Can’t Fool the Youth FGFS Video Magazine

See larger here

I can say, without a doubt that I’ve seen every fixed freestyle DVD out there and every time, they just get better. When Zane from Chop Em Down Films first emailed me, expressing an interest to come to Texas with a handful of riders to film for a new video magazine, I was stoked! Over the past few months, I’ve been hearing about him traveling to film with other talent. From Tokyo, to SF, Phoenix, Temecula, Long Beach and Los Angeles, Zane has been there, catching clips for Can’t Fool the Youth Volume 01.

With the premieres still unfolding around the globe, I don’t want to give too much away but I will say this: Can’t Fool the Youth is the most comprehensive fixed freestyle project I’ve seen. It captures all of the talent and even brings some new faces some much-needed exposure. It captures the daily lives of riders and maintains that “feel good” vibe that I enjoy so much. What Zane has pulled together in the first volume only has me more stoked for the second and the third and…

Pick up a copy of Can’t Fool the Youth Volume 01 here at Chop Em Down Films for $25.

    wish he could ship to canada

    when will people start realizing any price over around $11 is far too much for a video

      Considering this is the first run and it’s all out of pocket for Zane, I think $25 is more than acceptable.

        If there was verification the riders are getting a majority cut, I’d feel a little more comfortable. But still, any current skate video usually runs around 8-12 bucks, and no offense, is usually produced/filmed/edited far superior to bmx or fixed videos.

        Maybe at the end of the day the fact ” ‘zine ” is in the title cheapens its value. Due to its classic definition being all about free.

        Still hope to check this out though. I have no actual gripe with anything but cost.

    $25 for 50 mins with 20 min bonus footage is a great deal. over 9 months to film and edit

    Zane worked hard to make something that is high quality which is what fgfs needs to be takin seriously. $25 is a small price to pay to help the scene grow.

    I’m in this movie, therefore, it should be worth 250.00 euro

    Legit video and riding. Well worth the $25 if you ask me.
