RED TELEPHONE PRESENTS - STUCK IN THE PAST 2000 / PART THREE / AJFor Part Three of Stuck In The Past 2000, I'm going back in time to (hopefully) do right by my old friend Arron Johnson, who joined me in falling victim to one of my biggest personal pet peeves when it comes to skate videos - the soundtrack ABD. When I collaborated with George Faulkner to produce my first full length video, "VIDEO" in 2001/2002, I had a great soul song picked out for AJ's footage, and it fit well once we laid it into the timeline.

I haven't found any evidence of the song I used for this new version of AJ's part being used in any previous edits, so lets all just sit back and enjoy some quintessential Arron Johnson on the come up footy, with an extr
