Always good seeing someone from your local scene put stuff out. I remember skating with my homies 7 years ago and trying to do those power slide variations when we saw kien doing em. Good times.

Surprised not to see a bs big spin.

That was horrible. Just absolutely awful. Before you type an essay labeling me as a transphobic hater, I am a fan of Dutchy, Efron and Akobi. I just didn't like this part. Terrible circus trick selection, boring spots, boring song/edit, booty ass style and outfits that would look stupid on anyone. The no comply front 3 was the only decent trick done well. Come at me bro
Would you say they're ruining skateboarding?

not really feeling some of those slide and pivot and body varial combos, but theres some rad stuff in here too. its kinda cool to see that sort of bordeaux/japan style of skating keep evolving. but i would say the long sequences of spinny slidey things need to get trimmed a little.

damn that thing they do where they do a little fs powerslide right before the edge and then ollie a gap/set of stairs is so fucking sick. can't really imagine figuring that one out. really enjoyed this overall, good mix of fun "illegals" and more "serious" tricks

Plenty of cool tricks, and I liked the music. I cannot stand 99% of that goofy IG style of skateboarding (admittedly some of it did look pretty fun), so aside from being a little overboard with that at times I thought that this was definitely an enjoyable part. I've not yet seen the entire video but I'll be checking it out for sure.

I've seen Kien skate in person many times over the past 4 years and they have always been one of the nicest, stoked skaters.

Also, they're really good in general not just the unconventional shit. One time they rolled up and were doing super high speed tre flips in Doc Martins. Another time they randomly busted out a tre flip noseslide on a ledge. Varial heel back 5-0 fs 180 out on the same ledge, nose manuals on the ledge next to the 2 stair at the Courthouse. It wasn't the cleanest shit and there was lots of "wtf I dunno what that powerslide thing was even called", but it's not as if they cannot do a lot of shit that people would be drooling over if it was whatever hype dude, it's that they do whatever the fuck they think is cool. And as a kid that thought nollie nose manuals in white tees was drab as fuck, I woulda loved seeing this just for ideas.

Post by: cucktard on April 06, 2022, 06:27:28 PM
I thought it was a mixed bag. Some kind of corny fits and tricks, but also some sick outfits (those flower print pants are sick) and some genuinely good tricks.

On the whole, they’re enjoying skating and the stoke comes through. I liked it.

Definitely gave off a sick vibe of film what you do that day, whether it’s sick conventional skating (5-0 fs 3?!) or some dorky Magenta shit. Pretty much everything after the thread the needle manual on the bench is sick as fuck, but I’m definitely not detracting from the powerslide stuff. Board control is board control. Wonder if they could do one of those backside power slides right up to the edge then front 180 down. Dig the part.

also stair tricks landed on the middle of the last stair are still a big no no for me. Loved the powerslide to ollie thing though, don't recall seing that one before!

That was cool as hell. Reminded me of Dane Brady's or Gou Miyagi's skating- an easy going style with a weird bag of tricks and it just works and it's charming. I wish there'd been more fisheye filming and of course more lawn manuals.

There’s been multiple people providing constructive criticism in this thread and no one is calling anyone transphobic. It’s completely okay to not like their skating, it’s not okay to not like their skating because of who they are as a person.

So you don’t give a fuck about the politics of face masks, but seeing one in a video clip is triggering enough to get you shouting into the void about it? Ok

I didn’t love this part but I’m not such a troglodyte that I’m about to get heated over someone deciding to cover their face.

You know people in parts of India and east Asia have been wearing masks in public since way before Covid, right?

Not a fan. The revert shit was weak, just a slower, less stylish version of what the magenta guys have been doing for a while. The tricks, fits, style, and music were all pretty awful. I'm glad people can find some sort of relation to this if that's a factor for them, it really doesn't change or "ruin" skateboarding for me in any way. Call me old fashioned but I enjoy seeing people skate fast, pop high, grind far, catch flip tricks high, and land clean. I feel like a lot of that was missing here. This wasn't weird or creative enough to enjoy in a fancy lads kinda way, and it wasn't good enough to enjoy in a traditional type of way.
Title: Re: Kien's "Ruining Skateboarding" THERE Part
Post by: Prinzy on April 07, 2022, 07:27:22 AM
very cool imo.

there were a few tricks i wasn't all that into but the majority is some super sick shit. front 50 up nocomply front 180 up that double set in the crazy jorts was a highlight, as is the that backside powerslide ollie out move previously mentioned.

i wanna see the whole video.

