A new Berrics video part ''contest'' with pretty much most of the best tranny dudes at the moment. Really looking forward to see new footage from everybody featured in this. And have to say that Berrics has been killing it with a lot of the stuff they've put out recently.
Every skater films a part at one spot/park. Starts tomorrow.
Greyson Fletcher
Daewon Song
Bob Burnquist
Ben Raybourn
Raney Beres
Tom Remillard
Ronnie Sandoval
Taylor Bingaman
Ben Raemers
Rune Glifberg

pretty hyped for this. Raney Beres and Greyson Fletcher are going to kill it
-
Be nice to see some new stuff from the Viking too.

No Grant Taylor?
Wish TNT would go and film a part. That dude still kills shit.

Can the mega ramp be counted as tranny? Seems totally different than skating a bowl, especially if the tricks are over the gap.
-
I hope one of them picks that Shanghai superpark. Shame they missed out on Raven Tershay and Barros, that would have been a guaranteed 1-2

vans video.

While no Grant is annoying, and Tony T stuff is not in because all his stuff is van video bound. I'm excited to see what Daewon has, especially because he seems OCD about his parts (picnic tables or rocks and trees) if he's solely focused on transition some insane stuff could be produced. He's one of the few guys where anything he puts his mind to on a board is possible.

I like the koncept

Let's not forget that Daewon was in their manual contest (and I think he won?) as well. So this only helps to hammer home how much better of a skater he is than pretty much everyone else.

Kinda feel like the edit and the filming didn't do justice to his skating, but there was some gnarliness in there for sure. Also lacked a real ender.
Also the back truck on the bs losi stall or whatever is crazy. Dudes trucks are fucked up loose

Fuck it must be fun to be able to skate like he does.

greysons section was rad, i bet that park is gnarly, and to think that was his first time skating there... thats buck.

Tom Remillard part is up!
http://theberrics.com/in-transition/tom-remillard.html (http://theberrics.com/in-transition/tom-remillard.html)
-
Greyson's part was gnarly, but I think his skating is more fitting for a lower type of bowl, like the one they built for the VDI. he goes higher than everyone in a bowl like that, and his style looks way cooler/ more dangerous. It's really gnarly to do everything he does in that park, but I think he's not really showing the things he does better than other people in that videopart :)
-
Would have liked to see Cody Mcentire in this.

I'd agree with this. Im a big fan of Greyson but for me his crazy speed, and holding on style was lost in this part, probably down to the way it was filmed.

Agreed. If the thing that makes someone's skating distinctive is going big or riding big stuff DON'T USE A FISHEYE!
Remillard's part was filmed in a similar way but it worked better for his skating. Also, Washington St is smaller so Tom never got too far ahead of the filmer. Greyson was farther from the camera a lot of the time so you didn't get the same sense of speed.

all i saw was white and blue, nothing seemed defined.
on the other hand everything about raemers part killed it, the skating, filming & location
-
I liked Greyson's part. Watching him skate is kind of scary, I could only imagine seeing him skate in person. He's a madman.
Raemers part had some really good flow. His ender was perfect.
-
Raemers easily the best one yet, at the chunkiest skatepark sofar
-
Reamers' part was unexpectedly awesome. That one high speed tailslide, air, 360 line was great. That's the kind of shit I dream about doing.
-
While both are gnarly, Tom and Greyson are hugely overrated. They both have 10 tricks in their bag max. Raemers is the best one yet for sure.
-
All so good, Greyson was insane, that front blunt was nuts, he ollied into it! So fucking good.

TNT is shit compared to the new breed of transition skaters. There. Somebody had to say it. Also, he is an arrogant douchebag. No shit people woudn't want him in their contest. Why would you invite him when you can invite better skaters who aren't obnoxious piles of shit.
That said, Remillard's part crushed it. His skating was amazing- I feel like good tranny parts should show a nice flow of lines, not just big hits on walls. His part had both, and the filming and music were rad.

Dude, good point. Other transition skaters do exist. How dare the Berrics.
You ever think some dudes just don't want to be in a contest like this?
And has anybody seen footy of Trujillo at the tiny-ass flowershop that makes you think that would be a good place to film a part for him, or are you just combining a "cool" bay area diy spot and a "cool" skater? Nobody is winning a contest like this at the tiny ass flower shop when other people are skatng Washington St. Lower Bobs, and other AMAZING diy.
-
Yep Reamers is way ahead for me so far. Enjoyed everything about this - great skating, great track and the location I expected.

Those other transition skaters that exist happen to be on another level from the ones so far. Hating on TNT is fucking ridiculous.
And seeing footage from such a messed up place like flower shop is absolutely sick whatever dude. Go Raney.

So you agree those kids are better than Trujillo, and he couldn't compete on their level. When was the last time you saw something truly impressive by Trujillo? Dude had a kid and got lazy, and his attitude is absolute shit. I have no reason to back him. Go Raney.

Raven at hometown Santa Cruz downtown Park or Derby?
Can't understand Greyson hate. Style for miles. Saying he only has 10 tricks is a joke. There's footage of every grab imaginable, EVERY frontside grind/slide on the biggest things: board, blunt, noseblunt, feeble,smith,5-0,5050,tail,nosegrind,etc. No complies+stapleguns all the time. fs180 switch 5-0? hes got most of the bs stuff too, including, as seen, losi.
10 tricks x 5.

On top of that, real transition skating isn't about just doing as many tricks as you can, its about how and where you do them, along with the lines you draw doing them. Greyson charges and has, by far, the sickest frontside ollie on transition in the game. Can he Mctwist? who gives a shit?
Same goes with Remillard. Washington st. is GNARLY. Dude did some crazy lines there.
-
Watches Raemers part 5 times today, dude can skate anything like a boss.
-
raemers part was good but that park look pretty small and mellow besides that far bowl. greysn fletcher was flying but washington st is so more like a pool wall then mammoth. id give it to greyson so far tho that last frontside ollie :o

Jason Jessee Steve Bailey Steve Claar Grant more than a couple others I'm forgetting all got something to say about that. "By far?" Nope.

