hopefully with non fucked up footage of Tyshawns sw ollie over the table, the long way
-
Stoked. I still re-watch Blessed often enough.
Sage part skating to Navy Blue?
No Nak footy?
Another Rowan part?
KB three song ender?

unless there's a lifelike replica of a california schoolyard in Berlin, i don't believe that clip is gonna be in here

NEW! EDUCATIONAL | A raw study of stern expressions from eccentric handsome skateboarders with occasional street skateboard maneuvers
-
Really hope Vincent proves me wrong for thinking he's been bumming around since Blessed. Also want as much Caleb and Stain footage as possible
-
full kevin bradley part please.
-
You know this will have 10% skating compared to 90% who gives a fuck
-

Vincent did his ACL.
Also seems like people are jumping the gun, again. It looks to be just a Berlin video.
-
Here for the KB vax footy.
-
I hope they edit it better this time, I couldn't even watch that video they did in Italy because the beginning was so boring. Or maybe I just thought that because I was stoned, either way, less lifestyle shots of people missing tricks and more skating.

He had a part in John’s Vid.

That was all old footage though, he was still riding 917 boards in every clip

Supreme Spar collab is going to go hard, both their box logos conjoined and plastered everywhere

Dream on. I'll take Kader and or Rowan though.

tyshawn and kader are who i see being the front runners. kader has progressed so much since baker 4 and hasnt put out a part since and tyshawn hasn’t had a part since blessed.

Dude is just coming back from an acl surgery, also he had a part in 917 II that was after blessed right?

Oh great. A fashion show.

Hey not to state the obvious but you guys know that the video is related to Supreme's opening a new store in Berlin, right?
https://hypebeast.com/2021/8/supreme-berlin-germany-store-opening-rumor-info
-
I wonder if another full length is in the works similar to blessed and cherry. These store opening promos are cool but full parts are cooler.
-
The one they did in Italy was hard to watch. Simply to much mediocre skating, with guys who didn't have enough style to pull that off. Are they opening a shop in Berlin now or what?

Hyped that they’re finally getting Casper, Mike and Kyron in the mix. Don’t know what the fuck took them so long.

I'm banging back a shot each time Bill slow-mo's a nipple shot. Gonna be lit!!!

it's honestly getting so ridiculous i cant stand it anymore.
Anyways, stoked to see it looks like Casper Brooker is in the mix
Very excited for Rowan and Nik footy and others as well

Yes, Daniel Pannemann did it almost 10 years ago, in a kingpin edit.

i think if sometihng hasnt been done in 10+ years its considered NBD again and you can use it as a "tribute"

I feel like girls that don't skate get just as excited for supreme videos as dudes that do skate.

supreme is under a binding agreement with me to never open a storefront here

That was the first that came to my mind. So maybe this will be like the Milan video, bunch of well known supreme pros wiith some locals in the mix.... according to IG stories Casper, Kyron where there, so will be a blessing have footage of them.

I expect that this Berlin trip montage will be a full length video with full parts from anyone that has ever been in a supreme store.

I’ve clowned V-plug a lot on here in the past but I think it’s more so the opposite, homie is a free agent, much too free and insanely talented to be subsumed by another “crew” under someone else’s dumb brand. He deserves his own dumb brand.

Bullshit? I wouldn't be so quick to say that. I definitely remember Torey Pudwill saying Hyun told him point blank he "didn't do sponsors".

All that rich dad story - cmon how much money you need to be independent from
a Board / Shop sponsor - you receive max free gear and maybe 300 - 500per month.
Far from rich myself - have just my regular income - I have no worries to buy boards and clothing.
Both partnerships only makes sense if you really hang with the people and like them / want to go on tours with them.
Pudwill was just starting Thankyou or something - nothing I would be hyped to be associated with.
And Supreme -NY shop sponsor if you are living in Berlin...
this guy is selective who is collaborating with - which makes sense if its only about some peanuts like usually in skateboarding.
I think he have an agreement with Nike - which makes sense for a guy with such a social media output.
For sure if you "want to make it" in California as the new Am - you need to collect all checks possible to survive in greater
LA Area.
But in Berlin you can do your own thing with a regular income.
I am only interested in a Surpreme video from Berlin if they hook up people from berlin and show new spots.

they are opening a store in Berlin and the video would likely showcase some local skaters as well as a few clips of the American Pros if it follows the format of Candyland or Stallion which i imagine it will

That comment is pretty broad mate. Correct me if I’m wrong but most Europeans have to prove themselves twice to make it in skateboarding, once in Europe and then again in America, regardless of what you think, that simply how it is. Or are you making a statement about their economies in comparison??

