i think i just lost interest in his skating because it's been overshadowed by clips of him piling out. we get it bruv you smoke and you drink
t funk on the other hand(same deal with too many partying clips), i wanna see a solid part from. i still go back to that frontside 360 wallride from flat clip on his ig from a few years back just to watch it every now and again haha
I wish Figgy stay out this video. Jacopo or Kader could be a good surprise.Jacopo would be dope but I know theyre saving that Kader part for a SOTY push later this year

you beat me to it. he had one of the best parts in baker 4 and that shit isn't even 2 years old yet. he's constantly skating on IG and in other random edits that pop up. assuming him and T-Funk both have 4-5ish minute parts that's a good amount of filming to handle in roughly 2 years.

Not to be pedantic, but Baker 4 will be 3 years old in November.
bummed he didn't jam onto the benchThat would have been way easier and shittier than what he actually did though. Which is borderline impossible.
Figgy back krook was fucked up. Honestly most of the tricks in this video are death defying. I was low-key expecting the surprise part to be Kader making a soty push but looks like he's not trying to participate in the soty theatrics this year.Same. But T Funk > Kader for SOTY so far. Not that close either.
God dam Jacopo is the man. T-Funk brought it. Fucking cannot watch Tyson anymore. I liked him in his Element days but it'x been downhill from there. Why isn't he on Deathwish?

That shit looks unnatural as fuck and was really distracting. It would be so much better if he mellowed it down. But thats just my opinion man, I’m sorry.
Tyson had one of the stand out parts in Baker 4, do you only follow Element skateboards?he also had a ton of footage in i want to say a Vans video(europe?) that had one of the cleanest backside flips i've ever seen and immediately made me understand why he's on baker(aside from the obvious)
High rewatchability for sure.the rail at the bottom of the bank is still there when he did the ollie.
China banks ollie is trick of the year so far, undoubtedly one of the top tricks of the decade. Just mindblowing. Like DaleSr said, I honestly thought Funk would've ollied or dropped into the big bank at the stairs to get the speed.
Editing-wise, I really admire how older, slower songs are used to such great effect in Baker vids. Conway Twitty song choice was sick.

I pray at the church of our lord and saviour Townes van Zandt, but this ain't it, chief. First couple of times was dope, but when everyone started hopping on that bandwagon no matter if the song/style matches the footage...ehhh.
Forgive me if it’s been said, but I wonder if using that shot of Zach Allen drinking beer and eating candy again was intentional or an oversight? Pretty sure that was in Zach’s last partprobably intentional. they did it a few times in the last baker video
T Funks tre flip down the triple set was beautiful
tyson's full cab @ 1:19 is a frankie decker abd
otherwise this shit went pretty hard, tfunk really went in for this one
gotta say tho, why in every skate video recently to i either hear a show me the body song or see a smtb tee/crewneck make an appearance on a skater. when did this band become every pro's favorite band?
Why are Bakers videos tryin to be Supreme vids?
I’ve always felt that these two looked like very annoying people and therefore hard to get excited about.
I mostly stand by that but this video it scorched earth. Exceeded all expectations. So re-watchable. Fucking amazing.
he did the nose manual at union square half a dozen times
i feel like this just set a new benchmark for street skating. fucking jaw dropping insane stuff.

Jesus Christ T-Funk killed it so hard. Dude looks like Janis Joplin and skates like a 1970s rockstar. So heavy - exactly what skating needs right now. That was fucking epic.

I didn't really fuck with either of these guys before this video, but holy shit I think I need to change my perspective on that. Like everyone else, T funk really blew me away. I don't know what I was expecting but it wasn't that. I also really appreciate how the majority of his part was filmed in SF, but he hit a lot of spots that not many other people have skated, or hit famous spots in a different way than everyone else is. The nose manny at Union Square is a great example of that.
Fuck I want a Baker board now.
I was fully expecting to not like it, bit of a (former) t-funk hater. The first clip in his part is sick, but he’s making this aggro face (understandably, but I’m being a hater and just thinking ‘oh fuck here we go…’) and then that drop down to nose manny and uh, yeah. Changed my whole mind.
Now I also want a baker board.
And he made all of the different shoes look rad too.
It also triples in cringe when the skater is mouthing off to someone who could probably just pass them like a rugby ball off the property.Expand Quotethat Tyson arco security guard clip was so cringe, not sure why they'd put that in the video does not come off as cool or badass just moronic[close]
this was my only gripe with the whole video. arguing/fighting with security is not cool after you turn 21 and realize niggas are just tryna earn a living. what was he expecting to happen when he went for that trick with the security guard standing on the stairs?
I don't care about Tyson's fits but he still seems like the WOAT to have on a session. Like, you're trying to concentrate on landing a trick and not fucking dying, and some asshole is just getting wasted and screaming/dancing shirtless the whole time?

Makes viewing a lot more fun and exciting compared to seeing every IG post from Thrasher, Freeskatemag, SkateJawn, Jenkem, etc promoting a new part with the second-to-last trick from the part or even the ender as the little teaser clip or photo beforehand. Fuck that hahaha.
It's still April so a bit early but damn, T-Funk might have SOTY in the bag after this one. I just can't see how anyone can top this.