That curved wall Raemers 5-0 fakies across does not seem mellow or easy to skate in any fashion. That said, he shines on different stuff than the usual big tranny, he's got cool lines, and manages to fly out and back in on any obstacle that finds itself near or on top of a transition. I liked it, though he probably won't win. Don't care really, I just get hyped on all this good transition footy being released all at once!

You have such an annoying and shitty view of skating. Do you just simply base your opinions on accepted views, or do you have any ideas of your own?
By far? In my opinion FUCK YES. Your opinions posted in this thread have been shit from start to finish.
-
Pizza in the UK blows.
-
youtube links anyone?
-
These have all been great so far. I'm partial to Tom's. it's crazy that its all follow filming
-
Raney's part probably won't win, but its sick. That spot is a weird combination of absolutely perfect and a death trap. The transitions are poured well, it has an amazing flow to it, but some perfectly placed gigantic cracks and weird debris all over it can ruin your day quickly. Its also intentionally made in a way that makes it really tough to skate. If you can draw a good line, you can hit some gnarly, but again, smooth and well poured, hips and lips.
-
Raney's park looks so hard to skate, like you really have to know what you're doing to get enough speed to some things. Fits Raney's style perfectly I think.
Also I was surprised on Ben's part, didn't really remember he's able to blast it like that. 5-0 to fakie on that thing looks like the scariest trick ever
-
Fletcher and Remillard's parts were my favorites so far.......they both have awesome style methinks.
I really liked that alley oop fs tailblock thingie by Beres though. Am I the only one to think he looks/skate exactly like Tim Upson ?

Sorry, let me clarify. Your opinions aren't your own based on accepted views, it is just you repeating them. It would be like if I said something like Jaws ollies the gnarliest shit right now and you said "I think Natas, Jeremy Wray, and Frankie Hill might have something to say about that!" And Grant is Phelps' mancrush, but his ollies are nothing compared to Greyson.
-
how do you know he doesnt like those guys frontside ollies? you cant disqualify someones tastes just because theyre popular
-
First of all, even if that is his honest opinion, its a stupid response to my point about how sick Greyson's are, because their frontside ollies take nothing from his. Second of all, sure, Jason Jessee pioneered the floaty frontside ollie pretty much, and Gonz has his own sick lazy foot thing going which is amazing. But the clear fact is, neither of them were floating half as high or taking them to nearly as gnarly of spots as Greyson does. Do they deserve respect? Sure, they were doing it first, and nobody will ever do them again with the same kind of style, and Greyson is standing on their shoulders. But I don't think anybody watches any of those guys and thinks Greyson's aren't as good, unless they remember old dudes telling them who is best (or they are one of said old dudes) and decided that is how it always will be. Go Raney.

Steve Claar before Jason Jessee. And I do remember the old dudes because I'm old. Just responding to your "best in the game by far" bullshit. "The game" has been around a long time.

It sure has, and you know what the one thing is that has stayed the same about "the game?" Progression.

i agree, people should focus on whats in front of them. but a lot of skateboarders dont care how gnarly something is when theyre picking favorites. my favorite front krook for example definitely isnt the gnarliest one. they might watch greyson do a frontside ollie and hate his style and not give a shit about him. its subjective. how gnarly something is isnt subjective, but how it is received is.

Tracer you fall into traps too much. THe Berrics is trying to stay current to get people like you to go to their Canteen bullshit. You suck as a human. Canadian rollerbladers = not welcome

You think a rollerblader would be posting on SLAP? This contest is better than street league, maloof X games, all on the skater doing their thing

Raemer's pizza looked gross. Instant loss.

I was a little skeptical at first, and bummed when I saw Bob was using Dreamland. Would've liked to see him at a crusty old Brazilian park again. So far every part has been sick though. People have their opinions and favorites and that's all fine. It's skateboarding, your "best" can be the polar opposite of my "best" and we're both right. Like I thought Schubert's filming was dizzying. Still, every dude has managed to rage.
So far I liked Greyson's flow and Raemers' tricks but Raney's part is my favorite overall. Looking forward to more, especially Rune and Daewon. Fuck, all of them really (just hope Bob's doesn't have any mega ramp and helicopters; stick to the bowl and it'll be amazing).

Wow. You should post more!
-
This has produced some good stuff so far. I always find it funny how Berra sell this stuff though in his little descriptions, i find almost every post that has a contest he says "ten of the most progressive skaters". Not trying to knock any of the other guys, but the only guys who really define progression who are in it are Bob, Daewon and to a lesser extent Rune. All of them rip though. Only thing disappointing is it seems Vans who would of been amazing for this are probably too busy to put their footage towards it (TNT, Capples and Elijah Berle) and the fact its missing Grant and Raven for whatever reasons. Also would of been sick to see CK1 give it a go. Seems like a lot of the crailtap guys are doing very little for the Berrics compared to the early years. Can't think of any Trunk Boyz stuff on it outside of CK1 and the only guys who seem to have a steady presence on it now are Mike Mo and Malto outside of Koston.

Bingaman. Wow.

Loved the Raney part. Reminded me of the the classic Cab at Raging Waters part from Public Domain, I quess!

