Arto saari - Menikmati

[aaronchill1]

legendary video remember me at the good old days

[kmg606]

this was such an exciting time for skateboarding.. back when it was all about fucking raw street skating and arto was the man.. miss those days.. now all these young kids with their tight pants and emo haircuts.. wuth the fuck happend..

[bodymassage]

the only problem with menikmati was that the best part was first...

[poonhelm]

man these were the fuckin days sick part sick video, back when everything was carefree and skating was life!

[blckwidow]

The good ol days brings back memories...

[FanzyHanzy]

Arto was the best street skater in the world at this time. My friends and I would watch this part every day of the summer, and then go out and skate for the entire day. A life with nothing to worry about, and nothing but wonderfull memories. So happy i searched for this, it really brings back memories of the best days of my life.

[radiomindtherapy]

I found my Flip Sorry on VHS but god dammit I don't have a VCR!!!

[hmmsmellslikefish]

@radiomindtherapy I still have Interface on VHS but I have the same fucking problem!

[radiomindtherapy]

Killer switch. 

[armin38822]

I just love to see a normal dude like arto,wearing just a simple white t-shirt and jeans while being totally brutal on a skateboard. nothing fancy..just raw skateboarding. he doesn't have to dress a certain way to show his personality...his skating does the talking. oh and the music helps to.

[KillerToyMachine]

this is skating at its rawest wish skating was like this again

[spokismyfriend]

what is he doing at 2:17 i see ppl do that alot,what does it do?

[arthurtats]

@spokismyfriend its for when you have new griptape, and you wanna sand away the edges to make the board look cleaner

[CockParkour]

What the redy blury transition in the begining called lol?



[LaxeSkateboarding]

@CockParkour "film burn"

[antdoguitar]

didn't Heath Kirchart do the same line at that spot?? 3:16

[mchilly07]

@antdoguitar dont think heath ever got it, i only saw footage of the bail

[antdoguitar]

@mchilly07 your right, i can only find the bail too.

[TheDudeOnTheDrums]

i think some people don't realise when he's skating switch.

this guys style and skills are just beautiful.

[WhoAreYouRe]

@TheDudeOnTheDrums Man I forgot how good Arto was, he blends between Goof and Regs like its so natural...amazing

[MrJayra210]

Arto makes me skate and just shred when I can.

One of the greatest of all time.

[robbysharolaid]

Arto has been my favorite ever since I began to skate

[MrHAZEORADE]

thanks for uploading the full part. haven't seen this shit in forever! i have this video on dvd but its scratched to hell and can't watch it, so thanks again man!

to all the young skaters, skateboarding is an expression of yourself. everybody has they're own style and ways of doing things, there's no being better at it than somebody else. so if you're keeping track of "who did what at a certain spot" or "who's better than who" than your outlook on skateboarding is not a very positive one.

[SuperStrangeone]

to all you new skaters its like this,,he waz the 2-pac of skate boarding,,he waz the doors of skateboarding.like the first cell phone that came out,,now days their is alot of new shit but their all just taking of from where arto left of...bitches..

[SuperStrangeone]

yeah man thats true,,i'm 23 now no longer skate,,and most of these tricks that now day amatures are doing is nothing new,,,arto sarri was it back when i was 12 years old,,,he took it to the next level,,,,and it waz because of him that alot of skaters tried to step up their game but where already to late to do so ..so their is no doubt that all new lil booties got inspired by arto and started taking skateboarding to another level......he waz the shit back then..

[owskiONE]

BIG video!! thanks for putting it back up. used to have this back in the days of VHS.. such a sick video.. the chaos/montage section on the original was amazing, you would be a hero if you could put that on?.. amazing video anyway.

[QuickSixx]

2:08 Start button for FREE! :)



[blackonblackseven]

THIS VIDEO WAS THE SHIT WHEN IT CAME OUT. ONE OF THE BEST VIDS EVER.

RESPECT THE ES

[habitat245]

Arto is the man for usin a CKY/Foreign Objects song...it compliments is ridiculous skating

[AdmXoklY]

Casual skaters are ruining skateboarding

Like casual gamers ruin gaming

Stop trying to be cool by playing Call of Duty and start loving gaming as your passion.

[TheMrDolph]

arto is the man! was that switch? muaha

[gcopee]

I remember watching this for the first time and being blown away that he nollie heelflipped into a noseslide. Then he did it on a hand rail later in his part, and the switch back lip? Fuck, man.



[thefingerboarder12]

yo dude i am young and i love this skater he is immense he has riskrd his life for skateboarding i dont like these show off skaters this is his best footage he really did mold skateboarding into what it is he is my favourite skater i understand know good skating when i see it

[rippendale]

This part has influenced my skating since day one

[Comakaze87]

Arto is sick! always has been and always will be.

[MrCokemaster05]

I have it this on VHS still og style

[westcoastlaxer06]

Who still has this on VHS?!?!?!

