Skateboarding => USELESS WOODEN TOY BANTER => Topic started by: TMKF on December 05, 2009, 10:33:37 AM

Okay so I just watched Zero Strange World, and I looked on the forum and didn't se a review yet, so I decided to take a stab at it. I just watched the video 3 times in a row, and I have to start off by saying I think the video is great! I liked it better than the Fallen video(mainly because it was less HD and better music) and I really do not have one negative thing to say about it at all. The only thing I would've done different is given Garrett Hill last part, because his part was in my opinion the best part in the video.
The video starts out with like all the other Zero videos a fast opening montage of slams and throw away clips that didn't make it into peoples parts, and let me tell you there are some sick clips in there. The clips are kinda hard to see because there is a filter over them, but it's still really sick. The video then goes straight into Garrett Hill's part and let me tell you this one is really good! He has some tricks in his part that I was really psyched on, and I've always liked Garrett's style and trick selection. He does a really gnarly bs 180 nosegrind, and his nollie flip front 5050 blew me away, and that wasn't even his ender.
The next part is Keegan Sauder, and i've really always liked this guy just because of how good his style is and how comfortable he looks on a board, everything is always so natural. His parts in the past look like he was just out skating and filmed stuff and put a part together and was always good, but not like this part, I feel like he really tried and gave it his all, as it was a really solid part. You can tell he really pushed himself which I was really stoked on, that noseblunt from his Zero ad is so good!
What I really liked about this video is that it was consolidated so that it wasn't too long and there are 2 montages with the riders who don't have full parts. The first montage is after Keegan's part and it has Rattray, Sheldon, Cervantes, Ben Gilley and all of them get down, no fillers in this part. Rattray had a bunch of street footage that was rally good, Sheldon has good stuff one thing that stood out was his kf backtail on the bank to ledge Keegan noseblunts. Gilley ends it with a huge 5050 that he ate shit on more than once, no I didnt count the stairs but i'd guess its well over 20.
There was a lot of Marisa Dal Santos being injured during the filming of this, so when I found out she had a full part I was psyched! She does not disappoint, this chick is fucking gnarly! You've seen some of the photos, but she front boarded that one 14 in a line and I was really stoked on that!
The second montage comes up next and I was a bit confused because I had heard that Chiefers had an HD warehouse part. Not in this version, he had a bunch of really sick street stuff. One thing that really stood out was he front feebled up that round white bar up against a wall, the one he lip slid up in the fallen video. He also back 5-0s a gnarly hubba, which may have been older footage because his hair was longer. Anyway I was really stoked on Jamie's stuff but he shares this montage with Elissa Steamer, Donovan Piscopo, and Tommy Sandoval. I was hoping for more footage of Elissa she has good clips but it left me wanting more, hopefully she will have a full part in the next Zero video. Donovan has really matured skating wise and has some more urbanesque clips in his part, and you can tell his older footage he is grinded gnarly rails, he does a front feeble pop out that really surprised me. Tommy's stuff is crazy as usual but I think this is some of my favorite footage of him, maybe that it is trimmed down. I'm not really sure but his style looks a lot better to me, more stylish i'd say, and as usual all really good stuff from him.
Next up is Zero's newest am Dane Burman from OZ, and this guy is no joke. His part has some really fucked up stuff in it. He hardflips the big street gap that Heath bs flipped, I also forgot to mention that Garrett pop shuvs the shit out to open his part. Dane did hardflip it, and if you can believe it, that is not his ender! I don't want to give it away cuz I want you to be as amazed as I was, but he completely fucks a famous spot, by doing the trick everyone has been thinking about someone doing for years i'm sure. He also back 5050 pop outs a rail with a big drop on the other side, its the one Dollin fs flips in the last Baker video, that was insane.
James Brockman has the next part, and it is full of hammers, he really pushed himself hard for this part, you've seen the photos, and the footage is just as fucked up. I was sayin I had to see that front blunt to believe it and I saw it he did he perfect.
Everyone has seen Asta and Coles part by now cuz it was leaked last night. I have to admit I was a bit worried because I heard about the song they skated to and I absolutely hate rap music, but I think it turned out really good. I think it made the part really enjoyable. Tom Asta is super good, I guess he is going to be on Mystery now, but he kills it. He has some really good tech tricks in his part, and nollie heel back lip the Durham Courthouse rail was insane. Coles stuff was really good, I like the east coast footage he has like the ally oop one nosegrind in Jersey, and you've all seen his enders. I like the anlge of the bs 360 flip that they used in the video better than the one on the Thrasher side, but the cabalarial front blunt was my favorite clip of him.
Okay I'm almost done here, last part was little canadian fuck Jamie Tancowny. Now I have to admit I wasnt feeling this kid from his photos and stuff he just seemed like a little shit kid, but man he did make me bite my tongue. Well he still is a little shit kid, but this kid can fucking skate. Hammers all around, and he ends with that insane kickflip on the new Transworld cover.
The closing section is just like the other Zero videos, more footage and an awesome song but again the filter was up so you can't see the footage that well. All in all this was a really good video and did not leave me disappointed whatsoever and they are selling it for under $15, which is insane! I would like to add that HD just sucks the few HD clips in this video are second angles to vx1000 and the vx1 stuff looks so much better. I'm so bummed Black Box is moving all HD, it just does not look as good for skateboarding, especially the fisheye stuff. This video was 99% VX though so I cannot complain. Anyway that's it.
Is that better pussies??? "No it ain't faggot" Fuck you guys...