Bingaman has the best smiths. dips them down so low
-
After the past few dudes skated shit like lower bobs, WSVT, and Mammoth park, Bingaman will have trouble competing based on the spot he skated alone. I liked the part and all, but dude spends most of his time skating 5 foot transitions when other dudes are skating 15 foot walls with ease.
-
i agree
judging this whole contest is still kind of silly anyway. it's hard to know how hard or easy each place is to skate unless you've been to them all
people saying Ben Raemer's part looked weak are crazy. that 5-0 to fakie was fucking ridiculous. looked like he had to maneuver through some fucked up, kinked shit fakie, going fast as hell
can't wait for Daewon, Rune, Rayborn . everybody!
-
Fair point. Bingaman's park was incredibly accommodating, but his tricks, to me, were still a step above.
-
Bingaman had gnarly tricks but as others said, the fact that it was a skatepark is kind of a bummer. Just felt like a really good Strangenotes park edit and not really part of this contest.

Yeah, I don't actually care who wins as much as I just want to see these dudes skating the way they have been in these parts. The funny thing is, it seems like they almost intentionally made it impossible for the judging in the end to not be controversial. How do you compare Daewon's wild tech tricks to Bob's megaramp shenanigans or Remillard's speed lines? You really can't, but that won't stop them from trying. Again, I don't really care in the end, because they did manage to get a bunch of serious tranny rippers together to put out legit parts that we get to watch, and that's pretty cool.
-
how ARE they judging this anyways??
people's choice? industry panel?
also those short segments where each rider introduces his spot are pretty cool.
Bingaman's park looks absolutely huge....7 different bowls!?
goddamn man.
ALSO: when is the Rune part dropping!!
-
Yeah, the intro parts are rad and have a lot of good skating. I liked that Raney partially chose bob's because he helped build it, so his part is him skating something he made, and other kids might follow his example.
-
Bingaman had gnarly tricks but as others said, the fact that it was a skatepark is kind of a bummer. Just felt like a really good Strangenotes park edit and not really part of this contest.
Is Granite a Wally Holiday park? It sure looks like it. I mean a huge concrete park is great and all but just kept seeing so of the dumb trademark design features that all of his mid 2000's park have.
Sick skating but not hyped on the part.
-
Raney's park looks so hard to skate, like you really have to know what you're doing to get enough speed to some things. Fits Raney's style perfectly I think.
Also I was surprised on Ben's part, didn't really remember he's able to blast it like that. 5-0 to fakie on that thing looks like the scariest trick ever
Lower bobs is nuts. You know when you first skate a skatepark? And usually it takes a few different times going there to get the flow down and get comfortable? Lower bobs takes waaaaaay longer.
The first time skating it, it's so awkward, just like, what the fuck am I doing here?
Hardest flow i've ever been to.
-
how ARE they judging this anyways??
people's choice? industry panel?
also those short segments where each rider introduces his spot are pretty cool.

ALSO: when is the Rune part dropping!!
I think the contest thing is just an excuse to put out some sick little videos online and to get people to actually watch all of them. If it was just some random parts, a lot of people would just skip all the names they don't know or care about. They did the same thing with that manual contest
-
this all feels pretty overblown, typical berrics overhyping. still has some crazy stuff but there's so much filler too. anyways I thought raney had the best stuff so far, partly because that park looks so amazing on camera, and I love spines too. his half cab fs 5-0 to ollie tail bash in was my fav trick so far.
I thought lower bobs got shut down? wasn't there a thread about it and gipper had like 15 meltdowns in it?
-
Congratulations to Bingaman, he did the 1 millionth tailslide of the contest!! Tisket a tasket, this motherfucker is getting a gift basket!
-
people saying Ben Raemer's part looked weak are crazy. that 5-0 to fakie was fucking ridiculous. looked like he had to maneuver through some fucked up, kinked shit fakie, going fast as hell
That place is seriously crusty
(http://www.skateboard.com.au/images/totthale1.jpg)
You're right, no way was Raemers stuff weak at all.
-
Yeah, the intro parts are rad and have a lot of good skating. I liked that Raney partially chose bob's because he helped build it, so his part is him skating something he made, and other kids might follow his example.
That definitely made his part different from the rest. The message and just the idea of him promoting a DYI park. I thought the edit was particully nice too....even with the drone shot.
-
All of the skating is sick and all of the spots aside from Bingaman have made these parts interesting. The best filming has been in Remillard's, but Raney wins in my book for being articulate and having a message.

youre tripping hard if you think the park looked like that in the video. the flatbottom looked fucked up in a few spots but its clearly been repaired since this photo
-
I wanted to love Bingaman's part, but that was some bad filming and editing.
Skating was great but there was too much shaky camera work, too many random cuts, and the filmer cut the board or head out of frame most of the time. That was a pisser.
-
I liked Bingaman's part, I skate Power Inn a lot, kind of rad to see someone destroy it on that level. To the people saying the stuff is small, a lot of those bowls he is skating are 7 - 9" deep, that's not really small.
-
fs k-grind fakie. cut. print. done. we have a winner.
-
Daewon will win
-
whoever edited Rune's part must die. That switch flip to semi hang up was insane, but mostly it came off a lot like a vert part. Who the hell did they build that park for?
-
The filming, and editing blew hard in Rune's part. And what the fuck was going on with the music?!
-
Can the mega ramp be counted as tranny? Seems totally different than skating a bowl, especially if the tricks are over the gap.
I was just thinking about this. Most of these guys are skating big, (a lot sketchy DIY) concrete parks, padless and helmet less.... and then you got Bob skating a megaramp....
-
Rune put out the best part so far, let alone for the Penny cameo.
-

