20 seconds in and the first clip is the cliche/iconic face zoom
Made me laugh out loud at work
I can't wait to watch the rest of this though!
-
Caleb Barnett skating to the Sicario soundtrack is genius, and whoever said Andrew Allen is *overrated is* not welcome in polite society.
-
how long andy allen been riding aces?
-
donny cut way too much off his dickies
-
Caleb rips. The BA comparisons were spot-on. I don't see why Benny Maglinao is so opposed to putting Donovon Piscopo footage to music. Andrew Allen's part seemed really short. Throwing all the tour footage in at the end was a nice touch.
-
Yeah i'd like to see a lot less of Donny in 2017, dude loves the mirror. Andrew Allen is a living legend and must be protected. Swan's stuff was the best he's ever put out, so smooth. Great video, great music.
-
Andrew Allen continues to make me question a lot of things about myself. Very nice.
-
so what kind of mustache is AA sportin' ?
edit: nvm i thought it was close to the michael jordan
-
Great to see these young men taking precautions when it comes to their pants. You know, with all the hurricanes lately.
-
andrew allen is talented, thoughtful, adorable, and has a nice butt.
-
Not sure why, since he never has a decent amount of footage, but I love big johns skating.
-
worms tv magazine section got me stoked
-
Andrew Allen the new Tim Capello.
-
made an account to say that caleb barnett is basically a less tech more BA tyshawn
-
Donny footage will always be on point, and that bowl session was wild.
-
The only thing that sullied this for me was the Sean Pablo footage. I don't get it...
Caleb Barnett is sick. I'm psyched to see more footage down the road. The impossible into the bank was very proper. Andrew Allen is a modern gentleman and I love seeing any footage of him. His slams are so unique too.
-
pause at 8:51 for a k rod sighting. lots of stuff filmed in cincy, aa kick flip into the bank and the bowl lines were so sick.
-
This was sick as expected. That Caleb dude is really good. AA is the best. His front 5050 backside flip out on that ledge was awesome. Ben’s roll in 5-0 was a highlight as well.
-
I generally really like Hockey edits but that was eh. First half was pretty hard to get through... do we really need to slow-mo people missing tricks?
I like John Fitzgerald footage... wish there was more of him/less of Piscopo.
Highlights were Big John's fs salad in the bowl (a stylish and difficult fucking trick) and I don't know, Ben Kadow's snot rocket?
Would've been a great 5 minute video.
-
I dont get Kadow hype.. dude is a normal skater with strange clothes...
-
Would've been a great 5 minute video.
so fucking long, and there's only like a minute of b roll. benny loves his slomo
i'm hype on caleb but it felt like no one else had footy besides donovan
-
Yeah Caleb Barnet is gnarly. Took me a second watch to realize he ducked under the caution tape after that kickflip front board
-
Wasn't that familiar with Caleb but his footage was excellent. Definitely a fan now
-
these guys are putting the art back in skartboarding.
-
Yeah Caleb Barnet is gnarly. Took me a second watch to realize he ducked under the caution tape after that kickflip front board
That clip. So sick! I wonder if that's what he was planning to do or if he would've taken it if he had ran into the tape and knocked over all the cones. Clip is raw with whatever outcome. That impossible over the rail into the skinny brick bank had me stoked also
-
yeah that felt off. didnt need the pablo footage. couldve used more spooky/angry music and fucked up stills/photos thrown. oh well. still very enjoyable and memorable. caleb's a great fit.
-
holy fuck finally. Lets see if it lived up to the rest of them
-

This was one of my favs,mostly because I had watched AA try this for a couple hours getting tossed a lot and coming close to a few a different day than this make.
-
Every time I see Ben Kadow all I can think is "Little Rascals". He already wears jeans with knee patches on them, he just needs one of those hats Reda always wore

-
AA fuckin rules.
I get the artistic direction, but I probably would have enjoyed the rest of it more if it was slimmed down and not so hyped up.
-
I like that Caleb guy, but don't really see the BA comparisons? Only thing that made me kinda think that, was the bigflip over the can, which was kinda reminiscent of a bigflip BA did at Third & Army (was in Yeah Right or the SOTY vid, and a Fourstar ad).
Yeah, obviously AA is great as always. Nothing much to add there.
Sean Pablo footage was admittedly better than I was expecting, but my expectations were low.
Good video, liked II better though, and some of the slo-mo replays were too much. Didn't need to see the shot of Pablo kf bs tailing a ledge, in Sid Vicious cosplay, slowed down.
-
AA loves them banks. Was wanting more Ben really, seeing how he just went pro
-
Whoa that Caleb guy was really good!
AA!!!!!!

