In the latest Thrasher they say that the new Chima part will have the footage for a couple of his photos from his recent Thrasher interview. So it must be in there.
Can't wait to see it. Chima's been so consistent for so long, I feel like this might be his defining part.
-
Excited for Chima, Nick Michel, and Dustin Henry footage.
-
new chima (and nick michel?) footage is always a treat

a defining part at 32? im not sayin he has to pack it up but i definitely believe he has already hit his peak. Dont get me wrong I loved the footage he put out back in 2008 in that Killself video and Let's Live but everything after that has just been kinda meh. I couldnt tell you one trick from the last Vans video he had last part in. Maybe this part will do it for me? Maybe he will get SOTY? doubtful. also arent chima and his brother slightly racist?

Def I will be wathing this, Chima, Dustin, Breeana, will be great to watch.
But also is a bummer that a few hours before we can see all the soundtrack of the video, won't be as surprise as could be in a normal premiere if you know some of the tracks or google them (wich I wont), but glad to see some DGar music there.

this is the dumbest shit i’ve read on here in quite some time. i’m pretty excited to see you look even dumber in 3 hours hours when this part drops.

https://youtu.be/J-tCWu7TY3c
So fucking good
-
So sick. All of it.
-
holy CHIMA!
-
The catch on Chima's kickflip was just absurd
-
Dustin Henry's kf frontside nosegrind
-
yeah that’s the guy with the trophy right there. some of that just didn’t look real. if you don’t like that part/video you’re a complete goof.
-
chimas part is ridiculous, nobody floats down shit like him. that ollie is still incomprehensible
dustin's skating is magical. breezy and una are so sick, the crook into the crusty roof is gnarly
becoming a big fan of alexey too, and the japan section was all so good, fuck it was all so good i wanna go skate
-
First time hearing of Alexey Krasniy, call me a fan.
-
Loved all of this. Nick's part was amazing as expected. Really loved the Diego/Etienne/Pedro section too. Chima SOTY.
-
Chima’s footage was phenomenal and other-worldly (and definitely disproved dudeonthecoach’s stupid-ass prediction), but god damn the filming was horrible. I’d be pissed if I was Chima and my hard work was sullied like that.
-
Amazing video. Was expecting a 14 minute video with a couple parts but that was a proper full length in 2021. Loved how international it was. Too many good things to mention. I think it was just especially refreshing because I was expecting another Elijah Berle x Greg Hunt style video
-
Unbelievable skating. Dustin's section was probably my favorite, though it was full of insane stuff throughout the whole thing. Pedro successfully just ended roll on grinds for everyone. It was nice seeing ET footage and Diego land some tricks. Breana had some surprising stuff like the handrail 5.0 and double set hardflip, was looking forward to her part. Oh also, Nick Michel has some wild stuff. Skating to SDR was perfect.
Also, you have have be an asshole not to like Chima's part in this. Truly amazing shit.
Long story short, I will be watching again for sure.
-
didnt expect to ever love a Vans video but this was fantastic
pedro should be on Hockey or AH or something worth his time
the Martin Place ollie was just ridiculous. Lotta heavy parts, loved the global sections as well
-
Only watched first part so far but some of that fisheye is sus.
Edit:
Chima's switch tre was insane; the whole part was tho really.
-
wait 21:35 ISNT Tony Trujillo?
great video
-
that oliie over the rail to boardslide on the other one was amazing .
-
Chima fucking went for it. Those are some pretty crazy hammers for anyone let alone someone in their 30's. Chima's constantly delivered great parts for almost 15 years. Legend.

You, sir, must eat your words

Chima is the Australian Reynolds.
I liked all of the Japanese guys and gal.
-

And they broke out a super old Hot Water Music song… nice.
-
Wow, I really liked all of that. The Notis Aggelis part followed by the Japan section was really refreshing. Also really delighted with Dustin Henry, per usual. And then wow, that Chima ollie.
Crazy to have to say this these days, but that 45 minutes held onto me the whole time.
-
can someone gif nick michels wallie back lip fakie
Seconded. The filming was impeccable
-
Chima is a beast. I coulda' just skipped to that part. Holy shit.
Edit: that's not to say I didn't enjoy other stuff, but his part was on another level. Nick's part was sick too, good music choice. I agree that a lot of the fisheye filming was sus - seems like people spent so much time trying to emulate Strobek that they legit forgot how to film fisheye.
-
Damn, I throughly enjoyed that.
-
Chima’s footage was phenomenal and other-worldly (and definitely disproved dudeonthecoach’s stupid-ass prediction), but god damn the filming was horrible. I’d be pissed if I was Chima and my hard work was sullied like that.
Noticed this too. The fisheye shots were so tight you’d miss most of the trick. Long lens stuff was fine. Truly a shame, but thankfully doesn’t ruin a fine Chima part. I don’t think he’s ever really put out anything sub par. Love the spots he skates, and he makes jumping down big stuff pleasurable and stylish.
Dustin Henry is always a treat.
-
Not really any nice way to say it but the differential between Breana and Chima's parts are brutal.
-
I provide for the people. Nick Michael skating to Sunny Day is perfection.

