Fukn sik. Rule of 3s thing going on. Sagging a spiked belt seems like it would make things overly difficult

Also reference to this castle freak?

I was waiting for the dolphin flip. Didn't think he'd do 3. The one down the stair set looked pretty damn cool.

And props to Jeff Cheung on his trick too. He rips.

Alright so do I have this right:

Jeff Carlyle- shorter bearded dude that skates Ventures and sketchy, gnarly spots, and prefers SF hill bomb rollaways.

Chandler Burton- taller bearded dude that skates Ventures and sketchy, gnarly spots, and prefers Dolphin Flips

loved it. Chandler has a few tricks that he just makes look so fucking fire (nollie back 180/360, bs flip, cab, and dolphin flips) and i could watch him do those tricks all god damn day. never thought i would be hyped on a manny dolphin flip clip at Pier 7 but here we are

Kevin Braun had a beard look at one time too and is in SF. I had him and Jeff Carlyle mixed up.

Also they grew up together and are good friends.

Jeff appears to just buzz his head, while it would seem Chandler is cursed with male pattern baldness.

got me hyped to front board something (read: curb)

Post by: IpathCats on January 27, 2023, 11:29:17 AM
That was sick. Started off with some kinda meh trick selection, but he really picked it up at the end.

I like that he's making forward flips his thing, i have a soft spot for illegal tricks done well, and his are nice.

that feeble on the ledge was sick too.

He has really good style when going big, not as much on the smaller stuff.

Straight up TOP tier arm steez.

sick vibe with the song too, great part.

He rips so hard . Also the nicest dude, it’s funny he’s very soft spoken but damn does his skating speak loudly. Dolphin flip on the stairs and the double cab line were sick. First drop in is a thing of nightmares too.

Like that ive been see more just straight drops in video parts lately. Sometimes you just wanna see people roll off really tall shit .

2nd half was a little heavy on the cabs and forward flips but to each their own. I still enjoyed it overall.

Vans is blowing it by not giving Chandler a contract, even after he stole the show at the Dime comp. If this part doesn't get him promoted from flow then another shoe company should take the opportunity to swoop him up.

Great part. Really good person. Good song choice.

Definitely agree, after this part and him killing it and haveing some of the most memorable things at dime. Vans needs to start upping that cash and out him on or someone should swoop in and make an offer. He wouldn’t fit on NB but that would be cool.

That part has gotten me more hyped than anything has in a while. Three seasons was dope dlx camp is crushing it this year out the gate.

Chandler seems like an awesome dude and the part was great. Gonna watch it again before skating.

I guess there's no way to know whether those digital castle things were AI generated or not. But, from the style and everything, it looks like most AI generated pieces. And I wouldn't be surprised if they were to just look up "cool dark ominous castles" into an AI machine then placed them in the vid. It's all speculation tho :)

Chandler Burton is by no means a fit-over-substance skater, so that argument falls flat.  Chandler’s mostly rocking t-shirts and mildly baggy jeans, not incredibly dissimilar to Decenzo…

Great song choice. Unique trick selection makes this guy fun to watch, even if I have to sit through cheesy fantasy-themed B-roll. Nollie back lip is an underrated trick and he made it look really good on that hubba.

Vans is blowing it by not putting him on. From a marketing perspective, a queer skater with a distinct look, style, and creative vision could be a good asset for ad campaigns and colorways. It seems like he's only gonna get better and more visible as time goes on too.

I actually think they do because they move their limbs somewhat slowly especially on flip tricks. Early BA also did more basic rail tricks like large front boards and also had a similar looking backside flip that rotated slowly and made the tall guy stomp look smooth. He definitely didn't do full cabs or nollie back lips you're right on that.

In the new Thrasher he talks about not making much money off skating, basically just There board royalties.  Gets pretty vocal about how big companies in skating will push queer skaters for specific projects but not support them consistently.  He also goes on about how much he loves Monster and wants them to put him on. 

Not that I disagree or judge him for saying any of that.  He’s arguably the best fully “out” skater right now and deserves to be taken care of as long as he’s pushing himself the way he has been.

