I know diddley-squat about skateboarding. Nothing, nix, nada. Ollie's, kickflip to backslide, means nout to me. One guy who does though is a Mr Spike Jonze. No - there is nothing this guy hasn't done. And yes I am fucking jealous! Turns out, before he was this credible indie director in Hollywood (currently filming Where the wild things are FYI!) Way before he was the music video director of choice to your bjorks and beasties. Even before he won every award going for all his advert work. He made a sketchy skateboard video heralded by some as the most influential street skateboarding film of all time; Video Days. This two part documentary is a nice gateway into why Video Days was so innovative and inspiring to so many.