-
Whole vid was fantastic!!!
-
The video was like back in the day when you didn’t know who the skater was. Never heard of the first dude and his part was fucking heavy!!!!
Dustin Henry looks so much better in fresher clothes. His part was super rad. Grip tape trend watch.
So glad Digby is getting shine. So good.
There was too many good skaters. Fuck n hell.
-
skating in gloves and an extra jacket for padding gonna be hot in 2022
-
Ronnie street tricks did it for me. Chima's best part ever?
Liked Breanna's part but thought her cover grind would've gona alot further out the ledge.
-
Tristan and Tre with the sexy cameo in Dustin's part.
-
https://youtu.be/J-tCWu7TY3c
Holy fuck Chima is the GOAT
-
Vans: China's part
Me: Must be SOTY season already
Holy shit.
-
Sooooooooooo.....full length of the year? (This or Grand Prairie?)
Also, that cameo at 26:36.
-
so are people going to start using gloves for their enders now or what
-

is that not okay when someone is jumping down the biggest shit ever..? you guys really go out of your way sometimes. if tom k wore gloves in a clip skating three 5 stairs in a row everyone would cream their pants and say it was cool and it’s okay cause the uk has shitty ground. cut it out.
-
Chima part was incredible but some of that filming really didn't do the tricks justice. A lot of those deserved better/second angles.
-
Sunny Day and Tiger Army are bands I never thought I’d hear in a full length skateboard video and I am not upset about it.
This fucking ruled.
-
so are people going to start using gloves for their enders now or what
If you’re a dad and a husband of one of the hottest women alive I think you should get a pass for the gloves. His hands are a bit more valuable than your average man.
Fuck yeah Chima! That part ruled. Whoever said he was past his prime is an idiot. His best yet and doesn’t look to be slowing any time soon.
-
Dustin Henry's kf frontside nosegrind
Can someone make a GIF of this for a gnar? Jordan Taylor dance sig might need replacing.
-

The close-up fisheye doesn't do this trick justice; the photo looks way sicker.

Awesome lineup. High rewatch value.
-

that bitch is so disgusting and not good at all. 0 pop
-
Between this and Jack Ogradys part. It seems likely an Australian is going to win SOTY for the first time
-
think about it.. could be done
(https://i.ibb.co/vPcY9mb/Chima1.jpg)
(https://i.ibb.co/2jG9Htn/Chima2.png)
-
McCrank clip = Good video
-
Chima’s part is like Sammy Baca’s Baker 4 part with slightly less emotion and gnarlier tricks. SOTY candidate for sure
-
Chima's ender had my jaw on the floor. Holy fucking shit. Loved the whole video. Need to give it a rewatch but Nick Michel and Dustin and the Japan section were standouts for me

Concerning the Chima's brother is racist thing I think it's more Americans not understanding just because USA and Aus both speak English doesn't mean it's the same English and words mean different things.
I think the story is some Americans were being dickheads and Chima's brother called them out on it and one said something like why don't you have my back were both black to which Chima's brother replied "I'm not black, im Australian!"
For people born before this millenium in Aus black generally means African American. I don't know Chima or his brother but my friends in high school would get really bothered by people calling them black they said it was like just calling any Asian person Chinese
-
The thing about Chima is he lands his shit like he was dropping off a gutter
He makes it look so easy it’s hard to recognise

Nah you're trippin. Indigenous people refer to themselves as black. As do the majority of Somalians and Sudanese people I know regardless of whether they were born here or moved here. Generally people prefer to be noted for their nationality rather than skin colour of course. I'm mixed, volunteer in community services, and I hear it all the time.

Sick video, stoked to see McCrank as well as Notis (Greece!). I could watch Chima cruise around and just pop ollies all day, so smooth.

I'd trade my whole nutsack for Ronnie's Madonnas

I only had a chance to watch the Chima part so far (getting old and losing time sucks) but I can vividly remember a really fucking wicked switch tre and also not understanding how the ender worked.
Am I the only one who thinks that if you haul ass running and throw down that you can get more speed than an average bike rider? Maybe I'm hanging out with the wrong bicyclists...
-
I am stating it here that I must eat my words because that was a pretty solid part. still dont see the whole SOTY thing but that was some quality footage.
Also, all you HD filmers need to relearn how to film fisheye. so many shots of just feet pushing. tilt that camera up a little more. some of the vx fisheye tricks dont translate to HD fisheye

It’s hard to see but that run up before is like a street or two long. So Sammy has a lot of time to pick up speed along with Chima doing the pull forward thing from Thps which causes him to get more speed I’m pretty sure. Needless to say insane point blank.
-
chima rules.
dustin henry rules
vans is a crazy deep roster, which rules.
-
The bs 360 and switch 360 flip both done the hard way over that handrail were unreal.
Loved Nick Michel's part. Definitely my favorite in the video.

I've made friends redo tricks because I cut off their heads during fisheye filming. Now I know I can just run it because apparently its good enough for a vans vid.

