A Visual Sound
Stereo
1994, 36 minutes
Current Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars

Stereo’s first video, A Visual Sound, is one of the first introductions of experimental art, film, and music in skateboard videos. The video is written, produced and directed by Jason Lee and Chris Pastras. Throughout the video, abstract and eclectic still frames and photos are intermingled with color and black and white footage of skating. Besides Mike Frazier’s vert contribution, the video is solely made of street skating with long lines of flip tricks, rails and slides on and over ledges, banks, curbs and stairs. The soundtrack is a pure jazz lineup from Ululation and Tommy Guerrero.

Any of you kids heard of the famous actor Jason Lee? Well, before he was getting paid to star in the latest Kevin Smith movie, he had the illest tre-flip known to man, along with one of the best styles ever. The video draws a lot on jazz music and the idea that skateboarding is really what you make of it. Matt Rodriguez is one skateboarder that is definitely on a level of his own; he’s just amazing. Greg Hunt shows that he has skills on both sides of the camera. However, I think the highlight of the video goes to Ethan Fowler. Ethan, before he let his ego get to his head, killed it in the video! It’s just Ethan doing what he does best: smooth lines, a lot of randomness and plenty of the best backside tailslides ever.

This video is full of big fucking tricks! And these guys are fluid, my brothers and sisters. But the damn switch skating sure made my life a lot more difficult… Just when I thought I had these fucking tricks down I had to re-learn them all over again switch stance. Fuuucckk! If you haven't seen the video, pry your lazy ass off your bedpost and grab a copy any way you can. Oh, and if for any reason you can't seem to appreciate this video, go fuck yourself.
