Black and Blue Volume 1 from Vox Shoes, circa 2007. These were offered for free on Vox's site, but they seem to be gone now. Every one of these skaters fucking rips, and these videos were put together really well.
Black and Blue Volume 2 from Vox Shoes, circa 2007.
Black and Blue Volume 3 from Vox Shoes, circa 2008.
Black and Blue Volume 4 from Vox Shoes, circa 2008.
All the Days Roll Into One from Volcom, circa 2008. This aired in October on Fuel TV. Its a short documentary about the Skate scene in New York. Its not the fastest moving piece of film, but I really enjoyed it.
Independent 30th Anniversary Tour from Independent Trucks, circa 2008. This is the second of the Independent tour videos. Its better than last years, but that's partly because of the sheer volume of rippin skaters and the mixed terrain.

Matamba y Zion - 01 Estilo dread (Tema Recomendado)
Overground Broadcasting from The Far East Skate Network, circa 2008. This was directed by Takahiro Morita who traveled and filmed the local scenes of the world for 8 years. This is the only part of this video I have seen and its mind blowing to say the least. You can't purchase this video from their site yet, but Underground Broadcasting is available right now, so go check out The Far East Skate Network.
Beez III Unusual Protocol from wiskate.com, circa 2008. What can I say about this video? Its fucking rad, that's what. This is anything but a normal skate video, from the bizarre "soundtrack" to the unconventional tricks. Its like stepping into a hurricane of insanity. The video is somewhat reminiscent of Lance Mountain's parts from the old Powell videos. Go check out the Beez site and buy the whole DVD, which has four videos on it. Now that's a screamin deal! Acid
La Vie En Carton from Trauma Skateboards, circa 2008. This is a solid video with a pretty good selection of music too. There's a great mixture of terrain throughout the video, with some unusual tricks thrown in. I really liked the stop motion parts and the editing was Superb. Go check out Trauma Skateboards, where you can download this video for free. Thanks for the link Charly!
Raw Dog and Falafel from Bacon Skateboards, circa 2008. Another awesome video from these local Oregon boys. Hey, they even broke out some nonblackmetal for this one! I'm impressed that they keep putting videos out for free, its the way things should be as far as I'm concerned. Radicool!
All 80s All Day from Shred or Die, circa 2008. They just recently built a vert ramp and invited a bunch of 80s pros to come skate it with their original gear. What a great idea, and the skating is off the hook. Bucky Lasek throws out some of the more original tricks, and Andy "Pogostick" Macdonald doesn't do so bad himself.
DeJa Vu from Cliche Skateboards, circa 2008. This is a reedit of the past Cliche videos all put into a single megamix. It just gets better and better as the video goes on. Top notch skatin. Here is the breakdown of who edited who's part: Ty Evans for Lucas Puig, Roger Bagley for Joey Brezinski, Greg Hunt for Ricardo Fonseca, Mike Manzoori for Javier Mendizabal, Dan Magee for Andrew Brophy, Scuba Steve for Cale Nuske, Dan Wolfe for Jeremie Daclin, Ewan Bowman for Charles Collet, and RB Umali for JB Gillet.
Ride The Sky from Fallen Footwear, circa 2008. I was sort of surprised at the lack-luster beginning to this video. But it immediately gets better and better as each rider is able to show their skills on the deck. This is definitely one to buy, as I'm sure it includes a lot of highlights.
Baker has a DeathWish from Baker Skateboards, circa 2008. This was a Promo Baker put out earlier this year. These guys seem like the biggest loadies, and its plain amazing how good they skate.
And Now from Transworld Skateboarding, circa 2008. David Gravette really shows that he's an all around ripper with some great style and variety of tricks. While Richie Jackson's part is bringing hippy jumps(among other things) to a whole new level. I really liked the video, they managed to pull out some sick skaters.
Ponkes The Movie, from Ponke's The Shop, circa 2008. This is a video you can go pick up for free at Ponkes Skateshop. All you have to do is get to Helsinki, Finland to get your copy. As with most Euro videos, they have a good mix of terrain with some good ol' fun mixed in. Its filmed really well, and I enjoyed it quite a bit.
Dudes, Dudes, Dudes from DVS Shoes, circa 2008. Primarily focusing on street skating, its really well done, and free to boot at ye olde DVS site.
