Donny Barley #6.



Gnarly Barley levitates a pop shove-it in Germany. This is a great photo of a fundamental trick done very well.

It dawned on me that This Is Skateboarding could have had parts from Donny and Justin Strubing. They were both on Emerica at the start of the filming process and split before the video was released.

Who does the Skate Video Site? It's a handy resource to have for looking up videos and the corresponding soundtracks. However, there are so many little errors and omissions. Nobody ever has the Don't Mean Maybe song listed for Memory Screen, even though "Bliss" is cited in the credits. Another band that never gets recognized is Fluf, O's band. They were in a ton of videos in the early to mid 90s. I understand full well that skateboard videos can drift into super obscure territory for music and that's why we love 'em, but a little more research can go a long way to making a project better in the end.
