Two to six recognizable skaters, no titles is OK. Six or more, credits, please.

Once I saw the Nike video was 44 minutes long, I resigned myself to watching the highlights on Quartersnacks. I did check out the first two to three parts, mainly for the Durao footage. I do see how it functions without titles, but it felt too much like a montage at times. Everybody talks about how important singular video parts are and yet everybody dumps all the nameless footage in a pot like a stew.

The weird thing about Nike is that if a board brand or even a skater owned shoe company back in the day released a video as terrible as Nothing But The Truth, they would forever be branded as wack. Somehow Nike escaped this fate, even though their resume probably has more strikes than hits on it over their time in skateboarding.

Supposedly Jerry Hsu pushed into everything for his Bag Of Suck. Tow-ins are strangely fine at times, like when one pops up in an enjoi video or Heath's tricks over that gap. Kerry Getz's Subaru tow-in in Skate More. These days they feel forced and trendy. If you can't do it without a motorcycle, maybe you don't need to do it.
