Paul Fucking Rod. that was pretty sick.
i really enjoyed it. some damn amazing
skateboarding in there. also, i think it's
funny that these two eastern european
whiteboys are more gangster than Rob
neil. he rips and seems like a good kid.

Also no Shane??? Looks like something is in the brewing..

Video was good, but some thoughts:

Franky V could not be a more awkward fit on Primitive.

Way too much drone footage and city scape b-roll; let’s just see the fucking skating please.

Trent McClung is really good and had the most “wow” tricks for me.

Paul is still on top of his game.

There’s no way Diego is anyone’s favorite skater.

These guys are all exceptionally good at skateboarding, but this company and video have no real appeal aesthetically; they’re like the Golden State Warriors of skateboarding.

Yes, I’m sure this footage of young people traveling, sometimes even to sunny locales, to get footage flipping their boards and doing actual tricks would be a very traumatic watch for Mr. Puleo.

Well it is 30 minutes long...
Can't wait to watch this, Primitive is not my favorite company but I do like the shit they put out and the riders they have, and the fact they put a 30 minute video in 3 months is sick. Hell if I were to find one of their boards at a good price I'd skate it.

that prod part really shows how much more exciting street footage is. Couldn't have cared less about his skating for the last couple years when all he did was streetleague and this just made me a fan again. That shuvit nose grind back heel was just amazing

Whole video was a treat. will be rewatching wade part a bunch

I'm less than two minutes in and I just wanted to point out that the first song was also the first song in the GX vid and the second song was in one of LurkNYC's full lengths. Take that as you will.

Post by: Tyroneshoelaces on June 11, 2018, 01:49:26 PM
that was really, really good.  i skipped around at first and went back and watched it later.  some really sick shit.

 Maybe i'm a cornball but i like the B-roll clips of the cities.  I'm an avid traveler and i actually enjoy it when the editor quickly references the city via a skyline or landmark for the footage that was filmed there.  Meza used to that in the classic crail tours, i'm a fan.

Wades switch  Fs Biggie on flat is probably my favorite trick in there haha.

I'm not all that into the "fresh" thing, but there's something about Primitive that's refreshing to me. I guess I just appreciate that they're all about the skating without the need for a gimmick.

Also, P-ROD THE GOD. I feel like any footage from him nowadays is a blessing, and I'm just thankful he's still out there absolutely crushing it even though he doesn't really need to anymore.

I loved Trent's stuff. 270 noseblunt back to switch stance was nice, fakie fs shov nosegrind biggie out, a lot of cool looking tricks that I haven't seen before. Also Wade  8) ;D

But why is Bastien on this team, for his name? He released one short intro part and nothing after that, footage in this wasn't that good either. P-rod footage was golden

good to see p rod not at a skatepark. he did some really sick stuff - switch back smith 360 out especially.

franky v has my favorite part and song in this, he can get tech in his own low key way.

devine footy is always something golden, glad he’s back.

Always blows my mind how many Slap heads seem to love Franky Vilani. Can't stand his style and most of his trick selection.

Devine looks like a weird alien but his skating was surprisingly decent.

Bastian was underwhelming. Has he put out a proper part since that Flip footage got released 10 years late.

P Rod killed it. Love the switch fs blunt flip out. So fast and landed so far past the end of the ledge.

All in all, the skating all felt a bit similar. Lots of goofy footed skaters doing bs 180 nosegrind variations. Too many 5cm long tech grind/slide combos.

Not sure why I watched this as I knew it wasn't my thing even before hand.

Post by: lickcakes on June 11, 2018, 09:47:36 PM
This is really stupid, but I never gave a shit about Paul Rodriguez Jr. until this part. I've always respected his skill, but I've never been excited by his skating at all. This part was fucking crazy, especially since I didn't expect him to keep up progression-wise with the kids today.

Fuck yes to Devine Calloway, Frankie Villani, and Trent McClung.

Wow, that was really great and I'm so happy.

