New Kilian Martin skate video
There is some pretty good stuff in here, but a 4:11 video doesn’t need a 45 second intro and 30 seconds of credits at the end… The headstand flip at the very beginning and some of the shots using two skateboards are cool, though.
Video of skateboarder falling 31 times while trying to do a backflip
The other night I posted a video of skateboarder Adam Miller doing a backflip down a flight of stairs. Here he is falling 31 times in the couple days before actually completing the trick. He only falls 31 times and it was at fall 22 or 23 I got physically uncomfortable.

How to carry a skateboard while riding a bike
I love everything about this commercial for the Pannier Skaterack. It’s all gold.
100% the best skateboarding video I saw today.
I don’t know what this is, but it’s 100% the best skateboarding video I watched today. Certain clips made me laugh in real life. The first one. The one where the guy is just standing there and then flips over. The one where the guy gets stuck on the roof. In the streetlight.

Fun in the pool with a time lapse, too.
Rodney Mullen 1984
This old school skate video from 1984, featuring Rodney Mullen, is so bad ass. I love it.

Incidentally, 1984 was an awesome year in pop culture and here are some folks talking about it:

Not just for skating
I always like the videos where the skateboard is used for more than just skating on.
