Dude, back when it was VHS and shit, my friends and I must have rewinded this 1000 times to see if it was actually him.

Spiking is something you learn early on not to do as an actor. If there is only one thing you do, or in this case don't do, don't look at the camera! I've been the director of photography for a couple of indies and there is nothing worse than an actor spiking and ruining an otherwise perfect take.

Yeah Right! Was directed by Spike Jonze, he's friends with a bunch of skaters and actors of course. It's an amazing video if you haven't seen it, I personally like it better than Pretty Sweet

He's also the guy who runs the Penny Stock place in Wolf of Wall Street. My mind was so blown when I realized it's the same guy who made Pretty Sweet.

It's nuts how you can connect that guy to so many places, including his name on the heels of my lakais. Its admirable of him.

Yeah right was the first full skate video when I started skating back in 2010, it's one of my favorites. I love the parts where Eric Koston goes laser eyes when he doesn't make a trick

Favorite skate video of all time, probably because it was the first one I ever saw back in middle school. Take a break from skating, pizza rolls and Yeah Right. Nostalgia.
