This is a brilliant video to get into skateboarding, I recommend buying it and the video lived up to its high expectations. All the songs fit each persons style of skating. The Owen Wilson section was strange yet very entertaining (It is Eric Koston that skates not Owen Wilson) The soundtrack for Yeah Right is perfect. The montage in the middle was quite exceptional the build up and so-on was good, a little bit disappointed with Guy Mariano only having one trick but good so see Rick Howard skating so well. The ending montage/credits was quite good, one of my favourite parts of the video. Pulls out all the hammers but you've got to see his last trick. Rick McCrank and Mike Carroll- always inspirational but ending section could only go to one of the best street skaters in the world- Eric Koston. Paul Rodriguez and Jereme Rogers have brilliant parts, so much talent from the young 'uns!. Brian Anderson has so much style, Marc Johnson- tricks done flawlessly executed to make them look so easy. When the slow-mo deck close up comes on its a beautiful way to show the simplicity of skateboarding. When I see this I was truly amazed, its truly inspirational. (no Sheffey footage either, but he was in jail)įirst of all Heath Kirchart isn't in Yeah Right! you must have been thinking of the Emerica video or some Alien Workshop video. It would get the extra star if Mariano had a full part, or even a few more tricks. Its funny the first few times, and then you sorta start wishing that they hadn't done it. Also watch for tricks in the video with green/blue screened kicker ramps. Hence the bucket of green boards on the back of the tape box. They didn't photoshop the boards out, they green-screened them out. Once you see the no-board skit, you won't be able to stop laughing. The skits in this video surpass the skits in Mouse tenfold. Among other disappointments, Rick Howard doesn't have a full part either, but has a fair amount of footage. Anyone who has seen his part in Mouse will see this as the biggest disappointment of the video. There's absolutely no excuse for him not having a full part. He had 4 years to film for this video, and get got one trick. He last appeared in a video 4 years ago, with the Chocolate tour. On a downside, as I previously mentioned, Guy Mariano has ONE trick. While there are a fair amount of rail tricks in this video, a lot of the focus is on tech tricks, something not seen much in this heyday of rail ams. This video is different from others released recently in that it's not all hammers and rails and whatnot. Marc Johnson takes the award for funniest skit, it ties in with his first Chocolate board graphic, and it's hilarious. Everything from Bowie, to a quick Public Enemy cameo (along with Owen Wilson). A great soundtrack goes a long way towards making a video good or bad, and this video does not disappoint. Any one of the four could take it, but I'm leaning towards Koston/Johnson due to the level of innovation from both. Best part is a toss up here between McCrank, Koston, Carroll, and Marc Johnson. Almost all of the Girl riders make an appearance, except for Guy Mariano who might as well stay at home and live off of board royalties like the leech that he is. He truly shines with his over the top skits. Spike Jonze comes in to direct yet another Girl video.
