all that bullshit for one trick! i like greco's skating and all, but some melodramatics about a filmer not wanting to send a clip?
-
dang that's a crazy fakie heel. filmer kid holding the footy hostage is stupid.
also not to sound like that guy why didn't they bring that red table to any parking lot or just outside anywhere?
-
I haven't watched this yet but is this a 7 minute video for a single trick? this better be good.
edit: I don't care about the drama but the trick was fucking insane.
-
The drama was kinda weird but the trick was utterly insane. That's probably the last trick I'd ever want to try over a picnic bench.
-
Check out the the new cool guy Berra. Everything from calling out that filmer dude, trying to prove the "message boards" wrong, and a 7 minute video for a clip inside of a skatepark. Also he brought something from a toolbox to a shoolyard..... Fucking lame.
-
never heard of this dude before , copenhagen dude ?
-
Greco is slowly turning into berra :/
-
Is anyone else having trouble going on the Thrasher site? It just keeps saying Default Parallels Plesk Panel for me when I try to go to the site.
-
great storyline. i enjoyed that.
again, why is greco trying to sound like vincent gallo from buffalo 66? verbal fake styles.
-
Greco is slowly turning into berra :/
No. Jim releases / can get footage.
-
so who's streetfilmer87?
-
Pretty sure Greco has always been like that. That fakie heelflip was bonkers.

why wouldn't a filmer want their work spotlighted to an enormous audience through one of the biggest skate mags around?

Yeah that made no sense. Acting like he has a personal vendetta against thrasher or some shit. I wonder if he would have been down if TSM or transworld were trying to put it out.

as a fellow Connecticut born person I totally lost my shit when Greco broke out the measuring tape

thats pretty damn insulting. and not true, at all.

If I were picking my kids up from school and saw Vincent Gallo wondering through the play ground measuring picnic tables I'd probably call the cops

random greco story:
my girl and i were driving north on the 101 a few years back and i spot a nice looking cadillac with some really nice rims in the rear view mirror. very retro. the traffic in l.a. gets pretty horrific so most of the drive was slow as hell. as the car eventually pulls up on the right i recognize it is greco. he's driving alone with wild hair and without a shirt on a hot day. homeboy's blasting music and totally flipping out on the l.a. traffic. he passes me up and cuts me off as he moves into the far left lane (now to the left of me). i casually mention to my girl that it's a professional skateboarder whom i used to compete with in amateur contest. i let her know that he is more about antics and drama instead of cutting edge skateboarding (i say this to impress her, but she doesn't seem impressed). then, right there, after i mention this, and literally a few feet away from the 101 merging lane where the michael douglas character ditches the car and goes on a firing frenzy in the movie "falling down," it happens. jim starts flipping out yelling at the traffic and in between his lane and my lane a bike comes zooming by. at the same time, jim cuts right to get out of his lane and the bike t-bones into his car. this happens right to the left of me in very slow traffic. the bike rolls to the right and the bike dude's foot gets stuck on the peddle and the back wheel to the bike starts burning rubber under the dude's leg. jim then jumps out of his car in full panic. people get out to help the bike dude and jim begins to help. traffic lets up a little and my girl and i drive off.
therefore, although i hated on jim, i felt bad for him and i sincerely think he is a very emotional dude who does exactly what he feels is right. in this clip i don't see him any different. i think it's rad that house of hammers shows all the madness that goes into a trick. shit is hard to watch sometimes but it represents how difficult and dramatic i think skateboarding really is. i also have to give him props for delivering a video part for the deathwish video. anyhow, in j strickland's interview he gives props to jim's creativity and signals him out as the force behind deathwish. i think deathwish is a pretty kool and legit company (sure it has antics), but it has a lot of the lure and legendary skateboarding that baker once had. in fact, if strickland is correct, baker truly began loosing steam after "baker has a deathwish" (an epic classic) and jim and eric left the brand. maybe a coincidence, maybe not.

that was insane. good on the kid for not giving up his footage for a shitty greco/thrasher vid it's understandable.
-
Also he brought something from a toolbox to a shoolyard..... Fucking lame.
what a weird thing to get bothered by.

Filmed kid is regular. Where is the neck tattoo?

The only things I can figure are:
That wasn't the real Jim Greco or THIS isn't the real Jim Greco
It wasn't real? This is the least likely scenario
The whole thing was mass hysteria and it never existed to begin with
He had it removed due to what can only be described as instant regret
-
good job filmer kid- way to get blacklisted right out of the gate
-
Maybe the trick was a banger in a video hes making and didn't want it to be easily forgotten on a web clip. Ah what am I saying that kid could've went about it a better way
-
Yeah. Just imagine your own local filmer getting a clip of some insane trick. If Jim Greco or any pro skater contacted you personally? Don't be a dick broooo. haha.

Good on him? What kind of dickhead films a trick, and then when asked to put it in THRASHER, says no? Like someone else said, good way to fuck up your "filming" carreer before it gets started.
-
Taking that van to go to a school isn't the best idea.
-
This video makes me feel weird.
Why not wait till the weekend?
Why film this so obviously scripted scene?
I got uncomfortable and had to cover my face while listening to Greco talk.

