aka: ON Video Skateboarding Magazine
Do you remember On Video Magazine? Seriously, if you do, you know exactly what the current generation of skateboarders are missing out on. On Video Magazine was a super well edited set of skateboarding films.

Unfortunately, there were only a few issues made and they’re getting super hard to find around the net. If you’re lucky, your old skate shop just might have one piled underneath an older set of leftover unsold skate videos. By all means, if you can you should get your hands on some of these videos. They were amazingly well done and the skateboarding was always top notch, even in today’s insane growth of trickery and standards.

They always had cool themes and a mind blowing intro to each flick. The music was always different and amazing. And my favorite part was the documentaries that they would do at the end of all of the films. Those would be the “featured” article of each issue. Perhaps one of my favorites would have to be the history behind the “Carlsbad gap” or the entire revolution of skateboarding with Rodney Mullen or Natas Kaupas.

It's the realm of mystical experience. And those who've been there describe the visit as the most significant event of their lifes. Until recent times that was a world known only to holy men, to saints, or perhaps to the insane. Then a generation ago this drug, LSD, escaped from the laboratory. It was consumed by millions of young people. To some it's a doorway to the mystical universe, chemical ecstasy, enlightenment in a bottle. To others it's a dangerous and subversive poison."
 
Spin (1995)
Artist Brian Springer spent a year scouring the airwaves with a satellite dish grabbing back channel news feeds not intended for public consumption. The result of his research is SPIN, one of the most insightful films ever made about the mechanics of how television is used as a tool of social control to distort and limit the American public's perception of reality.

He subsequently learned of al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden, and investigated the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia and the 2000 USS Cole bombing in Yemen.

When researchers began looking into just how much the Soviet government knew about UFOs and extraterrestrial visitation, they were not surprised to learn that the Russians took the subject very seriously. What they didn't expect was evidence of ancient alien visitation, paranormal properties associated with related artifacts, and most shocking of all, of a mass abduction in 1985! Among the piles of materials obtained from former Soviet spies, some extremely puzzling and disturbing documents and film footage surfaced confirming rumors which had been circulating for decades. In the late 1950s and 60s, the Russians became very interested in a number of unusual and newly discovered archaeological sites in Egypt. By interpreting ancient symbols, one of those sites was believed to contain the remains of a life form not from earth. Startling top secret film footage, never before seen outside the Kremlin confirms the Soviet mission to recover and analyze these remains. But the most astonishing part of this story is that a small following of believers was formed in the years after the initial discovery - scientists and others who were convinced of a return of the extraterrestrial entity depicted in the ancient writings. Investigators discovered a videotape held for over twenty years by Egyptian police. Here, for the first time ever, the public will see the arresting five-minute clip showing an entire group of followers returning to the ancient site and then completely vanishing from the desert!
