Best skateboarding video (please help me)

[Seager]

Folks, I am looking for a Christmas gift for one of my students. He is a 15 year old avid skater and I'm looking for the best skateboard video for him. Possibly a video/book combo because I'm trying to encourage his reading. Any help or suggestions would be extra appreciated.

Dogtown and Z-Boys.

You forgot to list the titles he already has.

If you really want to encourage his reading, buy him the *best* skateboarding book. There must be some good/interesting ones out there...

-almost round 3
-the DC video
-blind what if
-baker 3

and if you want to encourage reading i suggest a magazine subscription.

Enjoi bag of suck, THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO EVER...except for dogtown...i think theirs a book to go with dogtown...but dogtown isn't really a skating video, it more the rise of skating...

The Search For Animal Chin (http://www.powell-peralta.com/feature/chin_se/)
Everyone who claims they're a skater should have already watched this classic Powell-Peralta flick.

It shows the genesis of the first generation of skaters, and it carries the greatest message that can be conveyed by the sport: Skateboarding Is Fun.

Plus, you get to see some of skateboarding's greatest in their youth, shredding some supremely sick pipes.

Get this movie, or don't bother getting anything else.

It's called "Yeah Right!" I have it, it's great. Amazing music coordination, and invisible boards in certain parts.

It's a great video.

Thanks for the help. What are the best magazines? I'd like to recommend a subscription to his parents to encourage reading, but I'd like to do the best one.

the best written one is transworld ( and my favorite) most people like thrash tho