Maybe a dickhead who wants to save the clip for his own full length? Could be a possibility.

I want an explanation from this filmed guy.
why on earth would you withhold footage for no good reason. there has to be more to this.

I litteraly laughed out loud in the middle of the office. Then tried to explain it but it's not that easy.
Greatest thing I've read in a while, BRAVO!
;D

If you watched the shit he said it was a monday and the dude was going back to Denmark on Wednesday.
-
Insane trick, I didn't mind watching to 80 attempts either, the wacky scripted intro was awkward though.
He really didn't look that close to making it until the one he landed either
-
So does a filmed always own the footage? The guy who films it or the skater who does the trick, I'd assume the filmed but does the skater get no say at all in terms of how it gets used and where it ends up?

Something from Grecos insta said that kid was trying to get a job at TWS.

Remember that footage of Greco beating up Furby's filmer at that skateshop? Boy was that awkward. Greco is pretty funny. Just not intentionally.

As a general rule, it's my understanding that when you enter into an agreement where you are hired to be the agent of a principal for a specific purpose you can't usurp the principals opportunity to obtain the goal of the agreement. But if you do that shit on your own dime, your own time and have no relationship with that person than that's yours (and the skaters to the extent of making money off of it). There is a ton of nuances but it's mostly common sense.
-
yall are fuckwitts. If the kid is filming a full length vid, and has got on of the best tricks he's ever filmed, you aint gonna want to give it up for a fucking single clip thrasher webclip.
Greco "we gotta get this before this kid puts ii up on youtube" - instantly puts it up on youtube with 3 mins of talking and hyping up the footage "dramas", all the attempts and filmed in a skatepark. That's gay as shit and these hammer reports are awkward.
-
... We gotta film it again at the hammer house.
-
really awesome trick
but 7 minutes of bullshit def took away from it, that and being filmed in a skatepark I bet the schoolyard footage looks 100% better, even the lighting in that warehouse is terrible
this did remind me of berra, greco get a grip dude

If the filmer isn't getting paid by a company he owns the rights to the clip, if he is on staff at Deathwish, baker boys whoever and gets a salary the company technically owns the clip, the skateboarder generally has no rights to the stuff. So yeah this kid owns the clip, prolly wants it for some video they are working on, or it may come down to since this is a Thrasher web drop type deal they may not want to pay going rate for the clip. Going rate for a clip is between $30 and $60 which really doesnt add up to much unless you have a bunch of clips to sell.
-
I highly doubt the filmer was making a full length. some SoCal kid filmer with a Danish guy skating, they probably didn't even know each other. the explanation for filming it in the skatepark was hilarious and ridiculous, just drag the damn thing outside
-
That was hilarious.
I like how Greco basically forced this Rambo guy to try it on the spot
"You gotta fakie heel flip it in here"
"Today...?"
"Yes. Today. Schools are, in session."
-
Filmer kid was smoking sherm.
The way Greco said "That son of a bitch ain't gonna give the footage" was beautiful, he should do some acting. Some East Bound and Down type stuff. Retired thief that comes out of retirement and has some deranged crack smoking partners.
-
Yeah. Just imagine your own local filmer getting a clip of some insane trick. If Jim Greco or any pro skater contacted you personally? Don't be a dick broooo. haha.
Not to mention in his email Jim offered to pay for the clip. Bad move on the filmer's part, this probably could have helped him get a foot in the door. This also reinforces that having some nickname is a prerequisite for getting hooked up by Baker/Deathwish.
-
"Ok Jimmy, now let's film it like I've been waiting here and you just pulled up in the van."
Also,
again, why is greco trying to sound like vincent gallo from buffalo 66? verbal fake styles.
He IS an Italian from Connecticut.
-
he hit his tail doesnt count
-
First of all that was insane!! On another note - I have never heard Oscar be called Rambo before - His name is Oscar Gr?nb?k, which is why he had some clips through that Skate Sauce dude - but this was under the moniker Oscar the G... And i think he is from copenhagen, but I'm not that local in the scene, so I don't know if he's from copenhagen or just often around.
-

you should go and show him how it's done.
-
does anyone here know or at least follow the filmer guy? there has to be more to the story. no one would be that stupid....i hope.
-
just drag that table outside the fuck greco
-
Oscar had a part in my friends homie video 'Spare Change'. Old stuff, but you can see his pop has always been crazy.
Part starts at 16:50 SPARE CHANGE on Vimeo (http://vimeo.com/12456174)
-
Amazing considering the ground was just as rough as a schoolyard...
-

Yeah that got me too. The ground looked polished as shit
-
So filmer dude didn't give the clip to thrasher. Still got credit and mentioned in the video. Made Jim look stupid and made the kid do it again? Filmer dude rules!
I like how Jim wrote him "good luck getting a job in skating" hahaha. What do they pay someone for a clip? Surely the laugh this video provided is worth more.
-
Not too mention filmer kid still has the only footage of it that is worth anything. I'd like to know if he slaps his nose on the schoolyard one. If he clears it it'll pretty much be the greatest picky trick ever done.