The statement is really litte to easy.
But you can have a pretty decent lifestyle studying in Berlin - and skating as much in between.
Compared trying to become a pro skateboarder in LA.
Worst case scenario in Berlin is you didn't skate that much as expected and finish your studies and start a professional carrier after skateboarding.
Worst case in LA is you throw yourself gaps and rails for years, sleeping on a couch and ending on gofound me for your hospital bills with only some flow sponsor donating 50bucks.
becoming a pro skateboarder I Europe is more difficult then in the US, but making money outside of skateboarding to finance a skateboarding lifestyle for a couple of years is really easy.
if you study you have free health care and don't pay that much taxes - so working 2 month and doing 4 month off was my lifestyle for 4 years. Its also possible to finance a semester or intern abroad in Barcelona/ Praha / Copenhagen for example via Erasmus scholarship. which even looks good on your resume.

yeah of course, but living expenses are pretty high in the US, which might be even more pronounced in southern California- for instance, and significantly higher compared to Germany.

For sure - if you compare America with Europe in general YES But not if you compare LA vs Berlin which is one of the cheapest capitals in the world. Even Barcelona is cheaper then LA, SF or NY just in living cost.
If you decide to work you can finance yourself everywhere - but then you have not enough time left to focus „fully“ on skateboarding from 16-24
Compare cost for studies in a university in LA with Berlin. University is for free.
So for a Young talented skater from Germany 16-24- like Hyun it is financially not so interesting to make the move to the US trying to start a career in Skateboarding.

I've lived in SF bay area which is more expensive per SQFT. since the 90s Skated through my 20s no problem and had no issues with living expenses.
Besides Germany is a country where most people dont laugh and take shit way too seriously, lacks the ethnic diversity that you'd find in coastal US cities, just way more shit you can do here in america besides just skating all day

A lot of great skating slaughtered by bad filming. The typical Supreme treatment unfortunately. Sage had some great stuff, I really hope we get another proper part from him. All the tricks at the spot up the stairs, if I wasn't familiar with that spot already I think I'd underestimate how fucked up they were. Kader had some amazing stuff too, Rowan as well. The usual fare.
-
Whoever showed Bill dutch angles has blood on their hands. Skating was good though, happy to see that they brought out some of the little Milan homies.
-
Bloby Greg is the spotter ya want, that side step gallop was ready to save anyone.
Intro song got me jacked up too
-
Best video of theirs since cherry.
Really leaning into the crooked filming on this one but overall better filming and editing than fat william’s usual output.
Tyshawn is my favorite contemporary skateboarder.

i couldnt agree more. this is the first time for me that its become unwatchable.

I like calebs skating and his hair cut is cool but he do be looking like lisa simpson a little bit
-
troy gibsons accidental heelflip underflip was pretty fuckin bonkers.
-
(Attn: major hate incoming)
Even worse than the italy video...
The sideways filming must stop now and if it becomes a trend bills legacy will be burned in my books.
He makes those stair/gap spots look so fucking small, plus the flytecc crew (and i'm sure generations of berlin skaters before them) have already destroyed those spots making this seem almost like a second-tier video.
The close up of the girl in the car with childs laughter was extremely creepy, as was filming that woman with the glasses who didn't want to be filmed, then cutting to a another attempt of caleb who seemingly took a long time to land that back heel based on the change in light. In my opinion he’s not a very good skateboarder and doesn’t even have good style. If he wore different clothes and didn’t have a gold tooth a lot less people would care about him.
Nik Stain is probably bummed on that stupid editing of his face.
More troy would have been nice, he's really good
-
Filming bad
Skating good

I enjoyed that a lot more than the last few Supreme videos.
Where the hell did that Nik Stain 50-50 come from?
-
best supreme vid in a minute
like the berlin spots a lot, wanna skate there really bad now
some heavy stuff. seems like bill is bored and was trying some new shit. im pretty neutral on it
TJ's last trick up the stairs was replayed more than couple times.