[Bfixico]

not to mention this is far from the best from Arto Saari...there was always all the sorry parts...and this newer mindfield part...and if you seen him in the old CKY vids that was good shit too...legendary skateboarder...these new cats cant fuck with him...

[alTreezy]

Switch back lip, switch front board 18, frontboard El Toro like it was a 3 step... Get real kids... this was 2000... How old was Corey Kennedy? Ohh like 9? nuff said... Know your place in this world, talkin shit about one of the realest dudes in skateboarding is not cool.. Check your history... Corey Kennedy, Shane O'neil, T-Pud, they watched Aarto and shit their pants as kids... get your mind right youngsters and stop going to Zumiez... Pick up a Thrasher Mag or Big Brother or Transworld and

[RollForever88]

I cant even fucking believe that I would see the day that people would be even questioning Arto Saari's ability on a skateboard. You want to compare him to some fuckin mark ass amateur? get the fuck out of here, this guy helped mold skateboarding into what it is today, he was killing it before half these little kids were even a twinkle in their mothers eye

[wazaaaaaa1234]

@RollForever88 spot on. all the younger guys are a lot more concerned about their hairstyle rather than their actual skating... or their balls for that matter but thats cause they dont have any...

[jdmmaffia]

@RollForever88 bought this video the day it came out just for this part. Arto's a god

[briantw002]

switch front board an 18??? dude is amazing... nuff said

[IIILuDaCrIsIII]

@briantw002

Pretty sure he skates regular, but none the less that was pretty damn sweet!

[briantw002]

@IIILuDaCrIsIII it was at 5:57 not down el toro

[MikeTupperTheKiller]

is that fucking el toro?

[tlongo2]

respect the past embrace the present

[ketium]

all skate videos should be filmed on blackberrys

[forgottencity]

yes fuck HD it makes skating look rediculous....go look at photosynthesis and static 3.... then go look at all these new HD promos people are putting out

[griptapedogg]

best video part ever by anyone

[GreenGeneStinkyFoot]

Greatest skate video ever.

[forgottencity]

young skaters have no fucking respect these days...ALSO FUCK HD

[wazaaaaaa1234]

@forgottencity you my friend are the man!

[acisbad555]

@forgottencity you cant even go to a fn skate shop and buy a decent skate video nemore..its all on youtube..shit is wack

[TommyTomTom9562]

@forgottencity Fuck HD?

[codyantcliffe]

es, then etnies, now gravis. downhill

[adriankohatsu]

ARTO RULES!!!!

[theazism]

why is he pro when corey kennidie is still am hes soo much better then this guy

[wazaaaaaa1234]

@theazism because you are an idiot. because arto changed the face of skateboarding and corey is a kid in his puberty who is just the same as every other 15 year old these days. and because arto can do ridiculous shit at a biblical scale and make it look so easy that even my 70 year old grandmother would believe she can do if she tries, while the first thing you see when the youngsters do a trick is their ass sticking above everything while their heads are between their legs. questions?

[theazism]

@wazaaaaaa1234 lol ya iz ur dildo named arto sarri?

[wazaaaaaa1234]

@theazism no but feel free to call it apollo 11

[eatyourface33]

@theazism Arto is pro because he's straight up gnar. Corey Kennedy can do a whole bunch of flippy things, yay for him. Arto can skate El Toro, and make it look effortless.

[TheJesseSurakka]

@theazism 2007 i thougt that sheckler and all these skaters where worlds best,but now theres guys like nugget,felipe gustavo,torey puwill,its mutch harder to go pro now than like 3 years ago

[PersecutionOFFICIAL]

damn, remembering the good ol' days

[Catch22ish]

I would like to see an episode of epicly later'd on this guy

[Catch22ish]

one of the earliest videos i've seen and loved

[natetheinadequate]

[ReelMovieAirbags]

@natetheinadequate Cky - Testing

[enjoiskating88]

HAPPY 10 Year Anniversary Menikmati!

[johnnyq1992]

[WhiteLabelRoor]

He had the sickest song in the video.

[TheTuoMorte]

[wazaaaaaa1234]

@TheTuoMorte good luck :P

[lucadepu]

@TheTuoMorte oh yeah you are so going to find an hd version of something filmed with a vx.

[TheTuoMorte]

@lucadepu HQ.. Whatever..

[RossKnowltonSkates]

@TheTuoMorte If you go the Es website, go to the Es timeline, and go to 2000 off to the right hand side they have each individual part in really good quality.

[omaridotcom]

Dick Raiser

[Leslaash]

THE BEST!

[godklr]

Name of song please!................???

[DragonDynastyFans]

@godklr CKY - Testing

[nomorals18]

this is the best

[popoking729]

this is such an epic part, i just hate how allot of the footage is overexposed

[tekmek123]

I think the rule of thumb when you're sitting on NBD footage is that if it is released first, you did it first.

