Skating with Dave and Jared

About This Movie

So, 'Skating with Dave and Jared' is this quirky little 90s flick that kinda floats in the background of skate culture cinema. It’s got this laid-back tone, almost like a documentary in style but more narrative-driven. The pacing is pretty chill, giving you those long skater lifestyle shots that just feel right. The performances, while not award-winning, have this genuine vibe, like you’re actually hanging out with these guys. It’s distinctive for its practical effects that capture the skating tricks in a raw way, rather than the slick CGI we see nowadays. A slice of life from another era, it’s kind of a time capsule for skate enthusiasts.

This film has had a somewhat elusive presence in the collector community, with reports of it existing in only a few limited formats. The VHS releases seem to be the most common, with some rare promotional copies floating around, but the DVD hasn’t really made waves at all. Its appeal lies primarily with hardcore skater collectors and those with a fondness for niche 90s films. As more people discover it, there’s a mild uptick in interest, but it’s not exactly mainstream—definitely a unique find.
