Chris Brow's "Born To Skate" (1988) Short Version

Greg Fedell, John Shock and Andy Rodgers star in "Born To Skate". Shot in 1988 around the streets of Grosse Pointe Michigan featuring the music of Crossed Wire. We were all in high school, I was a sophomore, Greg and John were seniors and Andy was in college somewhere in Toledo Ohio. My first camera was a Sony 8mm camcorder and I used many of its features in this video. I edited on two 3/4" video tape machines with no special effects devices.

This is great. Thanks for putting it up! This is surprisingly-well-shot footage from the era. Beautiful day and night camcorder performance! I'm impressed. Though the effect caused by zooming almost made me throw up, haha...
