0:57 "oh shit!"

[e123j1]

yes

[11Jurriaan]

sounds like backwards

[skateordie002]

does the spot at 0:19 look familiar?

[AtomicVHPunk]

Jack Johnson has the same story but with surfing :p quite funny actually 'cause if they both wouldn't have had these accidents we would probably not be enjoying their  lovable music =]

[leonaschubert4]

He was professional skateboarder, until he smashed his leg by an accident, after that he started making music. DAMN GOOD MUSIC!

[11Jurriaan]

@leonaschubert4 no, he wasn't prof. But in the time he was in hospital, most of his friends became prof.

[ElekrticFlo]

The audio cracks me up.

Sounds like the mic was in a coffee can.....that was underwater.

[upsguy55616]

[doranPartII]

[LoveAngelfoever]

sunshine fits in good with this video. its just the song is a little bit longer than the video.

[ottomanbob]

ya..i tried playing it at the same time and looked relally good

[duffel567]

he shouldve made a part with his song in it thats what i wouldve done.

[Emerica632]

mad props for the stoners who can go from skating to making trippy music.

[Blendin777]

Nope, it's Matt Costa the SKATER

[animeilove08]

Nope. Matt costa used to skate before he pursued music. I never really thought guys who skated that well listened to folk ^^

[jahahese]

[panda3xpr3ss]

[aNiR1243]

@Jin1Eye yuuup !

[AndreaGerardi09]

i see the shadow of the men with the cam...

[sk8a95]

Matt Costa still skates. I talked to him at his concert on Kaua'i (thats in Hawaii if you don't know where that is) and my friend asked if he still skated. He said that yes, he still does in Huntington beach where he lives. He was the chillest guy to talk to. I wish I could've skated with him.

[AmbassadorDJ]

he was friends with Jereme Rogers

JK

[thatslifeee]

hahaha well at least Matt Costa is multi- talented... where as Jereme Rogers is only good at skating lol

[cableguyskater]

lol

[clicheskate19]

dude had skills, he skrewed his leg up though, thats why he does music now, he even got an article in thrasher, and i think that this should serve as an example for all of the people who stereotype skateboarders

[jeremytuellmusic]

I say Matt Costa is a bad ass musician and skateboarder. I can't believe how good he is at skateboarding.

[ttran87]

so does this mean all awkwardly skinny skateboarders have the potential to turn in to super hot mancandy one dayy?? if so, i need to start hanging around skate parks!

[lleodrummer]

sketchy rider

[pancho123007]

lol not that much

[iseecolin]

dude. your an idiot., loser. hes fuckin sweet.

[WPGskateboarding]

he sings now and he is amazing

[kc2omg]

yea!

[glitterzombie]

does anybody know of anymore videos of matt costa skating??? please let me know

[Milliondollarman]

Something's in my coffee, yeah

There's something in my coffee, yeah

[wallace7jefferson]

anyone know whether he was pro or am

[Ififell123]

why can't he skate anymore?

[jdegrave3300]

he messed up his leg and was in the hospital for 18 months :(

[ormox]

wrong, he messed up his leg and couldn't skate for 18 months. rehabilitation took 18 months.

would have been a pretty bad leg injury to be stuck in the hospital for over a year.... don't even think it's possible

[jdegrave3300]

haha that makes more sense

[yawgmoth69]

i'm glad he did

he's more valuble to us as a musician

[MrGlies]

could'a been cool to see a guy skating and singing and playing guitar... At the same time!

[doubleu12052]

This guy is awesome to hear play live ..and he loves the small venues..

[deerak]

He played a free concert at my school today. It was fuckin' dope!

[Ififell123]

shit dude!

THAT'S FUCKING TIGHT.

[deerak]

No shit, usually my school books shitty bands, but they did good this time!!!!

[moench90]

i think now he's happy about broking his knees :P

[thear675]

lol ur way too funny.

[cityboardshop]

learn how to film long lens geekus

[sk8a95]

This is the Matt Costa who did like Mr. Pitiful? No way, he skates? Cant believe it.

[nelanenalen]

he broke his knees.

[mooraga]

he blew is knees, and 18 months without skating turned him into a really god singer

[mooraga]

good sorry

[farmer759]

he used to skate*

then when he messed up his leg he took up a different path in music

[apcehaabhoe]

not too shabby... I have old footage from this guy from old CASL contests

[rawababyoku]

why did he go to singing. same with Jason Lee(earl off my name is earl) who went to acting?

[friedogs]

because it was something that he was also good at and enjoyed doing. along with jason lee and his acting career

[Kickflip91]

sounds like under water or sth.

[3510211]

holy shit i knew about him a skateboarder when i skated back in the day and now im listen to him thinking its a totally different guy

[eastsideskater97]

man i cant belive he sj=kates thats insane

[Nihilism13]

The skating/filming was sick but the audio killed me. Super harsh. Why no music?

[3991mccoy]

holy shitzzz is this the singer who sings tv gods???

[illbesnowboarding555]

yep

[TheNBT123]

This is a mixture of clips of Costa. Thanks for posting this nine year old video to Youtube! My friend Nagy who works as a photographer for a skater magazine used to film Matt Costa in the early decade.

[shoobibear44]

wow...this guys pretty good

[F4LL3NSKAT3R27]

no style though. his back is all humped out when he skates. he was still wicked good though. jesus he almost landed that tre! that would have been awesome. his style changed so much too, from those awkward baggy pants to the cooler stlye he has now.

