1993, 32 minutes
Current Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

Goldfish reflects the fact that Girl is primarily a street skating team with the street skating being exactly that, done on the street. Schoolyards, Hollywood Blvd., and Embarcadero are all utilized in Golfish with a chunk of tranny and skatepark footage near the end of the video. Tricks include grinds and slides on planters, ledges and handrails, switch stance tricks (flips, manuals, etc.) and flip tricks over ledges, planters and other junk.

Goldfish is my kind of video, with strictly street skatin’ and what comes with it, before the days of the all mighty "hammer." There are long lines, plenty of ledges, an emphasis on style and if that’s not enough, Carroll, Koston and Rick Howard come through with amazing parts. One of my favorites belongs to the underrated Jeron Wilson. The Tribe remix he uses and the feel of the part is awesome and Jeron’s skating is seriously incredible. In a time when everything is leaning towards doing big stunts and crazy tricks, it’s cool to see an old video that reminds you that skating is really about having fun and enjoying what you do.

In Goldfish, Girl goes beyond featuring quality skateboarding. Sure there are impressive flips, grinds, and slides, but that can be found in many videos. The Spike Jonze influence, however, sets Goldfish far apart from other skate vids. Two examples of this are Lance Mountain's personal testimony of his obsession with a pogo stick, and Henry Sanchez following spray painted, double yellow lines around like a skateboard road. It's also evident by the shots of the Girl team skating together that they enjoy being a team, not just ego's thrown together for profit.