You can see BA in that 5-0 on the really tall power box (or was it a manny?). Has that same dipped low approach with the arms crossed

Andrew Allen is on a fucking tear in this one, wow.
Some of that bank footage was ripe for disaster, damn. Pretty incredible part with a lot of work put into it.
Caleb was definitely great too and I'm eager to see more of what he puts out to the world. Very fast and powerful skating.
John Fitzgerald is always great and this didn't disappoint, I just wish there was more.
Donovan felt a little off to me--I like his previous footage a lot but something about this stuff felt a little too contrived. I really, really dislike that white handkerchief hanging out of his back pocket. I know that sounds petty as shit but it's a truly distracting and an awful look. As we all know, style is everything in skating and that thing is fucking lame, no bones about it. It looks like he's trying too hard to pick up where Dylan left off or something.
Wish there was more Ben K footage, especially since he just went pro. Hoping that he has been stacking clips for something else but I dunno, seems weird to not give your board sponsor footage for their new video? Has he been hurt? Cause if he hasn't been hurt and he's not holding on for something else, what the fuck is he doing?
Good video overall for sure. Gonna watch it a few times to let it digest. I really appreciate Benny's filming/editing. He's doing the brand justice, which is not easy work. He's great at capturing a vibe and hyper distilling it.

Considering that hockey II came out a year ago,they stacked a lot of footage for this outside of all the other shit they do. Strobeck is filming something new,I don't know if it's Supreme related or what,but guaranteed there will be more of everyone. To me this one was all about Caleb and Andrew,with the others as filler and whatnot. John is coming back from that knee injury pretty good so I'm sure we'll see more of him(soon hopefully). Donovan is getting some flair,must've been looking at photos from his Zero days.

Definitely agree that this was the Caleb and Andrew show, for sure.
I guess the question, Fitzgerald aside, is how did it end up that way?
Was that the original intent or is that just how it played out in editing because those two had the most footage?
-
Andrew Allen the new Tim Capello.
I don't know you but I love you

The pop shove it Caleb did over the hydrant was amazing

It really seems as the intent to make it about them,but probably footage quantity.Caleb is the new dude so it works as a welcome part just like AA in II. A full length would be great,but the wait for that would be crazy.
-
AA is the man.
-
Piscopo definitely jerks off facing a fucking mirror.
-
all mirror jerking aside his kickflip bonk grind on the can was excellent
-
Watching Andrew Allen fall makes everything alright. He seems like a cool guy.

There were some parts of this vid that made me legitimately think there is one consonant too many in the name of this company.
Hokey.
hok·ey
ˈhōkē/Submit
adjectiveNORTH AMERICANinformal
mawkishly sentimental.
"a good-hearted, slightly hokey song"
noticeably contrived.
"a hokey country-western accent"
The positives outweighed them this time, but the whole point of jacking off in the mirror is the shame that comes after climax when you can take a good hard look at yourself and your faults.
Otherwise, you could just jizz on the christmas wrapping before you wrap presents to give to the relatives you hate.
-
That sucked. First guy was sick. All those dudes look so god damn annoying and trendy especially kadow.
-
G O AA T
-
I don't get the need for the highwater pants, am i missing something?
-
Bummed there was all that slowmo bullshit and no AVE. I wish AA would switch up his trick selection a bit more.
-
I like that Caleb guy, but don't really see the BA comparisons?
Yeah I don't see any BA similarity either. I was thinking Terry Kennedy if he was good or fun to watch and not so fucking corny.
I don't see why Benny Maglinao is so opposed to putting Donovon Piscopo footage to music. Andrew Allen's part seemed really short.
More Donny re-edits for me!
Surprised no one has complained about the grade 9 film class "punk rock art film" at the beginning of the vid that I'm convinced Ben edited and submitted. It was fucking painfully lame.
-
AA is amazing. Caleb footage was good wish there was more, same with Fitzgerald. I can’t help focusing on Donovan’s pants, so distracting. For Ben’s first “pro” part, this was lacking, the only thing noteworthy was the roll in 5-0. Whole thing should have been 10 min shorter, the last 5 min were repeat tricks in slow motion.
-
Not my cup of tea. But watching AA slam was worth it. It‘s art.
-
Ben's face at the end was the exact same as mine when I saw him land that shit! I love the diversity in skating these days, from a team like Primitive to this.
Poetry in motion, Jazz in the streets
-
Sean Pablo footage was admittedly better than I was expecting, but my expectations were low.
Good video, liked II better though, and some of the slo-mo replays were too much. Didn't need to see the shot of Pablo kf bs tailing a ledge, in Sid Vicious cosplay, slowed down.
how? still havent seen that fool do a impressive trick. sid vicious cosplay lmaoo i hate looking at him
-
i havent watched it but im sure its a ok video
-
FA/Hockey edits are always on point, who's the dude who did the wallie sexchange in AA's part
-
i love AA, but yeah his trick selection is kinda meh at this point, especially the noseslide pop-over variations. blunt kf fakie on those la banks was really good. new guy killed it, otherwise a bit underwhelming compared to hockey 2.
-
lots of shit to hate on in here, one of those guys is 'pro' but you can't get his boards, so not pro because my local is under no new accounts
-

