The memory lane inclined minds at Cash Only just dropped their debut video, The Cash Only Video. (Shout out to anyone enough of a nerd to remember the Vehicle Skateboards commercial from the first EST video.)
The video is anchored on two parts: the first from the newly pro Aleka Lang, who by way of likely Clockwork Orange-ing Alien Workshop’s Photosynthesis videotape for his formative years, manages to bring an evolved Love Park sensibility to the ledges at the Vancouver Art Gallery, a spot 1/100th as good as Love Park, and the second is from also pro, QS-favorite, Humidity Skateshop C.E.O., philanthropist and New Orleans skate scene mayor, Philly Santosuosso.
The camera feels like it’s from ’94, the soundtrack from ’98 (though let’s be honest, hard to have the best verse on a song where Ghostface is shouting out Mikhail Gorbachev and claiming authorship of The Old Testament because he needed the money), but the skating is very much in 2025. Really want to go out and practice nollie frontside flips after watching this one.
Vancouver!
