Skate videos and edits can elevate a song from obscure to immortal. The precise pairings of sound, that moment when a song clicks with the footage—it makes you feel like a skater, in touch with the sublime.

Like spot selection and style, the choice of song is part of the trick, and when timed correctly, it elevates and enhances your skate video viewing experience.