[aLuthier]

holy cow... i was there when he crooked that uni 8 rail.

remember his face and the world ind. gear. that was literally 8-9 years ago.

thats dope that hes now mad famous.

[Donaonbestmo]

much better boarder than fucking singer. horrible music come back to skating business matt!

[becca15jg]

he is a great singer you ass.

[DonolovesMileyandsk8]

that hardflip at 0:49 is the shit

[robloco16]

he looks all wierd in those OG pants... 2000 was cool.. he has alot of good stuff in 411vm's

[killdatcow]

his music supprise's me, i sterio type skaters to punk music.

[Eyedias]

...

[Skatedallas]

...

[jamesurmak]

your a dumbass

[yoogregcon]

this isnt the 60's man haha

[IndiePhish]

don't flame me because this has been told like a thousand times already, i know that.

matt costa was a good skateboarder, he skated with guys who've become pro boarders by now, but he tried to ollie a very big stair and broke both of his knees. he wasn't allowed to skate for a long time, so he decided to write songs, which he still does.

[never2muchNOISE]

Thius is incedible! Matt Costa! I would've never guessed!

[lize206]

i wonder what made him want to start up music

[billbarttt]

he broke his leg or something then started jamming again.

[gagasirfinealots]

Too bad, he couldve gone far in the skateboarding industry =(

[Bronzemanikin]

I skated with him before his concert when he was touring with Jack Johnson.

He can rip still.

[sammello411]

what a tool

[azindude94]

he definetley pops the shields off his bearings it sounds like a growling bear lol

[wenahaone]

Man, I feel like such a bitch after watching this.

[itsjewryan]

i pictures him having a way steezer style but no doubt he rips haha

[royalsrdbomb]

to bad he doesnt really skate anymore hes to busy with his music

[robloco16]

i wonder if he still ever skates? you know, has a lil sesh every now and then.... he hangs out with raymond molinar and stuff so it seems like he would..

[changjm]

I think that guy really is Matt costa the musician. It says in wikipedia that he used to skateboard. He also looks like him a lot.

[PepsiPepsi1337]

no shit it is.

[xoxoMEGLETxoxo]

where is his poofy hair? =( its adorable...

[daltondudeskatedude]

thats sick. i enjoy matt costa's music. and im a skater and guitar player. i had no clue he skated. does he still skate?

[tsskater303]

no he messed up his knee really bad and had to have a bunch of surgeries or something and it took him away from skating

[azindude94]

WHOA WHOA WHOA so that is matt costa the singer right?

[Rabitnapkins]

Yes

Hes now a singer though

[dedoseis]

all right, so matt costa is like jack johnson but skating?

[PlagueDoctorBoy]

Ha,he's all around.Except his skating is crazy robotic,needs style...kinda like his music.

[cornonthecobbob]

it's kinda a weird crossover from skater to musician considering the type of music he sings...

but, i have to say that i am so thankful that he decided to become a musician! i love him and hope to see him live one day soon :)

[jcskater89]

hows it a weird cross over, I often skate to his music..

[cornonthecobbob]

ooh well that's cool. i'm sorry if you took that offensively or whatever. i just find it kinda interesting.

[dysfunctional337]

ive edited skating to matt costa and his music has been put in pro videos. it is deff a good mixture

[higzyguitarist]

sorry about the first comment but are you sure thats the musician matt costa? looks nothing like him. i belive you but are you sure?

[safariclothing]

Yep, it's him. That Footage was filmed 8 Years ago! He suffered a bad leg injury and then concentrated more on his music. It was really motivating skating with him back then. Go to one of his shows, you will not regret it!!! cheers.

[higzyguitarist]

thats not the singer matt costa its a different one!

[JohnChemic]

Damn, he was skating pretty sick.

But his music is just adorable.

[Gettinghitonattheban]

I can see why he switched to music.

(Not saying he's bad, but he obviously was pissed off throughout most of the video)

[493jake]

he hurt his knee or something, i think its better he switched to music, ITS GOOD SHIT!!

[hellomatt911]

how was he pissed of throughout the video? i saw no expression of anger

[SquirrelmasterCT]

you gay, he rips, fu.

[jeffumz100]

[HorseCrazyx0x]

Wow O_o he looks so unfamiliar without his adorable poofy hair <3 Love him!

[crizuxo]

[annemarie1s]

The only thing he doesn't do, is gig in the UK! Please tell me I'm wrong and I've just missed out! It's OK for you Yanks but what about us Brits? Matt, you'll have 'em all fallin at your feet here ;) xx

[Trevycakes]

[AdamWersky]

[teamrandom123]

[laisdr]

[buddude420]

[TTTTPPPMMM]

[neyeseek]

i know its mostly his short hair and his different dressing style ive seen a skate video with him in it and he realy is amazing at skating though

[flashbangkillah]

Ah, my favorite movie. "The Reason".

[laybackinthapark]

Too bad he got hurt, Matt had a real future. Oh well, at least hes still a good musician.

[Dansull123]

Music > Skateboarding

[x20Cinema]

Depends

[LaxeSkateboarding]

false

skateboarding>music x 100

[MsDos1991]

skateboarding=music

both are like a lifestyle or a additude to life

I think music and skateboarding have a lot in common.

[mrmcgiggles]

the fit hand in hand, favorite musician who i didnt know who skated which makes me appreciate him even more

[switchtre92]

SAME HERE
