The music,video quality,overall style and vibe..so much nostalgia,god I miss the 90’s, especially early 90’s.Jason lee was killing it.

[@Widderic]

I think a lot of people sleep on the fact that these early gen short boards were unforgiving. Jason Lee was indeed ahead of the curve and ahead of the trend with his tech tricks. I assure you it's not easy to pull those moves off on those old boards.

[@skeven0]

aka the 89 Mike V "barnyard" shape

[@pine1780]

You can watch people try new tricks on older boards and they struggle so much. But its still possible. Meaning these guys were really putting in the ground work for modern skating.

[@christisking970]

​@@skeven0these boards still had the square tail and pointy nose. Also they were still using big wheels and risers

[@technofaza]

yeah obviously mullen did it first but he was a freestyle skater, jason was (one of) the first to bring that one to street skating

[@CT-nb5lm]

It was a game changer. The Powel & H-street videos were cool but this one made us stoked. Questionable was different. NONE of us could be like Pat Duffy so it didn't get us 'stoked' to skate because we couldn't 50/50 handrails. Most was board slide em & even then it had to be low rails. But skating smooth was something we could do. Control our backside kicklips over manholes and landing it w/ swag was doable & my god what a year.. ANother part almost like this was Ed Templeton in NewDeal.. How ironic that Templeton & JasonLee grew up together... FU Ed Templton! Your Oliie Imposibbles with razor tail are painful when they stab you back foot when you land on the truck stabbing you.

[@beyondthegong]

Jason Lee & Hüsker Dü?? Yes please!!

[@djdazzydeaf7568]

Watching Jason Lee skate vids reminds me so much of my old days of skating, nothing too technical and just cruising around and having fun with mates.

[@villiantwo]

@@awesomebillfromdawsomevill7788 same, a little before my time. but Guy Mariano's been my favorite skater since a kid. and was unbelievable to see how good he was at such a young age. truly a skate prodigy.

[@jamieelfers3151]

Right here!

[@pjchmiel]

Amazing part from one of my all-time favorite videos, Jason had a wonderful style. And man, that kick drum is turned up to 11 in the Milk song...just noticed it really sticking out on a new computer with better speakers than my 19" tube TV used to have.

[@SadButTrue273]

its because its a rip of an old VHS. lots of pops.

[@chrismathewsjr]

there's an audio engineering phenomenon where tape heads often give a ~200hz bump to everything, and a lot of kick drums have the "thud" in that area. i think new speakers these days exemplify it. lots of devices to mimic that type of behavior too. i have a pair of Rupert Neve 542s on my bench that have actual 1/4" tape heads in them for these types of things.

[@evilldead6824]

[@mikecynic5167]

Jason's got style dude. Nobody gives a fuck about what you're doing if it doesn't look good. You may be able to do the same tricks, but can you do them like he can?

[@-dfh-866]

Celebrities learn how to do the bare minimum on a skateboard and become pro, bc companies can make money off their name. It doesn't have much to do with skill or style anymore. Ig models learn how to pop a low Ollie, film it, put it on social media and bc they're fun to look at for most dudes, they get the spotlight when in reality, actual skaters clown on those kinds of people. People like us MIGHT get flowed. But we are expected to break our bodies in half bc of what kids do these days.

[@mikecynic5167]

@@-dfh-866 Oh I totally agree. The Lil Wayne shit is fucking stupid, Jason Lee can skate though. His part in Video Days still holds up to this day. Mark Gonzales and Jason Lee's part in video days beats anything coming out now.

[@sidvicious332]

You would definitely get sponsored for a video like this. I've literally seen it. Sponsorship doesn't mean they'll just hand you money but they will still give you a couple decks maybe with some bearings or wheels plus advertisement stickers for something like this. Especially with the vert skating. A street and vert skater? They'd probably send some shoes and shirts too. The point of sponsorship is that you advertise for them as you film your future sessions. There's also very different levels of sponsorship. So no, what you think is not true sir.

Jason was my first inspiration for skateboarding. I found out about his skateboarding background back when he played David Seville in the chipmunks movie.