Obviously for Rune
-
Rune's part was kind of against the spirit of the contest. Skating a vert ramp and a street section in a transition video part is pretty wack, even if they are technically all in the same park.
-
I liked Runes part - that last rock'n'roll slide is crazy!! (but I'm also danish, so I might be 100 % biased.)
...but the editing was annoying! It reminds me of people in their 40s still being blown away by the fact you've made a Power Point representation.
-
skating a vert ramp in a transition part is wack? no comprende. also he had 1 street trick, which was a Tom Penny cameo moment
for me Rune's ties for first with Greyshon. i'm partial because i love Rune, but come on. back tail on oververt? rune fucking kills
i remember he broke his wrist in that contest a while back. nice to see it didn't slow him down
-
definitely dig runes part. those oververt tricks were gnarly as fuck.
-
the editing and the lack of lines made Runes part feel dated.
-
Runes part killed. Been waiting for some new stuff from him.
-
RUNE GLIFBERG EVERYBODY!!
-
I guess they're pretty open minded about what's transition and what is not. Would be quite difficult though to argue that vert ain't tranny.
Rune is still crazy after all these years and sweet ass kickflip from Penny.
-
are people really objecting to the 1 trash can trick? to me that was basically a cameo shot, like Raney having Ronnie Sandoval and Tony M.
the only other arguable one was a quarter pipe trick. if Raney can have tricks on that 3 ft. quarter pipe in Oakland i think this one's ok too
no disrespect to Raney's part. obviously it's gnarly and hard to skate, but how high is the biggest wall there? 7 feet?
-
runes was by far the best so far, unbelievable
back tail over vert skyscraper? come on
-
Congratulations to Bingaman, he did the 1 millionth tailslide of the contest!! Tisket a tasket, this motherfucker is getting a gift basket!
Why do you even bother?
-
that over vert shit was gnarly. The editing was a bit much but other than that I liked rune's part.
-

I'm not saying its not tranny, I'm saying its boring circus trick bullshit tranny- aka, vert. No lines, no variation, just a bunch of single over-tech tricks that are boring as shit to watch and a dude going back and forth instead of coming up with interesting lines.

You have lost the right to comment and be taken seriously on this thread. Do you actually think that was just a regular 3 foot spine? Ha. You fucking moron. Have you ever skated DIY? That shit has holes across the bottom, no way to really naturally approach it, and coping that is about 8 inches wider than the top of the spine. Its rough, its inconsistent...I could go on forever. Along with the fact that shit gets bigger there, a DIY park is simply gnarlier than a prefab cement park. You are right about "no disrespect to Raney's part," because nobody would take such a stupid fucking criticism seriously. You only really disrespected yourself.

"Have you ever skated DIY?" you sound like a real tough guy gipper. do you even lift?
i guess i should expect this kind of response from a 30 year old man who spends all day getting angry and arguing with 14 year olds online.
if you read my post, i was responding to people taking issue with Rune's "street" part and, i'm guessing, the quarterpipe he had a trick on.
let's face it, this is not that big:
(http://oi61.tinypic.com/2r3hycz.jpg)
[Raney seems like he's about 4 1/2 feet tall. so that puts this quarter at about 2 feet, give or take]
if you're saying you have a hard time skating that quarter pipe you must be the biggest pussy on this forum heheheheeh
-
^^you'd be surprised. that spine is actually pretty gnarly in person. unfortunately it looks pretty dainty on footage.
-
Honestly floop, have you ever skated a legit diy park? I seriously doubt it, making your shitty opinion worthless on the subject.
-
wow rune is fuckin gnarly, totally different flavor skating the bigger stuff. best oververt skater ever?
-
I've enjoyed them all so far!
-
I've enjoyed them all so far!
Despite my hating, I back this.

how the hell is rune still skating that hard without god damn pads while pushing 40?? fuck!
-
Rune just went to town! That was sick!
-

I agree, that oververt boardslide rocked. And the switch flip with the psycho primo catch, holy shit.
What animal was that at the beginning and is it in any way relevant to the part or park?
-
Plenty to critique with the filming and editing but in general hard to hate. Speaking of filming and editing, Remillard's filmer is crazy! Some of the shakiness was totally sketchy, but that was possibly the best close-up follow filming in transition I have ever seen.
So I just had the thought, most of us know full-length skate videos are generally better than web clips, but I just realized one pro of the series of web clips is the anticipation. Knowing I'm going to get a Raybourn or Daewon part but still having it be a surprise makes me excited when I realize it is after midnight (for me) and the new part is probably up. Damn you Berra for hiring someone intelligent and making me compliment your website!

he is a legend

BEN RAYBOURN! I am not at all surprised he filmed that in four days. BS nosemanny handout revert?! Blender would be proud. I knew he was going to be great when I first saw him eight years ago.

Raybourn is the fucking truth! nothing dull about that shit
-
Raybourn has my vote so far! That was insane.
-
Raybourn skating Lincoln City to GBH was just amazing. The part went by way too fast. So much good stuff, didn't want it to end.
Rewind grind nosegrab in a 10+ foot bowl is beyond gnarly, gliding a tailblock slide thing along the coping for so far just doesn't make sense, especially on that extension.
Did anyone notice how low he landed the Indy fastplant near the end? Fuck! He was like 2/3 of the way down the tranny when he put his wheels down. That's some Chuck Wampler type shit.
-
Contest officially over. Well done Raybourn.
-
Raybourn all the way. Fucking killed it
-
Best thing about this contest is seeing all these amazing parks.
-
Raybourn got my vote too.
his bag of tricks never ceases to amaze me! Daewon-like creativity with an old-school flair.
Oververt Rune was nuts as well. although I gotta say watching him skate huge stuff like that without pads/helmet made me uncomfortable...I must be getting old, soft or both.
-
Honestly floop, have you ever skated a legit diy park? I seriously doubt it, making your shitty opinion worthless on the subject.
is that best you can do? you're slipping gipper.
whether i've skated DIY doesn't make a difference for me determining that that quarterpipe is about 2 1/2 feet high. but yeah, i've skated channel street, marginal way, others... Raney is gnarly as fuck and his part as a whole was sick. wasn't arguing that. was just making an analogy (it's when you compare things) for people griping about Rune having some smaller stuff in his part.
you should go back to arguing with teenagers. that is your forte
-
rayborn part was gnarly. i saw him skate over the summer and its pretty amazing how casually he skates big tranny stuff.
-
Raybourn's part was gnarly as expected. judging this thing is ridiculous. probably not the hardest on paper, but i thought the boardslide to fakie looked like one of the scariest tricks. that bowl is massive
i wish they had these every day. going to be bummed when they run out
Ronnie's is probably going to be nuts
-
Raybourn so far. Fly out hand plants are fucked. Don't understand them at all.
-
Have you guys been watching the "On Location" segments for all of the parks? They're worth checking out. That London spot was crusty as fuck. Barely looked skateable. Nice to see skaters ruining a BMX spot for a change.
-
raybourn killed it but gotta go with rune

