Standard: Style Cats

40 minutes
This video is kind of old, but it still holds up as one of my favorite videos. Style Cats is a Chris Rye production, so you know that the high quality of filming and editing is there. And with the "stars" of the video being the Standard team, the riding is right on par as well. There's everything in this video — mainly mini and street — and plenty of stuff that'll make you sick. I wished there was more flatland in it (as usual), but the stuff from Kerry Gatt, Chad DeGroot, Bobby Fisher and Paul Osicka is incredible (Bobby and Chad to their share of street and mini, too). Overall the music's good, too (face to face, Muffs, Bad Religion), but what's with putting "weird" music (Jackson 5, Grease, Fleetwood Mac) for practically all the flatland sections? (Okay, I can understand "Go Your Own Way" for Chad.) Hey, it's still better than Veruca Salt.
