In no paticular order, a far from definitive list.
Dominik Kowalski
This video is simply titled with his name, but it should be called "skate all the things" or something similar. Dominik shreds it all, hills, cones, ramps. FREEride, not just soft wheel standup slides.

I'll do a load from youtube so I can link them properly.
CULT KOP
Anyone that knows me would be able to tell it wouldn't be long before this turned up. Cult fucking Kop. Mr Connolly and Mr River, at warp speed +1. It's not often you watch a video with people skateboarding about doubly as fast as you have ever been. I'd shit myself, cry AND fall off my skateboard at the first roller.
Faltown-No Contribution
I would say it's the music, but it's not just that. I would say it's the flip tricks by the sea, but it's not just that. I would say it's people killing it, everywhere, on everything but... oh it is that actually. Turn it up, and look out for the run at 3.13.
Gravity Skateboards - All Terrains, No Limits
More people skating "all the things". Theres a theme going here. Fantastic terrain, cool music, cool filming. Wish you were there?
Another from Gravity, this time one man. Sergio Yuppie. The energy and speed of his sliding is mind blowing. His rotations are snappy, his laybacks go on for ever. And through fire. Watch it and want to go and buy some hard wheels.
These dudes know how to slide. Speedy rotations, nosey stuff, laybacks and much more. Some of the U.K's best technical sliding is below, with two very different, equally sick styles. Music and editing puts it all together nicely, although it could have been filmed with a calculator and uploaded with a paperclip and it would still kick ass.
People going to a hill in England and having a laugh. The video captures it perfectly, a brand of stoke that is like no other. Yet again the music completes this video. Highlights include Gavgnars beastly run on the classics and Jamie's bosh, bosh BOSH style of hard wheel killing.
River going fast.
I wanted to get into skating hills from watching amongst others, this dude. My first speedboard was an old Spooky I bought from him on the now deceased Lush Forums. Here is The peyragudes run, with most excellent commentary and most excellent (and fast) skateboarding. You should have seen it by now, and if you havent, watch it.
John Cardiel
I'd vaguely heard of this person. And then one day, I stumbled upon this video. "Oh my", thought I, as I watched the dude FLY.
Broadway Bomb 2011 Tech Slide Jam
The bomb will "never be the same again". Apparently. Therefore, enjoy this celebration of going sideways on skateboards. Loads of people killing it, all in their own way.
SEBASTIAN HERTLER
This man came to Bopeep, and shredded it. Nobody does that. Lots of people can make it down, some can make it down fast, a few very fast. But nobody properly shreds it, apart from Seb Hertler. Watch as he effortlessly slices his way down a very long, very fast hill. He knows what he's doing, he saves pushing it to the max for a closed hill. But him "not pushing it too much" is most peoples idea of what they dream they could skate like.
Will Edgecombe-Scrumping
Killer music. Killer skating. Tech, hugeness, speed, style. This video came out, and everybody fell off their chairs.
So yeah, theres some of my favourites. Helps me not to implode whilst away from hills. Like I said, by NO MEANS a definitive list. Just some cool things to watch in the middle of the week.
Skate erryyfing.
Will
