[@deeznutz8033]

Skateboarding just isn’t the same anymore. These videos were always super exciting because it took forever for them to come out. They always had good tunes too.

[@DonNoDraper]

👌🔥💯

[@beekuczimacklemore8128]

what bout baker 4

[@gang6009]

Skateboarding is dead like nas said hip hop is dead. Drop a flower in the grave

[@EL-CUCUY310]

Skating died awhile ago the golden age was the early 2000s it will never be like it was. Now they do circus tricks.

[@bifftethertohn9724]

2:21 "Spanky blitzed that in the Emerica video"

[@Thewebdesignking]

I have skated for over 18 years and this is my favorite part ever. Fucking kevin spanky long!!

[@juliodeg.3043]

Fuuuck! This video takes me back to that good times!

[@vet5555]

I miss spanky skating like this. I love his part in made chapter 2 and stay gold but he has such a badass style on rails and stairs. I'd love to see a few shifty flips from him now. Spanky will always be one of my favorite skaters. Hell all of Baker and Deathwish will always be my favorites

[@brandonritchie106]

Wow the gold ole days “big shoes small boards”

[@mr.sandmon5307]

Was always so hard to download the exact version of this song back then.

[@Johnathandoee]

Man... solid times... I miss these fucking days

[@TCSCskater]

Great video and song choice.❤

[@saxenas]

this guy couldve been a goat contender if he kept skating like this

[@towersofmidnight]

This is how skateboarding should be done. Style and flow

[@skate40oz]

One of my favorite parts!!!

[@FingerBrokenBranches]

2:22 Thats what Owen Wilson referenced in his cameo in Yeah Right!

[@ralphmolina635]

Close To Me - Closest Mix - Paul Oakenfold, just found it on spotify

[@raymondzzzzz]

spanky is awsome, when i met him at the skate shop he was cool and chill and he skated his dress shoes it was cool

[@eldiablo3794]

Now all you need is close to me by the cure playing in the background.

[@Thurston86]

I’m pissed that Macba the spot at 3:07 is now a big three instead of the original big four!

[@itsmillerbud5348]

The screen grabs were all over mags when this video dropped

[@Lola0bajo]

[@sk8hubbard]

[@jigawhen]

the exact same thing happened to me at the start of his part with the kick back five-o but my eye swelled up and I had a black eye for almost 3 weeks. I just couldnt flick on the high ledge lol.. but this is such an insane part, all of the parts on this video really

[@AcceptableBread]

[@brandonritchie106]

Idk how I ever did half the shit I did at this time lol, tre flips came much easier, I can still tre flip but back then with a 7.5 you barely had to flip the board and it was going lol

[@subzero308]

[@alypaige88]