nollie heel back lip the Durham Courthouse rail was insane.
I audibly gasped when I saw this trick.
-
I've only watched it once but........
Garrets has such a good style, his last trick is fucked. nollie flip 50 was deadly
Tommy Sandovals tricks were bullshit!!!!!! and that ollie over his car in the credits???? WTF
Dane Burman's part was insane for a dude who filmed his part in like not even a year, pretty much came through with the most footage and gnarleyesy shit in the video. that back lip against the wall is fucked.
Baby Jamies part kinda bored me, that dude is really a midget. that bs flip over the hubba was a standout from his part. he has really fat legs. i liked his other part on youtube better though. he looks stupid in tye dye he doesnt look like he even gets product like clothing, he looks dirty 24/7 and he has black eyes that seem to never go away. he was pretty bland, no way he should of had last part.
Marisa doing kickflip fs boards down hand rails is fucked, no comply flip thing up that 5 stair and fs board that rail in a line, really pushing girl skating,"more punker then greco" as quoted by dane burman
how was keegan am for so long?
Brockmans part was gnarley. pretty much killing himself, crail fs blunts look so gnarley
I hope Gilley has a part in the next Zero vid, that fs feeble was beautiful. speaking of fs feebs, The cheifs one on that pole jam/rail and that back lip on that out ledge were tight as fuck.
to me Tom Asta and Dane Burman, Brockman were the standouts of the video and Tommy Sandovals tricks in the montage.
The video was prob one of the better video's of the year. good soundtrack, good editing. worth buying! i prob wont really watch baby jamies part though, cant believe so many talk him up in magazines, he was horrible now. like i said earley his old part was better
Brockman diserved last part.
-
I wasn't really feeling him from his photos...
-
this video really did everything right in my opinion, cool use of computer graphics that didn't distract from the footage, i especially liked that you were watching footage even while the persons name was showing, complete opposite of waiting through some stupid claymation.
-
Notes:
-Marisa Dal Santo made every other girl who has ever stepped on a skateboard look like a punk. Pretty much every trick she did made me redefine what a girl skateboarder is capable of.
-Where is the regular speed clip of Chris Cole 360 ollie flipping carlsbad? It got shown twice, but both were slow motion. I would love to see it at the speed it happened
-Keegan Sauder is awesome. Love this dude. Even more now that he's living and filming up in Frisco- his style is made for that city's spots. -John Rattray kills it too. Glad they were back to back. In six months, when the hammer parts in this video all have been one-upped, its going to be easy to go back to the two parts that are still amazing.
-Somebody told me Jamie's part is just him doing like 3 tricks in the zero warehouse- hyped it was more than that.
-Garret hill had a part that was less boring than his other parts, but VX is an idiot if he thinks that was the best part in the video.
-That Jamie Tawconey kid is like the new Leo Romero- his part was pretty mediocre and bland, but for some reason that I don't understand, he got the ender, a cover, and I believe an interview talking about how awesome he is. And that kickflip that was on some cover this month, which was his ender looked even easier on film, where the angle makes it clear that he doesn't have to really pop up over anything, and to clear the whole gap it looked like he had to pop a kickflip like he was kickflipping over a 3 foot long flatgap and then just let his knees try not to explode.
-Glad Ben Gilley's slam/make ratio is still really high. I honestly like seeing that dude slam more than make it- not that I have anything against him, its just that when he goes down, its gnarly!
-
shut the fuck up
-
Tommy Sandovals tricks were bullshit!!!!!! and that ollie over his car in the credits???? WTF
no shit, i've watched that about 10 times
-
TLDR. VX1kLBTHD is a faggot.
the video was good, though chris cole's song was shit, i wanted to stab my ears.
everything associated/created with/by chief is fucking legit.
-
Tommy Sandovals tricks were bullshit!!!!!! and that ollie over his car in the credits???? WTF
His ollie out into the bank to roll off the curb and eat shit was rad though.

