asian skateboarding dvds reviews, sorta...

panaroma - di mana kita berada
ironxhanger ©i copped this dvd a few years back from a local skate store and have only watched it a few times since. the footages in this dvd are not too shabby neither are they "professionally" done but it's good either ways. it features mostly skateboarders from all parts of malaysia and dang, some of these peeps shred really hard and they have good bags of tricks on 'em too! there are also a couple of skateboarders from hong kong, if i am not mistaken, whom are friends of the producers, featured in this too. this dvd features malaysian skateboarders such as syakir, joe ipoh, ah thong (he fuckin' ollied over a honda cup!), usher, fuad, pa'adin musa, keiron brodie, kecik kepong and loads of other malaysian locals. this was done in 2007 and most of them have progressed to levels on par as that to most american and european amature skateboarders. do not under-estimate these malaysian skateboarders just 'cause they are asian malays. running time of this dvd is estimated at approximately seventy minutes. i am not sure if this particular dvd is still available out there but if it is, you betta cop one and witness this one for yourself. i'd rate this dvd 7/10, 'cause it could have been a lot better in my opinion. maybe i had high expectations from this (?).

30 days - skate video project
ironxhanger ©this is a really interesting dvd that i purchased a few weeks back from krookz, a skate store in kuala lumpur, malaysia. it was shot within 30 days, hence the title. the footages in this dvd are so fuckin' bad and i seriously do not understand why they had to do such a rush job (?). this is more like a documentary film as such to "a day in a life of..." more or less, if you catch my drift. directed by munir muhammad, this dvd features malaysian skateboarders such as usher, fuad, eyman tk, azreen, adam, a few other malaysian locals and the hom hom family. i wouldn't recommend anyone to purchase this dvd even tho' it only cost 12rm. i have nothing much to say about this particular video and honestly, this could have been a whole lot better but what do i know, right? oh well... i'd rate this dvd 4/10, 'cause d.i.y does not have to be crappy, 'nuff said.

check out the mont-k.
