Skateboarding Reviews - Videos & DVDs

Up For Grabs, the newest release from 411VM is free and includes art direction from Uncle Geez (5Boro, Zoo York). Hard to say why it's free, but just accept it as fact. You can find copies at your local sk8 shop of at some of the larger mail-order shops online.

It's hard to argue with the price, but sometimes "free" isn't a god thing. Like when a free item sucks ass - that's not good. Fortunately, this is not the case. Clocking in at only 30 minutes, just remember how amazing Chad Bartie's part is - before you start bitching.

Flat-packed and straying from the newer format, this version of 411VM doesn't include the virtually useless zine (chock full of ads) or the fabulous folded up posters. Just a piece of cardboard and a damn good skate vid. That's all you really need, right?

In scaling back the format for the freebie, 411 did away with some of the hokey titles and stuff and just churned out a cool 30 minutes of skating. Terell Robinson talks about his Compton roots and how skating saved him from gang life... Good thing - cuz that kid can skate! Nate Sherwood is inane and goes way beyond any necessary measures to prove it - complete with impromptu home-made rap song. The highlight of the whole thing was Chad Bartie's part. He kills pools and all sorts of street obstacles. Makes the whole disc worth it... even though it's free.
