Accidental Machines: Intro & Ben Schwab profile
Accidental Machines was Mindgame’s farewell gift to the rollerblading industry.
The 56 min. video dealt with themes ranging from the state of the industry, to the dual lives of pro-skaters, to the absurdity of popular trends.
Herein lies the video’s intro, featuring the skating talents of Dustin Latimer, Aaron Feinberg, Chris Farmer, Brian Aragon, Billy O’Neill, Don Bambrick, and Ben Schwab, the motion graphic expertise of Matt Andrews, and the song “The Spell” by The Black Heart Procession, courtesy of Touch and Go Records. Written and Directed by Shane Coburn. Produced by Trendkiller, Inc. (R.I.P.)

A nice reminder that Mindgame was the best and always will be.

Mindgame/Shane Coburn needs to re-release all the videos. Package it up and release a boxset. Mindgame Boxset.

Brain Fear Gone, Words, What do you Believe In, Bang, Accidental Machines, the whole Trendkiller/Mindgame catalogue. Who knows how DL would feel about it, but maybe he could get a nice cut as well. People need to witness these videos again. I wouldn’t mind getting rid of some video tapes also. :)

Mindgame always made their team do the lamest things…
Billy with the sign
Aragon with the strings
Chris with the clothes
Don with the hypnosis
Just bad ideas, ugly imagery. You’d think one of them would say, “look Shane I’m an adult, and I’m not doing this.” Guess not.

March 16th, 2009 at 1:19 am

I loved this company and always will. I wish they were still around they had some of the best quality wheels you could find. They also always had a sick ass team that skated for them. I just wish that this final video had a complete section of Feinberg and a better section on Latimer. The video just like all of their videos is sick. R.I.P. Mindgame. And hopefully you can make a return to the game possibly some day. Here’s hoping and wishing. :)
