For a short period when street skating started becoming popular he stopped skating vert and hit the streets, he was pretty good at it but it just looked unnatural. Obviously he went back to what he loved, vert skating. [VIDEO] [VIDEO]

Yeah it was only on the DVD copy. It was in one of the menus, not an addition to the main movie. That’s my fault for being confusing about that part. The Berrics talked about it with him awhile back and their footage has some of the stuff he filmed and was in that bonus section. Link is below if you want to see the closest I could find to that full street section compilation. [VIDEO]