Post by: Zurg on June 11, 2018, 10:10:22 PM
Very surprised by the Calloway part. It was pretty dope too. Might not have been his best, but I’m always stoked on wade footage. And of course as everyone else mentioned, prod was a nice surprise. I wanna like Trent, but find him hard to care about for whatever reason. Carlos was sick as well, almost forgot about him

It was cool to see P-Rod skating the back of those bleachers like back in the Forecast days.  Trent McClung is amazing.  His style is unique (in a good way, imo) and he does his tricks perfectly.  I don’t get the Diego hate, that motherfucker is next level.

The video has an extremely clean feel to it. I usually like the dirtier more random aesthetic of anti-hero, gx videos or the old stereo videos, but this somehow felt cool. Even the way they used the drone shots seemed right.

i think hes like a boss at the end of a video game, maybe like mega man. has all of the weapons, does lots of damage, and a lots of hp. it'd feel weird if he didnt have the last part, but then again, andrew reynolds in baker 3 was somewhere in the middle.

They went in on this shit. Trent McClung suprisingly had my favorite part outside of P.Rod. They might’ve cracked the code with the 90 day/30min video format. Fans still get a “full length” vid while the pros don’t have to bust their ass for a year or more just for a few weeks of hype. Their riders are prolific enough to do these kinds of vids every few months or so it’ll be interesting to see if they do more vids like this in the future

Yeah i always think todays pro's could put out a lot more fun interesting footage than before, we don't need everything to be groundbreaking progression, just well thought out and produced videos showing us what they've been doing. it seems like so many dudes are focused on this epic part that people will speak about for years to come formula that sometimes dudes are major pros for 10+ years and we really only have 2-3 video parts of that person, and i hate that concept so much.

I can understand exactly how they fit into the timeline of skate history. Plan B resurges and fails to become the incredible beastly super power it once was, and Paul Rodriguez begins the new Girl.

That said, that McClung kids skating makes my legs hurt and they film him from horrible angles that definitely focus on his knees.

It looks like every last movement and gesture that Wade makes on a skateboard is meticulously calculated to come off like he's not trying. It's pretty funny.

Franky Villiani is so bad. Style,  kits,  trick selection,  green wheels and fuckin misfits grip. just awful.

Devine was my favorite and I was feeling McClung too. and prod!

It looks like they filmed this over a very short period of time. Obviously Nick Tucker is super good but it was weird to see a switch heelflip over a 6-7 stair rail in a big company video in 2018

I don't really have an opinion on Big L in skate vids but it always stands out as awkward when white guys skate to tracks with like 5 aggressive N bombs in the chorus

Villani definitely does not fit with the aesthetic of the rest of the team, what with his creativity, Misfits grip, and jeans. However, I think Primitive does well to get a bit more style diversity. When you see all this footage crammed back to back to back... all the swishy pants, dangling hat straps, and end-of-ledge trickery gets a little numbing.

That said, Nick Tucker and Trent stood out from the pack. The Rodriguez closer was pretty classy.

I love when you search "Paul Rodriguez" in Google Images it's a mix of him and his dad.

The ams are blowing the pros outta the water SO hard, haha. I guess the same can be said about most modern companies, but it was especially apparent in this video. I was so happy to see over a minute of Devine!

Speaking of pros, it seems like Brian Peacock got really lucky turning pro when he did. If they had found some of these other guys before they turned him pro, he probably woulda been doomed to eternal am status. What does SLAP think of Brian Peacock, anyway? I have a hunch that he is generally more disliked than liked on here. I think he's aight.

This was pretty unbelievable, was expecting a low-key tour video and woah. Some thoughts:

Carlos Riberio does everything absolutely perfect.
Wade is cool I guess but he does that thing where he pulls up his pant leg before a trick and it’s cringey. Same with Diego.
I’m not a fan of Nick Tucker but jesus that part was gnarly.
Robert Neal is forgettable.
Devine with that line on the high benches!
McClung is soo damn good. This and his 1947 part make him one of the most talented guys out right now.
Some of my fav footage P Rod has put out thus far. That switch bs smith back 360 omg.

i liked him when he first showed up, maybe the novelty of truly not being able to discern his stance. now i'm kinda not a fan. there's no power to his skating and he always spins counter clockwise. he still puts out some mind benders though.