[tekmek123]

Retard, Heath was there first.

[deathsimm]

thinking about this part got me through work today, and skating home even sweeter

[almostcutmyhair777]

how does that make us both "pwned" you were wrong and i proved you wrong u tried to come through with some hate and u just ended lookin dumb. Not to mention i highly doubt heath had any knowledge of artos line cause these videos came out months apart.

[NegativeNick]

@almostcutmyhair777 yeah and you can't really compare a 17 / 17 to a 8 / 17

[almostcutmyhair777]

@enjoiskate78 watch the footage closely in sight unseen your wrong heath was trying a lipslide on a bigger first rail than arto the only person who got "pwned" here was you

[mrRyansmith01]

switch fs board down el toro, why not?

[trumpazzbitch]

@mrRyansmith01

that wasnt switch....

[skaterboi24]

@trumpazzbitch yes retard it was switch

[trumpazzbitch]

@skaterboi24

alright faggot, first of all arto is regular footed, so that was a regular front board, not switch.

second skaterboi, you don't even know how to skate.

third, kill yourself.

[RossKnowltonSkates]

@trumpazzbitch hell yeah!

[sMoKiNg80z]

such an epic part

[euphoZ]

menikmati --> one of the biggest vidz ever! big up!!

[JKSK8ERLIVE]

[skedepelle]

[teppotulppu123]

suomi rules arto saari voittaa kaikki

[whycantibefree]

Finnish people are rad .. suomi rules

[BADRATT2008]

this guys new part in mind field is so good...he has definitely evolved with the flow of skating

[artoiskewl]

your right skateboarding has evolved a little bit but i dont think nobody front boards el toro for a warm up

[Jukazar]

Does anyone knows what the menikmati means?

[cowboyfromhell02]

Does anybody know the name of the intro song??

[IMgoingtoupthepunx]

Testing - cky

[villevalonen]

Still loving it, saw a part of this when it came around late 90's, i was around 7-8 years old :D

Arto is an awesome skater, even this is like 10 years old, you can still compare this part to nowadays videos

Intro is also funny, since arto moved to California, he really cant speak finnish anymore, must be hard to remember since you have to speak other language everyday

[roscoelight]

I remember watching this every day after school being amazed. Still am, but it's crazy how skateboarding has evolved. Half these tricks are what these guys do for warm ups now!

[wowix123]

finlands boy!!!!!!  I love finland!!!!!

[Jamescnika]

old cky instrumentals are the shitt

[BestemorTraktor]

Anyone know the Intro song from Menikmati? Where they show the world map.. Then zoome into "Arto Saari" Finland

[4wheels8bearings]

Amon Tobin - Slowly

[JiffyJones5]

yea, gotta be. it's cool, kinda dif. from the vhs. the ender-enders are better too, not super slo-moed.

[lookforward456]

on the dvd they are slo moed. i Uploaded this version a couple of years ago and i guess someone saved it and reuploaded it.I made the slo mo part normal speed and then ramped them.

[JiffyJones5]

oo. kick ass man, that's sick it got saved. it's much better like that w/ the enders.

[wazaaaaaa1234]

i saved it. and that was back when downloading videos from youtube was pretty much a mistery XD high 5

[SteezyEteezy]

yeah, this is the dvd version...

[bassSKATER88]

Holy shit.

I never knew arto hit el toro.

He did the one trick the guy from canida fucked up on too.

[esfootwearrocks]

nah dan was trying a switch front board...big diffrence

[dmanschaumbizzie]

that dan guy pushes mongo. Its not switch

[esfootwearrocks]

it was switch dude...i would bet my life on it

[wadedesarmo]

It was switch.

[lookforward456]

hahah thats so funny this is the one i uploaded a couple of years ago but got taken down. i know because i ramped the last tricks hahaha.

[23D1998]

[Simisdim]

i swear thats old cky music

[theqbfan]

yep..... testing

[scotto2114]

[BOULALITA]

fs board el toro enoff said

[pedkicksass]

menikmati's my favourite skate video of all time. no gimmicks, no competin tryin to out do everything video out there, just a pure simple skate video, the way it used to be

[Nihilism13]

Pure and simple? Minus the 10 minute intros... But yeah. Pretty sick.

[tschubidi]

I like most of the intros because they give an insight into the past of the skaters.

[jwizzy18]

his last few bangers are fuckin crazy...especially for this vids time

[tryskateboarding001]

Somebody needs to upload Rick McCranks original part in Menikmati.

[skaterobban]

that big ship viking line goes past my house in sweden everyday i live on top of the hill so i see all the boats there :P

[FarleyisGod]

all time skateboarding hero...that's really saying something.

[gundi95]

so far arto's best part

[slepebooboo]

i love that intro never gets old when this video came out i just started skateboarding...nice song 2

[originalmusic401]

[penguinsauce87]

arto skating a 12-16 stair handrail is like me skating my flat bar in my driveway.
