Besides "the silas trick", theres lots of little innovative things in the video. On the other hand theres a solid ammount of filler. You could easily cut 10 minutes out and it wouldve made this a really good transworld video.
i wish transworld could aspire to pick songs that were actually good and not just songs that "werent horrible". Dont these guys listen to music or watch good video parts? They must know how this comes off. Kids are impressionable idiots, but have some class. i dunno, i just get the vibe that transworld doesnt care because they know they dont have to work hard to sell the video or to promote their mag.
At first i thought the part order was dumb but then it makes sense because they want to promote julian davidson and walker ryan as the new guys who are going to be valuable to the mag in the next few years. Neither of them deserved it but it makes sense if you think about the moneymen involved. It is transworld.
Josh matthews and silas are getting repeat viewings.
Like everybody said, Silas' ender was super gnarly.Definitely some of the most innovative shit to go down ever. his whole part is filled with awesome little things and lines though. The whole thing deserves rewatches.
Josh matthews was the unexpected surprise, why is no one talking about his 3rd & army lines? Those were easily some of the most creative lines to go down there. That rail transfer line is probably the first time i ever saw anybody use that trick like that. But that song made me think of being in a grocery store. im really not sure what they were going for with that song.
Walker ryan is the definition of an average pro. i feel like you can always use this guys skating as s proxy for what the average pro is thinking. Nothing innovative, some marginally wacky spots get 5050ed or lipslid, wallies, token firehydrant trick in da city, normal manual combos, lots of played out spots, lots of played out new york spots; the whole part felt like it was a job he had to fulfill than something he put any thought into it. Im sure hes "grateful for the opportunity" or whatever but it felt a tad lifeless. I want to say that song sucks but honestly it fits his skating and the direction transworlds been heading in for the last few years.
Also, Julian davidson ollies a smoke stack and nosemanuals down a roof. If you guys thought that sucked youre probably stupid. The 5-0 down that huge white hubba was amazing. I wish his part had more of that stuff.
