H-Street - This Is Not The New H-Street Video

About This Movie

So, H-Street's 'This Is Not The New H-Street Video' is kind of a wild ride, you know? It's not your typical skate video, more like a mashup of all the stuff that didn't quite fit in their earlier projects. The vibe is gritty and raw, capturing that unpolished aesthetic that skateboarding embodies. The pacing feels a bit erratic, but in a way that mirrors the skate culture of the early '90s—a bit chaotic, but thrilling. Two soundtracks give it a unique twist, one leaning towards punk with Operation Ivy, and the other with Bad Religion. Makes for a different experience each time you watch. It's more about the atmosphere and the scene than anything else, really.

This release is somewhat obscured in skate history, as the director remains unknown and the genres aren't clearly defined, which adds to its allure for collectors. The two versions with different soundtracks have created a modest but steady interest among fans of the era, making it a unique piece for those who appreciate the evolution of skate culture on film. While not as widely available as mainstream skate videos, copies do pop up, and they can be a bit of a treasure hunt to find. Collectors often enjoy discussing the various elements that make each viewing a fresh experience.