True! Unfortunately I couldn’t find the whole video ,but this is willows part from panorama.almost every trick is abd in that video and it’s 17 years old.
I‘m kind of used to bills filming style at this Point, but please stop filming underaged girls!!!

skipped through on mute during class. So much incredible skating ruined by terrible filming and that stupid fucking purple color correction. Waste of my time I should've just paid attention to my professor instead.

Mike Arnold killed it

Fat bill has got to stop filming at dusk with no lights man. Some of these clips just look horrible, filming aside.
Pretty nice vid though.

The same colours, the same textures, the same people, the same (or worse) filming, the monotonous music coupled with old school hiphop. The formula is dead now Bill. For me this was like the equivalent of watching Sucui or even Nyjah, it switched off my mind and didn't make me feel or remember anything. That's weird as well cause I live for a lot of these skaters, it's honestly amazing to see them filmed under anyone else's gaze nowadays.
It's like Tyshawn grew tall but Bill carried on shooting him with the same framing. I literally watch these videos with my one finger on the right arrow to fastforward the slo motion, spliff toking, tampered with lighter mumbo jumbo.
Anyway I know many people will have a problem with my opinion but I just think it's me growing up with and then growing out of his shtick.
EDIT: "He's just filming close ups of his surroundings man.. it's not about the trick so much as it's about the environment and the atmosphere" .... cut to Bill filming in an extreme close up of some random young lady while she's walking past trying to cover her face from him at 16:50....
-
fat bill stole eds schtick of filming underage people in the name of 'art', and it's tired as hell
-
i love that bill is for sure intentionally trolling everyone with those crooked roll up shots.
Nik stain is the best

Whoever showed Bill dutch angles has blood on their hands.
wow strobeck really found a way to make his videos less watchable
-
Crazy how the video has possibly the best (at least for me) lineup of skaters, but I still struggled to make it through the whole thing. Beyond bored of Fat Bill's shit filming, and it's long past time he stopped making women feel uncomfortable by filming them like some leering voyeuristic creep, as if he's not enough of a nonce spending all his time grooming children
-
Mike Arnold killed it
His back smith may have been the highlight for me, esp after that slam
-
I think the next step for bill would be to zoom out then zoom in quickly upon impact of landing a trick like pro wrestling lol
Welcome back Sage

His sister made it to the met gala she’s bangin
Dr Octo instrumentals was sick
The hardies grip is too much. Love Tyshawn and one of the best but damn too much going on visually with his kits
Nice to see some Touz
-
I really liked that. I think I've finally learned that his videos are made for watching on a big ass TV. No more laptop Strobeck for me.
-
Seeing Caleb and TJ skate to Erykah makes sense for some reason.
Overall felt the same way about it that I do Stallion.
Someone take the camera away from Bill.
-
Mike Arnold slam/back smith
Rowan's clips are always amazing
Kader nollie inward
Really appreciated the one single line filmed following Caleb even if the line was meh. Probably the only clip where someone is in full frame the entire time.
Pretty sure every trick down those two sets in a row are ABD
Did not need to see that one dude fuck up his knee
Creepy close of that woman was hard to watch
His filming style is so played out at this point
Awful acapella rap song
-
mind goblin these nuts tyshawn is a goat and i’m so stoked we didn’t see a 5050 front shove from beatrice

I thought it was great. I hate the zoom filming but didn’t mind it as much here. Slow mo on TJ as sister Christian kicks in is hilarious. The white guy bobbing his head was also awesome. Lots of good footage of stain, Arnold, and others. I can do without the sections of people doing trick after trick down the same gap but it can make you feel like you’re on the session which is neat. I liked this a lot more than Milan.
-
filming ruled, skating ruled, still love the zoom, awesome video. not even the biggest fan of fat bill but he shines in his lane. can see why people don’t fuck with it, but if that’s the case you can always go watch a zero video. rocked.

watched it again because school is boring and i liked it more
mike's slappy to nollie back tail thing got me so hyped to skate
rachid's huge slappy 50, the crazy rails Ben and Nik hits, all got me psyched to skate
would love to see a full length from the team and not just a bunch of shop opening vids each year

i think the whole shop in berlin thing has been very lowkey for supreme. the box logo is just green and they almost dont show any local skaters as far as i can tell. makes it a little less special to me. everyone complaining about nbds is just annoying who cares. its 20 min of good skating and the spots have been killed in the video. harder to skate than it looks very impressive. tyshawn nollie tre was sick and i really like nik stains 50-50 down the kinked rail. kader is so good switch fs flip to fs flip was a.highlight and caleb had some good tricks in there too. seemed like the sun was almost gone for lots of tricks. liked the editing. overall 7/10 video
liked the line up of skaters but makes me wonder why they didnt include german skater? saw a photo on instagram that showed a team including hyuns brother jun

