Zero Skateboards Presents 'Misled Youth' - Video Saturdays

Zero's  Misled Youth tops my list of all-time favorite skate videos.  There I was, just a little tyke with my very first skateboard setup... I would watch this video on repeat every night, and this was back with VHS when you had to rewind the tape every time you wanted to watch it again.

What makes this video so great? I always think of Misled Youth as the defining video of the street era of skateboarding.  It was so damn raw; unadulterated.

This is when skateboarding had finally made it's comeback, and these dudes were hungry for a piece.  It represents street skating back before the industry got insanely wrapped up in image versus passion.  I mean, just look at Jim Greco--no frilly lace, no gypsy adornments, no oversized chick sunglasses...just the skating.

Misled Youth also has one of the raddest skate video soundtracks ever! Come on; you've got Sabbath, old school Modest Mouse, Queen, The Doors, Slayer, and the list goes on. 

Unfortunately a lot of the soundtrack was lost to YouTube licensing bullshit, and equally unfortunate I had to try and piece together the movie from memory for you to enjoy...but the good news is if you never had the chance to, at least now you can:
