Wow. Thought Benny Magliano paced that edit perfectly.
-
there ain’t no such thing as leftover crack
-
Aidan of ollies
-
benny can do no wrong
-
aidan can really do no wrong in my book. his bag of tricks and the spots he chooses to do them on are perfect.
what do you call that trick he does on the bank to fridge spot? a switch willy 180 out?
-
At this point I'm just here for the editing. I always like Aidan's skating but Benny makes these videos look so fucking good.

happy friday ;D

AVE and Aidan are best friends?

I'd call it a fakie smith

Always love the way Benny puts these videos together. Part felt a little repetitive at times, but there was cool stuff throughout.
Danzig track ABD though. ;)

Can anyone with a better vocabulary than me describe the FA video aesthetic? It's like Carpenter meets Argento meets fuzzy 90s softcore porn channel meets murder documentary.
Whatever it is, I love it.
-
willy grinds so hot right now
-
are they short pants or long shorts?
-
Ave’s switch 5-0
-
Good part but still can’t shake the fact that the dude who does switch willy grinds is the one throwing a fit about not wanting to be on the same team as Chris Millic lol
-

Shants.
-
i haven't heard the fuck world trade outro in ages.
i liked it. damn it, AVE does not fucking slow down
-
lots of weird arm stuff
-
he makes bad tricks look good.
-
lots of weird arm stuff
Yeah, I thought that might be a new add-on like T-Funk's safety surf, but he's probably just always been too zoomed in on to notice before
-
I don’t know what to think
-
this is unwatchable for me
-
this part makes me feel like an old man, I don't understand the love for this dude. He's got like 5 tricks, and then a bunch of gimmicky dirt/grass rides. I honestly can't tell if they're joking with that slappy switch crook section. He's usually good for some cool manuals but the ones he had in this we're pretty stinkin'. Like I understand people like him and FA but do people think he's good at skating? Somone like rowan could film this whole part in like 2 days
-
that was...not good
-
love aidan mackey footage. the whole "anyone could do these tricks" take is beat to shit. the short answer to that is that they're not.

I’m by no means an Aidan hater, but I have to agree. This part was super underwhelming imo.

i knew i'd see a bunch of old men yelling at clouds in here
aidan is sick as fuck and skates extremely unconventional shit in the most blown out skate city in the world. big fan
-
Not enough pole jams.
-
Strange to see a guy look way better on his board switch than regular. Half his tricks looked gross.
-
I haven’t even watched this yet but y’all are so fuckin annoying with the “why is he pro, his tricks are wack”. People other than you want to buy a board with his name on it. If they didn’t, he wouldn’t have a pro model. That’s why none of y’all have pro models, sheesh.
-
randy farkus is a lot scarier than 917 mackey.
-
Why even put the 1 flip trick ( heelflip) in there when his co star and 25 year his senior AVE can switch tre over a 1920’s factory worker laying down long ways?
-
Very tight. His skating has a charm to it that I can't explain. The edit was very well done too; music and spot selection were on point.
I think the hate towards him is often misguided. I can understand to a degree if you don't like his style or edge, but harping on him for having too few tricks or whatever is a close-minded and antiquated take.
-

CAPRIS

Strobeck liked his spikey red hair.

was curious.. has there ever been another web part talked about as long as this one?
feel like i've heard about this for almost 2 years
-
...it came out today
-
...it came out today
I think he means how people have been asking for an Aidan part on Youtube for years, and then at the end of Industrial Light & Magic they said Aidan Mackey coming soon or whatever (which was like a 2 years ago)
But I think that was a teaser for Dancing on Thin Ice, not this.
-
Anthony Poppalardo basically got shit on relentlessly for skating just like this 15 years ago
-
Slappers don’t like him because he’s ginger.
-
Love Benny. Aidan… was sick in 917pt1. What happened?
-
Slappers don’t like him because he’s ginger.
Giovanni Vianna doesn't get that kinda hate... less popular though
-
felt alienated after that ride on/slappy 5050 section where it felt like the same trick with different backgrounds. gave me a real "no seymour, it's the kids that are wrong" feeling I didn't like
-
still thing Wade Burkett has the biggest pole jam
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozP4ehr8-Z0
-
Anthony Poppalardo basically got shit on relentlessly for skating just like this 15 years ago
but he also did years worth of technical skating legendary east coast spots. some of it is still legit to this day.
this guy though...why is he pro? no substance at all. the best tricks were AVE.
-
This has to be my fav FA video. Great music and flow to match the skating. Loved the Fs turning Sw Manual on the sidewalk, the Fakie Fs Crooked Shove, and the Fakie Manual to Manual on the Daewon spot. Ender felt more like a credits trick though.
-
2:07 is a good example of like... why is this clip in a video for one of the "most cool" brands?
-
Woof, so much to hate on where do I even begin?
Certainly one way to stretch your five tricks into an entire part. I could’ve done some of those manuals on curbs for sure. About five too many pole jams. I never need to see another switch backside wallie crook ever again. The switch front crook to fakie was the best trick IMO. The super dramatic slow mo ride on grind in the intro, puke. Dude’s trucks did not lock in on that 50-50 on the green dumpster. Why is it trendy to use a shitty make for your part and not redo a better one where you actually lock in the grind?? Ender is a unique spot but a drop in grind with grass all around you is like Instagram story worthy at best.
K-rod had the best trick of his whole damn career in that part.
I get it, I’m old.
-
I liked it, specifically the way the video was colored.

