This video is Titled "Magic Board" and it was directed by Spike Lee. I think it's a great example of art and life coming together to represent a culture that is not often given attention to in this sort of a narrative way. It seems like all the skate movies are just clip after clip of trick after trick and then a fail montage at the end for laughs. This was a really unique narrative that was presented in a playful manner and it was completely enjoyable. I love this video personally and think the concept behind it is so clever. A skateboard that goes around from person to person bringing a brief moment of happiness before getting passed on to the next person is a powerful uniting symbol of skate culture. All these skaters share the same passion and it is expressed through the video very well.
