Flora Episode 3 - Mark Suciu

[VHS ERA]

Back tail hippy jump

random Max Palmer ass trick in the middle of a handrail hammers part lol. All bases covered

[stephop]

I don't even know what the hell he was doing on rails..he can't not win SOTY unless he's blackballed

[RoaryMcTwang]

I mean, it’s fine being annoyed by his SOTY-push-iness, but that was some of the best skating anyone has ever done.

[Dr Waffles]

Had to watch the second half a few times. Loved the line with the fakie 5-Os and the flat ground cab. Rail stuff was fucked. I thought he should win it before this, but it would be wrong for him not to be the front runner at this point.

Holy fuck lmao it will take a while to process that last section. I’ve always wanted to see that fakie switch Hurricane come out switch thingy

Part was unbelievable. That said, did wanna point out that Van Vark did that one already.. But such a sick looking trick

I think Thrasher wrote up a little 2 page spread in a magazine because they both did this trick around the same time and got sequences of them too.

That trick has been on my mind all year. I bought a TVV deck earlier this year cuz of that part. Do you know what issue that’s in? I conceptualize the trick as a fakie grapefruit grind. Been doing it in my skate video games.

[stephop]

Need official names for all the weird rail tricks he did at the end so we can get 10 pages of arguing trick trick names..

[sometimeperhaps]

Has anyone checked on KB today? Might be good to reach out.

[GardenSkater77]

KB should film a part completely at a gas station and call it Citgo.

[Urtripping]

I'm like what the fuck just happened..

It's like it's penis measuring contest; Suciu shows off an average sized penis, but it's an incredibly beautiful, complex, unheard off, never seen before, breathtaking, astonishingly uncompromised, magnificent, average-and a whole fuck load of motion in the ocean-sized penis.

Lmaooo, spot on.

I think this part had some more texture than his last few for sure, I like the skrelly clip and the back tail hippy jump mixed in with all that wizardry. I think I wanna see him have fun more often!

The barrage of insane rail tricks was fucked up but I'd almost rather them be sprinkled throughout the part and slowly building, but that's really an editing critique rather than one of the actual skating. I'll die on this hill... Suciu more than deserves to be recognized for his accomplishments, but I still wonder if he will get SOTY. And that doubt has NOTHING to do with what he's actually doing on the skateboard but everything to do with what kind of impact it's having on people. Skateboarding is weird, man.

I'd vote for him just because he takes it so seriously, but I'm afraid that it's the reason why he won't win it.

Edit: Mark Suciu's penis

I’m not even a stan but dude can do whatever he wants, it’s clear

pretty sure at least one was a 5050

[Abyss1]

Love the San jose spot representation
2:05 sjsu
2:40: google arques and lakeside sunnyvale bus stop

[MrDuckey]

Holy shit, give this man SOTY. He could probably recreate Marc Johnson's entire fully flared part in a few months with improved variations. And Marc Johnson started filming for that in 2004 or something since it had Enjoi clips but still won 2007 SOTY

[Lifer]

It's hard to imagine how much time this dude put on the board with all the added clips this dude filmed for his instagram on top of all these parts.. Insane

[Stride]

Marks gonna quit skating after he gets SOTY to pursue his masters in English literature.
Only explanation for this.

Sorry yuto, game over.

Blatant soty push is whack but you just cant argue with marks skating. Ludicrously good

[close]

He’s just doing his job - and doing it very very well.

I hate the “it’s cool to not try” mentality.

[close]

Plus, if you don't think pretty much every SOTY in the last 10 years wasn't gunning for it you're out of your mind.

You're not wrong, just seems like past couple years the attempts have been more obvious which has bothered me a bit. Maybe that will become the new norm and thats ok, I just have to adjust to it.

Anyways, max palmer for soty.

Mark's gonna win tho, he went off

Only person I can think of that wasn’t doing it intentionally was Wes Kremer.  He seems to just be coasting through life without a care in the world.

[sizzle_chest]

Mark doesn't wear Thrasher logo so he's not really trying

[barbara2]

English major of the year for sure in my book

Mason felt organic and took advantage of the pandemic.   He was just having a year and was skating at a high level and kept going until the wheels fell off.   When he had a parts worth of footage he released it

[Made In China]

Ok if you hate on this you just don't love skateboarding. That was amazing and I'll fight anyone that says it isn't. I got high as fuck and replayed every single trick in the last two minutes so many fucking times. I've literally day dreamed about some of these tricks and hoped someone would do them one day. Front 180 switch fs feeble? and then that switch?? Fuck anyone that doesn't love this yall don't have a soul.

I don't think Wes was gunning for it, but I do think DC had an organized advertising push behind it.

[Made In China]

He literally one upped Yuto's ender as his own. That's the most gangster thing I've ever seen. Fuck me.

[RoaryMcTwang]

Just rewatched. I think this is my favourite part of his and that's saying something. Just incredible.

[Paul Cicero]

Facts.

Also - after a re watch. FUCK ME he is the best.

[keepthefunkalive]

Just call them all back lips and you'll be good

[chat noir]

This flurry of Suciu parts just show us how many pros are straight coasting. How many parts this year? and the dude's reading books?

Phelps and Suciu would have loved shooting the shit talking about books, if they didn't when he was alive. Phelps read a lot books too.

[Baby on Board]

Heavy Cross Continental vibes in this one. Way more memorable than Verso.
Instant classic shit.

[harch]

The last 2 minutes or so was one of the most fucked up things I've seen a in while. It'll be a travesty if he doesn't win.

[Yonnycage]

KB cryin in the car at the gas station rn


Jesus fuckin christ Suciu is the EA skate main character
