The intro to Mark Baines’ “WORD” interview from Sidewalk issue 187 (April 2012) really did sum up Mark’s approach to skateboarding perfectly – he genuinely has “been there, done that” in every sense; the vast archive of video parts, interviews, covers and all the rest is there for the world to see and stands testament to his sheer dedication to skating.

Over the years he’s had countless classic video parts, though, like a lot of people who came up through the mid to late 1990’s, a fair share of his equally as rad coverage appeared in montages, friends sections and on scene videos that were hard to get hold of, the majority of which aren’t instantly accessible online right now.
So back in 2012, to coincide with the release of Mark’s interview, we went rummaging around in the VHS archives and pieced together our second ‘VHS Mixtape’ comprised of some of Mark’s finer moments from the late 90’s/early 00’s that might have otherwise slipped through the interweb cracks.