Chima is the Australian Reynolds.
I can see that for sure.
Great video, great skating, great music and editing. Some of the filming was too close throughout, but that's a complaint I have for most videos these days (see signature).
Great job, Greg.
Kudos to all the skaters.
-
The bs 360 and switch 360 flip both done the hard way over that handrail were unreal.
This. The whole part was amazing, plus the ollie, but those two stood out for me as well.
Pedro's last trick is ridiculous. His kickflip over the street gap should've been filmed from a little farther back.
Love Diego Todd footage. The kickflip was amazing.
Dustin's part was so good.
Breanna's double-set hardflip was sick.
Nick Michel's last trick and cab to switch hill bomb was awesome.
Rewatchable video for sure.
-
Can we agree that Vans recent footage output is pretty on point.
really good stuff in this video - could watch couple of times.
just 3 weeks ago Incompiuto Vans Euro was super great
Berle / Hunt Alright OK was litte pathetic - but good to.
The Pedro Barroso Free Dream was not really official Vans - but had Vans all written over - and was
great.
-
So rad to listen to SDRE in a part - especially when they didn't choose the two most obvious songs (In Circles, Seven). Still want to see someone skating to Grendel or Tearing in My Heart though.
-
I only had a chance to watch the Chima part so far (getting old and losing time sucks) but I can vividly remember a really fucking wicked switch tre and also not understanding how the ender worked.
It's hard to talk stand-outs with a packed part like that, but the Switch 360 Flip also struck me as special. Usually people seem to catch late when throwing them down stuff, but this was popped and caught with so much power.
-
Chima is in his own league. Incredible part.Cant see anyone topping that this year.
-
Nick Michel is the chosen one

Tearing in my heart was used in a tws video montage. Forget which video
-
I must be out of step but I just thought it was ok. Filming was very uneven, espically the first half. I can't stand emo music so you can guess my opinion of the soundtrack.
Maybe my attention span has shrunk too at this point but this should have been two or a few videos instead. Breana, Ronnie, Dustin and Chima parts together as a pro vid, with the obligatory am montage of course; then a separate video or videos focusing on the skaters/scenes around the globe.
In this format it felt a bit cobbled together, also a bit bloated. At times I felt like I was stuck toughing out yet another kid nosesliding a knee high ledge in order to get to the good stuff.
I feel like all Vans full lengths disappoint me a bit though. With the ridiculous amount of talent that team has they oughtta be putting out the best vid of the year every time they do a full length. Hell they oughtta be able to put one out every year too, considering the team.

In the latest Thrasher they say that the new Chima part will have the footage for a couple of his photos from his recent Thrasher interview. So it must be in there.
Can't wait to see it. Chima's been so consistent for so long, I feel like this might be his defining part.
a defining part at 32? im not sayin he has to pack it up but i definitely believe he has already hit his peak. Dont get me wrong I loved the footage he put out back in 2008 in that Killself video and Let's Live but everything after that has just been kinda meh. I couldnt tell you one trick from the last Vans video he had last part in. Maybe this part will do it for me? Maybe he will get SOTY? doubtful. also arent chima and his brother slightly racist?
Concerning the Chima's brother is racist thing I think it's more Americans not understanding just because USA and Aus both speak English doesn't mean it's the same English and words mean different things.
I think the story is some Americans were being dickheads and Chima's brother called them out on it and one said something like why don't you have my back were both black to which Chima's brother replied "I'm not black, im Australian!"
For people born before this millenium in Aus black generally means African American. I don't know Chima or his brother but my friends in high school would get really bothered by people calling them black they said it was like just calling any Asian person Chinese
Nah you're trippin. Indigenous people refer to themselves as black. As do the majority of Somalians and Sudanese people I know regardless of whether they were born here or moved here. Generally people prefer to be noted for their nationality rather than skin colour of course. I'm mixed, volunteer in community services, and I hear it all the time.
Hmm weird these friends were mostly Aboriginal and Sudanese. Guess I'm from some strange bubble.
Not saying you're wrong btw. We've both just had different experiences.
chima and his brother slightly racist?
[/quote]
I think they are slightly colored.
why don't you have my back were both black to which Chima's brother replied "I'm not black, im Australian!"
[/quote]
if he don't define about the color of the skin - it doesn't make him a racist.
Racism is a global problem - but the issue in this case is that if you grow up in the US
as an young male with darker skin color then the majority of the people you face different kind of Racism then
people growing up in Australia, France, Germany etc. etc. for sure you face racism there too - but different.
So you have a different point of view.
His point of view is - he is Australian first - and he did not care that much about the color of your skin.
He care more about your behavior in interaction with him or other people.
Because everyone in Australia is an immigrant (ok Koori / Anangu arrived already 50.000years ago -but this is 1% of the people) - and half of the nations arrived the last 60years.
-
Surprisingly classic, reminding me of those Volcom edits

what an emo ass soundtrack. Glad to see everyone liked it.

