those are the two "big" ones... i'm not sure if they are the only ones.
Stereo was the skateboard company that jason started with Chris Pastras and the "stereo presents...a visual sound" is one of thre greatest things i have ever seen. it took the notion of "skater kids" being nothing but juvenile delinquents and punk rock kids and threw it on its ear. Shot in B&W with a nice jazz soundtrack and little montages of all the skaters doing things OTHER than skating (i.e. riding a bicycle through the park, reading a newspaper at a coffee shop, playing trumpet (i think it was a trumpet that pastras was playing), etc.).
Blind Video Days was filmed by Spike Jonze and has a running story that bookends the entire video with interludes to introduce each skater. We get to follow the Blind stable through a reckless day of driving (while drinking... including the obviously too young Guy Mariano) which ends much as we should expect. The final credits are pretty funny.
