I've heard two versions of this song that I've liked: the original and Stimy (RIP) doing an acoustic version of it, which gave the song a completely different feel. I'm not sure what it is, but I can't get into this version.
That's not saying it's bad. I'm an audience of one and I'm just not feeling it for whatever reason. Maybe because it's not the original, I don't know. On a scale from 1 to 5, it's a 3.
awesome homage!!!! great tribute to one of the most influential skaters of all time. i think it would be great to watch one about Natas, hydrant spin anyone? LOL
I clicked on this cause I saw "A Lot Less" in the title. Love the old tune. Then I realized what was actually going on! This is one of the best things I've ever seen! Hensley has always been one of my all-time favorites. Awesome tribute all around. Love the Historics cover of the song!
Dope! Someone pulls off the 540 ollie on the mini ramp (2:08)..but didn't Hensley do a 720 olllie in one of these videos? The guy at :57-1:05 looks (and skates) totally like Matt Hensley!! ;O Is it him??
For reals! Heath nailed it. This was such a good idea. O'Dell is doing the most awesome stuff for skating right now while everyone else seems to be blowing it.
wicked video/tribute. hensley's part was the most watched on my beat up betamax. can't say the song does the original justice (a disappointment for sure). thank you for this!
Lovely period piece! Some of the finest acting,editing and filming I've seen. Heath should get an oscar for his portrayal of Hensley. Mike Rusczyk should keep filming. He rips!
its good to see some mike ruscyzk, i thought he was gonna be off the skaitng map for ever after he retired. at least he left with the unspkoen title of best no comply ever.
hensley was my fucking hero when i started skating in 1990. 20 years, holy god...goes without saying that the original is the best but it's nice to see the recognition. not to sound to nostalgic but those were fun days, none of us ever gave a thought to being sponsored, just tried to do our own little version of ripping. i'm glad that spirit still lives in some of these guys who can do stuff that hensley wouldn't have even believed back then. dill, spanky, slash, on & on.
"yeaah Matt!" Fucken rad clip. The dude doing the sidewalk no-complies and step offs is nowhere near as smooth as Matt's part in Shackle was. Still a fun clip to watch though.

Hensley is the shit. Sub Society was the shit too. I actually bought their 7" with this song on it. It was a prized possession until I needed the $50 that somebody offered me.
