I was getting nostalgic last week for the days of being a skater in the 80's. I found on eBay a copy of the Santa Cruz video Streets On Fire. This movie was made in 1988 and for years it was my favorite skate video in my collection. It arrived just yesterday and I sat and watched it with Fynn (a burgeoning skater-in-training). Man, aside from the music in it, of which I already own tanks to iTunes, it really kinda sucks. Yeah the tricks and fashions are pretty tame/lame by today's X-Games-standards, but even looking past that stuff, it's just a poorly produced video. Camera angles are wasted on throw-away tricks, multiple angles of the same trick are used over and over and the slow-motion feature is used WAY too much. I still love the video for what it represents, but I doubt I'll be watching it again anytime soon. What a downer.
