Classic Videos - Transworld Sight Unseen

  transworld_sight_unseen_full     Transworld's Sight unseen was released back in 2001, put together by Jon Holland and Greg Hunt ,this was the twelfth installment of what was a continuing series of Transworld videos being released every few years or so. Even today, Sight Unseen remains the how - to when it comes to making proper skateboard videos, from John Cardiel setting the standard for all - terrain skating to Tosh Townend's break out part, the craziness of Dustin Dollin to Heath Kirchart's epic part to the beautiful piece of music that is 'Nights In White Satin'. Then topping it off with Henry Sanchez coming out of retirement to give it his all for one last section for the skateboarding world. It was one of those videos that I watched when I was younger and was totally blown away, the skating, the spots and the soundtrack are all bang on. Another great thing about this vid and pretty much the majority of Transworld videos is that they keep it simple, focusing on the five main skaters, John Cardiel, Henry Sanchez, Tosh Townend, Dustin Dollin and Heath Kirchart. For me, its all about that Heath section, don't get me wrong Cardiel is a legend and Dollin's section is proper raw but Heaths is next level, from that first switch flip down the stairs, to that incredible backside nose blunt down that square rail! This was the time before all the Street League hype and numerous internet clips that we see today. For me it's a timeless classic. And now thanks to the wonders of the internet it's here for your viewing pleasure! Get the kettle on, put your feet up and give Sight Unseen half an hour of your time, you wont regret it!
