BM2k starring Andy Vasquez, Erik Smith, Issac Southard, Joe Nicolello, and others.
In 9th grade I met Erik Smith skating at Hollywood Video in the eastside of Allentown. He was pretty cool and we went skating a few times, but then he told me he was having a video coming out and eventually towards the end of 9th grade (or maybe it was the beginning of 10th grade?) I got a copy. Andy V starts it off with a pretty sick part but you can tell that this was a different phase in his life by the trick selection, loading dock/steps, and the Ludacris song. Although his trick selection is a lot different than nowadays you can see his inner anti hero when he does a boardslide transfer on a orange barrier which I still think is nuts. Although he's probably embarassed by this footage I think awesome. Erik Smith skates to Reggie and the Full Effect, has a badonkadonk, and does a fs halfcab flip down a gap which is probably the last time anyone in the area did that trick besides on flat, also his first line is pretty choice. The next part is a bunch of kids I've seen at Homebase or at Liberty that I never really got to know, but Jack Kroemer's footage was awesome. Issac Southard is another kid that I never met, but his footage is cool and he could bs nosegrind better when he was 15 than I ever will. Joe Nicolello has the last part and it's pretty nuts, he was ahead of the curve on tight acid wash jeans and does my favorite bs shove it ever caught on film. Alot of his footage was nuts back then but honestly it still holds up, the switch ollie down liberty, and of course the nollie bs 180 down Dunnegan. I'm not really sure where Joe is or what he does, but I know if we went to Dunnegan he could probably nollie bs 180 it in under 7 tries.
I thought this video was cool back in the day because it's quick, unlike the Clear Out (the Bishop video). While Clear Out was like 45 minutes long, I think the last part is over around the 13 minute mark in Bm2k, which honestly is how videos should be.
