I need to know some good skate songs for a vid. It'll probly have 2 full length parts with a couple of shorter ones. I thought maybe Bleed It Out by Linkin Park or Red Flag by Billy Talent for some like hardcore parts and stuff, but I need to know what you think about those songs, and also some ideas for like some hardcore songs or more mellow songs.


Thanks:icon_drib

well, it really depends on the kind of skating you guys are doing, everything has to go with the beat of the song. show us the video first and then people will find it easier to help you out. They'll be abele to pick out a song that matches the beat of your skating. :)

Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley

Haha what elemental said.

i used to prefer like heavy metal stuff.. but rap is pretty goood for videos too. not the gay **** like soulja boy but lil wayne or sheek louch. but of course, thats my opinion

I will post video as soon as I completely finsih it. I got 1 main part done and we got 2 of the smaller parts done, but some other kids are on vacation getting footy so... I also sent the raw footage to our video editor, so I dont have it on hand. I was thinkin for my part (wich is gonna have alot of gnar wrecks and pretty fast tempo skating with a lil bit a sketchy stuff) to use a song called "Down With The Sickness" by "Disturbed" if you ever heard it you think that'd be good????

Well even if you dont like rap this song should be check out!
Wolf Wolf-three 6 mafia

Well even if you dont like rap this song should be check out!
Wolf Wolf-three 6 mafia


I'm a pretty big three 6 mafia fan. That would be pretty sweet to use. I just downloaded lolli lolli pop that body by three 6 mafia a lil while ago. It a good song, but not really for skatin. I'll check into Wolf Wolf.

do something cheesy, those are the best in my opinion.

for example, i chose this song for my crappy montage

6JfM_6quUGk

depends on the feel.
If it's high energy, some ACDC
If it's in ya face, some RATM
If it's got rollerbladers, some YMCA

put what ever kind of music u like in it.

I am gettin overloaded now!!!! lol. So far I got- Jarhand by Immaculate machine, Red Flag by Billy Talent, Throw It Up by Lil Jon and The East Side Boys, Bleed It Out by Linkin Park, or maybe some Nirvana or Soundgarden.

Okay, I dont know how to make a poll, but what song would you guys pick?

Agree with you. It depends on your skating & editing. If you're good at combining music and clips, almost every song can fit in.

Use what you like; it's not any special demands for skate vid's. unless you don't listen to trance or music like that. :p

I think it is more important to have a good camera and film from smart angles, than picking music. :)

EDIT: Btw, Night in white satin is a nice song! (By The moody blues)

I guess you're right. I know this really doesnt have anything to do with my topic, but I just landed my first kickflip!!!! :icon_pelv I feel like a real skater now lol!

I dont have any of those songs, and I got I-tunes, so I dont feel like buying a bunch of new songs... sorry. If you got some more "common" songs (like, on the radio alot on a top hits station) Not that I dont like those bands, I just dont got those songs...

Go Limewire!

Oh and there'll be no point putting all that heavy fast stuff in a video if it's just going to be flatground or something, make sure the song fits the style.

I'm Glad I Hitched my Applewagon to Your Star by The Boy Least Likely To

A good song to skate to is No Cars Go by The Arcade Fire. I know its in Mike Mo's part but it still a good skating song.

just a heads up
almost every kid thats new to skateboarding and makes a video uses a song by linkin park, system of a down, or some sort of metal thats been on mtv.
unless you skate fast and do big carcass toss ****
stay away from metal
you dont want to be doing flatground kickflips to the fastest death metal song ever.

another of the pool?
