remember when skating was weird??

i remember when skating was sorta in a strange state of confusion in the late 90's. osisris, windpants, D3's, menikmati, washed out footage of wood ramps on hot ashpalt, x-games craziness, bluetorch tv, shit like that. looking back alot of it was not that fresh, skating was slow, parks sucked, cops were getting worse, etc. but i remember a few thing that were totally out there and rad, though i never fully appriciated it until now, one of those things was old foundation videos, espeacailly Art Bars and Nervous Breakdown and the great TWS/Ty Evans trifecta of Feedback, The Reason, and Modus Operandi. those vids were artistic, inovative, and just downright weird at times, and the skating ripped! im glad to see now there is more of stuff like this in skating, weird is good.
