Remember watching this part fresh out of a hard days work at the local high school. Get home, eat a snack, watch a video, go skate. Even though this was nearly the Powell dethroned days, I enjoyed a couple parts in this video. Chris Senn, Adam McNatt. What happened to McNatt? He was at the top of the heap at one time. It's funny that they still use the shaky "in out" cam on this one. It's like they paid for the technology when they made Propaganda and wanted to get their money's worth. "Can we at least get a couple nauseating shots with the shaky cam?"
This was right around the time when slick bottom decks were prime time. I believe Santa Cruz was the first to brand the idea and my skatebro, Branden, had the Tom Knox version. I eventually got an Alien Workshop Dyrdek slick. It was before pros had a new graphic every month, so I had the slick bottom version and the wood deck with the same graphic albeit a different shape. I would go on to have many a slick bottomed deck. Some worked better than others. The Mark Gonzales mac 'n cheese deck for example, was just a cheap laminate. Great graphics though. I loved the frag out of that one. Branden had the G&S Shannon May slick with the model graphics. I had an ATM Gonz slick that would bend when you stepped on it. Weird time for skateboarding.
RIP Pat Brennen. (360 late shuv)