Loved this part
-
pays homage to dill's ride on 5-0 spot in mindfield with a 50-50, one-downing out of respect or laziness? these are the things that keep me up at night sometimes.
Still, I liked it. Benny's a master of his craft.

I'm not that old, usually Aiden footage is pretty cool in my opinion... but this was just a little too repetitive as far as trick selection goes. That was definitely too many weird pole jam/ride on 50's. You all know it was, too...
Editing and music was cool as hell, per usual.
Edit: first thing I noticed was dude filled out a bit, more power!

kinda sorta not really i just quit paying attention to skating for a good 4 years and got locked outta my old account. point still stands even if hating dude seems to be the popular opinion around here
-
"Well can you do it better" is not an argument. Millions of people criticize the performance of *gulp* athletes all the time. It's okay to hate on a guy's Los Angeles trick-dancing regardless of your trick-dancing ability.
If you're feeling defensive of Aidan you can just say that instead. Speak to his strengths and what you liked about the part. Speak to shifting tides in skateboarding, or to his influence or something. Don't just come on a two decade old skateboard forum and say that we can't talk shit about skateboarders
Edit: Like, I feel you. I'm a Jesse Alba fan. I was defending Ben Kadow on here when he was on 3D like 7 years ago. I get it. I defended Kader going pro
-
weird. i really love FA + Hockey Vids, but this one didn't do much for me. Aidan lost some style in growing up / partying way too much.

Couldn’t agree more - surely they watched an edit and thought “hmm maybe we need a couple of lines in there” or anything else really. Epic edit, bland skating and i’m a fan.

Just watched it after Deedz part...cmon man...FA is trolling us.

Good edit & Aidan rips in his own unique way but shuvs in front you out of bs crooks are a no no.

this was shit.

This part and his pantaloons were lame. At least FA finally acknowledged that he looked like Scut Farkus from A Christmas Story with the title.
-

The standards for pro skating shouldn't be "better than the average slap poster"
-
I will credit this part with helping me to realize I'm not bad at skating, I'm just unconventional at skating
-
Im surprised at how much I liked this part.

part was good . enjoyed that switch nose manual revert to regular manual on the bank .
-

Funny you'd say that because both Aidan and deedz are absolute spot hunters
-
Can a part be enjoyable without being impressive? This seems to straddle that line.
-
This dude dresses just like the punk dudes who also skated and were a few years older then me when I was in high school (late 1990s). Seeing it makes me feel weirdly nostalgic and also makes the "I'm too old for this" comments seem weird.
To each their own, but I love this. Also Benny is the best.

I get the same feeling. His skating reminds me of when I was younger and skateboarding was 'new' and exciting, and this dangerous thing and you're trying to figure it out. It's a level of nostalgia I'm not embarrassed about as opposed to say something like what eS is doing. I don't think he has a good bag of tricks, or a particular good style, but I do appreciate his approach to skateboarding and the lane he has carved out for himself despite being in a profession that is so centered on skill and progression.
-
I liked it.
-
Kind of hard to describe what’s off about him. I generally enjoy low impact street skating with non technical tricks, so I don’t think it’s that.
I can’t find the right words but it’s like Aidan skates with the speed of someone who busts heavy shit just for him to do a fakie manual on a sidewalk and you’re left thinking “alright nigga lol”.
Edit: Also, there’s some excellent fits in here when he’s not wearing capris.

I enjoyed it surprisingly. Was hoping he was going to skate to that whole Sabbath song. There were a few clips where I saw some major Van Wastell influence in his skating.
-

I kept waiting for 'feed the children' to start playing, but it never did.

this was very underwhelming. FA/ Hockey slow mo zoomed in bullshit video style is played out.
-
Can someone hook me up the music? Like what’s the name of songs? I know that’s Danzigs voice. Thanks
I like the music more than anything.
-
Really liked the edit but that was some coolguy, mid skating. Deedz skates non-spots and does unique manuals too and compare his part to this.

I think that’s a lot of these guys have a “less is more” approach when it comes to releasing footage. (Though honestly I was really surprised to see another part from him so soon after Dancing On Thin Ice, which I did enjoy.)
It just becomes apparent that there are gimmicky pros and ones that are truly talented and interesting like Deedz or Franky Villani.

His crust punk try hard is pretty amusing and he’s gunna regret the shitty job stopper on his hand when his inevitably short lived skate career is over.
I’ve liked some of his past parts, but this felt kinda like b sides from those, but a level lower.
I will give him props for actually producing a part. KB, Sean, and Sage seem unable to do so.
Love the AVE footage as always.

Why would his career be short lived? He's only 24, and already been around for like 10 years, has 3 of the biggest sponsors, and is productive.

Basically. I thought the Aidan "Welcome to FA" part has been talked about for some time now.
That teaser you mentioned was at the beginning of Dancing on Thin Ice which came out ~1.5 ago, and there was already some talk of the part before then.

Yea I don't normally hate this guy and like his unique bag of tricks sometimes, all the variations etc but this was underwhelming and not really any change in tricks etc. Not hating just being honest. Also doing pole jams in LA is not a unique way od skating whoever said that haha.
-
I enjoyed it.A few years ago I wouldn't have I'm sure. I'm hyped to go skate rn. Not a fan of patches on clothing but hes owning it so more power to him. I love that so many hate him I'm sure they are the same people referring to (body shaming) AA as "that fat guy on Hockey". Hope hes around for a long time. If you don't like him don't watch.

I got dumped for the first time in 10th grade via AOL Instant Messanger with this song playing on Windows Media Player. Kayla was right, though, I had some serious growing up to do.

everything is so over saturated these days with sick ledge combos and stair sets. theres a billion videos like that. FA represents a much more diverse and unique look at skateboarding. it is sad that some older skaters cannot see that.
-
I loved it. The 917 vid and Dancing on Thin Ice have been two of the more memorable recent videos to me. Obviously he has benefitted from some great editing. Not sure if this matches those other parts, but I think it’s crazy the amount of quality footage he produces for what he’s working with.
Also I remember right before Dill and AVE jumped ship to start FA Dyrdek was talking about how he saw a future where there was only like 10 skaters and they all skated like and had the personalities of Nyjah. I love this guy can carve out a solid career while guys like Mickey Papa are training at the skatepark and barely sponsored.
-
the thing that really appeals to me about watching Ben Kadow and Aidan is that you can guarantee they would be doing the exact same thing regardless of whether they were sponsored or not
-
I loved it
That danzig song was dope

Wow, you should come down from your high horse. Lots of skateparts are this kind of unique and diverse these days. I feel like this is more on trend right now than the sick ledge combos you mentioned.
He's one of the guys who started the trend so I give him that. Normally I also like his parts but this was just boring. The played out fa/hockey editing didnt help either.

Because nothing is guaranteed in skating. He’s relevant now, but that doesn’t mean his boards sell or kids will care about him indefinitely. Lots of dudes have less than 10 years in their prime in a job that doesn’t provide basic healthcare or the comforts of a wage position. He reminds me mostly of how I thought and acted at his age.

I dont think you can objectively say this type of skating is more on trend. It is getting more exposure but majority of Thrasher vids are still gnar focused skating. There is also Street League and Berrics, and youtuber stuff. That stuff has to be getting the most views + still the most popular.
You arent wrong though, there is definintely a niche here. in the last VANS video they did an entire section dedicated to low impact / good vibes skating (but the real focus of the video was the Chima Ferguson hammer section)There are a lot more zines and underground video mags coming out, also "smaller" board companies (they arent so small anymore) like FROG, WKND, that are doing this type of feel-good skating

Aidan is Mos def related to Infamous bully Scott Farkas.

Don't know how to feel about this part. I really just find aidan unwatchable but this skating was decent. The only reason i watched the whole thing was for the random cameos from Krod and Ave

I wanted to close the video at 5 different times but then boom AA clip, hopes up, it’s boring, boom KRod clip, hopes up, it’s boring, boom AVE!!
Shit felt like when you’re swiping on dating apps you close them and after a bit a notification comes up and you matched a goddess.
Too bad she is like 9k miles away and/or does not exist.

Enjoyable video sure but nothing impressive from the red devil
Aidan is FA’s “nose manual the whole park” dude

With his safety hands abs penchant for fakie manuals Aidan is like a hesh Dustin Henry to me, which is fine cuz I like Dustin and the riding down dirt clips are short enough for me not to lose focus.
I watched it again and there’s some sleeper shit in there like the big switch front crooks he does.

