If Video Days was the artfully crafted short film, Trilogy was the double album — sprawling, chaotic, and overflowing with personality.

Released in 1996, Trilogy united the teams of World Industries, Blind, and 101 under one video, compiling footage across multiple years and rosters. This wasn’t a single director’s polished vision. It was a collection of individual voices from three distinct teams, and the result captures something that a more controlled project never could.

The highlights are the stuff of legend. Gino Iannucci’s section — opening with a now-iconic hardflip at Lockwood and moving through some of the most stylish street skating ever filmed — is pure magic. Kareem Campbell’s section, soundtracked by Nas’s “The World Is Yours,” showed a skater whose style and presence would influence a generation. Jason Dill brings a raw East Coast energy that contrasts perfectly with the West Coast polish elsewhere. And Daewon Song, still ascending, demonstrates the technical creativity that would make him one of the most admired street skaters of his generation.

Trilogy is significant because it captures a moment before skateboarding became fully systematized. Three companies, multiple eras of footage, and a cast of riders that collectively shaped what street skating looked like for the rest of the decade. It’s messy in the best possible way. Essential viewing.