God knows I like critiquing skating but the mere fact that critiques of Kien has to be preceded by an "I'm not transphobic but..." means we need more parts from queer/trans folks. I'm not blaming everyone who made a disclaimer before talking about the part (I also sometimes hesitate critiquing parts from trans folks) but I think parts like this is important in normalizing this community in skate discourse.

got me wanting to try the the ride past a wall, jump off your board, onto the wall, then back onto the board trick.

For some reason the n with a tilde won't display correctly so I can't make the obvious pun.

halfcab one-foot line at pier 7 was a fav though.
I noticed this one too. Very classy trick that I never really thought of before, but now I’m gonna try it

I can't stand when companies will go to the effort of making a full length video, then sporadically and stagger the release of the parts on different platforms. What's the point? So they can get a couple hundred of new followers, and have their clips shared to peoples stories for a day? Would love to see this video as intended.

And this just isn't directed at There. Pass~Port, Zero & Toy Machine did this in recent times as well.

Seems to me to be a way of inflating the view count and making it so their stuff isn’t buried under newer content a week later.

If those are the reasons, I can understand it.  If I worked for years on something, I’d want to maximize its visibility too.

I think it also helps the individual skaters get a little more shine: more people will probably watch a solo part than if that part was buried in minute 36 of a 45 minute-long video.

Eventually releasing the video as a whole after they’ve milked the individual part releases seems like the best of both worlds.

Definitely gave off a sick vibe of film what you do that day, whether it’s sick conventional skating (5-0 fs 3?!) or some dorky Magenta shit. Pretty much everything after the thread the needle manual on the bench is sick as fuck, but I’m definitely not detracting from the powerslide stuff. Board control is board control. Wonder if they could do one of those backside power slides right up to the edge then front 180 down. Dig the part.

as far as the part, it was a mixed bag to me, as others have said....IMO style is everything when it comes to that type of "non-hammer" skating...and while I love to watch Leo Valls cause he flows, well I won't rewatch that one.
also stair tricks landed on the middle of the last stair are still a big no no for me. Loved the powerslide to ollie thing though, don't recall seing that one before!

yeah, the magenta/ Gou Miyagi influences were clearly worn on sleeve for this one, but for me to pull off that style you need FLOW and some of that just felt plain clunky. Still better than anything my old arse is doing though...

Cool part, looked like they were genuinely having fun skateboarding, not sure how anyone can hate on that…

I guess so, but I agree with horses and ray on this one. I just want to watch the whole video, like the premiere, to get the whole vibe of there in the complete format. And breaking it up across Jenkem/Thrasher also seems to fracture it - I’m guessing you’d get alot more views on Thrasher, I wonder who decides who goes where, which obviously this will impact views, exposure, pro board sales etc. How does Marbie get relegated to second tier exposure on Jenkem, honestly!

I watched Kien, but now I’m going to wait til the full length to drop, rather than ruin it. Guess im old, but I don’t want to ruin the movie by watching all the partial scenes. Looking forward to it. Besides, can’t they just drop the individual parts after the full length? They really are ruining skateboarding ;D

I back Kien.

That 5oh front 3 needs to be taken to all spots!!! That was beautiful imo.

The white sweater with the two flowers is fit of the year for sure.

Skateboarding got ruined by the berries. Everyone knows that. There’s more than 10 tricks in skateboarding and now there’s no limit on what you can wear as a professional like it was in the 80s but better.

The only skateboarding law I think about and adhere to is the forbidden 14. I take ledges kinda seriously.

I hope everyone is doing alright out there. I’m fighting for peace still but I’m feeling dashed upon the rocks.

Wow....the video is an hour long! Props for putting out a full length.

Just Jeff Cheung part. Had no idea he rips. I just thought he was an art director and owner.

That was a beautiful full length

Chandler is so underrated.  Jeff’s part got me in the feels.  The team is so well fit together.  B-roll was excellent. Great edit and music here, often trancended into some really emotional moments, like the outro especially with all that 16mm.  Leo’s herb alpert part was rad and Nadair was a revelation.  Very happy for There and Unity joining DLX.  The vid is wonderful

I go back and forth on the forbidden 14 . I’ve always hated board slides on ledges but lip and back lip while not always looking the best aren’t exactly super easy on ledges. Maybe I’m biased at the moment after watching that glick rough cut he had a bunch of tricks that just looked good.

Hope you find your peace soon friend . Dealing with the same shit the last few weeks.
