Black Label
2001, 50 minutes
Current Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
If you could put together the most entertaining skate video what would you put in it? Would you have a good mix of street and vert, maybe throw a little poolriding in there? Some gnarly-ass rail and bank tricks mixed with a little bit of old school? Hey, how about someone ollies off of a roof into a pool? Or, someone grinding on a rock? Or, yeah, an axle stall on an old tire? And lots of falls too? Well, there's all this and more in Label Kills.

Label Kills is a video that will definitely stand the test of time. From the get go, this video forgoes all the clichés currently associated with many of today’s modern street skating videos. Rather than focusing on current trends/tricks, Label Kills pays homage to skateboarding’s diverse and rich history. Black Label’s elder squad (Omar Hassan, Matt Hensley, Mike Vallely, etc.) provides some of the best tricks (no comply variations, wall rides, early grabs, etc.) often lost in the current crop of videos coming out. Although the Label offers up some compelling skateboarding from the past, there is definitely no shortage of gnarly upstarts. Skaters like Ben Gilley and Adam Alfaro destroy huge rails and themselves in the process. The editing is so exceptional in this video that one wonders if a younger and much more in tune Stacy Peralta could be secretly hiding behind the scenes. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or new to skateboarding, you will not be able to forget the Label after this one.