Excuse my ignorance and completely unrelated question, but who is that in your sig and what is it from? Gilbert?

Ah. Now I get it.
-
I totally understand the Pablo hate, he dresses like Sid Vicious and only does the same 5 tricks. they're good tricks but it's so predictable.
AA has been my favorite skater for 10 years now which sounds crazy, glad he's still putting out great footage.
Caleb was raw, Don and Jon are so gnarly, need more Ben.
As pretentious as it seems, I like how far from typical skate video formula these hockey vids are.

I'd be stoked to see Sean do a crook to fakie followed by a fakie heelflip,but that'll be day. Is he scared of progression? Or too comfotable? Josh Kasper syndrome.

Just putting it out there Sean Pablo has been better than Ben K for a good 12-18 months. Ben K went for that crazy gap to lip in Hockey 2, but other than that has been a real snorefest.
-
^^lol wut? ben k is totally unpredictable and raw. wish he had more stuff in this
-
Haven't got to the Sean Pab stuff but so far its boring dudes + Andrew "awsome" Allen
-
this was good but to long for the amount of skating in it. I liked Donovan and AA's parts the best. Caleb had some good tricks, not my favourite. Also ben k shouldn't be pro, he lacked so much footage in this and really the only tricks I remember from him in the past are the kinked boardslide and him hitting his face with his board, he's very forgettable
-
sid vicious never wore plaid pants once boring edit hockey sucks

Thats utterly ridiculous. I'd like to see Swan switch Smith a rail from flat, switch board slide double kinked rail, back 360 an alley, basically his whole Hockey II part is something that Sean will never bring the pipe down to (mami).
-
andrew allen could not look more pleasant on a skateboard
-
I don't think sean pablo has much in here but I like him usually. Andrew Allen should fire everyone off hockey including dill.
-
Why does every one of these promos have like 5 minutes of just Ben Kadow stalker-cam? He’s not that interesting.
-
He’s “whacky” though which probably gives Dill a mad boner

I don't really get it either. Sometimes he skates at an interesting angle and occasionally has an interesting trick selection, but usually it's pretty underwhelming shuv-its and boardslides.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy watching him skate, but the level of praise he gets on slap makes me feel like I'm missing something.

I feel the same. He's good, and I enjoy his footage thoroughly. However, it's almost like some slap heads are the cult following behind an decent film.
Caleb really grew into his skating. He used to skate with Dashawn Jordan here in AZ, so it's crazy to see where he ended up. That pop shuv was a thing of beauty and I liked how he hugged the curb afterwards.
Donovan is pretty forgettable at this point for me. Kickflip bonk was nice. Wish there was more John and Kadow footy. That's my favorite part bout hockey.
I wonder if they ever get distracted filming a trick because they are focusing on making a serious face rolling up to a trick (ben/swan)
-
Do you want me to explain why ice cream tastes good? If you don't like AA that's your problem to come to terms with, not mine to solve for you. Some of us are higher beings I guess.

I too have no idea what it is about that guy that Slap has a boner for. Maybe there's a lot of big bodied Pals looking for a hero?

I think if anyone has to explain something, it's the person criticizing AA.
-
I like that Ben K seems to wear jeans with reinforced knees like a 5 year old. No scuffs or scrapes for that guy!
I enjoyed the video, well, the parts with skateboarding at least.
P.S. AA is great and yes, Portly Pals need a hero too.

It also felt like he just kinda barely one upped himself in minor ways at that LA brick bank spot. Also caveman nosegrinds are dumb and doing it switch doesn't make it cooler.

He is a role model/positive body image advocate for all us curvy men out there!

