The footage looks gorgeous. It's sad that Sony lost the Betamax/VHS war considering their product was quite superior. I guess things evened out when the won the Blu-Ray / HD-DVD battle.

What's next for Palace? Hi-8? Would the gimmick be going too far if they just continued through every antiquated video format?

my dad thought betamax was going to be the next big thing, i remember the slightly smaller tapes but don't remember the quality difference haha. Something to do with the colors being more vibrant

I actually like Shawn Powers skating. Kinda skates like Gonz. But Lobster holocausts are unforgivable. Lobsters travel as families in the wild. Think about that Shawn.

SP's footage wouldn't even pass muster in a 1995 411 mid-market city Metrospective...

Ah shit, watched it through and the Arto clip slipped by me. Anyone got a time?

Zurg I love that later era Ferry. He hilariously becomes the cheesy lounge singer he always strived to be. Great adult contemporary dad jams.

they should stick with Betamax for a minute, i think the film look is "their" look by this point. Hi-8 would be a step back and it really does look like shit unless you make it B/W like Miner's early tapes...

Lucas is god. 
Chewy kills it. 
Danny came correct. 
Jamal is always a pleasure. 
Sean was not as bad as I thought he would be.

So good. I visited Oahu last winter and loved it, but it's not a skate destination at all. The fact that they squeezed out this much footage is impressive. Having Evan Mock as a tourguide definitely helps. I got a good laugh at Sean Powers skating the one spot in Hawaii that kinda resembles the bench spot he always films at in NY (around the 2:40 mark).

That betamax looks smooth as hell.

Hi-8 will look a lot different than I think a lot of you remember. You saw a lot of Hi-8 on VHS I'm guessing. Hi-8 raws look nice as hell too.
them cats are out getting mashed up to jungle, he's out mashing up jungle cats. it's just not gonna work.

They may be insanely popular with hypebeasts, but Palace is fucking kill it these days. This edit was amazing. Danny and Lucien killed it. I get a somewhat old school Chocolate vibe from them. Some technically amazing skaters (particularly Lucas and Brady) but filled out with an amazing style all around. Now, turn poptartpete pro and put Arto on.

Name one global company who does whatever the fuck they want, exactly the way they want to do it, with no bullshit marketing vaneer or phoney sales pitch voice and still shifts copious amounts of gear.

Palace is England's finest skateboarding hour so far by a mile!

Fraid so - the asthetic and 'voice' of the company was so overwhelmingly shit it got increasingly harder
to ignore. Also - what else was there to choose from in the UK at the time other than Blueprint?
Death? Heroin? Reaction??!!??!  :o

They had some great riders that helped shape the UK skate scene in late 90s/early 2k's - not disputing that.

Palace is definitely doing pretty well -- apparently company financials are a matter of public record in the UK(?) -- http://www.checkcompany.co.uk/companyreport.php?filed=2017-11-01&report=Prod223_1993_08253929_20170131.html

These numbers are from 2016 but they had the equivalent of 10 million in cash & equity and both owners got paid about half a million bucks that year.

Good - they deserve it! Wish I was 20 years younger so I could wear their tracksuits without looking like a crackhead
