Great watch. Soundtrack was a bit tiresome at points with the guitar feedback and drums instrumentals, but very Hellride.

So many great clips in there. Jeff Carlyle's Willy Santos style front lip made me feel 10 years old again.

Watching a full length with amazing stuff from start to finish is too much for my social media fried brain. Some random things I could retain:

Watching gabbers feels like when game of thrones was the first major production where the main guys could die at any point.

Me sucking at back tails, I can’t comprehend people gapping into them. Quite a few of those in there.

The tech wizardry from guys like Daan and Diego within the gnarly sf context is sweet.

ivan glenney's gap kickflip 50-50 was wild

Big fan of that guy as well. Whole video was absolutely incredible. Diego Todd is nuts, Miles is making a case for himself, just too much good stuff.

Gerwer and Steamer were real smilemakers for me. Did seem like some odd abscenses, but I don't have the team memorized. Surely Dennis and TNT are on there though?

Diego Todd is a wizard, straight wizard...

Miles Silvas is like Readers Digest, he's really, really, really, good...

Kanfoush...

Front tail heelflips are a seemingly hot commodity there out on the streets of SF...

I'll probably never watch this again in all honesty; it was really good though...

Nikolai's unnecessary tow in to the 3 up 3 down on an e bike then sharing his horrible music with us was pretty funny. I like his skating but needs to lose the headphones and take another push.

Gabbers 3 little sort of hesitant starts before the boardslide slam made me feel his fear. And felt like immediate foreshadowing. Fuck that was bad. Reminds me of the Cardiel slam.

And to stick with the theme of three. Willow's front nose across the 3 up 3 down was fucking mint

I agree with you, but come on. My decrepit old ass has a decent one so Nile can certainly do a decent one if he tries.
Is it just me or is Daiki putting out heavy Salazar vibes? Clothes, tucked in shirt, hair and style(fast/clean/tech-ish) seem very similar. I’m for it(minus the tucked in shirts).

There was a rather large amount of filler for the lead up to Diago’s ender!

I did really enjoy the video! Especially Diago’s nollie fs flip up the curb!

Because most of us can relate to Duffy’s style of skating to some degree so it seems more real. I have as much in common with Miles’ performance on a skateboard as I do with an NBA player’s skill on the court.

19 Polk comes every 15 minutes. Guy on the corner signals when the bus is coming up the hill, then Chris ollies the cans. Looks like the spotter was blocking the bus too to make sure it was in position. Loved seeing the photographer on the trunk of the sedan.

Great video. Edit doesn’t need to be too extra with skating/concept/team this strong. Growing up in SF it’s like every clip is either an old friend or a new mystery. Too many angles on the ender though.

I don't know who Chris Athans is but after that line with the wallride on the bus, the dude is in the hall of fame as far as I'm concerned. That was fucking sick. Especially the lightning fast impossible after. That's gotta be one of those "comes along once in a lifetime" kinda lines. No way he was actually planning that, right??
  That was the standout line in the video for me.  I also wondered how they pulled off those logistics.  Having the Frank Gerwer kickflip followed by that insane line really got me hyped for the rest of the video.

I liked that breezy trick a lot

does anyone know if the bus wallride was planned? Seems like a mf to time. That's an all-time clip.
[close]

19 Polk comes every 15 minutes. Guy on the corner signals when the bus is coming up the hill, then Chris ollies the cans. Looks like the spotter was blocking the bus too to make sure it was in position. Loved seeing the photographer on the trunk of the sedan.

Great video. Edit doesn’t need to be too extra with skating/concept/team this strong. Growing up in SF it’s like every clip is either an old friend or a new mystery. Too many angles on the ender though.

Eh, maybe. The bus had its flashers on so it may have just been sitting there for a while and they took the opportunity.

As the person who caught flack for heavily criticizing a particular past trick of hers, that was fucking sick! If that’s what she’s capable of, give us more of THAT!

One of my favorite tricks in the entire edit.

watched this through again and i am in the middle of a third viewing--a few thoughts:
 
a big sloppy raspberry to people on about the editing--i think the video presents so many different skaters with so many different styles skating so many different spots in a single city splendidly...not an easy thing to do

it wasn't the smoothest of his tricks, but Nikolai Piombo's backside flip to fakie five-o (7:40) was done with so much control and stuck so squarely that i had to rewind it a few times to make sure i was seeing someone flip the board

i lived at 24th and Alabama the first time i lived in SF (right across the street from El Farolito, which i miss to this day), and Simon Bannerot's heel-flip to wallride has me stoked that heads are STILL finding new ways to skate that spot. used to start every mission at that bank-to-wall parking lot, literally a couple hundred feet from our door

Antonio Durao's cab flip is one of the most beautiful things i have ever seen done on a skateboard

i don't know how one manages to watch Gabriel Summers' battles and not love him and his skating--so much fucking heart and skill

back to it...

  I had to rewind three times to see the flip into that fakie 5-0.  So sick! He flipped the board so fast that the framerate couldn't keep up.

Am I the only thinking some of these tricks should have ended personal parts instead of getting lost in the mix? Gabbers boardslide, Nikolai bs nb, ...

For some reason Duffy's ollie looks so much cooler.

Cause he ate shit multiple times, rode through a puddle and did it almost 25 years ago...