Nah for sure. I think the no guard haircut and some of the fits for sure look like Sheep/Welcome to Hell era BA. Also, I’d rather not end up pissing either of them off considering they both look like they're 6’4”.

That said I’m mainly responding cause I wanna say that just cause I don’t agree doesn’t mean I’m trying to come off like I’m attacking you.

Chandler (as well as a wholllllllle bunch of other people on Vans pro-flow) also definitely deserves to be getting hooked the fuck up. Wonder how they pay for one off colorways for people that aren’t on the team - ie Cher, Jerry/Sci-Fi, etc.

Great song choice. Unique trick selection makes this guy fun to watch, even if I have to sit through cheesy fantasy-themed B-roll. Nollie back lip is an underrated trick and he made it look really good on that hubba.

Vans is blowing it by not putting him on. From a marketing perspective, a queer skater with a distinct look, style, and creative vision could be a good asset for ad campaigns and colorways. It seems like he's only gonna get better and more visible as time goes on too.
Also, he's on DLX umbrella. It'll not take longer for vans give him a contract.

Rewatching this and his older footage and I actually think this really doesn't compare or do him justice. There's solid stuff for sure, but he's got a better rail and ledge game than this lets on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1u231yii5YE

Most of it is the filming of the bigger stuff and probably too many drops.

If it was shot a bit closer, with VX, more fisheye, no animation, and he didn't have facial hair it would probably pass for a BA Toy Machine part that never came out.

This guy doesn't skate like Brian Anderson at all.

You’re always carrying around Monster stickers and repping Monster logos. Are you sponsored by them?

No, dude, I’m not. I want to fucking ride for Monster. I want to be part of the army. I basically collect Monster shirts and Monster attire and if somebody were to just tell me to wear a fucking Monster patch on every pair of pants, I wouldn’t even bat an eye. I would fully do that. I love Monster. I’d get it tattooed on my body. If they fuck with me, I would fuck with them way more than I already do. So yeah, sponsor me, Monster.

it is crazy this illusion that a pro makes all this coin
only the very top with sick ass shoe deals are making that money
gifted hater, ben de gros, dan corrigan, berrics, revive, braille, all makes more money than any pro that doesnt have thier own shoe
think about it too how risky it is, you are out there killing yourself every day, and the longer you do it, the less valuable your name is (most of the time). its the complete opposite of a normal job where the longer you work there, the MORE you get paid. it really makes no sense for anyone to pursue it to be honest.

Regarding the art compilation at 2:02, yes it's very likely AI generated, here are some tells:
(https://i.imgur.com/6GC5ePG.png)

1- right side castle 'drawn' as if it were much farther away judging by the perspective, and position relative to the left side castle

2- common AI artifacts, nonsense smudges, most arts picked got away with these due to the dark fantasy theme and rough style

3- same prompt used for the 3 arts, little sense in paying an artist to draw the same shit thrice. The same thing can be said for the entire compilation actually

4- cave with the horizon visible but there is a huge mountain or wtv behind it, that is still possible if the mountain has an improbable hole coincidentally in its non visible part but artists would avoid this type of confusion either way

5- nonsense smudges again, sky invading the castle at the top, and walls invading door space right below

Been fiddling with AI shit lately but I'm no specialist

And dope vid, 50 50 over that thing was pretty nice

vans has fabiana delfino, brianna geering and cher strauberry. nike has leo baker, BA, hayley wilson and elissa steamer. cons has alexis sablone, adidas has jenn soto.

Vans is blowing it by not giving Chandler a contract, even after he stole the show at the Dime comp. If this part doesn't get him promoted from flow then another shoe company should take the opportunity to swoop him up.

Great part. Really good person. Good song choice.

This seems like a pretty bad way of doing things. Why not just give them the money instead of shipping a bunch of product everywhere. Plus any shop that's near where a dlx am lives is probably not that psyched they're getting undercut all the time.

If Harmony is still getting paid. Thoughts and prayers.

Whoever made the Darrell Stanton comparison nailed what I was thinking while watching. I couldn’t quite figure it out but that seems pretty spot on for me. I do see the BA comparison as well but that might be cause they’re both bald, tall, and powerful.
