Beyond the 3rd Wave

AFTER NEARLY A DECADE OF MAKING SKATE VIDEOS shot exclusively on the VHS format, London’s Palace Skateboards have taken a landmark decision to switch it up and ditch this cumbersome, weighty, ludicrously outdated technology—and to replace it with an even more cumbersome, even more weighty, even more ludicrously outdated technology! VHS Palace is dead; long live the new era of Betamax Palace!

A video for Blanket by Daniel Wheatley. Filmed in London and Los Angeles.

The Palace Palasonic skate video dropped November 2017, becoming an instant classic. The film clocks in at 40-minutes long, features the exploits of the Palace skate team over a 7-year period, and was shot completely on VHS to give the film a retro, lofi aesthetic.

Just a year after Blueprint’s Waiting For The World, Dan Magee debuted First Broadcast. Filmed over 12 months and premiered in December 2001, this wasn’t another Blueprint video, but rather a celebration of British skateboarding with skaters from a few different teams including Unabomber, Organic and of course Blueprint. First Broadcast stars Vaughan Baker, Franklin Stephens, Colin Kennedy, John Rattray, Paul Shier, Nick Jensen, Ali Cairns, a young Danny Brady, Toby Shuall, Mark Baines, Scott Palmer and more. Filmed by Magee and Adam Mondon this is without question a British classic.

'Oski' is an intimate portrait of a young prodigy and the culture that surrounds him. A film documenting a year in the life of skateboarding sensation Oskar ‘Oski’ Rozenberg as he transforms from cool street skater to celebrity sportsman competing in the Olympics. The demands of being a sportman with a shot at the gold medal in Tokyo weighs hard on Oski. It’s obvious that he is not your everyday athlete. Can his sport, and his culture survive the transition from underground to mainstream? And will he loose himself and everything dear to him in the process? 'Oski' explores the history of a subculture at a pivotal point in its history and how a humble and different thinking athlete, loved and adored by thousands of skateboarders all around the world, struggles to find his own path in life as an adult and sportsman.

A skateboarding film featuring the Lakai team filmed over the course of 4 years.

If you follow skateboarding at all, you may have noticed that the “gulliest skate gang in London” has collaborated with the hippest bolt company in New York to drop a line of ***VERY RARE*** gear and a 20+ minute, cocaine-fueled video that’s sure to make Hypebeasts run to max out their credit cards.

A skate video by Palace, filmed in Detroit over a seven-year period (2018–2025).

This is everything you could ever want from a skateboarding video.

Sagan Lockhart's Paris De Noche is an innovative skate film blending vibrant cityscapes with a unique artistic vision. Filmed across urban hubs like Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, and Paris, the project reimagines traditional skate video aesthetics by pairing stunning cinematography with an original score. The music, crafted by Alex Sowinski of BADBADNOTGOOD under his Group Climate moniker, evokes vintage influences, creating a cohesive audio-visual experience reminiscent of classic skate films while pushing boundaries. The film, directed by Naquan Rollings and produced by Lockhart, stars a talented ensemble of skaters including Jahmir Brown and Carlisle Aikens. It debuted alongside a viewing/listening event at Los Angeles’ HVW8 Gallery, emphasizing Lockhart’s role as both a storyteller and cultural curator​.

In uncertain times, an eclectic roster from the Swoosh stays focused on the one thing that always rules. With epic sections from GT, Daan, Oski, Korahn, Hause and more, this vid shines with a much-needed light. Appreciate the constant.

Lost and Found, return of simple things. Lost & Found is a film containing the skateboarding of the Blueprint team, their friends, and the extended fellowship. If you fancy a brew of sound, visuals, and skateboarding with personality, then have a sip of this. Filmed in Europe and Great Britain.

Gus kicks off another certified Bronze full-length, with Trahan, Rizzo, Shanahan and crew delivering the goods. This is what we’ve been waiting for...
