Best recent skateboarding video?

I stopped following skating around the time Big Brother magazine came out. I'm just wondering what the best representation of the current scene would be. I don't need Jackass antics a la the Whiskey videos, just crazy skating that would blow my mind. I've seen a few clips like danny way's record jump and mullen's street skating and it's really motivated me to sit down and watch a couple full-length vids.

Have you seen the FPP from this morning? Not necessarily the coolest tricks out there, but pretty funky.

I think that's the same dog from an old Powell video (something Domain?) where the dog steals Lance's board and skates away.. unless there's more than one skateboarding bulldog out there, although that would make Tyson pretty old...
I'll look for 'bag of suck', I didn't think they'd have videos of the year, that would've been a good place to start. thanx.

Public Domain, re-occuring refrain

"Yeah right" is the nearest I have managed to get to a modern skate video. "Pubic Domain" and "Ban This" are seared into my memory by repeated watching when I was a yoof.
