2006 was a great year for watching skate videos online and here are my top ten videos. I’m sure I am leaving some great stuff out, but this is what sticks out in my head as being the best of the year.
Plan B. Live After Death.
Twelve minutes of serious shredding from one of the sickest teams in skateboarding.
Rob & Big on ifilm
When Rob & Big came out I didn’t have cable so this was the only way for me to see the show.
Lewis Marnell footage from Cheese & Crackers
Not throw away footage, but a legit full video part.
The Skate Fairy HD mini ramp footage
Koston and Carrol skating a mini ramp in beautiful HD. Is this the future of skate videos?
Sheldon Meleshinski video part.
For many this was our introduction to Zero’s latest addition and he came onto the scene with a bang.
The Field Log from Habitat
Updated very regularly with plenty of fun footage chronicling the production of the upcoming Habitat video Inhabitants.
Girl Yes We Canada.
The bonus footage of Sean Malto at the end is just icing on the cake of this excellent video.
The Lizard King Pro Video
The Lizard King turned pro and debuted with a gnarly online video.
The Beautiful Losers Documentary
This video is a must for anyone interested in the Skate art world.
The Wet Boys 2005 video
While technically made in 2005 it didn’t come to light until this year and everyone who saw it was reminded of how fun skateboarding really is.
Honorable mentions go out to Deluxe and Strange Notes for consistently putting sick videos online.
