Skateboarding Reviews - Videos & DVDs

John Cardiel is an amazing skater. His part alone warrants the purchase of this DVD. But lets not stop there because Dustin Dollin's part killed - even though his name is quite close to that of the guy who played ‘Screech' in the TV show, "Saved by the Bell".

I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the 10 second clip entitled, "Soul Blader". It featured the best footage I've ever seen of a guy rollerblading while holding a skateboard. It's filmed in such a serious manner, it makes me wonder if it's some sort of inside joke or bizarre tribute that escapes my narrow knowledge of fruitbooters in motion.

One day long ago, I was at the Fairfield, CT YMCA skatepark and a rollerblade-Dad was chaperoning his kid and insisted on hovering over him. It's nice to see a father hanging out with his son at the sk8 park, but Dad was pegging the dork-meter. The kid was skateboarding, but Dad - complete with way-too-short shorts and a pair of wrap-around shades - seemed to think that rollerblading in a sea of skaters would create a healthy environment for his son. It did not.

Most of the kids weren't too outwardly horrible, but they got a lot of evil stares and finger-pointing. I felt bad for the kid and vowed never to do that to my son. Right off, I don't rollerblade and I have the good sense to either be cool or keep my distance. But be assured... anyone who messes with my kid is gonna have a bad day.

I've always wondered how parents attending little-league games can get into fights with one another, but then I know I'm the sort of guy who would start a fight if it was my kid getting picked on. But at least I don't rollerblade!

Oh yeah... go buy Sight Unseen. It's a great flick.

John Cardiel is an amazing fucking skater. His part alone warrants the purchase of this DVD. But lets not stop there because Dustin Dollin's part fucking killed - even though his name is quite close to that of the guy who played ‘Screech' in the TV show, "Saved by the Bell".