I didn't know that, found now. Transworld I.E, "16mm Part".
-
was really digging the soundtrack right up until Chima's part. dont know wtf they were thinking with those 2. not sure who they are appealing to with that... way to absolutely kill the vibe of the video and the best footage. jesus. absolutely amazing footage ruined with that song. hopefully someone does a remix of that part. the only worse song i can think of on an ending part is lennie kirk on timecode

Interesting analysis. I partially agree, but I don't think it has to be framed as a negative. From my vantage point it appears that Gen Z's consumer preferences are different than previous generations.
These shifting consumer tastes are largely driving this phenomenon of moving away from "skill" and adherence to group norms with a much larger emphasis on friendship, creative expression, and diversity than in the past.
Skateboarding is a really cool blend of art and sport, and that tension of style (how you do things) vs. skill (what you can do) has always existed. Think Hosoi vs. Hawk in the 80s.
The formula is imprecise, but it seems that to succeed in the skate industry brands have to walk that line with who they pick and choose to represent their products and how they market themselves.
Gen Z seems to be the first generation to be true digital natives in the sense that (with the exception of the oldest of their cohort) they cannot remember a time in which social media didn't exist. They tend to be a lot more accepting of people's differences, which I think can be attributed to growing up in hyper-fractured online spaces with hundreds, if not thousands, of cultural niches to mix and match at will.
Millennials accelerated this phenomenon, but the world was still physical enough that a more standard set of tastes and values emerged.
The defining feature of Gen Z seems to be embracing "corny" stuff like Y2K fashion, emo and post-grunge music, and looking at skateboarding as a way to express themselves and meet people. Not taking it as seriously. Having fun with it and caring a lot less about what is "cool." Being anti-cool is cool now or something haha.
I think these changes can lead to a lot of positives! I came up on the tail end of a much harsher, judgmental, white-and-male-dominated subculture. A lot of the hand-wringing I see from older skaters I think is fundamentally rooted in existential anxiety as they are slowly being pushed aside for a new paradigm.
The kids at skateparks nowadays seem a lot nicer, friendlier, and hyped on most things as opposed to when I was their age. They are the most diverse generation in US history, and are more aware of social issues and current events than their predecessors.
I'm sure the bean counters at VF Corp ran the numbers and realized that in addition to being a "good look," moving away from the industry formula of taking skinny, primarily caucasian skaters and convincing them the only way to succeed in skateboarding was to move to California and jump down as many stairs/grind the biggest rails possible doesn't translate to dollars as much as it used to.
The teens and twenty-somethings of today are more diverse, and they want to see themselves represented in their subcultures. While reactionaries in the community rant and rave about the latest shoe company ad featuring a woman doing a "sub-par" trick, tens of thousands of girls see that ad on Instagram and get inspired to go out and push their own boundaries.
This only gets more women and girls in skateboarding and elevates the talent pool as a whole. It's crazy to see footage from women's contests even a decade ago vs. now. The skill differential is insane, and women are only continuing to get better and catch up to their male counterparts. This is a HUGE positive.
Let's see the bigger picture here. It's a balance, and there will always be a welcome spot in skateboarding for people who rip and push the discipline to new heights.
I'm very stoked overall on the new, more inclusive and welcoming direction skateboarding has been going for some time now. Sorry for the rant lol.

Bumping as well to drop the reminder that Reynolds dropped his Stay Gold part when he was 32. Never say never.

Personally I don't care that the tricks women do are "sub par" but it's a bit unappealing when the trick is at an already blown out spot/abd or just a boring spot. If all you can do is a Manny then fuck it find a weird Manny pad and film from an interesting perspective. Just put in effort to make something interesting in another way. This goes for everyone tho Bobby puleo might not have the biggest bag of tricks but his parts are good because he Ollied some random thing nobody has seen before not just some gap we've seen a hundred times already.

Maybe my attention span has shrunk too at this point but this should have been two or a few videos instead. Breana, Ronnie, Dustin and Chima parts together as a pro vid, with the obligatory am montage of course; then a separate video or videos focusing on the skaters/scenes around the globe.
In this format it felt a bit cobbled together, also a bit bloated. At times I felt like I was stuck toughing out yet another kid nosesliding a knee high ledge in order to get to the good stuff.

I noted that, filming and editing were very different in every part, but as you can see on credits, everything was filmed / edited by different people so make sense. If not its hard to be on all those places as unique filmer in COVID times.
For me I liked the whole thing, in general. Rewatch material. But in some cases I though they cut the landing too quick for some reason, you can see on ronnie sandoval drop, breeana trick of the cover, and some more (maybe Im confused just saw it once)
Also the music in some cases was too long for the part, the china part and don't remember the other, but felt like I was watching Thrill of it all when they used the intro of the song because the part was really short.
Also I dont like this trend(?) where they film the skater long lens pushing to the ledge, bank, rail whatever. the filmer liked that pushing to use it but is not a make, then they put together that approaching with the make, but the make is filmed from a slightly different angle, (not a b roll form a way different angle), is very similar but you just can see like a little cut, jump that is really disturbing. I don't know if I'm explaining wel, but I dont like that.

So much heavy stuff in there. Nick Michel's part was incredible. his nosegrind at 1:40 is amongst the most proper i have ever seen.

I'm very stoked overall on the new, more inclusive and welcoming direction skateboarding has been going for some time now. Sorry for the rant lol.
Personally I don't care that the tricks women do are "sub par" but it's a bit unappealing when the trick is at an already blown out spot/abd or just a boring spot.
Weird how this is brought up for women and not Ronnie Sandoval ???
well ronnie sandoval is a more transition dominant skater. imagine if reynolds started skating vert for whatever reason. you wouldn’t expect him to be an A tier vert skater would you?