i've been enjoying those. not sure why they chose such super sad music though, and the same music for each one. i feel like i'm watching Schindler's List
-
Good that the Raemer's on location showed just how fucked that place is, and not all repaired like someone thought on the previous page.
-
Raybourn picked the funnest looking park, that place looks a fcukin blast. Runes park was awesome too

god you are dumb. The argument is over whether that thing was hard to skate, and others have confirmed that I am correct in my assertion that it is a weird, difficult to skate obstacle that is gnarlier than it appears. Again, please stop being stupid on the boards.
Raybourn killed it. Dude is endlessly fun to watch
-
Raybourn for the win
-
that spine was some domestic draft bullshit and you know it
-
Raybourn-- Keep the glasses, lose the shirt.

rune and rayborn were both awesome!
no disrespect to the other guys, who also ripped, but they really went to fucking town on both locations on some ridiculous shit nobody in their right mind would ever step to.

Rune's switch kickflip was like drinking a Bourbon County Stout at cellar temperature, while getting a massage from Italian lingerie models, overlooking Big Sur
Raney's boardslide on the 2 1/2 foot spine was like drinking a Bud Lite lime in a pool hall in Barstow
-

The only one worth watching so far has been Raney's. He is the only one with something interesting to say.

Vov has had plenty of kook moments, but those tricks were just mind-blowing. It was laughable when he was on that Superhumans show on History Chanel but watching that kind of makes me feel like yeah, he is a little super.
I am pissed the ladder wasn't attached for that final trick, but I am glad they showed it wasn't attached in the edit so they weren't trying to fake us out. As kooky as he can be, he is a skate-rat at heart for spending all of his money to make all of that and actually skate it all properly.
Still more excited for Daewon though hahahah.
-
holy shit vov. he rebuilt his halfpipe as a concrete pool, just cause a ramp can now only be a mega.... sw crooks back to switch on the goal ... dude went all in. where does he get the money? it's not like he's super marketable these days?
-

Yeah serious question: how is he so rich? I don't pay much attention to him so don't know but presuming he must an owner of some major company too to have that in your back garden.
-
Bob just did some stuff that no human should be capable of, but it still seemed hard to give a shit.
-
D'y'think Bob could recreate everyone else's parts if he wanted to?* Sure as shit nobody could recreate his.
*Until Daewon at least.
-
Bob is the gnarliest skater ever, Danny Way is probably crying in the corner right now and delaying the Plan B video again. A part like this for a Berrics contest, must be nice to be that good. I dont give a fuck if its a mega ramp for milions of dollars, That was absolutely nuts and Bob is the shit.
-
That half cab over willy grind was nuts.
-
that was mental - still prefer the rune/choad clips but still next level shit
-
I liked that way more than I thought I would.

I literally can't comprehend how Bob is able to do half the stuff he does. No one else is doing what he's doing.
-
The next best part is Raybourns, and Bob could probably do that entire part switch. Bob owns skateboarding doesn't matter if you can relate to it or not.
-
when vov did that one-foot smith I instantly heard the THPS Special sound in my head
-
Im usually not really into bobs stuff because it feels too unrelatable and foreign to me but I really enjoyed that. He was flowing so nicely in that part. Im glad he also skated the pool and not just the mega ramp. Been a while since Ive seen bob footage not on the mega.
-
I know i might be harping on this point but i think it be sick if brent actchley was asked to film a part for this stupid berrics tranny thing. It would be cool if they asked people who were rad to enter rather than 'whos hot'
-
Burnquist in a league of his own.....goddamn.
seeing Dreamland in person has got to be just overwhelming. I've never seen a Mega up close, I'd be curious. Probably scared just by looking at it.
-

He really does. I'm not a huge fan or anything but The jokes on anyone claiming it's circus shit and doesn't count as transition etc etc. as if the guy couldn't have ripped the other spots to shreds. Dude grew in Brazil skating the harshest shit. The idea that he couldn't blow out some crusty DIY spot is laughable.
-
I was blown away by Bobs stuff as usual even though the berrics player and my antiquated desk top dont get along very well. Definitely not bad for a guy who turns 38 today. Happy birthday VOV!

but got dammit he still manages to deliver ever time he puts out a part

"I'm not in to Bob but damn..." You guys know you don't have to play the part all the time right? Bob's sick. The end. Fucking clowns.

cool snowboarding stunts on his own ramp. Not impressed. flame away.

All of y'all talking shit on Raneys part are dumb. Can't talk shot unless you been there.

multiple wows said aloud when viewing burnquist
dude is a ripper, pure and simple
for those who are saying he's not raw enough, he's already been there done that. check the files 1996-2000
he wasn't on anti hero with young, roy, and all those dudes for nothing
-
Bob is the Daewon of vert. Just on a completely on a different planet than everyone else
-
the slow mo over use was annoying. the skating was phenomenal.
-
What the fuck did I just see
-
BOB FUCKING BURNQUIST FUCK EVERYBODY ELSE
Gotta see the attempts on those soccer post tricks!!!!
-
That soccer goal wasn't regulation, jk bob just won skateboarding again. That step up is 15 feet up atleast
I wonder what the other entrants think of this, Bob basically got thtem all disqualified. Twice as big tranny, twice as tech
-
fakie to front crook to fakie.... dude is fuckin on one. that sw fs o over the step ladder was fucking insane, not many people are doing sw fs o's

Who won the SOTY version for the Berrics? Luan? I feel like Bob is going to win based on Brazilians voting on the Berrics.

