How To Be Unpopular (2000-2001): Full Video
10 years ago there were some VHS tapes with ‘How To Be Unpopular’ scrawled on them sent out to people in Canada and the USA:
Awkwardness, forced cool, teenagers, bad boys, Mason and I jocking Jon Elliot, Brain Fear Gone influence, lacking identity, cheap imitations, insecurity, sliding things and jumping things, Dayna still being the best, Mason working really hard on his section, Todd jocking Josh Petty, weddings, parents still scratching their heads, pointless effects, ‘good skating’… etc.
This is ‘How To Be Unpopular’. The first in the trilogy of ‘Ok Buddy…’ and ‘Cirque Duh SOL EH?’.
Special thanks to StevieE. This video wouldn’t be what it was without him.
Running time with secret section: 44mins
To our parents… We’re sorry for the naughty bits. Boys will be boys?

Thanks for uploading that video for us. It reminds me of the times when I didn’t have my own identity. It showed me how much of a poser I was 10 years ago. I’m almost 30 and still rolling around not doing what the popular kids are doing. Thanks and keep it up, show the new generation that you don’t have to be a Super Popular to have fun.

That’s so true, if you want to be cool and more respected by a bunch of brain dead “gnarly” types then skateboarding is the way to go.
However if you want to participate in a sport that has been nothing but hated since it pretty much began and will always be considered gay by said brain dead “gnarly” types then rollerblading is for you!
Although it always makes me wonder how did a bunch of skinny pale kids who kick a bit of wood around become the authority on what is cool and what is gay? haha…
