The Questionable Video by Plan B

The Questionable Video by Plan B

Plan B’s debut video and one of the most influential skateboarding films ever made. Assembled by Mike Ternasky after leaving H-Street, it featured a stacked team of all-time greats and raised the bar for technical street skating so dramatically it took years for anyone to catch up.

Company: Plan B Skateboards

Released: 1992

Era: The Technical Revolution / Early 90s

Featured Skaters: Danny Way, Colin McKay, Mike Carroll, Rick Howard, Rodney Mullen, Pat Duffy, Sean Sheffey, Sal Barbier, Matt Hensley, and Ryan Fabry.

After Hokus Pokus changed the game, Mike Ternasky wasn’t done. In 1991, he left H-Street and launched Plan B with a team so stacked it was immediately compared to an NBA dream team. In 1992, they dropped The Questionable Video — and it flattened the industry.

The video opens with a Pat Duffy section set to Primus that immediately establishes the tone: serious, heavy, and operating at a technical level that felt impossibly advanced for the time. Duffy’s double-kink grinds and raw power weren’t just impressive, they were a new category. Then there’s Rodney Mullen — already a legend for his freestyle career, now reimagined as a street skater under Ternasky’s guidance — skating to Louis Armstrong’s “What a Wonderful World,” his meticulously precise flatground wizardry set against music that made the whole thing feel like a meditation rather than a highlight reel.

Mike Carroll’s section, soundtracked by the Beastie Boys, was filmed heavily at the Embarcadero in San Francisco — a spot that was becoming the center of the street skating universe — and showed why he was considered among the most technically perfect skaters on earth. Rick Howard’s smooth, creative approach to street skating made every trick look effortless. Danny Way and Colin McKay brought the vert and hybrid elements, with Way in particular pushing into territory that nobody else was accessing.

Matt Hensley, filming one of his last major parts before moving on from professional skating, and Sean Sheffey’s explosive power rounded out a cast with absolutely no weak links.

Questionable is significant because it didn’t just showcase great skating — it defined what a great skate video could be. Ternasky treated the production, the soundtrack, and the team chemistry as seriously as the tricks themselves, and the result was a video that still holds up as a high-water mark for the format. If you want to understand where the modern pro video found its swagger, this is the origin.
