The Top 10 Must Watch Streetboard Videos

Essential Streetboard Videos Every New Streetboarder should Watch.

BY JAY "THE CAPTAIN" NOWMAN

Streetboarding has a long history that since the early days of the 1990's has been documented on film.

This is not a list of the BEST Streetboard videos ever.

This is one of that takes you through the different eras of the sport.

Some riders. Some tricks. Some sections. Still bang almost 30 years later.

A Jay Beatty melancholy down a 12 set in Disturbed from 1996.

Kelly Dean's Back 720 from Air Biscuit in 1997.

The order of the list is not a ranking.

Its a journey. So whether you binge watch the whole lot in one. Or delicately consume these.

Once you have digested the almost three decades of action you'll be able to enter the debate ovr on our Discord as to which IS the greatest Streetboard video of all time.

1. Streetboarding Enough Said

The True Skool | 2007

This video was made for YOU! It is a video that represents not just some of the best riding of the time and all time.

But also what you get when you strap in to a Streetboard. A welcoming into a global family.

For Streetboarding Enough Said, top brands of the day sent in their best footage to date.

Myself, your humble captain, Jay Nowman, and Stef, Midnight Streetboards design guru, spent months distilling it all down to a showreel of the best of Streetboarding.

From Max Anderson's opening Misty 720 down a 10 stair to Max Maier's physics bending spins on mini ramp.

We recently dropped a version where the quality of the footage claims to be enhanced by AI.

In reality with bangers like these they could have been captured on a pin hole camera and they still would have slayed. Its the trick that counts.

2. Left for Dead

Dimension Streetboards | 2005.

The reason this didn't hit number one is two fold.

Firstly Streetboarding Enough Said features many of the highlights.

Secondly, and this is me, your Captain, a street rat, saying this. Its almost exclusively real street.

Left for Dead recently turned 20, and we did a in depth look at it all these years later. Its safe to say its still is one of the most insane streetboard videos ever.

3. Air Biscuit

Trout Productions | 1998.

Its on a launch box, jump box, whichever you call it, that Streetboarding really comes into its own. A regular skatepark can have the best stomping 900's, 1080's oh and BACKSIDE 720's.

The box riding, to take the opening sample from Andy Cass' section, is dreamy. His front 7's still stand the test of time.

But its Kelly Dean's NBD Back 7 that steals the show. He'd definitely ingested his Weetabix that day.

This 1997 Trout video was the end of an era. Only months later and the founding brand Snakeboard (now revived) disappeared.

BREAKING THE MOLD

  • Both in terms of they don't really sit in this list as they are both technically just one sections videos.

    And that these two riders sit in a class apart.

    Throw around the a discussion of Streetboarding's GOAT and these names will always come up top.

  • Strap in To Live

    Both of these videos were conceived and edited by Colin Horan of Day One. THE Streetboard brand of the 2010's.

    Ismael Calvo won his first world title in 2024. This video part is worth a million titles.

    I witnessed the pictured nosegrind on the kink. It still fills me with awe.

    This is street at its finest.

    Many of you will know Sergi Nicolas for his 16 world titles. But on the streets they count for nothing.

    That is Sergi's strength. He rides it all. All at a level few have ever reached. And I would argue non have done so across all disciplines. Except manuals. Sorry bro.

    This is yet another showcase for why he is Streetboarding in human form.

    Sent back to earth from the planet IngoBingo to roam with us mere mortals.

4. Drop this

CDV Productions | 2012

Sergi Nicolas and his lifelong friend Quim ran a skateshop in Barcelona called Drop-In. It would be not just a local, but global force in Streetboarding. Drop This is a who's who of the Spanish scene. Many of whom are still riding at the top level.

Gabi Muñoz lays it down. Sergi pulls an epic rail to rail. Toni Alvarez shows why he's one of the scenes most loved tech riders. Cristian Dedeu of CDV Productions who produced the & filmed the video lays a solid section. Some of the spots he hits are so much gnarlier in person.

5. One

The True skool. 2001.

London's True Skool video ONE is an early 2000's Streetboard classic.

Its a gritty London centric video with a soundtrack that was put together on a mixtape before filming started.

It reflects the times. The big brand was gone. A toy company held the patent so no body could make boards. The streetboard scene reverted to a DIY vibe.

Featuring Sergi Nicolas' first ever full part destroying the streets of London & Barcelona.

6. Seldom Scene

DAY ONE | 2011

Released a decade after One — is another UK-centric streetboard video: Day One: Seldom Scene.

In this era of streetboarding, Day One was everybody’s favourite brand, known for its stylish tees, real-life competitions, and a killer team.

Colin Horan, who now hosts the Streetboard World Series coverage, was the driving force behind the vision.

Everyone on the team - except for the eternally stylish Eric Brun - was UK-based, and the filming stretched over about three years.

The result perfectly captures this unique period in streetboarding history.

7. Eudaimonia

DIMENSION STREETBOARDS | 2007

In a time after Left for Dead this  @DimensionBoards  video dropped without fanfare onto this new crazy not yet Google acquired streaming platform called YouTube. You might have heard of it.

Nicolas “Spit” Frega does the business. Kyle Orndorff takes Streetboarding into some unexplored territory and Alex Morton shows why he is still regarded as one of the best ever to strap in.
