OK, so I'm pretty much a lazy sod when it comes to buying 'movies' online… paying $$ for a download isn't really my thing. then I thought, OK that's the way the world is turning nowadays and I wanted to purchase Santa Cruz' 'right to exist' video… yeah, several months late. Whatever. But at least in a legal way. Would've loved to have the old dogs like Salba and the new rippers like Winkowksi on one movie…

So I tried to buy the video via amazon. I was told that my computer wasn't able to receive the video in HD. Ok. I can live with that. Then I was told I couldn't purchase the video unless I had an address in the US.

OK, what's the point, folks at Santa Cruz?? You don't want to sell stuff?? Do I need to sign up with every shitty website until I've found the one that's offering a download to Europe (if there is such a thing)??? Well, screw you, I don't need your video then.

Just another annoying detail of the 'everything's-online-now-era'. tsss…

Folks @NHS : I have plenty of $$$ for your stuff. Nope, I HAD. Would've paid for DVD's of 'troops of tomorrow', 'big wheels, small pants', etc etc.
I'd been waiting for reissues of those for years.
I want it for free now. Will find it on youtube anyway.

As for your decks, well… garbage pail kids decks is exactly what it is. Garbage.

thanks for nothing…

yeah sure. but that wasn't quite the point of my rant.

besides - I was speaking of the video, not the era.
not sure what i should expect of the video, I've never seen it except a clip or two. but it's got Dressen…Kendall… Andy fucking Roy! and more. I'd buy the DVD without blinking an eye.

plus, I think that period has its merits. sure, the 'mainstream' skate world (if there was such a thing) was fucked thanks to Rocco… but there were skaters out there that did their thing… pools… vert… and stuff like Burnside was born in that era! I like pics and videos of 'washed-up vert pros' (as Big Brother put it bitd) still doing their thing… it went underground, but it was there.

It's actually Big Pants, Small Wheels (BPSW) and it is a fun watch.
I read it as a typo in your rant, hence my little joke.
My apologies, as you were.