I'm so very happy I waited until I could watch this on my big living room tv with proper sound instead of just slipping on my headphones and watching it from my computer or worse phone.
Everything clicked for me and this might possibly be my favorite vans video and washed the gross taste of Alright ok off of my tongue.
Chima lands and does everything with absolute razor precision and subtle power. The second song's all too familiar opening almost had me disappointed at first (being a huge oldies fan), but it actually ended up going with the scope of that section with the surround sound system I've got. It takes a powerful song to go with that powerful section.
-
great video with high rewatch value, particularly nick, dustin, notis, and of course chima. between his part in spinning away and this one, in my mind he's up there alongside geoff/arto/heath in that he does truly insane yet tasteful shit, elegantly, to songs that level up the emotion and drama. i think that's why watching him skate triggers an instant feeling of nostalgia for me, just feels like a throwback to some of the best, most classic parts from my youth.
and kinda off topic, but seeing notis skate made me remember how much i love this greek scene video from 2015. good watch if you like hyperlocal vids and want to see how he's progressed:

Song About An Angel is my favorite SDRE song of all time. Stoked (and surprised) that it was finally used in a skate part.
-
This has gotta be my favorite Chima Part. It reminds me of when I saw one of his very first video parts, when he was kickflipping and ollying huge shit.

Every Portland skaters jaws are still on the floor after seeing that Pedro ride on grind. Shit is madness. Felt like that dad in the Baker has a Deathwish video, “been waiting a loooong time to see this…”

was really digging the soundtrack right up until Chima's part. dont know wtf they were thinking with those 2. not sure who they are appealing to with that... way to absolutely kill the vibe of the video and the best footage. jesus. absolutely amazing footage ruined with that song. hopefully someone does a remix of that part. the only worse song i can think of on an ending part is lennie kirk on timecode
worst take ive ever read

Love this video. Skating was super sick. My only gripe is the first song in the Japanese montage, it didn't seem to "flow" with the rest of the video's soundtrack. Otherwise another Vans masterpiece in my book.
-
Breana should have had the last part and then cut. Chima's part should have been released standalone. the fact they put it out standalone knows they know... smh just bloated up their video for the sake of it i guess. he didnt have all the buddy hi-5's in his part and shit. i was so mentally exhausted by the time his part cmae on i honestly dont remember anything besides the stuff i already saw that got leaked and the switch 3 flip over the rail.

He should have kick flipped the double set.

At this point I think Beatrice needs to take a break from being filmed until we can't predict exactly what she's gonna do. C'mon. As soon as I saw her face I guessed 5050/5-0 shove. Her own team mates have called her out on record for that a few years ago now. It's embarrassing.

loved it.
especially hearing sunny day real estate in it.
so sick.

This was honestly one of the best full-lengths I've seen in ages, great vibes all the way through. Chima just catapulted himself into legend territory for sure. Breezy was sick as fuck, didn't expect that Thrasher cover crook into the roof bank to go to fakie, honestly made it way sicker riding down that thing switch.
Notis was incredible, hope to see more of him soon. Dustin Henry and Nick Michel shredded. Pedro's ride-on grind game is out of control.
Japan section was possibly my favorite, so much incredible skating and spot-selection in there. Anyone know who the girl in that section was? Sick style on that smith and bs flip
Definitely high rewatch value on this for sure.

Nick Michel will go down as one of the all time greats, mark my words on that.

-
Nick Michel is coming for Kyota's currently held title of "Best Full Body Slams Into an Object Post Make"
-
I already forget most of it but here’s what I recall;
Nick’s part was seriously lacking some second angles and replays, straight up botched filming in there too, he deserves better.
Ronnie is on a tear and his output over the year should put him on the SOTY shortlist, and I’m not even that into transition skating.
Breezy had the best part, imo. Great song, filming/editing was on point, and she truly stepped her game up and proved why she deserves a board. Feel good part for sure.
Would’ve been more into Chima’s had they steered clear of the soulful oldies music that’s in every video these days, yet doesn’t compliment skating whatsoever. Having nearly all the serious hammers spoiled beforehand ruins it too. I know it’s hard to keep things secret these days but my god. Dude’s a legend for sure but idk about SOTY. Tbh I can’t think of any clear frontrunner yet, but the race is still young.

Get kooked every time I say it, but I fully agree on Timecode. Freddy/Kalis/Lennie parts are legendary, but the first-wave Alien team was sacred to me, and to finally see a video with all of them featured again, only to have such mediocre footage in such a thrown together video, was so disappointing.

I actually found the song for Chima's part bearable as it kinda' felt like I was watching a Reynolds part.
Couldn't stand the song chosen for Ronnie's part though, it did not complement the heaviness of his skating at all but took away from it a bit imo.

Ronnie is so rad, Body Maintenance was a great song choice, and I hope that clown boy hating on Nick in his pro thread watches this part and eats his own socks

Chima SOTY. His skills are undeniable. Big. Tech. Smooth

Chima owns Martin Pl. He's killed it there since he was a kid.
Nick Michel's part was one of the best this year - SDRE was perfect.
And if anyone can tell me if that spot @ 6:12 is in Melbourne I'd be super thankful, looks incredible.