I understand why people dislike this, but it feels much better bending for a trick when your leg has room in your pant to bend.

I think he’s still the shit, although this wasn’t his best footage.  That Something Sinister part made me a lifelong
fan.

This rundown matches my own impressions so well it is almost a little bit weird.

What I love about Ribeiro is that he can Switch Bs Tailslide Kickflip that tall ledge and then do a skewed Fs Lipslide on a long rail and it still makes sense.

I have never been a fan of Paul Rodriguez's skating but this has left a strong impression with me, I much prefer his style now than when he was younger and the trick selection in this part is beautiful.

i'd also like to thank Carlos Ribeiro for not wearing swishy pants in one clip despite being on Nike, good move mate. It's still not a great look but can we all agree he is at least the best dressed Brazilian pro.

Seriously I’ve seen him at the vans park and he does the hardest shit just cruising around. It’s rad . I like his weird quick foot dork trick lines a lot too. Also wade is just amazing glad he’s on a company where we get consistent footage now.

Only like two things about the video that kinda took away from it: excessive drone shots and a lack of spot diversity. I don't think there was one bank in that whole video.

When Brian peacock first came out it was insane, it seemed like he could do anything and was stanceless. After a while though all the spinning on the ground and not really popping his 270's out of stuff (inevitably some sort of switch back tail) along with a really repetitive trick selection has left him meh for the most part in my book. The tailslide to fakie nosemanny 180 drop down to nosemanny was crazy though.

That was definitely my favorite p-rod footage to date. No laser flips or nollie late flips and just really properly executed tricks.

Sick

Always blows my mind how many Slap heads seem to love Franky Vilani. Can't stand his style and most of his trick selection.

Devine looks like a weird alien but his skating was surprisingly decent.

Bastian was underwhelming. Has he put out a proper part since that Flip footage got released 10 years late.

P Rod killed it. Love the switch fs blunt flip out. So fast and landed so far past the end of the ledge.

All in all, the skating all felt a bit similar. Lots of goofy footed skaters doing bs 180 nosegrind variations. Too many 5cm long tech grind/slide combos.

Not sure why I watched this as I knew it wasn't my thing even before hand.

Bastian had an very hard knee injuriy for the last 2,5 Years. glad to see him skate again

and yes he had an full part on Jart a couple years ago  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ek91PLK1Zk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ek91PLK1Zk)

Thank you for posting this. When healthy he is a fucking beast!! Those high speed kf back tails and the fucking cab flips!!

Obviously centered around ledges and benches, but it's not like they didn't leave LA. By the way, Bastien does a Bs Double Kickflip on a bank, and Trent does a Fs Bigspin bank to bank.

Alright but that's two tricks in a half hour. Might be the most ledge-centric video I've ever seen

P rod hear me out. Your brands strange. Like i know one guy atmy local who digs it. But let this next part overshadow what feelings you have towards aforementioned tenfold - you are, have been, and will be a complete gift to skateboarding. You are one of the best ever. Thankyou.

I fucking loved this video but I’m  sad at the lack of praise for Robert Neal. He has quite possibly the best style ever.

I also love anytime someone does a nollie front heel over something skinny (like a bump to pole or in this part, over that pimple).

I don’t know. I guess I just like how he does shit in a super different way than most but still makes it look super sick. Like the switch heel down the double set in the intro, the switch varial heel down that three block in China, or the nollie big heel @13:58

Damn that was sick. Primitive more or less coming correct with todays version of a full-length. Franky is a breath of fresh air on this team of nollie inwardheel noseslides, and I hope he bounces to Shanes new thing.
Was bummed to have no Prod footage until the afterblack part. He sure came through and produced a pretty sick street part after saying that he was over it. That was tight.

I don't think Carlos Ribeiro popped a single trick regular. I don't really like that but he also undoubtedly killed it.

EDIT: Fuck I hadn't seen the front lip. That was tight.
