They forgot to hype it for nine years
-
I wish they would have recorded everyone's reactions when he let Andy take the pistol.
-
VOTY!
-
Made my entire fucking day for sure...
-
That was rad.
Raney kills.
-
New favorite skate video and I dont even skate transition
Immature, crude, without thought, in the best possible way.
One of the better ethos in skateboarding.
-
no peabody clips :( but still so fucking good. austin kanfoushs nollie holy shit
-
Really want one of those Australian cattle dogs.
-
Can't even describe how much I enjoyed that
-
I love you, Frank.
-
Fuck.....that was great. Was this even advertised? This was a nice surprise. Funny how Grant copped a tit by accident.
-
Frank's reaction after that massive hill bomb was priceless. the whole team is still killing shit
-
My favorite kinds of asshole. thanks you AH
-
well that was fucking great
-
Tunes were pretty good on this. Cloud Song!!!!
-
Video of the year for sure.
FRANKS HILL BOMB
-
Where is the hype? Where are the trailers? Where are the teasers?
This is not a proper skateboard film
-
Can't even describe how much I enjoyed that
-
So sick..
They were dancing at the creek in Denver with this girl I went to high school with..RANDOM
-
I love you, Frank.
-
Fuck.....that was great. Was this even advertised? This was a nice surprise. Funny how Grant copped a tit by accident.
priceless old lady's reaction
-
my homie lives by that hill Frank bombed
so sick. Frank goes so hard still
-
Best skate video in years.
This had everything an Anti Hero video is supposed to have.
-
perfect.
-
I'm jealous of these guys. They are truly living life. Thats sick that cardiel is still on the trips
-
That was so fucking amazing! I did not think we would see so much skating from Gerwer again - and everyone fucking slaughtered!!
...anti hero just pulled a Beyonc
-
it was far beyond good
-
Need hard copy so I can watch once a week for next ten years!
-
frickn perfect, so dope. 10/10. grossos 50-50 to fakie around 2 corners.... had to watch that a few times... boy did that look fun.
-
I'm thankful for the Eagle. That was some heavy rippage.
-
-
Seriously the best skate video I've seen in a long time
-
Please tell me there will be a physical copy made available.
-
-
damn that was so awesome, the lack of hype was was so hype
-
No julien no Peabody wtf
-
best thing in a long while.
-
grant's SF footage was awesome. kickflip at soma in the beginning was nuts
-
Just about perfect. I love how they dropped it with barely any hype surrounding it.
Also can we talk about Youtube's new 60fps option? That shit looked pristine. Like DVD quality.
-
franks hill bomb! (and front crook)
holy fuck that was tight.
they even put andy roys footage all in one place so you can pretend he doesnt exist!
-
After the Plan B video being released this year with 5 years of hype, who would have thought that Frank Grewer would have more footage than PJ Ladd and Danny Way combined this year.

I was being generous :-*
-
No julien no Peabody wtf
Julian had a front tail slide over the love seat at some park towards the end...maybe a few other clips but that was all I picked out so far after 2 watches. Many more will follow...
-
no hype full length, raw enough filming & editing style, gnarly as fuck skating from both old and new generations, good tunes, funny clips, minimal bullshit....this is how you do a video!
-
Just when I thought Dan Wolfe couldn't do anything dumber, he goes and makes something like this. And TOTALLY REDEEMS HIMSELF!!
-
great from start to finish. particularly enjoyed andy burning his mouth on oatmeal and the wounded expression he had afterward.
-
needed more Larry, otherwise pure stoke.
-
now i remember why i love anti hero
-
Gerwer's hill bomb, kinked boardslide, and back 3...pure stoke. the dude loves skateboarding. it's in the 20s here in cleveland and i couldn't help but go skate after seeing him skate. i hope you're lurking, Frank. <3 <3 <3
-
this 30 minute video can be watched for hours best vid ive seen in a while
-
-
well that was fan fucking tastic. street grant, boob grab grant, franks hill bomb and tnt fucking killed it so i cant wait to see his vans part. I had to pause and laugh for probably 5 minutes after andy was finished shooting the gun.
-
this is how you do it
-
I just jacked off.
-
I wish they would have recorded everyone's reactions when he let Andy take the pistol.
I thought that exact thing.
no peabody clips :(
I got so bummed when they didn't show his name in the beginning. Such crazy legs.
-
shit was refreshing. got me hyped.
I wanna see a remix of all robbies footy layed to a gangster beat.
-
andy roys lil part was cool hes going for broke on every trick. if you pause it frame by frame on the alley oop fakie grind pull in he is an inch away from doing the splits but just hangs on for dear life
-
also... this green screened dude had me laughing.