I'm just surprised James Brockman has a full part.
Also Jenna Haze is awesome...........in a hooker sort of way.

Is Brockman on drugs or something?
He's extremely good, and somehow underrated I think, but there's just something that seems a bit off about him?

i do not enjoy watching keegan sauder skate. he did some good tricks but the majority of them were boring and i find his style very bad.

and he should not do pop shoves, that one on the fountain gap was terrible. he caught it super ugly, but unlike others in a similar situation, dude did not pull it off with a landing that was easy on the eyes either.
(http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/2253/vlcsnap1397012.png)
i honestly do not understand how the gipper can claim his part will be one to look back to because it won't be one upped. a few of his tricks were one upped by other dudes in the same video, and others were simply mediocre tricks on spots that have already been given the treatment. that noseblunt and fence bash to fakie are clearly the only tricks that will stand the test of time, guaranteed his ender is topped within a month or so, or with the way things are in the city, it's probably already been topped and some dude is sitting of the footage.
-
I'm glad someone else said it. Keegan sauder sucks. So does rattray.

I just came back in here to say dane burman only had three good tricks, and he had shitty style, so it really doesn't mean anything.

i dunno if thats true, but in interviews he openly says he does drugs, and he doesnt apologize for or deny his racist actions.

he was pretty fucked up for a while, but doesnt excuse the racism. what did he do, get wasted and blast some hate at shuriken on an osiris tour?

ben giley's style has never been all that easy on the eyes, but i don't recall it ever being that terrible. the attempts and make on that last 5050 were unbearable. he skates like he's at least 30 pounds heavier. most of his enders have been a 5050 on a rail, and from the angle, this one looks to be no bigger than the ones he's done before, if not smaller (dying to live friends section, reason to believe).
every trick tommy sandoval had was amazing.
-
I really like Garret hills part. Amazing tricks and a great style. Should have had last part. Keegan had a good part but I don't really like the song. Dane Burman is amazing, that ollie was insane at the end of his part. That bitch is the best skateboarder with a vagina by far. I hated all the little kids, including that kid who shared a part with the constipated gorilla to that horrible song. That little Jamie kid definitely did not deserve last part. The balding racist drug addict alcoholic had what is my favorite part of the video.

I know you don't get it. My point was that his part wasn't about hammers and one upping. He skated fast, popped and caught his shit proper, and showed some genuine ATV gnarliness.
Your bullshitty nitpicking is so dumb. Oh my god, he hunched over a little after taking huge impacts! What shitty style! I mean, he did every part of the trick perfectly, and going fast as fuck, but bending over cancels it all out, right?

Marissa is the only girl skaters section i wouldnt skip and the only girl skater thats got me hyped

i can't believe brockman front blunted that hubba, one of the sickest things i've seen in a while.

