Folks, I am looking for a Christmas gift for one of my students. He is a 15 year old avid skater and I’m looking for the best skateboard video for him. Possibly a video/book combo because I’m trying to encourage his reading. Any help or suggestions would be extra appreciated.
Dogtown and Z-Boys.
You forgot to list the titles he already has.
If you really want to encourage his reading, buy him the best skateboarding book. There must be some good/interesting ones out there…
if you are looking for some great skateboarding DVD’s
heres a few.
-almost round 3
-the DC video
-blind what if
-baker 3
-DVS skate more
those are the best i know.
hope it helps.
and if you want to encourage reading i suggest a magazine subscription.
to thrasher.
Enjoi bag of suck, THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO EVER…except for dogtown…i think theirs a book to go with dogtown…but dogtown isn’t really a skating video, it more the rise of skating…
i used to skateboard and i wuld defintelty recomend the DC VIDEO or this other video, i dont remember the name of it but i think its by GIRL skateboards and they have like invisible boards on it, its pretty cool.
Are you like a skool teacher or what?
haha i thought the dc video sucked…havent seen the girl video, should be good tho, the go mike rogers, koston and mcrank…
The Search For Animal Chin
Everyone who claims they’re a skater should have already watched this classic Powell-Peralta flick.
It shows the genesis of the first generation of skaters, and it carries the greatest message that can be conveyed by the sport: Skateboarding Is Fun.
Plus, you get to see some of skateboarding’s greatest in their youth, shredding some supremely sick pipes.
Get this movie, or don’t bother getting anything else.
really? i though the danny way part at the end was crazy, now its not all that special now though cus everyone does it in the x games
I second this!
The best skate vid i have seen is definately Almost round 3.The filming and music just fit in so well !
It’s called “Yeah Right!” I have it, it’s great. Amazing music coordination, and invisible boards in certain parts.
It’s a great video.
SHAKE JUNT
Thanks for the help. What are the best magazines? I’d like to recommend a subscription to his parents to encourage reading, but I’d like to do the best one.
the best written one is transworld ( and my favorite) most people like thrash tho
