A little history of the first video. I Filmed the video using a just purchased Panasonic Lumix TZ1. I was bicycling through Venice Beach California when I came upon the skateboarding dog. This was probably the only time I used the Lumix's wide screen movie mode.
I suspect one of the biggest reasons my video was selected, second only to the awesome Tillman, was not much user generated 16:9 content was available on youtube.(iphone is 16:9) Originally the first video had the soundtrack "Giving In" by linkin Park. Once the video appeared in iphone commercials I panicked and removed the video from youtube because of the attention and I had no rights to use the song. As time approached for Apple's release of the iphone with youtube, youtube contacted me and requested I reinstate the video without the soundtrack. Youtube wanted users to be able to view the skateboarding dog in the store after purchasing their iphone. Unfortunately youtube gave me only a few hours to re-edited video before the iphone release. The original background sound on most of the clips was ruined by hysterical laughter from a woman watching Tillman so I cut and pasted sound in from other parts of the video to cover the laughter. That's why some claim they hear the word eskimo over and over-lol. When the original video with the Linkin Park soundtrack was selected it had around 15,000 views.
The Song - The song does not have a name it was made with Sony Acid Music Studio.

the thing is he's genuinely skating, not doing it for tricks or nothing he just likes skating

The moment when you see that a dog is better at skateboarding than you

I feel so old lol. Its so surreal. I remember watching this as a teenager when youtube was in its infancy and ppl would upload random stuff like this. Who knew how big this site would get thanks to the pioneers of going viral like this dog? RIP little doogy.

The fact he holds the board when he’s hit the curb to bring it back out is adorable

We went to pet expo one year orange county California and there was this bull dog skateboarding all alone, I could not even identify his/her owner ....the dog was just loving it! Would not stop just kept skating back and forth through the crowd ...I think he knew everyone was watching and just ate it up! One of the coolest dogs I have ever seen!

This is a very cool dog. An amazing detail near the end of the video is that he barks at the slowing-down skateboard and it responds by gaining speed. Long live this dog!
