This needs a thread.
This is how I’ve always looked at them and it’s not changed very much, it would be nice to see them take things to another level but that’s not always possible.
For what they had at their disposal I felt like they punched massively above their weight. Nothing wrong with a bit of constructive criticism though.
One of my favourites moves from the vid. Performed perfectly at a difficult spot to skate.
Maybe it’s because I’m old (it’s definitely because I’m old) but I see it from the exact opposite perspective. The Get Lesta stuff is cemented in British skate history as the pinnacle of post 2000 scene video creation and nothing since Cover Version, other than Atlantic Drift, has stuck in my memory.*
*No doubt, as soon as I press ‘Reply’ I’ll remember 15 amazing independent British projects.
Cover Version, Savoir Faire, Albion, Eleventh Hour there’s 4
All fucking amazing but they were all pre Cover Version (2019).
Edit: Savoir Faire was 2008, Albion and Eleventh Hour 2014.
Obviously Insta/the move away from physical copies is the driving force but Haven’s point was “the explosion of UK scene videos in the past couple of years will be remembered (more) fondly,” which I don’t subscribe to.
4 absolute BANGERS, too
Welcome 2: Hell
There’s been loads @jwdharris16 id throw your decimal video in there. Sean Lomex content, Whitlock, Cruickshanks videos in Sheffield, Etcetera

In progress.
I like Get Lesta videos just not the music
Awww thanks. Got a new Welcome clip going up next week I think. Nothing too crazy. Just a little Mallorca trip ![]()
That was amusing.
Poor old Alf spent a bit of time testing how hard floors can be though.
Yorkatron ripping on that ironing board, eh.
Yep! Nailed (almost) everything.
Aimu is just ridiculous. Shame it’s for that German biter clothing company not the OG Homeboy…
…that would be waaaay sicker.