Props to the use of Drunk Injuns song for Rattray's part. Liked the video more than anything else released this year. Marisa is queen of skateboarding. Elissa is still chugging along.

Strangeworld was dope!
Keegan Sauder rips. Fuck anybody that doesn't think so. Good work JT.
EDIT
Marisa is fucking awesome... super stoked on that part. Also, I always have loved Elissa ever since Welcome to Hell. Fucking awesome to see more footy of her.

you don't get it either. he literally did none of those things you listed; i'll let you explain to yourself why keegan sucks.
He skates kinda fast, but other dudes skate faster than him
and might i point out that tom asta does way harder shit than he did going way faster than him.
he can skate [tranny], but has never done anything groundbreaking on [it], he never skates [ledges]
i actually don't care that he doesn't skate ledges, just fitting that post to this context.
he's so mediocre, and everybody thinks his [bend over to the front and touch your toes] crap is so great.
couldn't find anything to point out that he catches his shit terribly ugly, so i'll just post this again:
(http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/2253/vlcsnap1397012.png)terrible catch, which is the result of a poorly popped trick.
and those screen grabs just highlighted the worst of his landings. bending over like that is ugly, but the fact that he lands so stiff is even worse. there is no knee movement whatsoever on that nollie lip. it looks painful. his style sucks.
-
Marissa's opening slam is the funniest shit ever
-
keegans the fucking best! fuck your face!
-
keegans the fucking best! fuck your face!
i backed my argument with screen grabs and examples from the part, but you know what, you just saying he's "the fucking best" has completely changed my opinion. ::)
-
Yeah, but you also claimed that you didn't really see anything wrong with Ben Gilley's style, thus voiding your entire argument.
-
I would rather watch Ben Gilley skate than Keegan Sauder, he is just way more entertaining to watch. Keegan has more skill and can skate a lot of stuff, but I cannot get into watching him skate.
This video was fucking sick and is one of the best Zero videos.

My roommate has the most regular girl friend... makes him go to church. she's hot and all but I don't fucking get it...

Sorry... but screen grabs prove nothing. You can take the most stylish skater on the planet and pull out a screen grab that looks terrible. And you can take someone with terrible style and freeze it at the right point to make it look good.
No one is gonna look good on the instant of impact.

thank you ^

Keegan has shit style, and sucks. Face it. When ben gilley and ton cervantes' tricks look better than yours it's time for you to just give it up.

Keep proving what a dumbshit you are. Just keep typing. I can't help it that you can't recognize solid skating when it slaps you in the face.
And COTG, I am pretty sure that dumbass shit you say like that is why even transworld laughs at you.

That's the second time you've said that, and it's even less valid the second time. You're an idiot and you're not funny.

I swear if you people actually laugh at any of this stuff you have no sense of humor. It's like not only do you guys suck at skateboarding, but you don't have any personality, and you niggas wonder why the football players were stuffing you in trashcans when you were in high school.

That kid didn't respect anybody, and he learned right quick never to do it again. I don't think he ever asked me for so much as a spare cigarette after that.

i honestly do not understand how the gipper can claim his part will be one to look back to because it won't be one upped. a few of his tricks were one upped by other dudes in the same video, and others were simply mediocre tricks on spots that have already been given the treatment. that noseblunt and fence bash to fakie are clearly the only tricks that will stand the test of time, guaranteed his ender is topped within a month or so, or with the way things are in the city, it's probably already been topped and some dude is sitting of the footage.

The Keegan hate is a complete abomination. Can't believe that shit, but alas, to each his own.
COTG is why people think sideways in regards to slap forums. You [cotg] are one of the most ignorant motherfuckers to ever make use of a keyboard. There is a yearning inside of me that just wants to expose you and pull you're card so badly. I don't take anything you say seriously, and when scrolling through a topic I immediately dismiss any of you're posts as some bullshit rambling that I, as a person cannot read correctly due to the overwhelming amount of asinine literature . Your level of faggot'ness is skyrocketing by the second. If one of the moderators focused you account and IP so that you could never come back here, I would immediately send M.Whiteley, or whom ever did the deed; the porno: "Pirates", and 60 bucks Canadian.

