Hell yea that was great
Jordan's skating makes me want to skate.
I want to say because its relatable, but in more of a fantasy type way where I wish my abilities allowed me to relate to this.
+1 for Tom K guest trick in those baby blue shoes

this dude has a serious eye for spots

the manny ollie up the manny pad, quick gap to 5050 that bench was such a sick way to look at that spot

Goddamn, that's a good one, definitely going to find its way into the rotation.  His fits are exactly what I would have dressed like in high school if I had access to those clothes, but not in a bad way.

EDIT: I've watched it twice more and it's definitely my favorite part of the year so far, and I'm not sure how likely that is to change.  One of those parts that forces you to realize anew what an insanely cool thing skateboarding is.

Gordo delivers the goods.

The lightheartedness and 'fun' in this part belies how gnarly a lot of these tricks are.
Definitely one for the regular rotation.

Big fan of this guy. Great style, fits, trick selection and spot selection. Honestly would like to see him somewhere better than WKND. Also huge respect for bringing the spiked belt back, haven't seen that paired with button-ups previously, but I think he pulled it off. Spiked belt x Shorty's shirt fit was also sick.

What's wrong with WKND? Seems like they let the riders do their thing and are selling well enough.

What's the story here? Been through Mehrathon for a few years at least now. I know there was that Grant getting clocked at a restaurant story, did that reverberate all the way to Canadian skate distro?

from what i remember hearing on here, it was supposed to be through supra. jimi threw a hissy fit and said if wknd went through supra fa would pull out.

Post by: pile on May 08, 2021, 09:28:02 PM
supra merged with take 5 which was the wknd distro at the time, and from what i know jimi gave the ultimatum, lose wknd or lose us. fa/hockey kills it in canada so they pulled the plug on wknd.

i’m sure it wasn’t a huge loss for supra, but they probably would have done a lot more with wknd than mehrathon has. they (supra) do a good job at marketing their brands.

Been on heavy rotation this weekend. Such a fantastic part.


Nothing quite gets me as excited about skating than somebody with a really creative approach without being gimmicky and maintaining a pretty grounded trick selection. Huge fan and maybe his best part yet.

Post by: funeral_tuxedo on May 09, 2021, 05:08:53 PM
That was just beautiful. Dude has unique spots, tricks, style, fashion, charisma-basically the complete package.
Like some others mentioned, I wish that the fimer(s) chilled out on the Strobeck style zooms because so much of Jordan Taylor's aesthetic is how interesting the spots are and how he navigates them in ways that are unexpected and inimitable- so I feel that sometimes the overzealous zoom reduces the ability to examine and appreciate the terrain. But whatever, I still think it's a such great part. Now I've got to go watch all his other parts.
You did it again, Gordo.

Didn't really pay that much attention to him on Toy, but has been one of my favorites for the past 5 or so years since his Gordo2K Part.

NB# has probably two of the most interesting skaters around right now for spot selection in Gordo and Tom Knox.

Grant does bite Strobeck though... and there was a lot lost to zooming in this video...

Seeing this edit, I feel that Grant is very self-concious at this point and wants to be in the "cool guy zone" with Palace, Quasi, FA, etc.  and he's not realizing that he would have a lot of potential with WKND if he stopped trying to copy everyone else.
