Flash back to Summer of 08 where Video#2 is mostly filmed, edited and ready to go. "Mostly" being the operative term. I could have easily taken an extra month or two to finish things up proper but a deadline loomed: Murrie Barnett was about to ship off for a second term of war. He'd missed out on video#1's premier: Fuck A Film, a year prior because of war and I wasn't down for it to happen again. Night of the premier I told everyone to simply blame the hasty production on Murrie, drink another beer and enjoy. Nasty Nate Lerma took the "another beer" line to heart and was eventually administered The Hook by Vantor, but that's another story completely. Anyways, premier night was a rager and Murrie is home so I figure it's finally time to tie up the loose ends of my second video.
Drewl must of been in a major hippie phase when he chose the original song for his part. I enjoy a bit of Free Design here and there but it did make for an odd skate edit. It was entertaining seeing him get ragged for it too, but I wasn't stoked that he wasn't stoked in the long run. This edit is more concise and features a more fitting tune by a more fitting band.
Erik not being from Oakland is the main reason for this re-edit. Erik didn't have any songs he was set on and he's a tough dude to pick for. Essentially, City Of Dope by Too Short just fit really well without much tweaking and considering my time frame, I just rolled with it. It's bugged me for a couple years now so I've replaced it with the coolest Ventures song of all time.