-
It can’t be overstated how bad this filming is. I cannot wait for the day where skateboarding collectively realizes how bad it is. Indefensible.
-
bill's filming has become a parody of itself and as others have mentioned, it's borderline unwatchable at this point. honestly insane to think that this is the same dude who did Photosynthesis. the creepy shit gotta stop too. there wasn't as much focus on homeless people in this video as in the past, but that shit is fucking lame too. I don't think I inherently hate the zoomed in style as much as everyone else but he clearly takes it too far. I get that the vibe of Supreme videos is supposed to be a little less trick-focused and like avant-garde or whatever but there's a scale and it has definitely tipped haha
that being said, tons of great skating in here. Tyshawn can nollie tre up a 7-stair lol wild that some people still don't put respect on his name. also T-Gip is already a legend and I will inject any footy I can get from him into my veins. Supreme's team is incredible and hope to see a proper full-length from them soon, hopefully with some adjustments made on the filming and content lol
-
Usually it's the bad filming that bothers me throughout his videos. Now it's that god awful magenta filter he's adding in. What the fuck is that all about?

Better than the Italy video he put out before, filming was about as expected. Skating was great but holy Christ that meek mill “song” is horrible, I had no idea people outside Philly listened to the noise he emits. End of the video is sick on mute

Cool vid, heavy skating from everybody involved!
I can already feel that all the lil' Strobecks are rotating their cameras at home trying to get to those sweet dutch angles though...

Yeah I'm with everyone who hated on this. Now all the Bill copycats are gonna be holding their cameras sideways.

Auguste Bouznad, a Paris skater/République local, he has some genuinely sick arm steeze and I have watched his crews edits over the past two years or so. Was bummed to see that and I don’t even cringe at most slams, but felt gross or distasteful because of how severe it was versus the goofy editing.

Thanks! Yeah, verry. I felt it. I was squirming around at my desk. His eyes. Been there. Hope he's ok. About to watch those videos.

It would’ve been way more interesting and memorable if he just filmed like every other filmer and threw some Alex G in there. Maybe took out the clips of women and replaced them with b-roll of random architecture and the skaters high-fiving each other. That’s the stuff that really stands the test of time and people talk about for years to come.

I know what I’m about to say is something that’s not appropriate for 2021 standards…

now that we're pretty deep into these strobeck/supreme productions, it's interesting to see how they cycle skaters in and out of the core group. used to be very sage/sean/tyshawn/kb/aidan heavy, then as the magic wore off with those guys they loop in the french guys, then the ny guys, then the trad skate industry guys like kader and rowan. they need to keep it fresh so now there is some atlantic drift guys, some milan guys. now it looks like strobeck is trying to recapture some of that original magic around seven/troy.
which ultimately makes the violet experiment kinda interesting because what's gonna happen in 5 years when whole team has too much facial hair and they're jaded with skating?

That was hard to watch, some good skating ruined by making a lookbook instead of an skate video.

Pretty good skating ruined by shitty filming. He played Beatrice out by only using her for B-Roll footage. Dutch angles are used to portray tension and I feel like I got a tension headache from watching this shit. Glad to see Sage on a board though and the more Troy footage the better.

I watched it on my phone and couldn’t see shit. So I watched it on my modest sized TV and it was 200% better.
I kinda liked it. Kaders nollie inward heel looked so good but probably because it was filmed KINDA normal.
That kid asking for the autograph looked like the dude from Entourage lol.
Casper, K-rod and Nic footy is always a win. And that back smith after the slam was amazing

I used to be able to tolerate strobecks filming, but it's getting more ridiculous with every edit. He's literally spinning his camera with the aggressive zoom now, it's like he's a parody of himself at this point. He totally botched Tyshawn's 3 tricks up that set of stairs, and they were all fucking nuts. Hardflip, nollie hard flip, nollie Tre. Some of the hardest tricks to do up things IMO.
-
And his music choices have gone from nostalgic to just fucking corny. Wtf was with him filming that woman trying to hide her face?

