A new Digital video! 5 Skater, 5 outstanding parts! Digital is known for their most hardest and well cut video productions. Dennis Martin and William Weiss filming and editing provided excellent work. Jani Laitala in the first part ripps about everything he can find in San José and delivers styliest lines some nice ones from Barcelona and from other places within the states, too. Bjorn Johnston lately pacing on Nikes, exclusively has in my opinion an average part, only but is not to be underestimated in any case. Hard, harder, Jordan Hoffart. After a hard bail from about 2 meters he gets up again in order to complete his trick, of course. In New Zealand some spots just are a little rougher but he doesn´t care. Maybe a part a little too short but an innovative part, after all with a beautiful pole trick. Darkstar´s Gailea Momulu with the murder pop. From Canada here come the fast flip tricks no matter if on the handrail or down the gaps. Flipping ´n rippin´ all day long. An absolutely outstanding part that Aaron Snyder fights off. I haven´t seen such a big variety of tricks from a skater, lately. Who thought primos can be handled that easily!? In between the parts there are small video cuts that are featured by a lot of friends and even more well-known. Including Rodrigo TX, Antwuan Dixon, Mark Appleyard, Ryan Gallant, Paul Machnau, Carlos de Andreade, Ted Degros and more. In a nutshell: Setting new standards! Half an hour of absolute bangers fittingly cut to the music. Beware! Keep the board within reach. You´ll have to go skate!

"Reason to believe" is a video from the house of Jamie Thomas so you can be sure the filming is first choice. After all it was Jamie who understood how to use a fisheye on his camera to the fullest to make skating look more dynamic. But if you take a look on the tele shots neither Jamie nor any of his filming colleagues have to hide. In "Reason to believe" it´s all about making a video about Jamie's buddies from the old home of Alabama who all know how to skate very well. It´s funny but if Jamie hadn´t gone to California he could be another more or less well-known skater out in the middle of nowhere, still. The same goes for Pat Rakestraw and Ben Gilley who both have a part, as well. But it starts with Justin Holmes, first who should better have gone to Cali, too. The boy grinds about every rail that gets in his way and looking good! We pretty well know this from Ben Gilley, already but the Kink-Rail that he grinds at the end of his part just is too gnarly you wouldn´t believe it. Who ever´s seen the picture in Thrasher knows what I´m talking about. Also the rest of Ben´s part is nice to look at and Jamie signing him with Zero after being kicked out of Blacklabel is understandable. Pat Rakestraw still rides for Label and the part is just another prove of: this man has pop! Actually his lines are very creative and are a good alternation to all that rail crashing. After some other homies of Jamie get to get to their point the chief himself has a part that´s outstanding, certainly. I would assume that the complete footage maybe all the leftover stuff from the last Zero video but leftovers from Jamie are definitely yummy. In summary "Reason to believe" is one of the first DVD´s since a long period of time that was sold out after a few weeks and that has to mean something!

With Cheese&Crackers Almost once again releases a DVD that definitely should not be excluded from any collection. It is so to say already a classic because it differentiates itself from the usual skate videos in the business in one point: It´s all about miniramp skating! Therefore Deawon Song and Chris Headsman locked themselves into a warehouse for three months with a pretty steep miniramp and show what they can do. And that´s quite something! Sometimes you just don´t know whether you should laugh or cry that´s how crazy the things are they do. On the one hand all the liptricks that are somehow possible are shown and on the other hand the two built various additional obstacles inside or next to the ramp so for the creative trick development there is no limit. Wow, what an explanation but it certainly hits the nail on the head. To count down any tricks here now is senseless because you really should have seen it with your own eyes! Of course there is a bonus section, too in which you can find the only "real" street part with the new Almost-amateur Lewis Marnell. Also you can see the stunning "tankwheel-dirtboard" action of Cooper Wilt and Haslam and that´s not too bad. Is cross skating the new trend from now on? Well, not seriously but it´s inspiring to try it yourself. The friends section gets to take place on a miniramp, as well and primarily shows friend cameramen and photographers but be aware also Mike Carroll has a few lines that are a nice thing to look at! You HAVE to watch or own Cheese&Crackers because the short but perfect video is a classic already!

I don´t have to tell anybody who knows something about skateboarding that Mark Gonzales maker and owner of the company Krooked is kind of a crazy dog. I personally maintained the opinion that he´s not quite clear in the head and should be put into a closed institute. The funny thing is actually that I said that about 15 years ago when he was sliding the Santa Monica double kink rail. Those days more in terms of his skating. Today this is more because of his "what kind so ever" crazy actions and that´s why I was even more awaiting the first video of his company and especially interested in his part. Would it be consisting of BMX? Or would he maybe just be running down the street? OK, some strange film skit actually really guides you throughout the whole video but other than that Marc held himself back and produced a very good skate video. And even with a part of himself absolutely worth seeing. Including real tricks and stuff which is not necessarily normal. An absolutely honorable last part. But Van Wastell has got the first one and in spite of having a strange christian name is capable of transferring technical tricks onto rails. Dan Drehobel always was one of my favorites and besides him always skating with a cigarette he´s got some tranny tricks going. Bobby Worrest comes from the East Coast but more likely has the style of a technical Californian. More curb tech than pole jam but blessed with an unique style. Because of the company only having four team rider which I personaly think is good the guest pros that are existing at Krooked receive a thick part, as well and here you can see just about everyone with a rank and a name. Starting from Guy Mariano to Jake Brown, from Chad Muska to Christian Hosoi all have some tricks on the bonus DVD that comes with this more than stylish package. So that´s two DVD´s plus Gonz Booklet. You can´t get more than that for your money. Especially not really good skateboarding.

As a preview you get a Mystery trailer that really has got it! Zero or die!
