Westside Skate shop's fourth video, The Good Life, has a good mix of humor and great skating. I love indy flicks and this is another great example. New faces mixed with a pro appearances gives this vid a fresh feel. A banging soundtrack seals the deal - go search out this DVD.
These days you gotta support your local shop if you expect them to be there in the future. Any shop able to make a shop-vid has got to have their act together (or have some time and money for such endeavors) so go support them. Hell, go get sponsored and appear in their next release!
Westside, being in Florida, means you're going to see sights that may not have appeared in every other video out there. Of course you'll see palm trees, but they're the FL type not the Cali ones that make me groan and yearn for a new spot. Good spots are hard to come by, especially in daylight, these guys do it up. Diverse skating and fun to watch.
Bonus Stuff
- Shelly Montage
- Another Montage
- Control Skate Park - Owner Matt Cantor discusses his indoor park.
- Dango went crazy - maniacal outbursts that would have worked just as nicely on the cutting-room floor. Funny is funny - screaming is just screaming.
