British skateboarding has always by necessity utilised the dark, dirty streets of industrial towns and cities. The Velvet Underground’s career was based around romanticising dark, dirty streets, albeit those found across the Atlantic, which is perhaps why Mark Channer skating to ‘The Black Angel’s Death Song’ works so well. In fact the whole video is a master class in editing to the right music – I don’t even like half the songs in there, they use Radiohead for fuck’s sake, but somehow they make it work and you couldn’t imagine any section in the video set to anything else.