I think the next offering should be even more avant-garde. Filmed completely upside down, viewers will have to physically move their tv or do a headstand.
You arrive at your friends apartment to go skating. You open the door to find 3 of your friends tandem headstanding watching the video in silence.
Just before the credits roll, "fin" appears on the screen in the fanciest of cursive. But like, upside down.
A true cinematic masterpiece.

I'd unironically love if Bill said "fuck it" and made a fully freaked, avant-garde skate video. Give me all the fucked angles and crazy filtering to the point that the skating is completely illegible, and make it an hour long please.

Major shoutout to Troy, his ender and Nik Stain’s kinker 5050 were my favorite clips. Nice to see Casper and Marnold too. That back smith was incredible.
Didn’t care for the filming or edit. One could argue “If you don’t like it why don’t you watch something else” but it’s a bummer cause I like all these skaters. Bill’s shtick is to be expected every time with these videos but god damn has it gotten annoying.

This is not the videos like the ones I watched 20 years ago, but I feel that Strobek is pushing the medium to progress I guess? Soon he will hit the right combo and make a classic?
It's like all the stuff kids are into these days. I don't understand it, I don't want to understand it, but they are doing their thing and taking things where they want them to go.
And whilst Strobek is older than me, maybe the supreme riders are influencing how he makes these videos. I like how they sort of have a feel of being there, despite how I really don't like just seeing feet and board.
I don't know, the only thing I can hate on really is all the slowmo, close up smoking shit and maybe filming people who don't want to be filmed.
Also I only watched bits and pieces of this whilst I was busy cleaning so I missed most of it

At this point maybe they could make one edit for skaters and one for hypebeasts. The latter could be filmed like this shitshow, have lots of joint smoking and cool guying in between and be sold for $100 in supreme stores.
The other could be half as long with angles where you can actually see everything and put on youtube. This way everyone would be happy.
-
At this point it feels like Bill knows that the zoom ins and voyeurism will get us talking which will invariably get more eyes on the video, so we're probably all just getting played. I don't understand why you'd want to get more eyes on footage you can barely tell what's happening in it, but hey, I'm not a filmer.
-
What Supreme riders absolutely hate having their tricks filmed by Strobeck, but are too afraid to say anything? I just can't imagine doing some of those tricks and watching them back on his camera and being happy.

I enjoyed it, honestly. The style and effects may be a bit much at some points... but I like that more than the 'everything has to be ultra HD' aesthetic of Pretty Sweet (which looked clinical and awful). This gets your blood pumping to skate, although not sure about that acapella freestyle that felt a bit out of place.
Another observation is that these dudes are super productive. They flew to Berlin and handled business and got clips. A lot of NBDs in there as well at spots like Polendenkmal and Baustelle. Rowen's switch 50-50 down that angled Hubba and the manual next to the stairs come to mind.
But yeah, does anyone know how long they had to film this?
The filming is comically bad in some places and I agree that a second long-lens shot would do the skater and trick better justice. But ey, free skate video full of bangers. I appreciate it. Now watching Palace, what a week!
-
can't wait to see the next wave of videos by bill-biters barrel rolling their cameras while fully zoomed!! great lifestyle marketing for supreme, awful viewing experience for anyone interested in the skaters that ride for them.

One good thing to come out of this video.
They used the song tony t is singing on the BMX in the back garden in tent city.
Thus I revisited tenty city immediately after.

Was about to post this... love Knxwledge.
Overall I think this supreme vid had the least amount of actual skating than any other. Very meh considering how good the skaters are. I like the overall aesthetics of Bill's filming from the cinematography standpoint, like the saturation, tone, color, etc, but yeah, not to beat a dead horse... but I'd like to see the whole skater doing the trick. Especially since the talent level of this crew is crazy.
Jagger should hire him to film... if we only saw his feet, might not think his style is so wonky haha

Watching a Strobeck video and then complaining about the filming is like going swimming then complaining about getting wet.

