When Skateboarding Got Huge, But Still Held Its Soul
The 2000s were wild. Skateboarding blew up, went global, and started showing up in malls—but the videos? Still raw, still real, and still pushing limits. The VX1000 was king, the music was on point, and skaters were sending it on every session.
If you were skating in the 2000s, you lived for these parts dropping. Here’s a look at the era’s heaviest hitters.
📼 1. Flip – Sorry (2002)

Why it matters:
Set the tone for the decade. Big rails, European influence, and full-send energy.
📼 2. Baker – Baker 3 (2005)

Captured the Baker lifestyle: skate hard, party harder. Instant classic.
📼 3. Zero – Dying to Live (2002)
Jamie Thomas leads the charge again. Chris Cole, Greco, and Adrian Lopez bringing serious heat. Dark music, crusty spots, and banger-after-banger parts.
Why it matters:
Zero’s style, editing, and music hit different. This was pure hammers.
📼 4. Transworld – In Bloom (2002)

Pushed production value without losing soul. A love letter to skateboarding.
