Terry Kennedy picks his 3 favorite skate video parts of all time

In skateboarding, the video part still reigns supreme. It remains the primary basis for judging skate talent. Sure, Nyjah Huston wins a lot of Street League events, but those cannot top the incredible skating in his recent [Fade To Black part]1.

So when a top pro skater like Terry Kennedy selects his 3 favorite video parts of all time, it's worth taking notes. We asked the "Skate And The City" host to do just that, and as a bonus, we added one of our favorite video parts of Terry, from the "Baker 3" video.

Network A
Skate And The City

Skate legend and host Terry Kennedy shows how skateboarding is uniquely connected with the cities where it takes place.

Skateboarders look at the cities they skate differently than most pedestrians. To the average observer a handrail next to a set of stairs is nothing special, but to a skater it has enormous potential. Skate And The City host Terry Kennedy understands this better than most. The skate legend from Long Beach, CA will take you on a tour through urban environments and show you not just the skate spots, but also the cultural landmarks, from streetwear boutiques to musical venues.
