Rubbish Heap World Industries 1989, 37 minutes Current Rating: 4 out of 5 stars Rubbish Heap is World Industries’ first video and is somewhat of a cult classic. There's a ton of street action and a little mini-vert courtesy of Jesse Martinez. Also featured are a few practitioners of the lost art known as freestyle. World was pretty much a rag-tag team at this point and many of the featured skaters talents weren't realized until after its release. Some, such as Jeremy Klein and Ron Chatman, skyrocketed to super-stardom while others, such as Billy Waldman and Chris Branagh, became known only for their child-star descent into obscurity. The soundtrack is almost non-existent which may thrill some and bore the hell out of others. May 26, 2004 For a video that is thrown together sloppily and barely has a soundtrack, Rubbish Heap is damn good. World Industries at the time was the middle finger to the Big 5 skateboarding companies. Their ads scathingly satirized the ultra-corporate, bureaucratic companies run by people that were completely out of touch with skateboarding and only gave a shit about the bottom line. This explains the extremely low-fi feel of Rubbish Heap. Jesse Martinez sums it up best, "I'm not a pro. I just skate. I don't know how I get the money. It's a miracle!" It's ironic that World has turned into what it has. The skating is arguably the most advanced for the time period and the skits are hilarious! Case in point: Jeremy Klein focusing Rodney's freestyle board and forcing him to skate a street board to which Rodney exclaims he feels “kinda manly” skating such a wide board, and some snot-nosed kid eating a worm and puking it back up which in turn is immediately wolfed down by his dog! It’s the kind of disgusting and destructive behavior that only a skater can truly appreciate. Kosh Guido