HAHAHA slap was hated a disregarded long before i was here, and then it pretty much only had circle jerk dick riding faggots. What's funny is you don't understand I pretty much represent the people that don't like you guys: actual skateboarders.
Another thing you don't understand is there is nothing to expose. Ask the two people on here that have met me. I'm just a regular dude that skateboards. Well, actually I'm sure they would say extremely cool, and charismatic reminiscent of a young dwayne johnson, but you get the picture.

Yeah, but you also claimed that you didn't really see anything wrong with Ben Gilley's style, thus voiding your entire argument.
you completely misunderstood me. i said that his style was never as completely terrible as it is now. i even said he skates like he's 30 pounds heavier and said his attempts and make on the last 5050 were unbearable. but yeah, i can understand how you would think i found nothing wrong with his style.
as for the stills, they weren't meant to showcase how bad his style was, they were just meant to point out specific tricks that were done especially bad. the tricks look bad in the stills, but if you watch back those tricks in their entirety they don't look any better.

You took this millisecond clips of him as far down as he got. I guarantee if somebody put in the effort, they could make Paul Rodriguez's switch 360 flip you got on your avatar look like he landed taking a shit. It looks fine if you see any of those stills in context.

that 5050 front shove looked worse in video than a still could possibly represent. same with that pop shove, among other tricks. that's the difference between taking a still of the footage of a perfectly done switch tre done by prod, and a still of the footage of most tricks done by keegan sauder.

They looked fine on video, you are a dumbshit. He caught the shove it fine, that's a huge drop, if he didn't catch it well, he would have eaten shit.

cotg,
your opinion really matters and all of on here really respect you and think you're the best skateboarder in the world. I would bet money that you're better at skating than P-rod and Jereme (when he skated) combined.
Anyways keep up the great posts.

even if you thought the stiff legs bent over shit looks good, you know damn well that 5050 front shove was ugly. there is such a thing as getting lucky, and cleary keegan experienced it with that shove on the fountain gap.

i do not enjoy watching keegan sauder skate. he did some good tricks but the majority of them were boring and i find his style very bad.

haha jerry hsu's bonus round part is a good watch, and i didn't even know that song had been used before that skit came on. i get what you're saying though, but i would have just said "keegan's part was my least favorite to watch" if he hadn't been so hyped on here. i just can't understand why anyone would like someone who has bad style, doesn't skate especially fast, and does mostly mediocre tricks on popular out spots.

yeah i knew some things were missing. he was in the montage with the drunk injuns song. maybe they cut him out to make room for jamie. also i think it was a different song at the premiere, or maybe it was too loud for me to recognize it? i feel like there was another person or two that were in the premiere version.
cataclysmic abyss premiere and dvd versions are different too.

Ishod wair wasn't sponsored in 2008. He switch flipped love and hardflipped it. You'd be surprised how many good people aren't sponsored. I know two kids personally that only have shop sponsors that are better than 90% of the dudes guys post on here. 90% of getting sponsored is having footage and being in the right places at the right times.
Not to mention aside from the few pro skateboarders here, there's only like two people on here that regularly post and are sponsored/flow. Added to the fact that none of you actually skateboard. All i have to do is go out of the door and kickflip on the sidewalk and I'm better than 99% of the people on here.

