411VM: Issue 67

About This Movie

411VM: Issue 67 is one of those documentaries that captures a particular slice of early 2000s skate culture with a raw edge. The pacing is pretty laid-back, not trying to push too hard on excitement, which gives it an almost nostalgic, home-video feel. You get a look into day trading with Rob Dyrdek, which feels like an odd juxtaposition against the backdrop of skateboarding. And then there's the DC summer tour segment, showcasing the camaraderie of the skaters through this unique experience of '42 days of meat and cheese.' It's not overly polished, but it has this organic vibe that reflects the culture it represents, making it a distinct piece in the 411VM series.

This issue is a part of the 411VM series, which has become a bit of a treasure for collectors of skateboarding memorabilia. It's not the easiest find, as many of these volumes were produced in limited runs, and the documentary style can feel niche. There's definitely a growing interest in the series as people look back on the roots of skate culture from the early 2000s. The rawness and authenticity offer something different than more mainstream skate content, which keeps collectors intrigued.
