how the fuck you put that much thought and effort into a part whilst simultaneously premiering it without an ender
im lost
Wait there wasn't an ender?
It definitely had an ender.
But it seems like he postponed the online date in hopes of getting an ender ender.
Basically a clip that would fit best in this part , as opposed to waiting to include it in his next part.
Admirable.
Is it?
With his parts having a lot insane tricks in the middle of the part and his general ability to do a lot of nbd type tricks I think I might agree cause so many people drop insane stuff to be one upped the next week these days but the fact that he’s willing to delay a part to really perfect what he thinks is the best example of his skating right now instead of just dropping a part to keep up with flow of things is kinda admirable. He seems like the type of guy who respects the past of skating and tries to portray that in his skating where a lot of people are just trying to keep up and drop footage within hours of getting a trick to remain relevant .
Sure I agree with the philosophy and intention behind it but why premiere the incomplete part at all then? If he was so confident that he’d get the trick between the time the part was finished being edited (save that one trick) and its release online, why not wait until the complete part was done? He said himself in his Thrasher interview that he was working on this part for a while and that he already missed the deadline for it to be the promo for his second shoe (it’s crazy that he views that part as pretty throwaway footage) so really the deadline and pressure were self-imposed. So why not wait the few weeks to do the ender and fully cap off this project he clearly put a lot of thought into? It just doesn’t make much sense. I wouldn’t care if he hadn’t been so explicit on how considered every other detail of the part was, but he was so it just seems odd to me.
He prolly just didn’t anticipate not getting the last trick he wanted and said to himself, the part is done and ready, even tho he didn’t make that trick. And now that’s he’s been to premiers for his part and probably watched it himself 100 times, he’s thinking, man if I could just get that ender trick this will be my fucking part of a lifetime.
He prolly watches the part and every single time thinks, this would be allll the better if I got that last trick. And why not give himself an extra week since it hasn’t hit the internet?
We are all just humans doing the best we can. Rules can be lame as fuck. What rule says you can’t adjust you can’t tweak your video part after its premiered? Do what your heart and mind want you to do(within legal reason).
Live the human experience.