_imagine_ if deedz's part was edited by benny magliano
Imagine if FA did an egg shape
With a 14” wb and tri colour Veneers. I definitely cop one.
I like the skateboarding. It’s shocking to me that this is À la mode.
Everything should be done to fakie manny down a hill in my book. Wishing I was designing the clothes. It would be the beez kneez If Lopez dropped uniform and went all Avenue C Chic.
I’d feel like I won a little bit over the Uniform Era Gatekeepers.

clive dixon makes me want to get rid of my dickies carpenter jeans, aiden mackey reminds me why i keep them
-
Good stuff. His Blessed part hit harder, but I think I liked this more than his DOTI part.
-
Good part but still can’t shake the fact that the dude who does switch willy grinds is the one throwing a fit about not wanting to be on the same team as Chris Millic lol
This
-
WAY too many pole jams for my liking. But Ben can make anything look good and I understand the hype around the kid.
-
The plus about living in a generation with lots of coverage is that a rider can put out a good part and maybe it’s not their best ever but still worth watching and showcases their talent.
-
will he ever top his 917 part?

immaculate go skate vibes

There is no one I would rather watch slam while trying to switch manual down a dirt hill.
-
this is sick. if you complain about this part, you're old, just accept it.
-
Man the 917 video reminds me of how big AO fucking blew it. They had something really rare and dope.
-
I'd say FA is doing everything right if their latest video has over 5 pages of comments on slap.
The majority of topics sharing a new video release rarely make it past 2 pages anymore.
Whatever you think about his skill level aside Aidan has an interesting approach and style, Dill and co back it and I appreciate that it isn't all about your switch flip anymore. It's skateboarding, do we really need every skater to adhere to some strict trick/style/spot code?
-
not his strongest offering but i appreciate the continued exploration of illegal shit like highwater pants and willy grinds. the man is an artiste.
-
That's the daewon switch nose manny spot right? that switch nosemanny pivot to manual was brutal, such a grom trick but it's cool cuz it's hip kid?
-
got a jason adams vibe from some tricks he did. pretty nice.
-
love aidan mackey footage. the whole "anyone could do these tricks" take is beat to shit. the short answer to that is that they're not.
Well, most people who are being filmed are just choosing to do better tricks because they are getting filmed.

not at all lol
the tricks were weak AF

well, skateboarding is not always about the biggest gap you can do, there are other things. also, tricks aren't the only thing in a skate video, i was talking the video as a whole.

well actually, you seem to be referring to the part specifically. There are plenty of skaters that aren't about the "biggest gap" that don't suck. Its all good if you just like him and the brand, but there's no argument to be had that this isn't mediocre skating even compared to his previous parts.
-
Like Corey Duffel doesn’t display the deepest bag of tricks lately but when you watch some of these FA dudes back to back with his part, there’s no question who the real one is.
-
I’m a fan but this felt a little boring, seems like same bag of tricks lately and just lost interest while watching this one. I think he deserves his spot and generally like his skating. This was just a miss for me. Editing was nice though

This dude dresses just like the punk dudes who also skated and were a few years older then me when I was in high school (late 1990s). Seeing it makes me feel weirdly nostalgic and also makes the "I'm too old for this" comments seem weird.
To each their own, but I love this. Also Benny is the best.
I get the same feeling. His skating reminds me of when I was younger and skateboarding was 'new' and exciting, and this dangerous thing and you're trying to figure it out. It's a level of nostalgia I'm not embarrassed about as opposed to say something like what eS is doing. I don't think he has a good bag of tricks, or a particular good style, but I do appreciate his approach to skateboarding and the lane he has carved out for himself despite being in a profession that is so centered on skill and progression.
This is a good take

Yep, and despite my previous posts, I also think this is a good take. Minds are complex.
-
I wasn't really a fan before this part. I am becoming more of a fan now. The irrigation pipe grind is just rad. It sticks in my head. I don't care how hard it is or not, it strikes me as different and rad. I think that is a good way to describe a lot of his skating. Would be sick if he added a bit of flatground tech to his bag. Solid fake varial heels and switch tres would be sick.

This is putting my feelings about this edit into words, he is sick but a good portion of the video was stuff I have been seeing from him in the past

ok I get it and you're right if I think about at his 917 part

The fact that people are still debating this part shows that Aidan and FA were pretty damn successful. In a world where almost every sponsored skater is really good it takes something to actually differentiate yourself and be memorable even if people aren't super stoked. That's part of what Dill has always gone for with FA and has spoken in a bunch of interviews about how he respected and supported Dylan when he got hated on for various reasons.
Plus who else is near the top of the skating dirt game right now?

Outside of some fake steez accusations, I don't think anyone hated on Dylan's skateboarding or talent level. Every damn person knew he was worthy of a pro board on Alien. That's different than the type of hate Aiden and Sean Pablo get.
-
When he was transitioning his fashion choices he got a decent amount of shit talked about his aesthetic, but obviously his skating was pretty good. Sean Pablo literally duplicated a Dylan trick for Blessed and while I don't think he or Aidan are as good from a traditional standard, they aren't bad either. I wouldn't go so far as to say neither deserves to be pro even when I am not a fan of their footage. I really never thought TK was good enough, for example.