Fuck yes.
-
rip malcolm armstrong!
fucking sick video!
-
A couple friends and I joked about somebody dropping in off that rail and bombing the hill. Then Frank did it. Completely batshit insane.

That was great, as was the rest of the vid. Take notes, other companies.

Is anyone else getting cock blocked? Can't view it in Japan.

At first I couldn't believe that it was real and then I didn't want it to end. Thank you AH!

Fuck that was good.
Good to get that feel of more beyond just nice clean parts and nbd's.
Sick.

Awesome. Thank you!

The little bubble the Anti-Hero dudes live in is still the most admiral thing in skateboarding. They do it right.
Frank and Hewitts part is an instant classic. Infinite rewatch value.
-
I love how they didn't hype this video up at all. With the plan b video being released just a few days earlier, this had to have been intentional that they released it right after, just to show those dudes what's up, hah.
That was such a rad watch. So many sick tricks; gerwers hill bomb and grossos 5050 to fakie were my favorites. It's been a while since I've bought an anti hero board, I just might have to pick one up after watching this.
-
On the low, Pfanner had the most insane shit (next to the Frank hill bomb of course).
-
the fullpipe section is so sick
who did the frontside nosegrind 180 at potrero?

Completely agree. A lot of rad to go around in that video but Pfanner and Grosso were everything for me. Super high rewatch value.
So. damn. good.

Must learn 50-50 to fakie.

Best fucking thing to come out of 2014 for sure; guaranteed. :o :o :o

Julien has a secret part at 4 Secs in.

for me it was "ruby soho", thank god they didn't use it in the video though
you gotta give it up to antihero, they have NEVER jumped trends. just guys camping out, skating hard and being hessians.
loved seeing grosso in a crass shirt. i actually thought i saw quite a few julien tricks mixed in there ???
-
awesome, but needed more andrew allen.
-
AH saved the year.... Yesterday woke up and saw everyones post on insta and I was thinkin it was a joke or somenthing, a clip or whatever but no, full lenght... rewatchable for 18 years more
-
Anyone getting a sexually aggressive vibe between Roy and Russo?
-
Grosso still kills it, Grant destroys, Raney's a goddamn madman. Fuck.
-
I forgot how much I liked Peter Hewitt's style. That shared part was incredible. Everything was incredible.
-
full pipe section was amazing, as was the whole vid. street footage almost looked misplaced in this vid ...

Yeah I thought the same thing first watch. I realized after that I thought Grant Taylor's gap to noseblunt down the quarter pipe wave thing was Julian. They do have kinda similar style which I don't think I ever noticed before I mistook Grant for Julian.
But like everyone is saying, amazing these guys can just drop a full length on youtube and it's better than everything else I've seen in the last two years.

I didn't notice he was greenscreened my first few times watching, then laughed myself into fetal when I noticed
-
I've watched it about 10 times, perfection. The only thing that could make it better would be Dan Drehobl skating all those spots and parks with them
.
-
The clip where Hewitt has his hair slicked back, does the artsy pivot thing was hi-larious.
-
i really would have liked to see footage of peabody's switch kickflip at the full pipe...wasn't that a relatively recent ant-hero ad?

Actually came back in this thread to point out that Hewitt deserves AT LEAST as much love as Gerwer does, especially since he rips harder and has FOREVER.

i usedta not know who he is and wondered aloud 'who's that scary indian riding amtrak w/ the team?' cause i don't think he had any other footage on the old anti hero video. i miss the mystery, sometimes skating makes you cooler but in the case of a big scary indian on a skateboard trip i wish there was no explainable reason for him to be there.

...

