Yes - that is one reading of it; another is this: that it's taken these disparate artists and art styles and crafted a great list of greats into a well presented, cohesive whole - this is what I feel a top-notch magazine does, and something we are missing in this internet age. The low "entry-cost" to publishing online means "everybody has a voice" - when Its clear that silence WAS golden, meaning: Not all videos and creators are equal - but this channel does it very well, with way more-than-competent (approaching 'pro') production values, and a fairly humorous narrative voice throughout. I would rather watch these guys do a top-ten skate list, well researched and presented, than go read about the same thing - im looking for a rapid fire list, with salient points, which is read to me. Art is visual, and I think a video is sometimes superior to a list. With the reading done for you, in the form of narration, it could be argued that the visuals therfore have more meaning. A video list is also helpul in certain circumstances. For example: I can listen to this list, whilst I have a bath, where I can listen and look and learn WITHOUT having to try to teeter a precarious magazine in the bath (all the while taking far too long). This is a great video for a great number of scenarios. Cheers guys, Keep up the good work :) "LiL'JpD."

Any graphic from 80s Santa Cruz or P&P is my favorite, that's skateboard graphics at their peak. I think VISION also had some iconic "pop -art" decks like Psycho-Stick, Gonz and GATOR. IMO decks today really lack good art, I think skateboard companies should commission tattoo artists to create an entire series of decks. bring back that huge element that skateboarding is missing today.

My first deck purchased from a shop (1993-ish) was a World Industries Daewon Song (slick) with a graphic showing the Land Before Time cartoon dinosaurs. Except the stegosaurus "Spike" had a big bite mark out of his back. My mom was mortified but I loved that deck. Wish they would re-issue it. Steve Rocco was a master of putting out troll-ish/controversial deck graphics. He did so much for the industry regardless of how people feel about him. I also wanted the old school Star Wars Plan B decks.
