In the beginning skate and snowboard videos were, for the most part, simple displays of talent. The Whiskey videos changed all that. No it wasn't because of flashy editing, top industry pros, or huge production budgets. These videos were made by a couple of third rate pros. All they had were a few shitty cameras and enough gas money to get to Whistler.

Los Angeles, 1949. Ruthless, Brooklyn-born mob king Mickey Cohen runs the show in this town, reaping the ill-gotten gains from the drugs, the guns, the prostitutes and — if he has his way — every wire bet placed west of Chicago. And he does it all with the protection of not only his own paid goons, but also the police and the politicians who are under his control. It’s enough to intimidate even the bravest, street-hardened cop… except, perhaps, for the small, secret crew of LAPD outsiders led by Sgt. John O’Mara and Jerry Wooters who come together to try to tear Cohen’s world apart.
