days post. Come up with something new.
Is becoming a great director mean hipster. ignorant comment as fuck
Animal Chin was directed by Stacy Peralta in 87. Spike hadnt even shown up until 89 when Rubbish Heap came out
The end credits are confusing. Not stuff from Video Days. Was that just a bunch of random shit, or ?
The cat in the hat Jason Lee I remember
Rudy seems like a cool dude.
Ticking on time
I saw gonz try ollie fs big spin off quarter to land boards slide down the side of bank high as hell. On one of those quarter banks they had at contest . in chicago shoot out in the 80s on vision. So far ahead of his time . mid 80s ! No body knew what a f.s big spin was on street yet. Saw it my own eyes .
Tom Green sighting at 18:56.
To say this video was game change is an understatement for sure.
I was probably tyhe same age as Rudy(17) when this dropped and had 2-3 years in by this point.
We could kickflip on & off of stuff and into boardslides but my god was this video mindblowing because
it was the 1st time alot of people(regular dudes) got to see a Modernized Gonz part.
*we didn't have any footage of Gonz. But we all knew he was the godfather of 'modern' street skating and
changed street skating from that dorky Steve Cab + Hosoi style of long hair with cut up shirts & surfer style
and The Gonz & Matt Hensley we're what most kids in most suburbia we're really like..
~Even Though The Gonz was the Guru, and Rudi was so Advanced & GuyMariano being that overly talented lil kid whos way better then you
& Jordan being that always down friend= Jason Lee instantly became the most popular skater on the planet..
Not even close to anyone else... Everyone at skateparks had Jason Lee decks.
The shape was so fun to skate & people we're blown away by how clean and smooth his style was..
Jovante is just as smooth but imo the diference is Jason Lee was punk(Like Hensley and therefore more relatable..
~We were doing laot of backide kickflips over manholes at the time and really hard flicked TreFlips.
EVERYONE started landing a lil shifty like. You know with the back truck landing slightly sooner then the front and then you control lower the front.
It feels good, control..
It's my opinon that bLind & Video Days woulda happened & been better without Spike Jonez..
I know he was a great photographer & legend tells of him doing a fakie hardflip in the rain in flipflops after getting off a plane(true legend)
but i never liked what he did post bLind. as far as style. And it made me wonder what-if.
What-if someone else motivated The Gonz or Rudi etc..
whatevs,,just a thought...
🔥
Drugs are quite good, aren't they?
@@joedent3323 As good as clowns online.
aw man jeremy rogers is cringy whyd he even get an opinion in this doco :(
He just acting like he was too cool for everything fuck that dude
It's Earl!
God p-rod🤙🏾
Anyone know the song at 4:15???
Remember my mate had the Gonzales macaroni and cheese slick