Funny to watch all the 'skateparks r gay' street strugz brigade bumming the 'rawness' of this. Make up your minds girlz!
-
this was definitely one of the best videos i've watched. That Wet Dreams video was so sick too. Stoked that both videos came out in the same week
-
this video was fucking awesome. made me want to go explore for spots in random ass places fail at dropping in on mega transition and then go camp. the HD video really helped make all the scenic spots pop. it kept me going wtf through the whole video.
dan wolfe totally killed it. that loud screech from chris phanners looong 5050 was siiick. sound was perfect, all the songs were great. it starts off a bit weird but then it hits it groove reallly quickly.
this video gave me the same feeling as the supreme video but without all the pretentious horseshit. like some mix between cherry and a beauty and the beast tour. seems like they actually like skating and it isnt something getting in the way of becoming socialite trash. the way they organized parts was awesome, its mostly them but with bits of everyone else. less confusing than cherry.
that hill bomb was nuts! gerwer is still a beast, more than the hill bomb all the legit street tricks were sick just because it was unexpected. i like that it was included.
theres literally too much good stuff to comment on, its large transition and good vibes.
also this screencap of julien at the end explains my feelings on andy roy better than I can:
(http://i.imgur.com/m0L5lEZ.png)
i would buy this video in a heart beat. hands down best video of the year. I would say Cherry seemed intimidating but Destination Unknown made me genuinely psyched to go do something.
-
Two different type videos,i think young kids like Cherry and older cats will like DU.
Cherry has a unique editing style to it that i'd never seen before.
I think Fat Bill captured and showed me a whole new gang of kids that i'd never knew before (Sage,Aiden,Kevin,Nak,Tyshawn,Pablo)and that i happen to connect with more,as well as new footage of people i've been waiting to see(Dylan,Olson,even Paulo Diaz)
One video was filmed in the streets and one was filmed at 90% skate parks.(i like both,but very different)
Destination Unknown is an upgrade from the past Anti Hero videos.It's funny,I enjoy the video in a different way than Cherry,but formula wise,originality and video layout style it's nothing new and it doesn't compare to the Supreme video.
-
You feel a bigger connection to the cherry kids than the antihero crew? bwahahahahahahahahaha

it was good but i dont like anything unless its made by strobeck, I keep it real

Presented in glorious 720p60. I know TWS has done this for quite a while, time for others to follow.

i know it's nothing that hasn't been said already by just about everyone else on this board, but i really just want to preach to no one in particular about how god damn stoked i am on this video. there's a ton of good-to-great videos coming out nonstop with all sorts of crazy-talented skating, but shit like this really makes the difference. i tripped out at this just as hard as i did tent city back in the day, and after day after day after day of day of 8.5/10 webclips, it still only takes about 5 seconds of watching something like this to realize when the spark is there.
this shit is the fun vs. all the other "fun"

Hahaha, Grosso's laugh is priceless. I still remember Speed Freaks.
-
the song from Repo Man in the intro was perfect.
-
So good. Needed pretty much more everybody. Especially Larry, Allen and T-Mo. And why no peabody? he had an ad in the last few months. One thing the video was missing was a good rap song ala odb and brotha lynch hung.
-
Just watched the Gerwer/Hewitt section again, perfect start for the day.
love Gang of Four too, and the fact that these guys look like they would be fun to hang out with, which I cant say for everybody on the team.......
by the way, I had "Ruby Soho" too. and why not use it? good music is good music, whether it's been on MTV or not.
-
gerwer's hillbomb to powerslide across the intersection to gerwer slide under the car had me stoked since i watched it last wk. tonight it got me out to bomb the steeper of 2 hills i live on. i didn't just go straight down, there were some long slides but no feet on the ground and an exhilarating feeling. i don't know what france looks like but maybe you could get gnarlier on hills w/out reinjuring yourself?
i wanna get back to where i was in SF, bombing hills and powersliding after reaching high speeds as opposed to keeping myself from wobbling out mayhem.
-
well skating a lot of downhill "a la magenta" is actually my plan now that my foot is healed! unfortunately it's supposed to start snowing today or tomorrow and winter is just starting so........
anyways I'd be curious to see the Gerwer hill in person! the one time I came to SF the hills shocked me, video doesn't do 'em justice.....

Yeah I visited SF once with an exgirlfriend and, although I took my board and hit up a few parks, I never even considered trying to bomb any of those hills. I was more amazed by the sheer size and length of them than of the redwoods. Its crazy how most follow along filming while someone is bombing them doesn't capture how steep they are at all. I thought Franks was a pretty good angle though although Im thinking that was prolly only about half of the actual hill. Im assuming the bail at that point was planned???
-
Does the use of the Deliverance music in the full pipe section mean that Julien is actually Inbred Jed?

Indeed that's the very top of Kearny Street if you do the second hill you blast into where like 4 major streets intersect with twice as much speed it's basically suicide

according to wikipedia the motherfucker gerwer is 40! even if that's off, it can't be too far off. i forget the whole video except that hill. gerwer and oasis are gonna live forever. how fast? mach gerwer.

Did anyone else really enjoy the cinematography especially in the intro, idk it was just perfectly combined with the song they choose and instantly got me psyched to watch the rest of the video.
Also did i miss the Andrew Allen footy? i was waiting for it.
-
^He had a few tricks in Robbie Russo's part. I assume most of his (and Chris Pfanner's) footage is going towards the Vans video.

Best part! Had me hysterical.. I actually hated Jeff Grosso for a long time after seeing Speed Freaks, he just seemed like such a kook. So glad that subsided.... dude is the best a huge inspiration for those of us nearing 40 and getting a beer gut.
Funny to think of all the comments and 'anti-hero-doubters' over the last year or so (myself included)!!!