That's taking one of the premier tricks from one part and comparing it to filler in another. Apples to chicken noodle soup. They were both sick as fuck in completely different ways.

california ollie through the pool ladder to grind is a trick ive been dying to see for a long time. that was sick

I really don't know if Bob should have been included in this contest.
I mean by comparison nearly any footage he has put out of himself
on his mega ramp would have dwarfed other entries to the contest.
Not trying to denounce how good of a part he put out, it just
feels like it should have been in a competition of its own with
guys like Jake Brown and Danny Way.
Apart from that I think Rune is the winning guy for now,
his part was really cool.
-
Must be crazy being Bob Burnquist.
Let's see, what shall I do today. Fly my helicopter to look for backyard pools, grind a soccer post on top of a mega ramp or build a football field sized concrete pool in my backyard....

Front crook to fakie looked like a deathwish. Some tricks looked similar to his other insane part but whatevs..He's on his own level.
-
VOVVY VURNQUIST IS A FUCKIN AMINAL.

Is it a competition?
I was hoping it was just these guys putting out the parts for the Berrics/ the money / the skateboarding etc?
Fuck it, don't care, Bob is killing it. Where's his hot 17 year old?
Edit: Just watched to the end, that scream after the last trick as well as the one foot smith had me laughing loudly. Loved the part. (even though his one foot smith's should ALWAYS be bs)
-
i guess that's how you have to skate if you have an anti hero tramp stamp
-
i guess that's how you have to skate if you have an anti hero tramp stamp after choosing X-Games over Anti-Hero
Actually, I had to look up what happened between them and found an amazing interview I had never seen before with an intro by Julien!
Intro by Julien Stranger:
?For a long time he was just one of us, Hellriding, crusting around being a skate rat. Those were some great times for all of us for sure. I still hate the way things happened at the end of him riding for Antihero. That was complete bullshit. And I know he was pretty disappointed in us for not following him out the door. We?ll never know what might have happened. Bob had real responsibility with his sister and mom and I understand why he wanted to move down south and pursue some more commercial opportunities. I guess for me personally and in our friendship?both of us are pretty sincere dudes and that was kind of our connection aside from the skating. Northern California skaters were generally really sarcastic and just full time hecklers so for me it was nice to hang out with someone without the constant bullshit.
I gotta say too that going to some of those bigger vert contests in the 90′s and being in the stands and just screaming for Bob, a dude who I was on the same team with and who was just mopping up everyone switch, and who for me was the most exciting skater out there at the time, that stoked the shit outta me and all of us on the Hellride. He was always so on edge and he still is and I still get stoked.?
Then Bob's answers about Anti-Hero (and the tramp stamp hahah) are on the second page. http://skateboarding.transworld.net/features/pioneer-bob-burquist-full-interview-antihero-to-the-mega-2/2/ (http://skateboarding.transworld.net/features/pioneer-bob-burquist-full-interview-antihero-to-the-mega-2/2/)
Anyways, Ronnie Sandoval was rad. I love his slob plants and one footers in general. And that invert at the end was skilled as fuck, especially since he did it at least twice!

Must be crazy being Bob Burnquist.
Let's see, what shall I do today. Fly my helicopter to look for backyard pools, grind a soccer post on top of a mega ramp or build a football field sized concrete pool in my backyard....
First of all, Bob's part didn't seem real, just like his Oakley part last year edited to Creed. Two questions:
1. Was that video of him and Lance flying around in the helicopter looking for pools just an elaborate way to waste money? Could you not achieve the same goal using google maps?
2. Did Bob just cover his entire wooden vert ramp from the late 90s - early 2000s in concrete? Most of it looks the same to me.

Julien also mentioned that you had some responsibilities at the time supporting your mom and sister financially.
"The reality for me at that point was that I just had to do what I had to do. It was too restrictive to be in that situation. I just wanted to skate, but I also wanted to support them. It wasn?t really about being niche?d in cool. I wasn?t really from Northern California. I wasn?t from Southern California either, I was from Brazil. So to me it was just a natural move. I have a strong opinion and a strong will and I just wanted to do what I wanted to do. At that time it just happened that way. I outgrew it. They had a different mentality. Skating in the X Games or any events like that was completely the opposite of the proposal of what skating for Antihero was. But to me it was all the same. I just viewed it differently. To me it was just like, ?I?m gonna skate it all. I?m gonna skate everything I can. And I?m going to make a living off of skateboarding.? I could support myself and my family and meanwhile the whole of Brazil was stoked to get to watch one of their own in all these bigger events. It was a big deal because it was the first time we were winning one of them. To us it was just a different world. So there was a definite clash and I just figured, ?It is what it is.? I had moved down to SoCal by then and I was skating a lot more vert by then."

He really does. I'm not a huge fan or anything but The jokes on anyone claiming it's circus shit and doesn't count as transition etc etc. as if the guy couldn't have ripped the other spots to shreds. Dude grew in Brazil skating the harshest shit. The idea that he couldn't blow out some crusty DIY spot is laughable.
This.
"I'm not in to Bob but damn..." You guys know you don't have to play the part all the time right? Bob's sick. The end. Fucking clowns.
And this.
-
Ronnie was rad. So he skates tranny with Andy, Raney, and the rest of those dudes, and skates for a deluxe company, but it isn't antihero?
-
Ronnie Sandoval, Raney Beres, etc seem like the same person to me.
-
Ronnie killed it. I really liked it but it didn't have the hit after hit high-energy feel of the other parts. Kind of strange being that all the hits were there. I can't pinpoint what made that part not as exciting as the rest. Bunch if good shit though.
I wonder why he used construction as the reason for not filming at Channel Street. I just figured Daewon picked the spot first considering that during the time this was filmed it was still open, limited hours maybe but still, why not just say Daewon wanted that spot and has seniority. Stupid thing to wonder about, just thought it was weird.

