Skateboarding Reviews - Videos & DVDs

When you see a title like this, one expects to see unbridled slams resulting in compound fractures and all sorts of atrocities. Not so with 911 Emergency. Although the intro sequence is very disturbing, this is pretty much a typical Thrasher skate video - It rocks!

The intro disturbance shows a bunch of drunks leaving a bar and a skater in separate sequences. Finally the two meet up and the skater gets run over by the drunks. This sets up for several scene-breaks where we get a quick glance at the skater in the ambulance. Well shot footy - again, very disturbing. Don't get hit by cars... it looks like it sucks.

Ice-T shows up on the floor of some sk8 trade show and does an impromptu rap for the Thrasher camera. Stuff like that makes you feel like YOU were in the right place at the right time. There seems to be a noticeable focus on random hot chicks at various events from a vert contest to the Brazilian beaches. Always good to capture the hotties on film.

The whole flick is filmed in montage format with a ton of skaters. Everyone is in the mix somewhere. Then there is the usual trick tip segment with the sketchiest minimal detail on how to do a variety of tricks. Following at the end is the slam reel showing all the juicy flails and bails... some requiring 911.