People gotta start really making fun of these guys for allowing the prime footage of their careers to be butchered by this dude. His whole style is going to age really poorly, especially now that it has completely stopped evolving. It’s no longer the fringe new thing. It’s the established, rehashed, corny thing that now needs to be supplanted by something new.
Ok I feel better.
-
This is not the videos like the ones I watched 20 years ago, but I feel that Strobek is pushing the medium to progress I guess? Soon he will hit the right combo and make a classic?
It's like all the stuff kids are into these days. I don't understand it, I don't want to understand it, but they are doing their thing and taking things where they want them to go.
You could say the same about Ty Evans post Modus, and while FF and Yeah Right are classics to most people, he kept on trying to be innovative with filming and most people hate his output post Fully Flared.

Go on lead the charge, DM all the people in the video making fun of them for filming with Bill Strobeck. Ignore that they might be completely fine with the way that he films, bully them until they quit or make a public statement.

I honestly don’t mind the imperfect/chaotic style of filming that he's come to be known for, I understand why it would frustrate a lot of people but there's something about it that makes it way more immersive to me.

Yeah agreed, I was just trying to put a positive spin on the video as there was so much raggin on it. There's no way he's making a future classic, there was so many butchered tricks in this, someone may as well Photoshop Strobeks head on Daniel Day Lewis from GoNY

Video had great skating and music, but why the fuck did he add a shot of a little girl in a car (15:07) and a girl walking down the street who clearly didn’t wanna be on camera? (16:53)

I get the feeling Bill's contract with Supreme is about to expire and he is trying to figure out what's next. All this color grading is like a passage to getting familiar with what ever Violet is going to be. Like a commercial inside a commercial. Guess we will see. Seven and Troy are sick.
Is the last clip hinting who is going to film/edit future skate videos for Supreme?

You guys act as if he secretly filmed them taking a dump. They’re like 10 second clips that barely even show their faces. Are we forgetting that basically every skate video ever shows non-skaters who likely don’t want to be filmed?
-
that switch 50 from rowan is gnarly and is filmed better than 99 % of skateboarding tricks out there.
for that alone the strobeck hate is clearly the over the top answer of anti hype skaters against something that they fear to loose.
remember the pyrmid county era when all of you cool skateboard filmers felt so indie when you flipped your camera over mid line or zoomed in and out of a pattern for some cool transistons between clips? you felt so indie and artistic back than.
trying new things and filters is so sick when its not funded by hype

It would’ve been way more interesting and memorable if he just filmed like every other filmer and threw some Alex G in there. Maybe took out the clips of women and replaced them with b-roll of random architecture and the skaters high-fiving each other. That’s the stuff that really stands the test of time and people talk about for years to come.

If that were the case I’d have understood the impulse to film them more, since the kinds of pedestrian cameos typical in skate edits involve them doing something outrageous or interesting, consciously interacting with the crew, not just being stared at because of their youthful female faces. Its a pattern of Bill’s from previous vids, and just because people clown it or it makes them uncomfortable doesn’t mean they’re accusing him of actual heinous shit. Its just a heinous played out look for your art.

It has to do with the intent. It's a clip to just look cool, and at the cost of someone else. Something like the two kids talking in candyland was much more memorable, and impactful while still being tasteful. These clips are nonsense with a net negative to push an image.

I'd unironically love if Bill said "fuck it" and made a fully freaked, avant-garde skate video. Give me all the fucked angles and crazy filtering to the point that the skating is completely illegible, and make it an hour long please.

You described anyone who had something negative to say about the video to a tee, definitely not “making up a guy in my head to shit on” syndrome. Except multiple dudes in this edit have skated to said music in said jeans with said beverages on camera. Cut to said sexy woman.
Your stan’d out defense of the hottest most popular video by one of the wealthiest companies in skating is funny, you must be really invested in their price-hiked regurgitations and recycles of basic cool shit from the past 25 years, as if that’s the bar for appreciating cinematography. Guessing until recently you’d never been exposed to high art and media, outside of the second-hand charade in Supreme’s advertising? Yes, paint all of us as backwards and aesthetically illiterate so you can flatter yourself as sophisticated for buying in to a streetwear marketing campaign that we think is silly and taints the actual substance of the matter, which is the skating.

to be fair I think that david beckham raises a good point. there is a conservative mindset and approach to skating that is, although venerable in some respects, stuck in its ways, prescribed, and uncreative. I mean to say this with as little negative connotation as possible.
then there are people who try to make something different/change the way people think about skateboarding and represent it, which is always a creative endeavor, for better or for worse.
and I kinda agree with david beckham. people who are stuck in an uncreative, bros n beer-style, skate paradigm are pretty lame.

