I have a feeling this might be 4x3 HD, I hope so! And will the green ever go away? I kinda like it, stands out still and you instantly know you're watching an Emerica video.

It comes out next month and will be HD. No, the green will never go away. It's a major part of the brand identity.

Yeah, a bit of an exaggeration by me. Just the recent history of these videos has been really boring, whatever royalty-free music. Music can make or break a video IMO, so would love to see a brand shell out a bit more for some good stuff. It's like they put in all this hard work, then trip at the finish line (and yes I understand good music costs a lot, and is probably out of budget, but a boy can dream).

i’ve had this theory that if emerica/krooked don’t do something with him (jordan powell) then he’ll end up on new balance/primitive. get the introduction to both teams (maybe not fully on new balance but a part for primitive), he’ll be hyped up for a few minutes and then they’ll put him on the back burner and everyone will be like “what happened to that dude he was sick!” i hope that doesn’t happen as i love his skating but still. could definitely see that happening.

Chris and I have been filming a part for the last year and will be out in just a couple months in our following video project.

i’ve had this theory that if emerica/krooked don’t do something with him (jordan powell) then he’ll end up on new balance/primitive. get the introduction to both teams (maybe not fully on new balance but a part for primitive), he’ll be hyped up for a few minutes and then they’ll put him on the back burner and everyone will be like “what happened to that dude he was sick!” i hope that doesn’t happen as i love his skating but still. could definitely see that happening.
We love Jordan and he's got something coming out soon along with a few other new kids.

Hoping for a new Leo part above all else. Not that I’m complaining, his current footage output is just right.
Leo along with the rest of the riders will have some clips in This and will be having a full part drop next year that he's been working on nonstop.

@EmericaTM how much of this would you say is your work?
I've filmed quite a bit of it since we started filming for it right around the time we wrapped up the filming for Green. Obviously, I have nothing on the editing side of it but still beyond stoked to have been able to film a good amount of it.

hey, emerica tm, what level of responsibility do you feel platforming figgy after the sexual assault allegations and his tepid acknowledgment of them? did you guys talk about his responsibilities to keep people safe? does he feel remorse? have you been holding him in any way accountable, and if not, do you feel any sort of guilt giving him a wider audience to continue to potentially take advantage of?

'No, Let's do This....'

'Sorry Transworld already called a video that.'

'No this!'

'This Time Tomorrow?'

the video was great. very classically Emerica. Starts out with a retrospective of sorts with Figgy and Colin, then goes into a team montage which had solid clips from everyone (including Jordan Powell and Braden Hoban). Spanky had a mini part with no music and his ender got one of the biggest cheers at the premiere. Figgy and Colin share a rad part full of everything you'd expect (in a good way). I enjoyed the music, which had very Emerica vibes, but I always enjoy the music they use in videos. Around 15 minutes long and should get people stoked to skate.

Steve, thank you so much for the kind words I really appreciate it. Unfortunately, we won’t be making DVD’s this time.

i was looking forward to a ‘green’ type video with 2 parts and other peoples footage in between, kind of a bummer to hear it’s a shared part but i know it’s still gonna be a good watch.

It’s not the typical shared part as it’s edited a little bit differently. The video is 18 minutes (same length as Green) and between the intro of the video and their multi song “shared part” the video is mostly Collin and Figgy so they each have a ton of footage.

honestly glad to hear Figgy and Provost had full/normal parts.

Was worried we were headed  for a double "of" thread.

video is good. they took the pressure flips to new bounds. spanky sw fs slappy may be best trick in the video. edited well. both of them really do kill it and skate a lot of the same spots, has a good feel to it. figgy does a trick and you think it’s over then like 2 more minutes of ripping. the way collin skates those mini bumps is remarkable. figgy stays not cross locking taking huge slams and actually gets pretty tech. it’s kinda like kyle walkers last part where you know how gnarly they are but then these manuals start going that you didn’t expect. good video will watch again.

Agreed. I like Green a lot more for this reason. Individually, Provost and Figgy are super gnarly though. Still enjoyed the video.

Figgy's nosegrind slam was fucked! I'm surprised he didn't break a wrist, he had so much momentum and just stopped on a dime, off that curb too.

