Spike Jonze's 9 Most Memorable Moments While Filming Video Days

Below are Spike Jonze's nine most memorable moments while filming for Video Days, as told to Aaron Meza. This was published in the January 2003 issue of Skateboarder. 


For anybody keeping count, this is my 600th post on this blog. Never thought I'd get this far, and no plans of stopping anytime soon - there's still a lot more I want to scan and post. I appreciate all of the feedback and encouragement I have received from all of you - this has been a nice opportunity for me to feel like I am contributing to skateboarding culture in a small way. Thank you! -SMN

The Photography of Spike Jonze

This portfolio article of Spike's photography appears in the July/August 2000 issue of Skateboarder, which is also the only issue of the magazine that he got a photo on the cover of. The article includes early photos of Gonz, Natas, Hosoi, Guy, Jason Lee, and more. The intro to it was written by Kevin Wilkins.







Video Days: 20th Anniversary Reunion

Below is the article Jaime Owens put together to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Video Days. It appeared in the February/March 2011 issue of Skateboarder, which was the first issue of the mag when it was reformatted to be bigger and to come out every other month rather than monthly. I remember being incredibly stoked on this article when I first read it. Hearing Jaime talk about the making of it on his Nine Club interview made me want to scan it in so that anyone who hadn't read it but had heard about it on the podcast could take a look at it. 

It's very late and I need to get to sleep, so I haven't labelled any of the photographer credits yet. I just wanted to get the scans up as soon as possible.

Also, the archival ads posted throughout this article were provided by chromeballincident - I am fully appreciating the irony of scanning a magazine article that has scans of older magazine ads and articles in it.

Okay, here's the damn feature. Enjoy!