AA has always been the best. That 411 part, the Prevent this tragedy stuff, everything. Liked the video a lot. Can't buy the boards though, simply because they hate the WKND guys (except Johan). I'll just keep buying WKND boards and liking the Hockey videos.

He charges spots, and somekind of a hipster Fred Gall. As far as tricks, these guys have a style guideline. It's a little low but it's definitely a good thing nowadays.
-
AA is a slow burn... you may not like his skating now... but when it finally clicks, stand back, you'll catch feelings you never knew you were capable of having.

Donovan>Ben K. I like Andrew and his skating a lot,as a stocky skater you gravitate towards others like you naturally. He does have his go to tricks though,but a lot of dudes do. I've been a fan since that 411 part and its just grown from there as time progressed on.
-
Andrew Allen is good cause 95% of skate clips are forgettable right now. He's standing waayy out thats a truth. Why is it good? You're forgetting that its subjective/not the xgames. Maybe he isn't good, I don't know but I 've truly been loving his footage, (didn't like him at the start of his career for a bit so there ya go)
-
Just rewatched this. I liked it a lot more the second time, including AA who was a clear standout. The sicario song and the punk song were great, it's just weird that so much of the second half doesn't have any music. It feels twice as long, and not in a good way.
Also, the attached image flashed on the screen at 8:51 right after a list of the team names. Reckon that's kevin rodriguez?
Right after that there's no music until the slow motion outro. Kind of seems like they made the first half and then the tour video, and then just put them together, no? Not saying that's a bad thing either, just that it appears that way.

Just rewatched this. I liked it a lot more the second time, including AA who was a clear standout. The sicario song and the punk song were great, it's just weird that so much of the second half doesn't have any music. It feels twice as long, and not in a good way.
Also, the attached image flashed on the screen at 8:51 right after a list of the team names. Reckon that's kevin rodriguez?
Right after that there's no music until the slow motion outro. Kind of seems like they made the first half and then the tour video, and then just put them together, no? Not saying that's a bad thing either, just that it appears that way.
Holy shit Sherlock! I never would have noticed that!
it won't let me post the screen shot off my phone but yeah that's him alright

I don't know, aside from him wearing Hockey clothes, and having his sponsor listed as Hockey, and now this brief appearance in a Hockey video, I'm still not totally convinced he's on Hockey.

I never understood the appeal for John, but his transition skating is growing on me. Bs grind revert and fs salad were top notch.

Please explain Andrew Allen's appeal. Thank you.
He is a role model/positive body image advocate for all us curvy men out there!
Exactly this

AA is at times doing very tech tricks, but when he does it's in a way, where I'm rooting for him to land it - not expecting it - it's a bit like Ellington, but AA doesn't really have that sketchy element to him that Ellington almost has perfectioned (for the record I really like Ellington!)

Someone explain to me the relationship/difference between FA and Hockey. I’m out the loop I don’t get it.

his raw clips from that were so good, that's what sealed it for me. AA has shown he has a nice kickflip and will take it to some very interesting places

Here it is, this is why we like AA, everyone.

Would've been a great 5 minute video.
so fucking long, and there's only like a minute of b roll. benny loves his slomo
i'm hype on caleb but it felt like no one else had footy besides donovan
ummmm Andrew Allen at LA High is worth sitting through b roll and horrible fits any day.

does that make AVE Vivienne Westwood?

Ben's face at the end was the exact same as mine when I saw him land that shit! I love the diversity in skating these days, from a team like Primitive to this.
Same!
I personally enjoyed the long form, over the top editing. With attention spans getting worse by the minute, it's almost like they dare you to stay and reward you with Ben's two face melter clips! He's very much the less is more type and I'm down with it.

Dunno what to tell ya buddy. You asked why people like him. He goes fast, rides switch a lot, picks good tricks, and does them with a unique, instantly recognizable style that lots of us enjoy.

Bro come on. Face melters? Let's not get carried away here. All I can remember is a tail drop 5-0 and a scrapy kickflip manual.

I love the video they did for the title song from "Nightmare on Elm Street 3", where Freddie Krueger is haunted in his sleep by Dokken playing, and wakes up in a fright.

Piscopo definitely jerks off facing a fucking mirror.

I watched this last night and liked it. The one trick that sticks out for me is when the dude blunt slid that guard-rail. I was positive those didn't slide let alone blunt slide. Never seen that before.

I know that I jerk off to a life-sized cutout of Piscopo, so this makes sense.
