I think it’s because the creatives making them actually did this stuff.

The UNKLE version isn’t a fan edit. It’s actually included in the “Final Flare” edition of “Fully Flared.”

Ty Evans and Spike Jonze have been doing this stuff for years for the Girl Skateboard Company (with Chocolate and Lakai). The way skate videos are edited these days was pretty much pioneered by Ty Evans. You should also look up the Girl Skateboard Company video “Yeah Right!” intro and invisible boards scene. The Keenan Milton skit in “Mouse”

[edit] I actually was invited to the premiere of this video at UCLA in 2007. All the who’s who of skateboarding was there. Every single person was shocked at this video. It was unlike anything ever seen before.

of course, i COULD be just misinformed and the UNKLE one is just a fan put his music to this clips, but still thought i’d share :D