In every single one of the pictures you posted, his knees are bent, or about to bend. The "bent over" aspect that you are talking about is far worse in Paul Rodriguez's landing of the switch 360 flip you have in your avatar. While you have made your opinion loud and clear, you still lack one person saying they agree, and almost every person who has posted since your first dumbshit post have been talking about how fucking stupid and baseless your shitty opinion is. Those who didn't talk about what a tasteless moron you are didn't talk about you at all. Your opinion, while allowed, is not being supported no matter what you say. All of these things which you find to be undeniable have been thuroughly rejected and denied by every other person who has seen this video.The more you speak of it, the more you invite mockery.

so true man i know so many bad people who are hooked up especially in canada its real bad, especially west 49 they hook up fucking anyone who is willing to taste some corporate cum for a fucking 15% discount on a fucking billy talent t shirt
thing is about skating too nowadays is all the companies are so lame and there is no future in it so we are seeing more and more guys who are next level not pushing their potential. guaranteed you are going to see way less stair and rail hammers in the next few years cause no one is going to want to do that stuff anymore. the next group of guys arent going to want to blow thier back out for 1 video part worth of coverage, now you gotta fucking market yourself and become a brand like tiger or jordan. thats why vanessa torres is pro, she is attractive and probably hangs out at LA skate parks a lot and is a distinguished figure in that community (which is huge) its not like she is pushing skateboarding technically-wise or anything, she can just ride good enough (thats the 10% cotg was talkin about) to maintain pro status

no they weren't, and from the time the still was taken, they didn't bend any further. he landed like a ton of bricks on that nollie lip, that's all there is to it. you make it seem like i was expecting to change anyone's opinion of keegan. clearly if you like him for some odd reason, you're not gonna be swayed by a few stills and examples.

and 95% of getting sponsored fully is being marketable. it doesnt matter if someone is better than someone else, if theyre a rad person, get along with the team, and have something to them that general public will like, that can go a long way.
keegan is good, seems like a nice guy, doesn't have a gimmick, and is likable. end of story. no one is claiming that hes the best skater on earth. and why should someone be the best skater on earth in order for you to be psyched on them? why does everything always boil down to a fucking competition?

If Cotg is really that good why wont you just post some footy right now. I'd love to see some good skateboarding. If its not a big deal then post it.

It simply means skateboard with an overzealous swagger someone like Sarah Palin would have if she skated, I'm sure you understand. I am not going to argue with you about who is better at skateboarding but I am positive you are unable to skate anything besides low impact and horizontal terrain. Furthermore I can absolutely guarantee I would take you in a game of flat-ground SKATE, son.

If this were basketball, or football you would probably have a valid point. Skateboarding totally different, because if you don't skateboard yourself, or if you're not capable of some of the shit being done, it's hard for you to gauge how hard(or easy) most tricks are.
I also, want to know why they're opinions are stupid? because they don't coincide with the majority of the people on slap? Who happen to be the bottom of the barrel as far as actually skateboarding is concerned.
-
i used to be on this board constantly a few years ago when it started making waves in the skateboard world. enough so that other magazines brought up what we were talking about. after that more and more people flocked to these boards. some were very evidently buisness/industry types. with the ammount of attention this message board got/get, i think its kinda stupid of you to say this is the bottom level of skateboarders out there.

mmm, i could just as easily say that you dont skate even close to the same way that keegan skates and therefore you cant form a valid argument on how hard his tricks are. I know you understand that point because oftentimes you try to explain how gnarly the latest p rod part is to some of the slap kids to no avail.
i find it weird that you are so defensive about it though. do you consider yourself to be in competition with these guys or something?

The study doesn't need to be conducted, because we already know the answer. Hardly anyone that can skate worth a shit posts on slap, or skateboard message boards in general. Actually, what's funny is that slap roasts people on skateperception, but person on skateperception is much more likely to actually be decent at skateboarding. Slap is the worst of the worst.

I'm gonna agree with you on this, but then I also have to call you out on shit you say about transition. You've said you don't skate transition, but it's easy to skate and always hate on it. So by your own logic, you can't really gauge how hard transition is to skate unless you actually skate it, which you've said you don't.
It's not as easy as you think by the way. Certain tricks like backsmiths are stupidly easy, but other tricks that may seem simple can be really hard.

Little kids that start skating at parks always start out skating transition. The one time i consciously made an actual effort to skate transition (a mini ramp, but whatever) i was doing blunt fakies like nothing. I would be willing to bet that if i skated transition for a year i would be better than 90% of the people on slap at that, too.

