Hell yeah. That soty I bet. I hope.

Also that reminds me of Witches of Eastwick.

Sone of that movie was filmed in my home town when I was a baby.

They filmed in Abbot Hall. That’s where the sprit of 76 painting is.

There’s a fun skate spot right near there. Like a few.

I really want tfunk to win since it’d be sick to have a guy with no official shoe sponsor to get it. But Louie’s been deserving for while now so I won’t be mad if he takes jt.

Stating the obvious but this kid is the truth.  Saw a clip he got here in Minneapolis and my mind was blown.  Can't wait for this part and a few more to drop before the end of the year.  SOTY

The little kid who was doing hypertech slide combos on ledges in the flip days is now still doing tricks like boardslide Nollie flip out, except they look fucking awesome (pun intended). Loved that part. Love a good straight nollie down stairs/gaps so that line was a treat.

quickly entering the ranks of Best Shorts Skaters with Puig

i've never been there so maybe it's wider than it seems but frontside flip while riding on top of the ledge at USC in the line before the switch back heel is crazy. hairy maneuver to be doing any flatground trick up there on that seemingly pretty thin ledge while hauling ass let alone one where you're rotating like a fs flip.

blunt hardflip pop out in the middle of the ledge also stood out. lots of great skating in here. Louie footy is always a treat

Video game licensing for the song kind of confused me. Don't know what that's about.

Lots of exceptional ledge tricks as well. Yeah he'll probably be soty.

Yeah on some level skating’s a business, and Louie’s next, like Suciu was.  Louie’s got the sponsors and the pedigree to do it. 

The china banks documentary did feel like a fucking sick consolation prize for TFunk, only because you’d think they’d wait to tell that story later if he might actually win.  Have to imagine the key decision makers are aware of who has how much footage, and how good it is by this point in the year.  Not saying TFunk wont make a push but he doesnt have the resources LL has, so he’s the underdog for sure

I know you’re speaking in broader terms here, but tell me exactly where the resource gap is between Louie and T-Funk thus far this year? One guy put out a part with an ender that was a key focus of a 30 minute documentary, and the other guy put out a part that was filmed by his best friend at a spot that’s like 15 minutes from his house.

Really is a shame Flip couldn’t capitalize on how gnarly dude is. They really scouted him from a child just to fumble the bag once he started to hit his stride.

I know we’ve said this for the past 5 years but this is really gonna be his year.

Is he too young to be considered a legend? He's just so damn good, and makes it all look effortless in a way that isn't boring.

Really mind-blowing that this was all filmed in 2 weeks...
Title: Re: Louie Lopez Spitfire Part **Monday 8/8
Post by: Mallie on August 08, 2022, 12:09:38 PM
If someone motion captured his skating from this video and showed me the 3D simulation, I'd probably say it wasn't realistic enough, airs on ollies were too floaty, everything was too stomped and bolts...

He's toeing the line of being so good it becomes sterile. I guess its him hauling ass as much as he does that separates him from some robo-skaters.

I have a theory about these guys that put out a string of parts.

Wheels/ grip/ truck / bearings . Least priority
Board / clothing- mid priority
Shoes / energy drink - highest priority.

Essentially the sponsors paying big bucks get the big drops. 

I think this will be his “weakest” part of the year. Also considering he filmed it over 2 weeks. Which is insane.

I feel dumb calling this weak.

In my opinion, he has been around long enough and put out enough parts to be in the legend/goat conversation.

The 20-second lines that were easier than light work for mark, Mark trying to get into "bigger" rail skating ended up feeling boring and low effort most of the time.

He could've easily won soty with 2 really good parts instead of releasing 4 that had a lot of low-effort skating (for mark) and felt like it was done only with soty in mind.

Not saying they were bad parts just most felt kinda "meh" a lot of the time

Louie’s skating is the cream of the crop for me . He deserves to be in the conversation with ishod , busenitz , etc. as one of the best to ever do it .

Really enjoyed that part . 2 weeks?! Jeeze .

That boardslide wall ride was sick !

Should we be comparing it to a normal part? Filming 3 minutes on one college campus in the space of two weeks feels like a very different challenge. He's obviously sitting on a lot of Cons footage for a 'real' part.

Post by: Koja510 on August 08, 2022, 02:39:26 PM
There’s a world where Louie doesn’t end up in the FA camp.  I’m happy this is the way it is.  He’s up there with Ishod and Grant as far as looking so god damn natural on the board.  Louie is all time.

Not my favorite song though.  It felt like the fastest 3 minute part ever, he’s that good.  Editing was a little rushed.  You would have a hard time finding anyone else for SOTY.  It’s all just so right and so good

So a lot of subjectivity there and ignoring that Mark himself stated that he wanted parts that showed more of his skating abilities and types of terrain. Got it.

Louie's first line was a 180, sw 180, then a nollie. That seems pretty low effort for him.

Ridiculous?

Anyone who releases 4 parts in 1 month at the end of the year with a different type of skating sprinkled in it's pretty safe to say they did it for soty.

Post by: lydius on August 08, 2022, 04:13:20 PM
he's good but this is definitely warmup throwaway clips for the most part

agree with what someone else said, he's so good it's on the verge of being sterile (like glazing over watching a Shane part)

also the music is totally a disservice to him. strange choice.

and this is being super petty but I don't like seeing HPX clips filmed with too low a shutter speed and with OIS off. I know, I know, Goldilocks over here. that being said, his Purple and Seize the Seconds parts are instant classics. I'm sure the next Cons part will also be edited a little more thoughtfully than this.