I second this. Very biased cause I've been a fan since his first DC part, but this part blew all of his other great parts out of the water. The speed, his style, trick selection and the SF footy; I feel like he's unlocking his potential.
It would be so sick for him to be SOTY from this part alone, I find it much cooler when a SOTY wins from just one part, like with Tyshawn or AVE. It becomes much more of a gross jock-like marketing contest when skaters make a big push for it with several parts, like Suciu or Mason or Foy. They deserve it of course, but again, it's kinda gross.
Besides, T-Funk would really fit the bill for a 'classic' SOTY. Would be awesome for a guy to win with no shoe sponsor lol.
Expand QuoteCan't just let that go. Counterpoint: Making judgements about strangers personalities based on what other strangers posted is weak as fuck and only human nature for sad people. Judging their style in a part is one thing, saying "I heard he's a dick and that isn't cool" makes you the dick.Expand QuoteExpand QuoteCriticizing someone you have never met based on internet rumors from people you have never met is beyond pathetic.Expand QuoteExpand QuoteExpand Quotefunk skates like he just called his mom a bitch before leaving the house and knows hes about to be grounded for the rest of the semester[close]
I mean, anyone with that name, who looks like that, and who is that short is gonna have some angst and feel like they need to assert themselves for sure
LOL, so true. I've been a Tfunk fan since I first started watching his parts, and I remember being genuinely surprised when I went on slap and saw people absolutely shitting on his style. Idk I've just always liked watching people that seem like they're on the edge of control and are hanging on for dear life. Seeing him skate is just genuinely raw and exciting. I'm glad people seem to be coming around to him though.
I think I just need to read fewer threads on slap though... the constant petulant bitching and nit-picking of every little thing turns skating into something that isn't fun, and makes it some weird coolguy dick measuring contest of who can be the least impressed or who can find the most petty stuff to point out.[close]
I don't know. I don't have the feeling that slap is always nit-picking, only different opinions, my man. If you only want praise go read Instagram or youtube comments.
I am bored to death by all the dick riding I want some controversial opinions and criticism when appropriate.
The part was bonkers but according to stories tfunk is kinda full of himself and it is ok to criticize that.[close][close]
Thats Life. Hearing rumors and talking about them is as natural as it gets. The only new thing here is that it happens online.
Nevermind, part was great everyone agrees. Let's stop derailing the thread.[close][close]
Counterpoint - several instances (Elissa one of them) of mentioning his personality deficiencies in Thrasher articles. Track down the threads on here where it’s documented
I notice he's wearing Vans in this part, what happened to DC and is he fully on?

I don’t know that Mason or Foy (or even really Suciu) were pushing for it. Sometimes you’re just having that kind of year and you stay healthy and can get that amount of footage. None of them had filler tricks or parts. What were they supposed to do? Sit on the footage to not offend people’s sensibilities?
I personally dug it when Mason had a new part each month because he truly felt like the skater of the year because we were seeing what he was doing during that pandemic year and he was just on a fucking tear.

Judging by this thread it doesn't appear he's got a shoe sponsor at all.

Apparently he didn’t like his pro model and didn’t handle his disappointment with tact or aplomb

you love to see it
Very funny to imagine traveling back in time 5 years ago to show SLAP that in the future, T-Funk would end up being unironically compared to Cardiel on this site, and watching people's heads explode.
That said, loved every minute of that--the skating, the music. Surprised to see people hating on Figgy's clips, to me his section was one of the best parts of the vid and its insane to see him still skating at the same caliber of his SOTY run year.

That trick was some cardiel shit. Tfunk I’d never ever going to be like cards tho.
Cards is up there with gonz in real skateboarding.
Did anyone ever even film fs carve over the bench.
I need to rewatch and go frame by frame but it kind of looks like he started to ollie after he was already over the start of the benchI'm calling bullshit. Totally doesn't count. You're not being a nit-picker at all. Hold the magnifying glass closer to the screen next time his front foot might have come off for a split second
I need to rewatch and go frame by frame but it kind of looks like he started to ollie after he was already over the start of the benchSurely this is sarcasm
Also, I just want to point out that T-Funks ender will probably always be the craziest thing done in slip-ons.

Tfunk is on dc I think. He should use his power to make them rip off the chukka boot. Throw some tech in the mid sole.
Lakai should try beat DC by re releasing their version of the DC rick Howard shoe https://youtu.be/R0aeqUyoygEExpand QuoteTfunk is on dc I think. He should use his power to make them rip off the chukka boot. Throw some tech in the mid sole.[close]
All DC needs to be worrying about is re-releasing the first Rick Howard shoe

what possibly does your OCD have to do with him popping after starting to carve the bank??? also not sure you know what having an actual disorder like OCD means and entails.

refilming it without manchild would have been a good choice
I’m happy to see my initial impression of that dude being insufferable appears to be correct. First I ever saw of him was some video where he met Tony Hawk and he was losing his mind and being so annoying I thought he was a make-a-wish kid or something.Expand Quoterefilming it without manchild would have been a good choice[close]
Or just put “fuck u bitch” over his eyes like they do to Staba in Baker2G
