Skateboard media moves pretty fast these days, and I think it’s good to occasionally remind ourselves that just because something came out today or went viral on Facebook 4 minutes ago, doesn’t necessarily make it better or more valuable than skateboarding from months or years ago. It’s even easy to neglect the timeless and progressive skateboarding of our most beloved skaters, just because they aren’t in the daily content vortex. With that in mind, we had our friend Joey Sinko edit some of Arto Saari’s most memorable video moments so far and drench them in 90s and 00s nostalgia. If you ever wanted to remember why you love Arto or forgot he was a skater before his current photography shindig, check this one out.

It’s funny how even though you’ve seen the footage before and you know the dude’s a legend, when you see it all at once like that, it’s fucking mind boggling all the same. Great work gentlemen!