I liked it a lot.

The editing/music paired with LL's speed reminded me of watching an old crime or western series where the good guy rushes in shoots people left and right in style and solves any problem easily (kinda like Louie does it with spots).

Why is nobody talking about the 50-50 nosebonk 360 thing?

Louie is not at all sterile. He’s THAT good yes but you can’t predict what he’ll do, he pops shit and has that GOAT float on his tricks that defies gravity.

Though if he was still on flip and not a coolguy company I’m sure many more on slap would call him sterile lol

Definitely feel like there was some fingerprints on this from Benny. The song in particular.  No offence to Ryan Lee, who I think has become a solid editer in his own right.

I agree!

I don't want to be a hater, but I really don't understand the hype about Louie Lopez, in my opinion he rarely comes with a mind-blowing trick and in my opinion he does not brings anything new to the table, everything he does we all already see before some other dude doing it.

The bs flip over the dumpster and some other tricks were kinda cool, but nothing really mind-blowing.

Louie rips, Mark rips, if he sucked people wouldn't bring his name up in every thread.

Noseslide nollie flip 270 on the curved bench was my favorite trick in this. The ender was also great.

Been thinking for a while skate parts have to kinda change a little bit a maybe be a little shorter and what a skater can actually do not spend a month on one trick.
Only two weeks for all this? Fuck maybe it's just too easy


How's that frontside flip at 2:10 maybe just dethroned satva as king didit flip

I am not a liar, I just confused the bs flip over the dumpster was from another video from Louie someone posted on this thread.

From the new video I enjoyed the bs lipslide varial heelflip out.

Maybe the problem is in me because maybe he isn't the kind of skating I really enjoy to watch, once again, I don't want to be a hater, I just don't see the hype. ( SOTY contender, no way in my opinion )

I believe Mark over you. He wanted to show that he wasn't just a ledge dancer and did it. They weren't 20 stair rails or some shit, they were slightly bigger than he had done consistently before. Him wanting to go for SOTY isn't worse than Mason, or Louie, or many others you just don't seem to like the guy. It's not like he said "to win SOTY I gotta put out a part with obscure crusty spots" he had already posted hundreds of clips on his IG skating such spots and wanted to include more of it in his parts than his typical.

Ryan Lee edited that Lola part too. I think he's maybe the disco head?

You're right about the similarities to the Philip Glass 84 Olympics music piece though. Concorde was written specifically as a theme song for the Air France Concorde which was new at the time of the song's release in 75. High profile jingles for forgotten products repurposed for skate parts.

I re-watched and retract my prior statement. I didn't see him duck under the bar before kickflipping that set, missed at trick on the curved ledge, and missed 2 tricks on the ledges AVE used to skate.

Probably alluding that it's straight A tricks at the campus so it's honor roll. And yes all in one campus in two weeks. Dude just has it like that

Would have liked to see more roll-away on certain clips, that’s my only critique. Skating was unfuckwitable. Though I could see what people are saying about the clips seeming like warm ups or just a glimpse of what’s to come which is a good thing. And two weeks?! Come on.

Yeah you are somehow right - but not many human beings on planet earth doing it as good looking, clean and fast then LL.
Nothing in that part was wack - everything was stylish.
Ok not much super mega impressive NBD or Bangers.
But I prefer a fast and clean, stylish line with classics before everything else.

For me he is the new generation Kenny Anderson, stylish & tech & fast & good looking on the board.

And please keep in mind this is 3 min "throwaway" footage for a Wheel sponsor filmed in 2 weeks skating
at the USC campus.
Best tricks will be stacked or FA / Converse later this year.

I enjoy it - and really woud like to skate USC like this.

8 is a lucky number in Chinese culture, so maybe the industry loves Lou and that’s all??

This was a great part. I like the song, but I don’t think it fits his skating. Maybe someone more sporadic or unpredictable...

Pros: He’s so smooth! It’s unreal. The opening line was too good and his switch back heel was perfect. The way his feet didn’t seem to adjust on the last casual wallride he threw during the credits, sheesh!

Everything was filmed in or around USC. Half of the spots are actually across the street at the museum complex so not *technically* USC but thats a pretty minor nit to pick.

Bumping this because I was hiking in the woods for the last week. Louie’s talent is so far beyond anybody else on the FA/Hockey squad it’s almost embarrassing. He makes everyone else seem very lackluster. Except for like Vincent Touzery.

i'm not really disagreeing here, i just don't know how poeple see vincent touzery in the same tier as a ll/ishod. like he's really good, but i'll just say it, just doesn't have that athleticism and easyness that louie and ishod have. touz looks to me like he really works for his tricks(which to me is a good thing).

you are totally entitled to your opinion of course, i'm not even really disagreeing. i always thought touz is well liked for the overall package. good fits, good trick selection, ok style(don't like the hunchback thing personally but it's still ok), skates in french, etc... never saw him in that so talented it's not even funny realm.

Vincent just seems like a traditionally good skater, which I really like. No flashy or zany tricks or fits, just good tricks performed with excellent style. I wouldn’t put him in the same realm of skill as LL or Ishod but his style and trick selection is top tier. There are some other good skaters on the squad but like 75% of them are too cool or too gimmicky or both. Louie just skates circles around the rest of them and it’s painfully obvious.