Go to any skatepark in america, spot who the good kids are and ask them if they post on slap. Then go to the kids that are sitting down on the ledges or barely learning fs no complys if they post on slap. The latter posts on slap more than the former. Aside from my friends who only know about slap because of me, i have only met one person through actually skateboarding that knows about slap message boards, and he doesn't even post.
Who conducted this study and what institution funded it?

mmm, i could just as easily say that you dont skate even close to the same way that keegan skates and therefore you cant form a valid argument on how hard his tricks are. I know you understand that point because oftentimes you try to explain how gnarly the latest p rod part is to some of the slap kids to no avail.
i find it weird that you are so defensive about it though. do you consider yourself to be in competition with these guys or something?
Post your footy so you can show us how great you are as you always claim to be.

I like skating some mini ramps...its good for the knees and busting some flip tricks in transitions is nice.
You should try it COTG,just for yourselve not just to be better than those slap posters who drink glasses of piss and lives in nices houses like faggets...its not because life is hard that you have to argue over types of skating...thats regressional.
try to be positive man...not HIV positive or gay...just switch your homebwaye mind a little bit.

no racist shit here...i write homebwaye since day one to everybody here.
and seriously,with all my respect here or whatever..."homebwaye" is an inside between me and my Jamaican friend who is one of my best friend in life and an awesome skateboarder too...so stop that racist shit im not the dude who call my black friends "nigga" just because they are down with me,i hate racists peoples so hard man i'm french canadian do you think i'm not victim of racial shit man ??? They use to hang on trees french-canadians almost like they did to blacks in the south.We were at wars against two supremacies empire...they called us "white niggers" because Anglos didnt understood our talking....so i know what the fuck is going on man.
sorry if you took it as a wicca up attempt to discriminate your slang in LA or the homebwaye company incorporated who is run by blacks.

My bad the way you wrote just looked like some slick shit It's cool, a simple misuderstanding.

no problemo....Actually i like the freedom of speech you stand for...so if i've reacted too much about your posts in the past thats because i like your skills and some peeps here might have a lot more in common with you that you can think....even if i'm from the East Coast.
i say it in the most sincere no homo way possible.

ahaha i cant get over that "90 percent of slap posters cant kickflip"
with this logic im a minority to the site and also really good?
there should be a slap game of skate.

Didn't say it means you're good, I'm just saying that's all it takes to be better than the clowns on slap.
-
if your talent as a skateboarder was directly linked with your ability to troll cotg would be prod and most of you wouldnt be able to kickflip
im really happy to see keegan has so many people backing him on the boards, hes a good dude and fully deserves it.

can someone please post footage of cotg????

i feel it's time to step in... i skated with COTG this past saturday and i can honestly say that he is a good skateboarder and a decent guy. skating with someone in real life and talking shit on slap are two very different things; its too easy to judge a person based on the internet persona they put on. at the end of the day, its just a wooden toy, and slap is just a series of tubes anyway

You got yourself a deal. I will try to learn nollie heel noseslides too (I'm not kidding either...I think it's a sick trick, I just think lots of different types of skateboarding are rad). So December 2010 you have to be able to do at least anything I can do in any transition that I can skate.

Me and drunk were talking about this a couple weeks ago. We have a friend who skates alot like COTG and definitely has a very similar outlook on skateboarding as him. But he's a good friend of ours, and we skate with him alot. He's actually filmed alot of my footage recently. I'm sure if I ever had the chance to skate with COTG I'd get along with him just fine.

Jamie Thomas pop shuved that same fountain gap back in 1994. Then keegan he does it FS 15 years later. Plus Tancowny killed that spot anyways.

