: 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.
Thanks a lot i will check that out.