Not a big fan of Colin's skating

Dixon's front crook to fakie might be the only time I've ever thought that trick looked good (on a bank to ledge/rail)

The first five minutes with the sludge intro that went nowhere fucking sucked

Figgy keeps reminding us that he's one of the best to ever do it.  the manuals were on point. underrated IMO

Collin is talented but so boring it's laughable.  how many ollies and Wallie 50s can someone film and think it's ok?

Leo Romero...hasn't changed..ever.  The dude is stuck in 2009

overall great skating, editing, filming but the aesthetic and the droning garage rock is just tired man.

Thought it was gonna be more a showcase of the team but I really enjoyed it for what it was. Classic Emerica executed perfectly. Figgy is such a beast and Collin, despite the criticism regarding his predictability, often surprises me with his trick selection. The team montage was cool too. Spanky continues to baffle me with the wallrides and ledge shit he can pull off; and it was refreshing to see some of the newer guys on the team. I'm gonna go skate now because this got me psyched.

That was pretty fackin heavy/sick, I'm stoked to have Minor back at Emerica. I thought the filming was great as usual at Emerica. I'm not one for heavy metal but I thought those songs worked well with the edit and I'm sure that was what Figgy & Colin wanted.

I really enjoyed seeing a bunch of new/non traditional Figgy skating, I especially loved his manual stuff!

I'm not the Provost type, but to each their own.

I'm also not the late shuv type but really liked the intro/montage beyond that.

Always stoked for an Emerica offering regardless, but esp with Minor at the helm!

Just watched the video. I had a headache so the intro didn’t help but nevermind. The filming and the editing are on point. Looked like « classic » Emerica. It looks like 2003 but with the visual quality of 2021. I started to feel nostalgic.

The big downside to me was the soundtrack, I get the whole « stoner » vibe but it was a little too much for me. I discovered so many music through music videos and i miss the days of « classic songs » in skate videos but we know it’s hard now to clear rights…

Not a fan of Provost’s and Figgy’s respective styles, not saying they are not talented or whatever but I prefer Jon Dickson way more.

And I wish there was more footage from the guys I grew
up watching (Romero, Spanky…) but they’re getting older, so I am. That said, Spanky wallride game is amazing.

Jordan Powell’s sw fs flip was amazing, maybe my favorite clip in the whole thing.

spanky was like a fish out of water in that thing. he is def on one tho. last switch slap was craze.

clearly not my thing, as emerica was never my thing but i enjoyed my one viewing. was gonna go cruise a bit, now after watching that, not so sure now.

I’ve got a soft spot for Spanky, but he hasn’t really been at “pro” level skating (yeah I know it’s subjective) for a long as time. He does the same shit with slight variations and the tricks aren’t impressive at because they so often seem to involved switch front 180s which are not the toughest. His style is kind of shit too.

I fucking love Figgy's skating so much. I know some people think he has an awkward/hunched style, but I think he looks great on a board and he still absolutely crushes shit. I can't imagine holding onto a fs smith on a kinked rail like that.

Go rewatch his Baker 3 part. It’s the perfect mix of new and old Spanky. There’s a lot of tricks in that part (dark slides, pole jams, reverts out of bank slides/grinds) that all became popular in skating after that part.

I am an old skater growing up in the 90s when wallrides were illegal, and stopped skating before they became fashionable again. I skate again since 2020 and was baffled by how many wallrides were featured in modern skateparts. I find them fascinating because I don‘t have the faintest idea how to do them. On a related note I saw two younger (late 20s) dudes yesterday practicing no complys, another sight I have to get used to. If you were doing them in the 90s you were an eccentric outsider.

One of the older guys in my crew said spanky footage is an acquired taste, I think that’s true in a sense, younger skaters won’t really pay attention to his part because he’s not doing big obstacles and flip tricks. Personally I think his skating is relaxing to watch, and I like that he wallies everything in his path  :D

From the few times I attempted one, you basically Ollie into something instead of over something and angle you nose so it slides up. At least that’s what I did, probably have it completely backwards

I wish Emerica would move away from this prog rock hesh sound.

The green tint affords enough of a cohesive identity not to have to drench it all in what ends up sounding like the same fucking song every fucking time.

there is nothing to set these emerica parts apart from each other, which doesn't help since all these guys already have a sort of predictable trick selection.

having said that, I actually liked provost' tricks in this and didn't mind the shared part with fiffy. In a weird way his skating reminded me of suski, just with less flavour.

