Amsho:1
Amsho VM
2001, 45 minutes
Current Rating: 2 out of 5 stars

AmSho is a small video magazine that came out in 2001. It features several lesser-knowns skating a bevy of street spots, a bit of mini-ramp and some vert. Also featured is some Slam City Jam footy featuring all your favorite pros doing what they do.

Amsho:1 is a perfect example of what not to do. The music is hit and miss; sometimes almost alright but sometimes just really lame. Not hella lame, because saying "hella" is lame. Anyway, the video editor chose to give all the street footy and some of the mini-ramp footy a strobe effect, which looks really shitty. Not hella shitty though. The vert sections are nothing new, but at least they aren't in strobe. The only redemptive part of this vid is the Slam footy, of which at least two or three bangers are "blessed" with the strobe effect. Seriously, I'd rather bite my own ass than watch this video again.
