Scene videos are one of the most important parts of skateboarding in this country; they bring a scene together, produce laughs and good times, and expose fresh talent that might not be recognised otherwise. On the whole, scene videos are only produced in small runs and end up been circulated amongst a select number of people, meaning they end up going unseen by many. Through the years a handful of scene videos have managed to gain distribution, and as a result, reached a wider audience than your average friends based production. Videos such as "Grow Up" and "Ex Rental" from Ipswich in the mid 90s, "Leisure" from Manchester, and more recently "H'min Bam" from Scotland and the "Bristol in Bloom" series have brought a lot of lesser seen talent to the nations attention.
It's all too easy for scene and no budget videos to be overlooked in favour of the latest high budget release, so we feel it is only appropriate to start utilising Mpora as somewhere to archive these sorts of videos, hereby giving people access to forgotten works and productions that they may not have seen otherwise.