i watched it again last night and cant understand where the tony cervantes hate is coming from that guy is genius
james brockman's part was even sick i dont really like that guy seems like a kook but his footage was great
also keegan sauder's kickflip off that natural ramp thing is fucking insane i guarantee no one on this entire forum would even ollie off it. also his bs 180 at the skatepark same deal.
dane's ollie in vancouver (his ender i think) i didnt realize how fucking insane that was no one has ever even done that before its like a 12 stair at least and then a flat gap then a real skinny landing down the next 12
the intro to that video was fucking amazing too just the rawest fucking shit ever when the guy does the rail and jumps over his buddy
tom asta is fucking amazing where the hell did he come from he is fucking as good as mike mo and came out of nowhere

man cotg, i saw a clip or two of yours on the old youtube, your good, actually better than good. but fuck dont break your arm patting your self on the back. a little bit of humble pie will go a long way. no one likes an "Im better than you" guy. just tone it down and let your skating speak for itself.
and for the video.
bought it yesterday, very worth the $12. that aussi kid is really good and i like the little itailian kid too. marrissa is a beast! she kills it! gnarliest part a girl has ever put out. but, i prefer ellissa.
brockman was sick, i have no idea how sandoval has that much good footage, its unreal. garret hill was great as usual. i could do without tom asta but the kid is undieably good. chris cole nuts as usual. i agree that a full speed clip of the 360 kickflip would be nice.
the chief still comes through, ben gilly was a let down, dude had plenty of time to film more than that. tony cervantes is usually one of my favorites this footage was a little stock for him. he's ususally more creative.
-
^^^^Dude....you are barking up the wrong tree. He doesn't even know you and I am sure he thinks you're a faggot. Haha! But no....I am messing around. I actually saw the footy last night and had no idea too. I guess I finally get all those nollie heel noseslide jokes.

I have a few honest questions for you.
First of all, Really, dude?
Second, Really?
Third, Are you fucking 12 years old? Because it's usually little fucking snot-nosed kids who tend to say juvenile stuff like this.
Fourth, Do you not realize how unbelievably shitty of a person (whether you are or not) it makes you sound like by saying stuff like this?
Fifth, Do you honestly think a bunch of people you don't know and never will meet in real life really give a flying fuck about you and your personal skate abilities so much that you have to constantly, and I mean constantly remind everyone of how much better you think you are than them?
Congratulations, you're great at a couple of aspects of skateboarding and those couple of aspects of skateboarding only, you should be happy with that and stick to what you know because in your own words, people that skate everything are lame!

those were actually the only two tricks i liked in his part, both were done really well i'll admit.

I've pretty much seen all the parts exept james brockman and jamie tancowny.
-
You know who else had a sick part? Dane Burman. That guy did some really crazy shit. And his ender definitely is nuts. Looks like its down hill at the end too, so after going super fast to clear the gap, and picking up a ton of speed ollieing into the bank, he kept speeding up. Its not like he landed and could just ride it out and slow down.

i watched it again last night and cant understand where the tony cervantes hate is coming from that guy is genius
I don't get why people don't like him either, pretty much every trick he's put out in the last few years has been sick.
I will say that Keegan is slightly overrated. I still think he's sick though, and like people have said, having a solid style, good trick and spot selection, and being a nice guy/not being a kook can get you a lot farther sometimes than having a million tricks and being the worst kook.
Rattray's first line is killer, I hope he has a full part in the next video.
The Jamie Thomas tricks were very sick.
James Brockman killed it.
Tommy Sandoval lands every one of his tricks incredibly solid, seriously watch. He's amazing.
Chris Cole had the sickest tricks in the video, Tom Aista is a lot better than I thought, obviously that nollie heel flip back lip...
Dane Burman had about 5 insane tricks, and a good part overall.
Jamie Tancowny is very gnarly. I wish he would stick with short hair and away from the tye dye crowd though.
Marrissa killed it.
Elissa's footage was pretty good, but I thought she'd have more... when was her last part before this?
Ben Gilley's first line with the slam on the gap-manual-to drop looks huge. I agree with the idea that he skates like someone who's much heavier, it's kinda weird.
Garrett Hill's part was solid, especially considering how much footage he's had recently.
-
I thought Brockman's part was sick, his last 5 or 6 tricks were great and even though you can tell in the footage that Dane's ender is unbelievably huge, I'm sure its one of those spots where if you went there in person you'd say 'no fucking way'
-
Coles and Tom Astas part was sick as fuck. loved that it was edited to young jeezy. how old is asta? he rips