Practically nobody here would disagree with that.
Pretending that the only people who would criticize aspects of this video are necessarily in some anti-intellectual and culturally conservative “beers and bro” camp, as opposed to those who like it as the smart and bold ones, is a massively reaching straw-man and bonafide exercise in self-flattery.
If you’ve actually tricked yourselves into believing this is about upholding aesthetic values against an “attack of the bumpkins,” when what you’re really defending is re-packaged watered down coolness sold back to primarily anxious FOMO-ridden phillistine teenaged suburbanites, that’s a truly poetic self-own.

No. It's just difficult to watch footage shot using a camera, with a zoomed in lens, that is rapidly moving around.

yea i cant decide wether or not something is art if it isnt supreme you are right.
luckily you found out about art when you saw ed tempelton drawing a sketch devil and a black and whit photo of a guy doing a wallie on modern architecture.
any of you ever complained about emerica videos having a green filter? exactly none.
its just so popular to hate on supreme. its easy.
i dont like the company or its customers and the whole hypebeast scene.
i just like cool shit that isnt about bro partying, the 324802034 video that wants to extremly underline the thought of
"yes we are bros and its about fun" because its so obvious. skating is pure fun with friends without filming it for like what every unsponsored skater. so like 90 percent just do it for fun anyways.
surley fun friend videos will give you a great feeling and will make u hyped to skate.
but sometimes i just like looking at young people wearing outstanding clothes making skating look easy.

Not sure if that’s as clear as you think it is.
I could understand people solely enjoying (or at least trying their best to enjoy) Bill’s videos for the actual skating.
Being additionally stoked on everything besides that (the filming, editing, stylization etc.) without also finding the brand’s art direction and product design at least somewhat appealing seems pretty unlikely.
-
you can absolutly not care about supreme but like bills filming and editing and the team and the whole vibe.
i dont know what elon musk has to do with the editing in mind goblin but have fun poluting air being stuck in traffic and looking ugly as shit in your child work produced tshirt from bangladesh because you didnt want to spend +10 $

Still finding it “somewhat appealing” is different than “hating” it despite liking the video, like you initially said, but whatever.
Also lol @ beckham dismissing the analogy and literally coming to Elon’s aid. Almost like he has a chronic habit of identifying himself as being on the side of people with infinitely more financial success and social status than him and conveniently imagining all his detractors as monolithically backwards and ignorant (i.e. wearing a brand of shoes he dislikes and assumes they must like). That’s fine, its a pervasive coping mechanism, just know there are people who will see through it.

or you could buy that beautiful jacket you saw and feel good wearing it.
what is the reason why i wear clothing at all? i could just skate and drink beer that would be so chill.
i dont even know why im explaining this to you. its about the video and its gets far more hate than it deserves. the filming was never absolutley not acceptable and not watchable as some guys were saying.

Just gave this vid a second watch. Bill's filming gave me a tad bit of vertigo but I generally like his song choices. Doc Oc instrumental and Pleasure Symbols got me psyched. Night Ranger and Meek Mill not so much

Q: would you mind goblin me cock?
A: why soitenly!

This is dark as fuck but thank God we don't have to watch any incredible Dylan footage filmed all shitty.

It’s a Swedish DSBM band (depressive suicidal black metal).

Imagine if instead of doing that lil shuvit afterwards (at least I think it was a shuvit? His feet and board were cut off) he decided to do some really nicely popped and stylish flip trick instead, one that was so proper that people would reference it later for years to come, but because Bill wants to get all zoom happy it was missed. Bills filming is getting to the point where he could potentially be missing filming tricks and that’s enough for me to not back it.
-
Is Bill serious with this shit? I can't tell. That filming is atrocious. I feel sorry for the skaters. Had to turn it off after 10 seconds.

i still haven't watched this and probably won't. i love bill strobeck and he gets a lifetime pass but these clips just seems like such an ordeal to watch this point. the dramatization, face zoom onto 13 years olds' contrived/self aware facial expressions as they roll up to another back tail, the gloomy ass colors, and of course the zoom that makes it hard to tell what is going on. and finally the types of luxury fits that are only skated by people who are getting the garments for free (which I harp on constantly but still). it's just too much.
generally i like edits shit that are more out of left field but this is just becoming not my cup of tea
I need to go back and watch Cherry again. Was the zooming and slomo-ing and color grading this crazy? I don't remember it being quite so OD

Thanks for the hot take on the video you haven’t watched.