Just watched Chima's part.
Geeze he is too good.
That double set ollie at martin is fudged
need to watch the rest of it now
(this is the first skate vid I've wanted to watch in ages)

Vans the gang way, just watched some of the full vid
-
Enjoyed the whole video, ill be watching it again for sure.
All the parts had stand out tricks and no part let me down, I didn't have an issue with the music, which is pretty rare these days in a full length.
Hadn't heard of alexey or notis but planning to check out more of them.
-
second I heard that drum into by SDRE I knew it was on!
-
Not many people can make big, gnarly skating look as graceful as Chima. Dude is incredible.
Notis was a standout for me, no easy feat in a stacked video.
Love his approach to skating and look forward to seeing more from him.

I must be out of step but I just thought it was ok. Filming was very uneven, espically the first half. I can't stand emo music so you can guess my opinion of the soundtrack.
In this format it felt a bit cobbled together, also a bit bloated. At times I felt like I was stuck toughing out yet another kid nosesliding a knee high ledge in order to get to the good stuff.
I feel like all Vans full lengths disappoint me a bit though. With the ridiculous amount of talent that team has they oughtta be putting out the best vid of the year every time they do a full length. Hell they oughtta be able to put one out every year too, considering the team.
These shifting consumer tastes are largely driving this phenomenon of moving away from "skill" and adherence to group norms with a much larger emphasis on friendship, creative expression, and diversity than in the past.
Skateboarding is a really cool blend of art and sport, and that tension of style (how you do things) vs. skill (what you can do) has always existed. Think Hosoi vs. Hawk in the 80s.
The formula is imprecise, but it seems that to succeed in the skate industry brands have to walk that line with who they pick and choose to represent their products and how they market themselves.
Gen Z seems to be the first generation to be true digital natives in the sense that (with the exception of the oldest of their cohort) they cannot remember a time in which social media didn't exist. They tend to be a lot more accepting of people's differences, which I think can be attributed to growing up in hyper-fractured online spaces with hundreds, if not thousands, of cultural niches to mix and match at will.
Millennials accelerated this phenomenon, but the world was still physical enough that a more standard set of tastes and values emerged.
The defining feature of Gen Z seems to be embracing "corny" stuff like Y2K fashion, emo and post-grunge music, and looking at skateboarding as a way to express themselves and meet people. Not taking it as seriously. Having fun with it and caring a lot less about what is "cool." Being anti-cool is cool now or something haha.
I think these changes can lead to a lot of positives! I came up on the tail end of a much harsher, judgmental, white-and-male-dominated subculture. A lot of the hand-wringing I see from older skaters I think is fundamentally rooted in existential anxiety as they are slowly being pushed aside for a new paradigm.
The kids at skateparks nowadays seem a lot nicer, friendlier, and hyped on most things as opposed to when I was their age. They are the most diverse generation in US history, and are more aware of social issues and current events than their predecessors.
I'm sure the bean counters at VF Corp ran the numbers and realized that in addition to being a "good look," moving away from the industry formula of taking skinny, primarily caucasian skaters and convincing them the only way to succeed in skateboarding was to move to California and jump down as many stairs/grind the biggest rails possible doesn't translate to dollars as much as it used to.
The teens and twenty-somethings of today are more diverse, and they want to see themselves represented in their subcultures. While reactionaries in the community rant and rave about the latest shoe company ad featuring a woman doing a "sub-par" trick, tens of thousands of girls see that ad on Instagram and get inspired to go out and push their own boundaries.
This only gets more women and girls in skateboarding and elevates the talent pool as a whole. It's crazy to see footage from women's contests even a decade ago vs. now. The skill differential is insane, and women are only continuing to get better and catch up to their male counterparts. This is a HUGE positive.
Let's see the bigger picture here. It's a balance, and there will always be a welcome spot in skateboarding for people who rip and push the discipline to new heights.
I'm very stoked overall on the new, more inclusive and welcoming direction skateboarding has been going for some time now. Sorry for the rant lol.

Fuck Chima and his continued association with known rapist Colin Evans. There is no doubt in anyone's mind in the Sydney and Melbourne skate scenes that he has sexually assaulted multiple women. I find it so performative that magazines like Slam and Free have pages dedicated to the importance of consent but then have no hesitation in tagging him in footage he filmed for Chima's new part. Everything luredbyproskaters posted regarding Colin doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of the stuff this pathetic excuse for a human being has done. Chima should be forced to address this and explain why he continues to skate and film with Colin.

Chima SOTY. His skills are undeniable. Big. Tech. Smooth
I expected to come here and see everyone trashing the music, I get it's subjective but to me that was the worst skate video soundtrack of all time probably, it had no flow whatsoever. Some great skating overall and a good video on mute.

that was a rough video to watch. first and last were good and isolate the ET and Dustin footy for a middle montage. the ozzie dude who skates like Massimo is tight too.

Throughout the whole video all I was thinking about was how sick Nick Michel’s part was. Like goddamn that was a perfect part. Frog better hold on tight cus this dudes a shoe in for Baker or Krooked. Chosen one for sure.