Did anyone actually say anything like that or is it just conjecture? That'd be so ignorant it would surprise me, even coming from some of the slower children on here.
I personally think it would have been really cool if he would have picked a different spot, especially a gnarly old Brazilian park. He could have stayed in the same general terrain type as everyone else and still annihilated it. Others have pointed out the obvious detail that it's a contest and you can't fairly judge regular park or DIY park skating against mega ramp shit. Theres no comparison, the type of skating is too far apart. Different level shit.
I've really dug Bob since the Fucktards days and was hoping to see him skate other stuff. Seems like all you see from him anymore is dreamland, mega ramp, and big contest environments. I liked his part but aside from the bowl segments I just can't see putting it side by side with any other part from this and saying one is better than the other.
As crazy as the mega stuff was my favorite clips were all when he was in the bowl.

because all his best stuff at channel was put out in that lakai clip and the thrasher video. Plus putting out something like this at a SF based park, is something that helps please his sponsors. The stuff he would have filmed at channel would have been redundant.
-
now that most of the parts have dropped, I think something has to be said for the fact Fletcher was the only one to pick a spot he had never skated. all the others picked spots they knew really well already, and that changes everything when it comes to tranny. When you know the lines, you have a big head start.
I'm not saying Greyson's part is the best, but I think that factor should be taken into account...picking a park that gnarly that you've never skated is pretty wild in my opinion.
-
Daewon always has some trick that makes me say what the fuck out loud.
-
Boneless to bluntslide to fakie manual :o
-
360 varial! I am stoked to see that trick done out of a transition that big by Daewon. Also, all those variations of his two weird tranny tricks (the hand stall and the between-the-legs varial) were crazy.
So who wins? Well, I just got to watch Bob Burnquist, Ronnie Sandoval, and Dawon Song in a row. I say we win.
-
Inward heel fakie nose manny on that steep as fuck box :O
-
So much in Daewon's part did not make sense.
-
Noone else can skate like Daewon. Incomparable to any other "unique" take on vert / transition skating.
-
So much in Daewon's part did not make sense.
From picknick tables to DIY! Fuckin love it
-
Boneless to bluntslide to fakie manual :o
Best trick in it by far.
-
If Daewon was suddenly exposed as an alien whose body reacts differently to earth's gravity , it would all make more sense to me.
-
Don't care about seeing Daewon skate tranny. Circus tricks on one wall then a kickturn. And the previous comment about Greyson picking a huge place he's never even been to is spot on. Also Bob still wins.
-
Daewon and Bob did some amazing stuff but for me Greyson's part is still the standout for me. Terrifying park, deceptively hard park and all around destruction. Imagine if he had spent years skating that place before filming like everyone else did for their parts
-
Daewon is on a different level. The funny thing though my favorite trick was his opening backsmith with the truck jiggling.

here's the real question
Bob or Dae?
-
This as a contest is absolutely ridiculous. I hope they do it again, because the videos were amazing, but how do you compare those parts to each other? With that said, my favorite part was Raybourn's.
For the sake of starting a debate though (which is what makes posting in this place fun anyway), I'd say that Bob's tech on the big stuff was easily as impressive in terms of its technicality and creativity as Daewon's. Hippie jump to frontside nosegrind, switch hurricane in a vert pocket, half cab front crook to fakie on the mega- all of that shit is insanely technical, at least 2 out of 3 of those have to be nbd's, and there was a lot more. Sure, he does do as many flip tricks or manuals as Daewon, but Bob has a more natural "transition tech" trick selection than Daewon's circusy, but still fun to watch stuff.
And yeah, Antihero Bob footage is the best. He was the first vert skater I really liked to watch, his wild style switch runs on vert ramps were so amazing.
-
Damn, I can't think of any sort of video release "event" that I've enjoyed more than these. Every day getting to watch a new one is so fucking rad. I have nothing bad to say about any of the parts, but Raybourn's and Ronnie's were probably my favorite. That fucking invert on the fence at protrero is one of the coolest things I've seen done on a skateboard.
-
Best thing ever on the Berrics. All parts were rad. Top 3 for me: Raney, Ronnie, Raemers.
-
I love how despite having his own entry in the contest, Ronnie Sandoval also appears as a guest in Daewon and Raney's parts.

Except no one is putting Dae in the equation. Its Bob or Raybourn.
-
It seems to me that Daewon has to do the ridiculous stuff he does to keep it interesting for himself, his board control, balance and longevity are unmatched IMO.

Bob seems to have his own version of that +>10 feet of tranny.
-
Bob was the sickest even though he was skating his own spot the stuff he does is just obscene.
-
pretty hard to compare these parts. as gnarly as daewons tricks are he skates pretty slow. he did blast that huge air tho. and then as gnarly as bobs shit is hes kinda in his own category. either way this was the shit. and i watched all those on location things, i take back what i said about raemer park that shit was all kinds of tore up
-

What's funny about that is that I've had more than a handful of miniramp sessions with Daewon and it's never been like that. This is demo/video shit but during a normal session it's generally textbook tranny skating with fast lines, just super smooth and consistent, with a bit more tech thrown in here and there compared to what your average ramp ripper would toss into the middle of a run.
I enjoyed the shit out of this though, definitely way different than the other 9 parts.

