Best Skate Sections Ever

trilogy
After having a conversation about skateboarding with some youths that came into the shop recently I was shocked to learn what videos/skaters seem to get them hyped. Further more it was upsetting to hear that they hadn't even heard of some of the videos that I had growing up. Got pretty emotional to hear one of the kids had never seen of Flip Sorry and Geoff Rowley's section. So because of this I thought it would make sense to put some legendary sections from video's that you may have missed in your era of growing up. So what are the best skate sections ever ? Well let's start of with Geoff Rowley in Flip's 'Sorry' released in 2002...   http://youtu.be/xYg4ertEUeo   Another must see section is Gershon Mosley's from Transworld Skateboarding video 'The Reason' released in 1999. Not only is this a mint part but it also includes some of the most famous spots like the Venice Beach ledges which you may remember from Tony Hawk's pro skater 2.   http://youtu.be/UpegCT3VCYk   Some British heritage next with Nick Jensen in Blueprints 'First Broadcast'. This has to be one of my personal favorites. Jensen is still killing it to this day, you should also check out his shared part with Danny Brady in Lakai's 'Fully Flared'. Being a skater from Manchester England, there's nothing quite like British videos to get you hyped to go skate. Maybe because you can relate to the spots and style of skating more than others.   http://youtu.be/ZBlLNhJAC1s   Next to mix it up for all you gnarly transition skaters out there is Bob Burnquist. An absolute don on a skateboard. Capable of skating all types or terrain from the streets to bowls then vert ramps, this guy has it all. This is his part from The Firm's 'Can't Stop', keep your eye out for his blunt fakie in Barcelona at 1.22 as it is insane!   http://youtu.be/IXuMm7hBNFM   World Industries in 1996 changed skateboarding as they brought 'Trilogy' to your TV screens. Has to be one of the best of all time. It was so hard to choose someone featured in this video as they're all amazing and each part is mind blowing. I decided to go with Kareem Campbell although others worth watching from this video are Marcus Mcbride, Jason Dill, Gino Iannucci, Lavar Mcbride, Ronnie Creager, Enrique Lorenzo, Daewon Song and many more....   http://youtu.be/cC9xemiqzrY   Transworld need to be thanked for the amount of video's they've produced of the years. The choice of skaters that they include in each one has been on point to the date/style of skating to that specific time. One's to look out for are 4 Wheel Drive, The Sixth Sense, Feedback, In Bloom, Are You Alright, to the more recent ones such as A Time To Shine, Let's Do This, And Now, Not Another Transworld Video to their newest Outliers. The one out them all which gets me hyped is 'Free Your Mind' which came out in 2003. Here's Dan Drehobl's part from it....   http://youtu.be/armDAoG-3no   I had to include a part from Jason Dill and which one better than the his in Habitat's 'Mosaic'. Dill is a beast, has been on form since the beginning of street skating. A true legend! You will remember his killer part in 'Mind Field' that was out not so long ago. Also with all the sections I've mentioned they have been taken from an even better video as a whole. So if you get the chance watch the whole thing as the sections I like may not be the ones you do! I hope you find some inspiration because over the years these have kept me as hyped as a hype can be.... SK8 OR DIE moshers x   http://youtu.be/uR7IVUclSso
