soem really good tricks, but the filming was wacky, there was parts where it could have been filmed closer, been filmed further, and i also feel like they could have gotten his whole body in the frame more instead of chopping off the top and just having a pair of shoes kalis pants and a board doing tricks. i'd rate it a 5.5/10

This definitely looks like what would have been his Lakai part.
I really hope it isn't filmed/edited like this. Also, Daniel is the most unproductive pro next to Castillo.

he chose to leave lakai...? for fp insoles... shoes?

suciu grind was the only real standout trick, rest looks like throwaway

Oh yeah fuck that, thats like people who make Instagram accounts for their pets. Most of those cases though i rather just follow their pet and just pretend its really the pet uploading the photos. At least they have some sort of fingers, cars have none

You have dudes like this who have been pro forever yet someone like Jonathan Pierce (as an example) can't land a pro spot with countless parts under his belt.

I'm with you, he is a very good skater with decent style. Don't know about personal cookeries. But I can see how people think he's boring, he's like a less talented Sean Malto.
Title: Re: Daniel Espinoza Spinach Is Royalty
Post by: ice nine on February 07, 2017, 10:45:41 PM
did something happen to him physically? his style was better, he skated faster and did harder tricks when he first came into the scene... doesn't make sense.

Woah there, comparing Lucas Puig, JB Gillet, Max Geronzi, Flo Mirtain, Sammy Winter and Javier Mendizibal to Daniel Espinoza is just downright silly.

I agree. Steady cam is cool and all but not for filming skateboarding tricks. I'm down for it for lifestyle shots but when you're filming a line it just doesn't look good. You want a steady hand during line filming? Hire Jason Hernandez.

Post by: Still Tippin on February 08, 2017, 11:26:32 AM
still don't really get the hate on this dude. whatever, being into cars as much as he is is wack, sure. least productive pro though? i'm sure anyone can name 3 pros who have gone longer without putting anything out. 

leaving what seems to be a sinking ship for a new venture seems like a reasonable move. or maybe he got kicked off, who knows?

i mean, i don't love or follow the guy, but that bigger flip and nollie back smith were pretty impressive. can someone explain what i'm missing here?

Post by: Hevonen on February 08, 2017, 11:32:25 AM
Wanted to like this, always been a fan of his style, but holy shit that was pretty weak. Like as a pro how do you even have the nerve to put out a 1:40min long thrasher part with half the tricks basically local shop flow level shit. There was a sw360 down a 5 stair as a single clip... Not a single line either. Dude hasn't put out footage since forever so no excuses. Edit is garbage too and that steadycam filming is unacceptable can't believe they are still going with it

With the exception of Lucas, Geronzi, Lem Villemin and Pete Eldridge, I can't name one thing that the rest of the team has done at all.  Brophy tre flipped over a table years ago, but other than that... and even then I'm only inlcuding Pete Eldridge based on the fact that I like him because he doesn't seem very relevant either. Paul Hart is basically the most active person on the team but do people like him? I mean he does have "Faith?Hope?Love" in his instagram bio, that's marketable right? Maybe most of the team is just cursed with being non American skateboarders.

Skating was ok, nothing outstanding.  However the song and editing combo was awful. Straight up embarrassing.