Before I watched Daewon's part I started it over and [re]watched all of them in order 1-10, no pauses or rewinding. Came out with a different perspective. A couple people were absolutely right by saying that the winner of the contest is all of us who get to watch it. My personal favorites were Grayson, Raney, Rune (in that order). With Bingamin and Raybourn getting honorable mention. Really though that's just personal taste, they all killed it and were fantastic. My own recap:
Fletcher- Points for park choice, speed, flow, style, and I really liked Chris Gregson's filming. Great one-footed ollies. Air over the loveseat was ridiculous; such a sketchy looking wall. Best backside tailgrabs since 90's Rune. If you missed it, watch the landing on the channel ollie at 1:40.
Remillard- Liked it much more after a couple watches. Dude ripped. Schubert's filming was crazy but the follow actually made some big walls look smaller than they are. Really solid skating and a good part.
Raemers- Spot was fucked. Kickflip backside grab fakie and the 270 kickflip melon were both extra sick.
Raney- Overall presentation is still my favorite of all the parts. The halfcab 5-0 tail smack sticks out, lots of transfers, and not many people can probably flow that well through such an awkward spot.
Bingamin- Seems to get more hate than it deserves. Nollie 360 tailgrab was too easy to miss. The tailslide revert > switch tail revert line was cool, love halfcabs to fakie on tranny, and things like the halfcab nosestall are so hard but. Also, front crook through corner, long ass nosegrinds, and good mix of big tranny gnar and small tranny trickery. Anyone who has bad things to say about this must be pretty hard to please.
Glifberg- Always like Rune. He's so good that expectations are super high bit he met them. I liked the limited vert ramp stuff, and thought the late shuvit over the trash can was a nice touch. He can toss in a 'street' trick of he wants, he's fucking Rune.
Raybourn- Amazing as always, and came through with an amazing part. Loved the lofty backside 180. All along, since 1031 days, he's been doing the kind of tricks that a lot of people are doing now (saran wraps, judos, boneless and fastplant variations, etc) before many started skating tranny like that again. Probably heavily influenced guys like Raney, Ronnie, Kevin Kowalski, and many others. Plus: GBH!
Bob- I still don't think it can be fairly compared with the other parts, but it was mind melting stuff. Yeah, it's stuntman'esque, but it's all still done on a skateboard so can't take away from it. Bob's in a league of his own, no question.
Sandoval- Damn that kid rips. Liked it more the 3rd or 4th time around but can't hate on this kid. He owns that fence.
Daewon- More board control than just about any other skater, ever. So many ridiculously hard tricks. The 'circus trick' stuff just seems like a way for him to push his ability. When you're that good you gotta get weird to keep progression moving.
-
Schismatic pretty much nailed it, I'm in complete agreement. The only thing I would argue is that Raybourn has influenced kowalski, etc. All those young dudes have been doing that type of skating as long as raybourn, his wealthy background has just had him in the public eye longer than your average working class skater.

You could well be right, just my own take. I used to really like 1031and have watched Raybourn go from a 16 y/o little shredder to what he is now, and kinda forgot how young he actually is. I guess that was only around '07/'08; not really that long ago.
I don't know his family background but have been through his hometown (Rosenberg TX) and it never struck me as a really affluent place but regardless of that I think his skating has had much more to do with being in the public eye than his parent's income.
Speaking of Kevin Kowalski- I would've liked to have seen him in this. Maybe there'll be a round 2 with guys like Kowalski, Cody Lockwood, Squints, and other rad tranny rippers who deserve more coverage. One can hope.
-
If there is a part two hopefully it would include Kowalski, Lockwood, Russo, Grant and Raven.
-
i was about halfway through bobs part thinking "ahh... this isnt that great compared to some of the other stuff hes done." then he starts grinding that fucking soccer goal. some of that shit is just too gnarly to comprehend.
-
My personal top 3 would be: Greyson, Raybourn, Remillard, in whatever order.
All parts killed it though.
Daewon and Burnquist both stand out as out of this world, plus they're about my age, but I have to say their parts don't inspire me that much to go skate, it's like we don't even live in the same reality.....
-
Daewon !! WHAT R U DOING
all the vids were impressive, still think Runes part was best
-
Rune gets my vote.

-
I voted for ronnie. It was hard though. I think I picked him because he surprised me the most. I havent seen much of him and he blew my mind. Dae and bob might have done more mind blowing shit but I was expecting them to. If that makes sense
-
Fletcher and Remillard's parts were my favorites so far.......they both have awesome style methinks.
I really liked that alley oop fs tailblock thingie by Beres though. Am I the only one to think he looks/skate exactly like Tim Upson ?
Yea he's like if Upson and Andy Roy had a baby, and took that baby to full term instead of getting a back alley abortion.
-
ronnies part was dope and tbh potreto isn't the gnarliest park but the deep end of that pool is no joke and he made it look easy as fuck. but like other fools in this thread i think its dumb they made this a contest. i aint voting on shit all these fools get propers because i enjoyed every part
-
RAEMERS

VOV = Switch God.
The most shocking part of that video to me was that he's still hooked up by Hurley. Had no idea they were still in the game.

Which brings me to my next question: what the hell is that sliding tailblock he does?? ( grabbing indy) I don't think I've ever seen that. NBD or just another forgotten old trick?

if you think this, you don't have eyes. watch it again seriously! the rest of the contestants ripped don't get me wrong. i highly doubt though that ANY of them could do more than 3 of the tricks in his part. daewon could do 5+ tricks out of everyone's parts no problem (except bob's)!

Daewon might be scared to death of Mammoth (with reason). He sure as hell isn't getting circus-y in there. Also one miracle trick at coping level followed by a kickturn....yeah sorry dude, you don't skate tranny.

Last I heard of Upson was his baby's mamma writing a letter to Lowcard claiming he was a piece of shit and a deadbeat dad who ran off on her and their child. It was pretty much the most amazing thing ever printed in lowcard.

What did Daewon win?
-
The ability to win a tranny contest and a manny contest (2-Up) is seriously impressive. It is hard to think of anyone else currently that could do that. I doubt it would ever happen, but it would be frightening if Daewon became obsessed with handrails.
