Arise Skates (Video)
Reviewed by I.B. Willis
If you are interested in skating, get this tape. If you have ever bought or rented a skate video, get this tape. If you have some unsaved friends who are skaters, get them this tape! Get the message dude?! The undisputed street skating king (for the King) is Andre Walton, and he totally thrashes tricks up and down the deck. His talent gives us would-be sidewalk shredders something to aspire toward. Andre and his team tear through pools, ramps, tennis courts, parking lots, and more--and there's totally rad tunes jammin' behind them. Crucified, scaterd-few, S.F.C., Seventh Angel, and more. Filmed mostly in Southern Cal, you get the supreme SK8vibe. Cool footage from C-Stone too. The thing that separates this video from the rest, every 10 minutes or so Andre asks one of his team about Jesus, and it's done in a totally cool way. At the end of the tape Andre gives his testimony and it's sure to open up some hearts to the Truth. Over 40 minutes of cool tunes, thrashing SK8-ers and the Truth about Life--what more do you want dude!!!
