Soo glad most of us are agreeing on this. i remember loving the maple videos, the bag of suck was literally the most creative video ever made by an independent skate co. not some flashy high budget production. Jerry, Louie, and Caswell, and the friends section is amazing, but to this day ive never seen such creative and innovative doubles, triples skating in unison in the one section they had at the park when louie did all the crazy tricks with a million pennies glued on the bottom of his board...
i cant believe how many people cant appreciate newer stuff, i mean i love me some old ray barbee,guerrero, natas, stranger, but anyone who believes these legends dont have skaters nowadays that equally compare and compete with them in terms of everything are clueless (it's just like people who say All music sucks nowadays/ or i hate the remake of this movie because i love the old one); the problem is, these people dont give things a chance (paying more attention to the time period CMON GUYS EVERYONE KNOWS THE CLASSICS BY NOW, who the fuck cares if you love carroll's modus part WHO THE FUCK DOESNT? (marc Johnson just came out with his best part ever, so that proves that point. its been mentioned forever on these threads. lets look at the guys who have been inspired by them, and see who stands up.
WHy is there so many wannabe trendy suckers in skating, deliberately only posting old "classic" stuff as their "favorite parts". However, im glad someof us people share the same topical opinions... Gravette's new creature part along with AND NOW part made me look at him as the gonz of high impact skating, and dude seems like one of the most down to earth guys in the game, including jerry.
Daniel Espinoza's bangin to this day, might be one of the most insane performances on a skateboard ive seen.
cant leave out PJ's whl (was my favorite in middle school, but truthfully i liked gallant's part just as much), and now since then i look at PJ as boring as prod nowadays, just super slow skating, very very non-individualistic style, i loved seeing him get pissed at nyberg during their berrics game, and thought it was really a gump ass move when he said in the interview he was embarassed to do the guy's tricks.
Well fuck PJ, Im embarassed everytime i watch you roll five miles an hr in every berrics game, not missing any of the basics, sloppily making the harder ones, and almost everytime the dude hes playing has style miles above his flat ground steeze, but he always wins so whatre you gonna do. I loved it when Morgan Smith, a nobody at the time came in and SKUNKED him for the championship berrics
Justin Brock has a part in a NC video called Carolina Love, right before he blew up (It's Still his Best PART IMO). If most of you saw it, youd be surprised, dude skated completely different spots back then, going balls to the wall, i grew up skating in NC with him and i thought for sure he'd become the next Cole or Reynolds (he's gettin there though, just seems like hes goin the old man tranny route moreso laltely/ CHeck out Brock in 2005 how hard this motherfucker goes to two perfect pixies songs..
james tupper who made this video.the editing is the best ive seen in a skate video, and it's local...(like pyramid country doesnt have shit (in terms of creativity and music selection originality/ (along with picking some weird indie electro like pyramid, he ALSO uses a plethora of old unheard of bands, unsigned bands, Tasteful classic rock. If any respectable skate business needed one of the most creative editors, leagues ahead of what i see in mainstream skating, that's the dude youll think of after watching th vid
BTW TRAPASSO"S PREVENT this TRAGEDY was his best part, it equates to the perfection of my no.1 pick jerrys BOS/ Incredible music selection that would only work with his skating, and some of the best variety and style ona board/ might be his last really good part.
Anybody leaving out marc and cory's pretty sweet are fucking fruit salads also
