About a month ago, a bunch of semi-professional skateboarding dudes put out a pretty semi-professional skateboarding film, Lindsay Lohan: The Worst American Skateboard Video. It stars Joey Pepper, Nikhil Thayer, and Matt Jones, alongside a stalwart band of brothers, sometimes referred to as “bros” in the larger shred stick community. And while the video may have a low budget (roughly 0 dollars if you don’t count beer), I still found it more entertaining than a lot of footage put out by the so-called “professional” companies in recent months.

There were 20 hand-numbered physical copies available at DQM when it came out. I imagine they’re all gone now, but maybe if you stop by you could trade a copy with somebody for some weed.

Watching this type of skateboarding is refreshing, because it’s a more accurate representation of what skating is really like for your average dude when compared to the epic spectacles presented by top tier board and shoe companies. This may come as a bit of a surprise, but most of us are not on some Marc Johnson level shit. Most of us are not on some Marc Johnson 10 years ago level shit, even. But there’s still a lot of great skateboarding to be had in the lower ranks, and probably a good deal more fun as well. This is raw skating — better yet, this is why you started skating in the first place. Unless it was just to pick up chicks, in which case… nice job, man, cuz that shit totally works.
