"For those of you who have never seen them here are some clips from "Fantasea" and "State of S". They are both terrific movies and if you like the clips I would recommend buying the movies. These clips are for information purposes only so people can see what experienced mat surfing looks like. The clips are low res."

Good (not great) footage: the mat surfing segments in "Fantasea" were filmed in the late 1970s, on stock rubber and canvas mats. "State of S - Full Circle" mat surfing segments filmed in the late 1990's, on a
4th Gear Flyer, nylon and polyurethane mat (1983-85). Note that some of George Greneough's statements about rubber and canvas mat riding (pre-1983) do not apply to modern nylon and polyurethane mats.
Hope you enjoy...