Spanky's best part was in this is skateboarding.
[close]
He was one of the best at that type of skating (making rails gaps looks effortless and graceful) at that time during TIS but I prefer modern day spanky. Feels like an expression of who he is rather than just doing what everyone is doing however well he did it.

You forgot to quote "I Think but I totally get you. I just prefer that part as a whole. The skating, the music and the editing made it timeless. His baker 3 part was great too. I like rail and gap skating though but I gotta admit Spankys last trick in This was the best trick in the video.

So good. Seeing Figgy smile after eating shit, face first on the handrail nose grind kind of won my heart a little bit. Plus he really came through with this part. Colin as well with the impossible.
Spanky and Jon Dickson had my favorite clips, although that may be because there's less music in their section. The switch fs flip by the new kid Jordan was fucking insane. I wasn't into the soundtrack at all but I get that they're going for something. Well done, Emerica.

The nu-stoner/doom soundtrack is a thing that makes me wanna vert-button any skate movie, but powered through as the edit and skating was otherwise great.

Spankys wallride line and switch slappy were very sick, as was Dashawns EDIT: Jordan Powells ss frontside slip, that flip back smith, back smith flip line that was mentioned was awesome too. Leo had a huge noseslide TM ad in Thrasher, but the footage wasn't in this yet if I remember correctly.

Also, there is something warming to see Toy Machine/Foundation boards in Emerica videos.

Real good video, always fucking love what Emerica puts out and Miner smashed it with this one. @EmericaTM please make sure Jordan Powell has a full part in your next video!

To throw my hat in the mix I'd say Spanly's best part was Made 2, I agree that nothing after TIS matched that part, until Made when he completely surprised me.

Shit, I don’t know man… there was some stand out clips in the montage, but I feel like I’ve seen this already a dozen of times before. Soundtrack was pretty shit too, and I like heavy music. They just always pick the most uninspired/boring “desert rock/stoner” bullshit, what a snooze fest.
Emerica videos have been looking and sounding the same for over a decade. Can’t Emerica just try something new?! Like, for once?!


...That being said, Jordan Powell’s line with the sw fs flip was a thing of beauty. That tweak was bonkers.  :o

It was that yellow triple kink rail that Tre Williams grinded and Cole Wilson feebled. It was our second time back and Figgy was just warming up hopping on some grinds. Beagle and myself were in the middle of setting up and then on one try Fig just locked in weird and ended up rib racking it so hard that his spine actually punctured his intestines.

If a machine-learning algorithm analyzed every Emerica vid since Stay Gold, it might've come up with this exact soundtrack.

The skating was good. Great, even. And yet, 2 maybe 3 clips were memorable to me.

Maybe it's time for me to try and actually work during the day instead of watching clips on Slap, chasing a high that never fully satisfies. I guess i'm 00 days sober.

"when it goes above knee-high, it's not a slappy anymore, it's a Spanky"

Gary hit that one on the nose, shits so true. It's crazy because that kind of skating has become a lot more common these days but Spanky's skating still stands out, seems to quite literally rise above the others. The dude's already had a great career hucking and now he's reinvented himself, skating in a unique way that  fits his style and differentiates him from the pack. Simply inspirational.

I'm late to the discussion and seems everything's been just about said but great vid over all. Jordan, Figgy, and Spanky definitely all stood out. Collin had some great clips too but he does a lot of similar things (fly outs, not to say they don't look sick or fun, that fly out to tailslide at the beginning was insane.). Might have been why it was a duet style part to visually diversify things. Dickson's clips we're pretty epic, just wanted more of them.

Music was ok but I agree they could have used some diversity there too. Most likely the skaters had some say over it since we know these guys are into that kind of stuff. Wish there was some twinklely post rock or shoe gazey stuff instead of all stoner metal. Spanky should have called in a favor from Mogwai or Animal Collective for his part just to refresh the aural palette.

I get what they were going for with Figgy and Provost being longtime friends and all, but ugh, why couldn’t they have separate parts? “This” wasn’t bad, but I just don’t see myself returning it that often like I do with “Green.”

Id rather watch TJ Rogers than anyone on Emerica, Sorry EmericaTM!
I love TJ also.  But damn dude,  Jon Dickson is worthy of watching on Emerica.  His part in the "Green" video is a repeat watch for me.