Real glad to see Andy and Frank come through as much as they did but everyone killed everything. I was initially a little wary knowing there wouldn't be that much Stranger and just the idea of an Anti Hero video w/o Cardiel shutting down every spot still seems weird but all the dudes plus Cocksparrer and GG and Siouxsie and closing with Raney and Peni... Whole thing was pretty phenomenal.

oh, there you are, skateboarding!
video of the year
-
From what I understand of Peabody, he would rather build parks with Grindline than pursue skateboard super-stardom.
-
So damn good.
Still trying to figure out why they wasted footy on Andy Roy riding a skateboard.
He's a great mascot and all but really? Stick to the demented drunkard routine.
-
This is pretty much a perfect video. Great music.
Love how the slow mo and second angles are kept to a bare minimum.
I would pay money to see the Hewitt/Gerwer comedy duo in a nightclub.
It's great how even with all these new young tranny rippers; that there is still something really special about TNT. And you would think him and Pfanner are holding onto their best stuff for the Vans video. That should be nuts.
My only small complaint is Grant doing a fs 5.0 over the hip at Fort Miley. That is bordering on sacrilege in my book. Do it for fun or to pay homage; but don't film it and put it in a video. I'm sure he is capable of a fs tail or smith. Better yet, do a fs nosegrind tailgrab and take out your almost teammate.
Anyways, this video rules. And I will be watching it multiple times.

Take another look at that Miller flip over the barrier. I've always enjoyed his skating, even 20 years ago when he rode for Santa Cruz. In all of his footage he looks so hyped and really giving his all to get a trick. Dude seems like a nightmare to hang out with, but I like to watch the snuggle bandit ride his board.

TNT's part was a welcome return to form. I had gotten the sense he had slowed considerably (and he probably has) but this was high quality stuff.
Seeing him skate at his peak (around the Tent City era) was truly an amazing thing. Completely instinctual, a new line every time, maybe bailing 5 times the entire day, going huge.

So damn good.
Still trying to figure out why they wasted footy on Andy Roy riding a skateboard.
He's a great mascot and all but really? Stick to the demented drunkard routine.
Yeah that Miller flip is pretty sick.
Lots of dudes give their all and get hyped to skate, and that's a wonderful thing.
It all boils down to the old adage, "it's not what you know, it's who you know"

I hope TNT murders the Vans video. I know tranny has its rebirth within the past years but I want him to show these guys whats up. For whatever reason, his In Bloom part is in my top 10 skate parts. Just love the whole part with the song, the yells, and even his ender breaking that thing in the pool.

This is pretty much a perfect video. Great music.
Love how the slow mo and second angles are kept to a bare minimum.
I would pay money to see the Hewitt/Gerwer comedy duo in a nightclub.

My only small complaint is Grant doing a fs 5.0 over the hip at Fort Miley. That is bordering on sacrilege in my book. Do it for fun or to pay homage; but don't film it and put it in a video. I'm sure he is capable of a fs tail or smith. Better yet, do a fs nosegrind tailgrab and take out your almost teammate.
Anyways, this video rules. And I will be watching it multiple times.
Initially I saw it as in poor taste too, but the more I think about it/nerd out on it the more I believe it was done either to pay homage to Phil or done spontaneously and just happened to get caught on camera. The footage, for one, looks like it was filmed in the heat of the moment and possibly on an iphone. He might not have even known it was being filmed. I doubt the mode of thinking was "fuck yeah, gonna go to Miley and film this 5-0 that Phil Shao did 18+ years ago, and it'll definitely go in the new antihero video, and that'll show em all". From what I've read and heard, Grant more seems like a guy who doesn't care about formalities and just worries about skating things he wants to and having fun. Lastly, Grant didn't edit the video, Julien Stranger did (along with dan wolfe's help this time according to the credits). If anyone's to be criticized, its Julien, although he probably put it in thinking that it was some fucked good skating. If you wanna overanalyze it like me, consider that when Phil died Julien honored him in an ad saying "Goodbye Phil The Straight up Best Skater I Knew"; Julien clearly held Phil Shao's skating in high regard, so maybe putting the 5-0 in the video was a way of saying to the viewer (and phil) that grant is a boundlessly gifted skateboarder and possibly now the best skater Julien has ever known.
All that and from what I've read and watched Phil seems like the kinda guy that would have loved to see grant grind that bar, regardless of history
Edit: Honestly though, the 5-0 was probably put in the video because he did it so why not

Fucking awesome video.
I'd still rather watch Robbie over Raney any day though.
