Film Everything



After watching this clip of Chris Haslam, Clint Peterson, and Benny Fairfax I had to just sort of shake my head and say to myself again: YouTube is cool.

No one would pay to produce this, pay to watch it, or even stick it in the video liner notes of a DVD as an afterthought. It's not a shame, it's just the way it is. I wouldn't pay for it. Nevertheless it reminded me of being younger more than any skate video I've seen in the last couple of years, and had me reaching for the kleenex.

Moreover this is just really cool. Could you imagine finding a youtube link for a game of horse between Larry, Michael, and Magic in which they missed a ton of shots? Or footage of Whitney, Paula, and Madonna taking turns trying to hit the high C while their voice's cracked?

Thank heaven for dopey camcorders.
