Artifacts and Galt MacDermot - Coffee Cold, Which is sampled for one of my favorite songs. Skating was great as well. I wish there was more Albert Nyberg footage. That dude does some interesting things.

Great job Max!
Always love these, that was terrific! Europe really does have the best architecture for skating. Willow and Martino are such a treat to watch, genuinely have no idea what to expect. Particularly loved the Maatman / Nyberg section, so smooth! The Kickflip stalefish was absurd. Also the gap fs lipslide in Thessaloniki is impossible.
Certainly will watch again!

Willow 2.0 is fire. Haven't watched only i third of it yet.

Great to see the Max Pack getting better and better at filming.

A lot of great spots and a some seriously high-calibre skating. That last guy, Martino, must be a cat with nine lives.
Got a bit lost with so many heads despite the intro.

Caught myself jaebing multiple times throughout, 45 minutes of heavy skating with the full crew at every spot, probably 20-30 rewinds. Video of the year so far. Vans Euro giving Vans USA a run for their money and having more fun doing it.

Damn... I always wanted someone to skate to "If you could save yourself you'd save us all" by Ween... But they used the wrong version... That's the one on the album... The demo version is so much rawer... In my opinion, it's their best song.

Have only watched the intro and willow part yet, both amazing, but I really wanted some second/different angles on some of his tricks. The angle on willows ender is criminal.

Sour would be a good fit if he's still in limbo.

Have to agree with @OrangeVHStapes too, the Caesar Demo version would have been my choice, that whole tape is fucked-up good.

that's notis aggelis, he's from thessaloniki in greece. he's venture gang for sure, they posted a little edit of him not too long ago.

I loved this video, the EU team is actually a lot more interesting than the US one in my opinion. i really enjoyed the whole unit, but willow, notis and martino stood out the most for me. also, special shoutout to that fake flip battle!

Damn! There was some amazing skating and spots in here. A bit long, but the last part made it worth sitting through. Only major gripe is the reusing of the Artifacts song that Tim O’Connor skated to in EE3. Some songs are better left alone.

At which point does a reuse become a shoutout? I'd say there's an axis of: time elapsed, how iconic the original usage is and hommage paid through other cues (trick redos, spots revisited, etc.) If there's enough time gone by and the original usage is as iconic as Tim's arguable career highlight, you don't need to directly reference him to make it ok.

not sure the last time I watched a 40 min video full attention, with ppl I haven't ever heard of for the most part.

That was fantastic.  reminded me of golden-era Cliche, which is probably the best compliment I can give anything.  incredible skating, great music, good filming, cool spots, tf else you want?

The tailslide outledge horizontal gap to fakie down the narrow brick hubba with half inch deep grout in the last guys part really fucked me up, didnt someone else get a clip there this past year? Or was it a photo / sequence of this same trick? It just doesn't seem possible.. Would not commit to that for a million fucking dollars. The difficulty to dangerousness ratio is 1:1 pure fucking insanity.

Artifacts and Galt MacDermot - Coffee Cold, which is sampled for one of my favorite songs.

Had to re-listen the Handsome Boy Modeling School song after watching this. Great songs. Great skating as well, Vans movies have rarely disappointed me.

What an amazing watch. I do think some of Willow's tricks really screamed for a second angle and using speedramps on a couple of the nuttier stunts throughout the flick wouldn't have gone amiss. Never got why some dudes in skate editing are so violently against them.

What was up with that editing error on the second angle of the last trick? It cuts straight to the middle of his nose manual. I’ve never seen that in all my years of professional skate video consumption. How did that get by?

I agree, this was video of the year so far not just in terms of skating but overall creativity and entertainment. Willow and Martino's parts opened up a whole new can of wormholes. Martino like an early Josh Kasper reincarnated as a Sean Green that just smoked a bowl of GT concentrate. Does anyone know if Willow is officially on GX? Who does Martino ride for? He's got that crazy look in his eye... and filmed that whole part nursing what looked like a broken wrist wrapped in a loose cloth?

Cattaneo being without a sponsor is a shame really. Dude is 30 apparently, pay him now, skateboarding!
I wonder if part of the problem is that he hasn't traveled to the US enough, to get his name out there? Did he ever come to the US??

Also yeah, Nyberg really does look like a young Vallely. And I like his skating too.... Plus using that Alpha Blondy was an awesome idea (reaggae singer from Ivory coast). Now that's an artist I really never expected to hear in a skate vid!!

i forgot it after the first time i watched. but rewatched it two times now and the guy at the beginning is introducing every skater, who is then shown in person. i really liked that way, though, i agree with you that a title card before each skater would have been far more convenient

That Greek guy Notis Aggelis is insanely good too. The back 50-50 with like a 7 foot transfer to front 50-50 was one of my favorite clips. If I went to that spot, I probably wouldn't even consider that possible. His gap to front lip was huge as well.

I am a bit late to the party but I have to say Martino‘s part was mental, dude cemented his status as Europe‘s most savage skater, kind of like a nice version of T Funk (not trying to hate on T Funk here).

He was on Thrasher’s Am Scramble a few years ago. He does not get much American footage, I agree. It’s so hard to come up anymore.. so many skaters, so few spaces. I’m glad to see he is still on Vans.

Being on Opera gets you paid?? I couldn't tell you one guy on that team and I frequently forget the brand even exists.

sorry - hooked up by "someone", not necessarily them. I just would like this guy to get some money

Cattaneo being without a sponsor is a shame really. Dude is 30 apparently, pay him now, skateboarding!
I wonder if part of the problem is that he hasn't traveled to the US enough, to get his name out there? Did he ever come to the US??

Also yeah, Nyberg really does look like a young Vallely. And I like his skating too.... Plus using that Alpha Blondy was an awesome idea (reaggae singer from Ivory coast). Now that's an artist I really never expected to hear in a skate vid!!

He was on Thrasher’s Am Scramble a few years ago. He does not get much American footage, I agree. It’s so hard to come up anymore.. so many skaters, so few spaces. I’m glad to see he is still on Vans.

He seemed to have lots of momentum after Tom’s Tales, then Am Scramble then going pro for Madness.

And then Madness folds…

Pfanner should put in the word at Anti Hero… though given they put on Doobie it might be too late

Cataneo and Willow would be perfect on GX1000 given willows flow status. 

But it would be even cooler if there would be a cool new Euro brand. It’s been a minute since the last great euro brand emerged

Last time I saw him in person, he was skating an Anti Hero board, but I have no idea whether that means anything.

Willow's only flow?? I find that hard to believe with the coverage he's getting. If true though, SOMEBODY PLEASE build a brand around him, Martino and Notis. That could be the start of a new Euro heavyweight, like Deja Vu era Cliche, Colour blue era Blueprint or peak LORDZ, only with a hesher vibe. What if Pfanner rebuilt Antiz around them?! That would be sick.

Maybe he’s AM - not sure. From the outside, GX1000 seems different than other brands, since they are so tightly knit around SF and being a crew.

Not sure, if bringing Antiz back, is a good idea.

Cataneo and SF seems like a highly dangerous combination. Thrasher should can the am scramble series and use the gas money to rent an apartment for Willow and Martino in the city.

Antiz wasn't very cool but felt always very real and connected to local scenes and unafraid to take artistic risks. I fuck with that although you wouldn't catch me dead in their softgoods...

i agree. but that doesn't mean it needs to have a come back enjoyed the last video from them. but a new brand that would rival US brands in a way sour, magenta, cliché, polar or palace did would be cool
