How to make a successful skateboarding video: a lesson by Charlie Maine.

First and foremost you will need to own something resembling a skateboard. It’s okay if it’s just a 2×8 with all the wheels missing, it’s the thought that counts. Next, you’ll need the proper skating attire. Go put on your favorite Slayer t-shirt, flannel top, tight pants, and bad sneakers to fit in with your friends. The spiky denim jacket of yesteryear has been almost completely phased out in favor of the cleaner, neater, almost hipster look. You can still keep all your Black Flag patches, but punk is dead, dude. There’s nothing you can do about it, stop living in the past, man.

Finally, buy a five-thousand dollar slow-motion video camera, and watch the views come pouring in. Enjoy a fruitful existence full of sweet grinds, awesome ollies, and whatever it is skateboarders do.
