Skateboarding Video Parts That Changed the Sport

Most skaters have a part they rewound until the tape wore thin. This list collects the officially released video parts that pushed skateboarding somewhere new, from the Bones Brigade's 1984 debut tape to Supreme's Blessed. Each one earned its place by introducing a trick, a kind of terrain, a way of filming or releasing parts, or an attitude that other skaters picked up afterward, and by still being worth watching for the skating itself. Street, vert and women's skating all appear, in release order, so you can watch the sport change as you scroll. Where one video produced several landmark parts, such as Questionable or Welcome to Hell, each part gets its own entry. Plenty of brilliant parts are missing because they perfected a direction rather than starting one, and no part from the 2020s is here yet, because none has had time to prove that kind of influence. Contest runs, slam compilations and other action sports are left out.