I still don't get why people have comments like this. Remember when Jack O'Grady was going to go to Anti Hero? ::)
Thought the video was solid. Some head scratching decisions in terms of editing. Really enjoyed the Nick Michel part, but was confused with the two weird close ups of the spots before it switched to the trick, and thought some tricks could've benefited with a long lense angle as opposed a fisheye, and vice versa. Is this the first time Daniel Dent has used a HD camera?
Enjoyed Diego, Dustin & ET. Breana had a few ABD's. Surprised we didn't see Glick pop up. I don't think Greg Hunt has that touch anymore, I could see what he was trying to do with the Chima part with those two songs, but I don't think it quite clicked. Phenomenal skating from Chima regardless.

Everyone should be acquainted with Simon Zuzic. Such a sick skater with a very unique bag of tricks. Reminds me of Gino.

history repeats itself. I think a Chima SOTY would hold up better in retrospect than Kyle Walker's, his lifetime body of work is unfuckwithable

That probably has more to do with Alex Olson than anything else. He didn't really do shit for Vans when he lived locally so surely he wouldn't do much if he lived across the country. And in the grand scheme of things that turned out to be mostly true.

Nick's opening part got me so hyped. Song, spot, and trick selection right on the money. Definitely one of my favourite parts I've seen in a while
-
Nick and Chima both had incredible parts, i also enjoyed Breezy & Dustin.
It was refreshing to see some street stuff out of Ronnie.
Rad that Ronnie used Timber Timbre, they have 5 really good albums!
Loved the edit with Dusty Springfield in Chima's part, Half Japanese, as well as Sunny Day Real Estate in Nick's.
Daiki has great trick selection and style.
Great Vans video production as always with them.
What shoe was Justin Henry skating in his clips? The Black Dime Wayvee?

I watched chima first and loved it…started the full thing, Nick guy killed it, the next section didn’t hold my attention so I skipped to Ronnie, he’s not my speed but killed it. Probably watching Dustin henry then calling it.

Nick Michels sisters trick was better than Chima whole part
-
Jackie’s clip was great
-
Rewatching Ronnie's part and loving it so much. I've always been a big fan of his skating, but this really felt like a standout part for him.
"YOU CAN CRY IT'S OKAY!"

Ronnies lsd part was loads better. I haven’t liked anything he’s put out with vans at all. Crazy tricks n all but not as fun to watch for me

Justin Henry's fits made me mad

LMAO when breezeys board bounced back and hit her. i wonder how often that happens to skaters off camera. I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY MCRANK WONT JUST COME OUT ABOUT HER BEING HIS DAUGHTER.
wut
Haha. His actual daughter looks like she could definitely be her sister, but Breana has an identical twin sister who now skates too. She's regular foot though. I've seen someone fan out on her thinking it was Breana, which she probably gets a lot now that she's skateboarding.
-
Just my 2 cents:
1. I have the feeling the more a skater is appealing to a younger crowd the more zoom in and out shit you have. e.g. it was used a lot in the dustin henry part but not in chimas part. Could also depend on the filmer.
2. I love Chima. i was really sad watching this part. With the music and all it seemed like this was his last great part he wanted to do. I really hope i am wrong and we will get more of him in the future.
3.i really liked chimas first line. Skateing over those benches looked like nothing for him. I bet i couldnt even ollie over them.
4. As i mentioned before, i love Chima but the music was just to heavy for me. The edit of his part was a little try hard.
I don't know iam pretty drunk and i will probably eat my words tomorrow.

Notis Aggelis has a solid pop out of smith grinds. The one he did into a wallride off the tree was sick. Breana Geering getting clap back at by her board was hilarious. Stoked to finally see the footy for her Thrasher cover trick. Skating all around in this was insane.

that was a rough video to watch. first and last were good and isolate the ET and Dustin footy for a middle montage. the ozzie dude who skates like Massimo is tight too.
Everyone should be acquainted with Simon Zuzic. Such a sick skater with a very unique bag of tricks. Reminds me of Gino.

I see what you mean with the Gino a bit but the similarity to Massimo Cavedoni is unreal. Those knees are almost touching and it looks too good.

Can’t get enough of Nick Michel’s nonchalant gnar

No Fabi clip? Thought she'd have one in Breanna or Pedro section.

He may have another huge part up his sleeve. I mean sure he's what 32 but I don't think that's an issue these days. He's clearly still so springy and elastic (shout out Roald Dahl) - has a body built for skateboarding really - that he could film another good part for sure.
-
I’ve been seeing a lot of complaints about spoilers. If you don’t want spoilers get off of Instagram. Straight up been enjoying skateboarding/videos in general so much more since I got rid of that shit. It gets frustrating sitting through a whole video with some friends and some bananas ender comes up and they’re like “oh I saw this on the gram that’s crazy” while I’m sitting there with my mind blown. Wack lol. Get of my lawn.

Justin Henry's fits made me mad
Untuck your shit Justin. Looks like he has a wedgie
-
I feel bad for chima. Career pinnacle part and he gets put in with the hipsters, B team, and like 1-2 other decent people (Nick and Dustin). Pedro delfino killed it too but his section was short
-
Nick and Dustin are legends in the making. Japan crew deserve more recognition. And Chima... what a standout. The whole part was fucked and really well put together.

