Skateboarding is undeniably affecting our society. From waxed-up ledges, scraped-up rails, and wheel-stained walls to talk shows, TV commercials, magazine features, movies, and lawsuits. Whether embraced or shunned, skateboarding has continued to shine. Six professionals reveal the reason they skateboard.

A Mad Circle video production.

Skateboard Party is a collection of skate footage from the 2004 Red Dragons (RDS) skate tour, making up the second skateboarding video from RDS. It's a mix of awesome skate clips and partying. It opens with Tom Green trashing a mirrored closet door and they guys smack him around over it. I didn't know he still had a career... interesting. Aboard two boats the team go to an island, with a lot of beer, to celebrate the finish of their 2004 tour.

In the beginning skate and snowboard videos were, for the most part, simple displays of talent. The Whiskey videos changed all that. No it wasn't because of flashy editing, top industry pros, or huge production budgets. These videos were made by a couple of third rate pros. All they had were a few shitty cameras and enough gas money to get to Whistler.
