(idm) spike jonze and _real_ skating

spike jonze is responsible for a great many music videos, some of them fall
near the idm boundary.  figure skating and gymnastics occasionally use music
that falls near the idm boundary. (yeh, i remember local big butt hero tonya
harding using "blue monday"...)

however, spike should earn his biggest props for using skate_boarding_
legend mark gonzales in his nissan ad (where gonz, sleeping in his la-z-boy,
is pushed to the nissan dealership through the traffic of san fran by his
trusty dog).  other skate/spike collaborations include the epic "mouse"
video featuring the girl/chocolate team.

as an avid stuntwood pilot, i gotta ask, why does skateboarding seem to only
use hip hop and watered down "punk" music in it's video soundtracks?  i love
the beats, but the endless pennywise/nofx stuff grates on my nerves.
where's the slickass technoskaters?

sorry, no v/vm or skam references...

on now: primal scream "come together" (hypnotonebrainmachine remix) (creation)
