About This Movie

So, Issue 47 of 411VM is a cool blend of skate culture from the early 2000s, focusing on some well-known names like Steve Caballero and Andy Macdonald. The pacing has that laid-back yet energetic feel typical of skate videos back then—lots of tricks, camaraderie, and raw park footage. You see places like Oakville and Ladner skateparks, which adds a real sense of community, something that’s pretty unique to this issue. The vibe is unmistakably skateboarding, with a mix of styles and personalities that really capture the essence of the era. Plus, the practical effects are just the raw skating itself, no flashy edits to distract from the skill on display.

411VM has a cult following among skateboarding enthusiasts, and Issue 47 holds a certain charm that resonates with collectors. Its format fits into a long history of skate video magazines, and while not as widely available as earlier editions, it still has a niche appeal.
