If one film should claim the title of "video of the year 2005", Killer Boots is a good contender. It has been a while since I've seen this good of a film.

The film is set in a horror-setting. The theme is a mitch of the Blair-witch project and the movie Seven. Blod-tracks on walls, wet floors, etc. are filmed to add a nasty feel. Once the intro is over, there is nothing left to scary you except from the skating. The music is not scary at all – but more of a go-happy rock in the usual Carl Sturgess way. The video stars Chris Haffey, Jeff Stockwell, Brandon Campbell, JC Rowe, and Brian Shima.

The ultimate highlight of this video is Brian Shima. Shima is not dead at all – he will amaze you even more than he has done before. He mostly skate in long speed-freak lines that will leave you dreweling for hours.

Another highlight is in the intro where Brandon Campbell does that big blind gap (wasn't it Jon Elliot in BFG?) in 360. Damn!

The Chris Haffey and Jef Stockwell profiles are really high class – even more than their usual profiles. But them alone shouldn't be the reason for buying the video. JC Rowe will amaze you even more. His style is so fluent and perfected to the smallest detail. Besiedes that he lands tricks with full speed, and before traveling even 1 foot on the ground, he jumps to spin into another trick. If you haven't had your eye on JC Rowe, now is the time.

The video is just amazing – an instant classic, if such thing exist. The only thing that misses is the completion of the horror theme – but then if I think more about it, I think it would have destroyed the sick skating that is a breath-taking enough in its own.
