Video Review
Welcome to Hell
Toy Machine
VHS. 1997

All I can say is I am taking off my shirt putting on some long pants and I'm gonna skate as fast as I can and bust some fat ass shit.

Welcome To Hell is a superb video released by Toy Machine, it features some of the top professional skaters on the planet hangin' loose (raw style, in Tempelton's case) on some of the longest handrails this side of yer mom. Donny Barley is a prime example of some of the best talent in the industry today. Ellisa ups the ante with chicks into skating. J. Thomas is KING (of rails and/or cars) and Templeton is one cool ass queque.

Do you know what a "New York Thing" is? Well, for you subservant fruitbats who don't, it's a bent pole. On the left we see Donny is bustin out will full Philly style.

Robby can ollie over nine boards stacked high, but Mr. Thomas can ollie up, over, on, through and off just about any car and/or motorcycle. Now if that isn't a skill for street skating, Jaime also has another talent for punking-out on just about any handrail imaginable. He may look stupid in a sweat band, but the guy busts, and with a smooth consistent style, smoother than Fireman Masuda.

Ed Templeton is a homo, but compared to all the faggy music everyone played such as Van Halen and Danzig-Templeton's Sonic Youth was a refreshing (or typical) change. Ed skates fast and tweakes out his smith/feeble/reverse feeble/red-nut ballsack.

The slam section has some of the best (or worst) slams ever caught on video. They will straighten the hair on your unit or keep you off the handrails for a bit. Don't miss it.

So it looks like the trend from skating fucked up shit to going as fast as you can and busting the fattest tricks, so all you new schoollies out there, go to your favorite skateshop and buy 58mm or bigger wheels and bust the fast-fat crap.

rating 5/5

Five stars two shoes and a dozer. "The most Joyous Rock Movie-Musical since the Beatles scrambled through Help!"
