Ian Reid’s Video: Bootlegs & B-Sides
June 30th, 2007 | 1:05 pm | Daily News | 6 Comments
As of June 15th, Ian Reid’s Video Remix is available. Instead of writing a review for it, I figured we’d do something else. While all versions of the videos contain similar boobs and ghetto antics, the skating in each one tends to change more than anything else, even though it’s prioritized as third in the Sex, Hood, Skate and Videotape title. The following videos are small sections that were filtered out as the video got cut down or drastically different sections from the first edition of the video, when it was still called Tales From the Hood and passed around on DVD-R, before it became an internet sensation.
Rodney Torres Section
…also featuring Moya, Joey Alvarez and some other people. Pretty much none of this footage saw its was into the video once it saw wider distribution. There’s some gems in there from the late-90s though.
Original Chris Schiafone Part, Lil’ Jason, Charles Lamb & Philly Section
Schiafone’s part in all subsequent versions of the video was about three times longer than it is here, but he didn’t skate to Lil’ Flipper over a Pimp C vocal sample. Lil’ Jason didn’t make it into future versions and a lot of the Philly footage didn’t either.
Kyle James Bonus Section
Dubbed as “A ‘Real’ New York Legend,” you’d have to be an idiot to disagree. Anyone who can do switch 360 flips in Timbs, not to mention somebody whose entire roll of footage is filmed on either borrowed or stolen boards definitley deserves the “legend” title.
Brian Wenning & Ian Reid – First Edit
This is the first edit of their part, when they skated to the “Line ‘Em Up” instrumental. About 25% of this footage made it into the cuts that are around today, which are significantly more updated than this one, granted it’s a lot of Photosynthesis-era Wenning footage. The intro is pretty funny, although R-rated, so I couldn’t put it on Youtube.

Make sure you pick up the remix video because Mooney has a trick in it.

Review: Ian Reid’s Video [BOOTLEG EDITION]
August 26th, 2006 | 3:48 am | Reviews | No Comments
The central problem of video making in the skateboarding world today is that 99% of you are into art and shit. You all worry about how clear and pretty your colors are, whether or not there’s some cute tree out-of-focus in front of your shot, whether or not your favorite Modest Mouse song is on beat in the background and how much splicing you put in between actual skateboarding and your time-lapses of the same street that everyone else filmed a time-lapse of. In response to all you SVA skateboarding hippie assholes who go home and pluck your eyebrows after importing your footage while wearing hemp-embroidered sandals thinking to yourselves “Would Justin White [who has my utmost respect granted that he has all you assholes wanting to be like him] do this the same way?”, Ian Reid made, bar-none, the hoodest skate video ever to be put on a DVD.
