Those fine gentlemen at The Stereo Sound Agency have finally seen fit to re-release the truly classic videos "A Visual Sound" and "Tincan Folklore" on DVD, and about time too.
In this correspondent's misty-mind's eye, these videos epitomise all that is truly great about the practice of skateboarding, and along with other seminal SF releases around the time (Real's "Non Fiction", FTC's "Penal Code 100a") transformed this era into the embodiment of skateboard perfection - in the humble opinion of this somewhat aged skateboard enthusiast, at least.
However, we are at present omitting one particular classic of this time; let us remedy this.
Those of a similar vintage to this correspondent will surely recall Deluxe's video, entitled "Ride On" - if not, you were probably all over "20 Shot Sequence" or practicing your wallies in time for "Eastern Exposure 3"
'Ride On' has that quintessential SF vibe going on; mellow, classic music, Super-8 footage, Dickies, Half-Cabs... and comes across as the halfway point between "A Visual Sound' and 'Non Fiction'.