Boggles my mind that he's the dude a lot of people praise for his fashion choices. When he popped on the screen in this I literally lol'd. Buddy looks like a victim of mom trying to work with your skate clothes when she dresses you for a family gathering.
-
Justin normal kills it with the fits but that shorts and dark shoes one was not it. He’s still the best.
I’ve spent days listening to songs thinking “if only Chima used this”. Seriously bummed on his music. Can somebody smart do a re-edit to different music please? Thanks
I was hella stoked on the Aussie section. Digby is unbelievably good.
Can’t wait for the rough edits from this..
-
ET has the best style of the new guys, he does 90s baggys in right way....the others are just weird
-
New vert parts nowadays: Girls parts in midle of high level skate.
Cancel me again.
-
GOD DAMN THAT BACK THREE WAS AMAZING
-
The zoom in and and out frog music said call it ya know 90’s Whiney grunge is really taking off, I dunno about this one, Chimas part rules perhaps a little too epic on the edit, but anyone else feel skatings going back as long as you film there face and feet?
-
Digby is also a new gen style lord
-
Plus there’s so many 50-50s noseslides on curbs like is this rad now? I could show this to cunts at a dive bar that could pull of a shitty boneless or a curb high 5050 hubba I guess it’s in and the children are wrong

What shoe was Justin Henry skating in his clips? The Black Dime Wayvee?
i think it's his wayvee colorway.
(https://images.skatestore.com/vans/vans-wayvee-justin-henry-coffeebean-1.jpg)
Woah it def is, wonder when that comes out. He makes it look amazing as well as it just does imo
Reminds me of Dylan’s first black leather Huf Shoe
-
Daiki Hoshino reminds me of a better and faster Sean Pablo
-
An epic part deserves an epic song. A+ Chima
-
One of the most enjoyable videos ive seen in a while.

I know this is controversial but I agree with you and liked Justin way more before he was pro. I thought his Grand Prairie part was good but didn’t seem as original as his stuff prior and his fits are getting pretty bad. Shorts, tucked in shirt, and beanie is a big no. That’s something my Dad would wear and trust me that is not a compliment.
-
Chima is a beast. damn.

Dustin Henry has gone off this year! The Alltimers vid and this. Man is a SOTY contender. Let's give a cutie the crown.

Sure, I see it too. Well a mix of Massimo and Gino certainly ain't bad.

First time hearing of Alexey Krasniy, call me a fan.
Me too, sleeper part for sure.

no offense but what gives with putting a skatepark as the cover photo for this

They should have used a still of the ender like other videos do.

I wasn’t so crazy about how sprawling this edit felt. Diego Todd and Nick Michael sort of got lost in the montage. Chima came through like psycho though, and his music was so cool. He has a sort of Reynolds in how he postures and hucks.
I guess I prefer Greg Hunt Vans offerings.

Umm, Nick had the opener, wasn’t in a montage.
This is a Greg Hunt production. They used a lot of contributors, like they usually do, but it was still spearheaded by Greg.

How many others skaters were in his part? It felt really all over the place and watered down to me. But whatever.

It’s true. I’m old and this new Vans offering was definitely not my thing (except Chima’s part). Hoping to see a full Diego part soon.

There was literally one clip of someone else in his part and it was his sister. His last name is also Michel, which was in big bold letters at the start of his part. Time to get your eyes checked gramps.

Actually you’re right. And I am a grampzzz. His part is just him and his sister. The montage afterwards I thought was also his part and that’s why I was so disappointment in the editing. You win this round, kid.

Hey - no shame in being old, I’m right there with ya (44). I only liked a couple parts of this whole video myself, Chima being the obvious highlight. Dustin was sick too, and Digby. Nick is sick but not really my style, I prefer more classic ledge/tech guys.

the name of this video reminds me of vans' 2003 "pleased to meet you" tour that had a pretty stacked team at the time as well: AA, van wastell, jlay, scott kane, cardiel, cab, rowley, dollin, greco, tnt...

This Simon Zuzic guy had some fantastic tricks and all clean as hell, loved it, but did anyone notice how close his feet are together when he pops things? Go back and watch it again if you have to lol it honestly threw me off

Isn't that the charm about his skating and the first thing everything he notices? That and him turning completely before he pops. It's insanely unique. I'd never heard of him until the Pass~Port video, and have now watched everything of his. His part in Heavy Mayo is wonderful -

Haha that’s weird. What a strange little connection.
Well then, can’t wait for Vans’ 2040 video “Charmed to Know You”

Levi’s skateboarding needs to hook up Dustin
Can you imagine the signature line?
Canadian tux god c’mon
edit: McCrank clip is tough holy shit

I rewatch Chima's part so many times now. I think it might be my all time favourite.
-
That Sunny Day Real Estate song trips me out. I love it but the whole resurgence of 90s emo in skate videos over the past few years confuses me. Do the younger skaters in these vids actually listen to that stuff? Or is it jammed in by some older editor who wants to indulge some nostalgia? I guess I just assume that was some niche shit that Old Millenials liked, because I never hear it in the streets, at the skatepark, out of cars, at bars, etc.

Yes why is this so hard to fathom. The music's still good. SDRE isn't like a secret band

sorry to revive this but i was watching nicks part today and i realized he is almost indistinguishable from louie lol

Sunny day real estate song so good with one of my favorite skaters too - I rewatch his part constantly.
