Park footage doesn't count...it's that simple. Unless it's a tranny skater like Trujillo or Cardiel. Not like they can find some natural tranny hips in the desert made out of rocks or something....ummm, unless they're Jeremy Wray.....anyways, that's why the Nike video took a shit. Everybody's parts were filled with skatepark footage. What a ripoff!!! The sickest parts were the ones with no skateparks (ie: Weiger + T, Jordan).
Lakai video rips, but the footage of that built handrail on the foundation, or that built ledge in the woods was compplete dog shit. It was completely unnecessary. Carroll's part was fucking brilliant, he had no need for those dumb fake-rail tricks. It made no sense.
Lakai is totally different from Static.....they each have their own appeal. I don't care if Guy's skating in NY or LA, because he's Guy and he grew up in LA.
I am a huge fan of real city spots (ie: Static III) but Lakai was sick in that it didn't try to front on eat coast-ish stuff, they just ripped LA and Cali spots.
I think that was a good choice....but the built spots at foundations is fake and it doesn't count. Sorry man. But fuck, that fakie ollie switch fs crook fakie tre-flip out was like some mind-altering mystical unicorn wizard magic. Can't hate on that one.
