Static IV

About This Movie

Static IV is kind of a culmination of everything that’s been building in the skate scene over the years. It feels raw and textured, like old footage but with a fresh twist. The energy of the NYC to SF shifts is palpable, and the cameos? They just add this layer of nostalgia and surprise that keeps you engaged. You get to see legends and up-and-comers all in one package, which feels pretty special. The pacing flows well, moving from one city to another, capturing not just the tricks but the whole vibe of each place. It's really about the community more than just the skating itself.

Static IV has had a somewhat limited release, making original copies a bit harder to find, especially in good condition. Collectors appreciate its grassroots approach, the mix of well-known and underground skaters, and the raw aesthetic that’s hard to replicate in today’s polished market. The film’s combination of various locations and the vibe from the skate culture makes it a noteworthy piece for anyone diving into skateboarding history.
