I had always thought that skate videos, by definition, were the second or third dullest thing in the world to watch. But these clips made me totally rethink that - they're clever and unique enough to show that the subject matter itself isn't inherently boring.

My personal favorite is this one, which combines slow motion, large explosions, and cool music into something almost... transcendental. I never thought a skate video could be beautiful, but this one is, in its own way.