Well I liked it.

From my perspective Bill’s filming in the last decade or so has been an emulation of your gaze as if you were there to witness the trick. Looking at in that way I can find enjoyment in it despite the fact that some of these tricks (like TJ’s fountain switch flip) were filmed pretty poorly. Complaining this late in the game just seems pointless?

If no one talks about it how is he going to get any better?

I'd unironically love if Bill said "fuck it" and made a fully freaked, avant-garde skate video. Give me all the fucked angles and crazy filtering to the point that the skating is completely illegible, and make it an hour long please.
he is getting closer to this with each new edit. couple more and we'll be there

Need a trick in the middle to film here these days...

hahaha yep. i feel bad for anyone trying to get a clip on these steps at this point. hard to imagine doing any better than Kummer
That was mind goblin. Too much of the supreme video was iOS jack-o-lantern emoji.

The dudes on the Mostly Skateboarding podcast think Bill Strobeck is one of the most underrated filmers in skating. They’re takes are so fried sometimes. The dude is the filmer for a hypebeast company. That’s like exact opposite of underrated. Just wanted to get that off my chest lol

Has he gotten any better? If anything he’s gotten worse according to this thread.

Strobeck's videos are the skateboarding equivalent to found footage horror movies. Heavy motion sickness vibes.

Now that VF 100 percent owns Supreme I wonder if they would ever use Vans’ filmers to get better footage or they’re just that far up Bill’s fat ass….

Skateboarding is a creative interaction with the world around you. Bill Strobeck is creatively playing with the world around film. I like his videos. I know most of you post here because real life is hard and having kind of an autistic obsession with cool, but like cool in my small town not in Paris of NYC because that would challenge my blue collar, small town understanding of whats acceptable to me and the toxic masculinity on display at my local skatepark.
Anyway got sidetracked. Strobeck's videos are enjoyable, creative constructs. There are so many videographers peddling just a basic documentation of skateboarding pioneered by Spike in the 90s that I enjoy Strobeck's being different.
There are that many Nike Videos, Converse Videos, Primitive videos, Adidas videos where you can see clearly the full torso of these skaters that I don't really see the issue of your moral panics over homoerotic depictions of teenagers.

There’s a little line Vince Touzery does in one of the previous videos where Bill completely misses a natural frontside 360 on flat and I’ve been mad ever since.

Being additionally stoked on everything besides that (the filming, editing, stylization etc.) without also finding the brand’s art direction and product design at least somewhat appealing seems pretty unlikely.
‘Somewhat’ is the key word, the main focus still on the ‘(the filming, editing, stylization etc.)‘
Still finding it “somewhat appealing” is different than “hating” it despite liking the video, like you initially said, but whatever.
Also lol @ beckham dismissing the analogy and literally coming to Elon’s aid. Almost like he has a chronic habit of identifying himself as being on the side of people with infinitely more financial success and social status than him and conveniently imagining all his detractors as monolithically backwards and ignorant (i.e. wearing a brand of shoes he dislikes and assumes they must like). That’s fine, its a pervasive coping mechanism, just know there are people who will see through it.
if that was the case i would love america and americans like you but i dont. you think the world resolves around your problems and slowly you are destroying this planet.
im not a rich white person that wants to be a business man or whatever you think im trying to be lmao i dont see value in living disgustingly rich. i wonder if you think if people who buy supreme look like some
billionaire kids screaming around because they want something NOOOOOOW and the dad is a fat pig looking guy with versace gold rings around his fingers throwing around with money.
i dont come from lots of money so im happy and value it completly whenever i get myself something

Lol disappears for months. Comes back and is still shitting on about the importance of buying a good jacket. We get it dude.

Supremes videos are becoming a caricature at this point.

This is dark as fuck but thank God we don't have to watch any incredible Dylan footage filmed all shitty.
I thought about this the other day. Love it or hate it, part of Dylan's style was how he moved his upper body/arms, and Strobeck's current filming absolutely not capture an essential element of Dylan's skating - if not ruin it altogether, like most of the stuff in this video.
I like to think Dylan would have told Bill to pull his head in and film properly.
