Already down due to a Genesis copyright claim. You're regular if you think you're gonna us a Psychic TV track, put it on YouTube, and get away with it.

Got as far as JJ before it crashed, and I have to say: it's pretty shit so far.

Skateboarding is probably excellent, but the soulless lack of any kind of vibe kinda meant it was doomed from the outset and I don't remember any of it.

Shame.

Non YouTube link that still works, I think. Surprised not many people in the premier thread were talking about Justin Henry. That’s his name right? He was the highlight of the video for me. Classic part, and I don’t think there’s a single trick that doesn’t need to be in there. Everyone else was cool too, wish there was more JJ and Al Davis of course.

The skating was excellent, no doubt...

but my main takeaway is that the spirit of AWS is really truly dead. I had hoped Quasi could carry the torch for skate vids with the same ambition and spectacle as a Photosynthesis or a Mind Field, but this just doesn't stand out visually from the constant stream of skate vids being pumped out by the dozen. Just feels uninspired.

Maybe that's unfair to Quasi. I'm just a sad AWS 1.0 fan boy with nowhere to turn.

Not even that but skating in raw denim like that in the sun just gets so damn nasty with all the sweat that will form. I skated in the RAW Levis 501s and it was like I pissed in my pants after skating in them.

All the AMs and Crockett killed it. Justin Henry's part was a great way to kick off the video. JJ, Al Davis and Bledsoe's footage was sick, just wish there was more footage from the pros, as only Gilbert came through with a full part.
Title: Re: Quasi: "Mother"
Post by: Andy_Roys_Left_Nut on July 16, 2018, 05:10:11 PM
Bit gutted Jake and Al Davis didn't have more footage.
If it wasn't in purple either then where the fuck is it?
Enjoyed the vid as a whole though. Wasn't a Rizzo fan but
his part was really good and that ender was bananas!
Title: Re: Quasi: "Mother"
Post by: shannamal on July 16, 2018, 05:19:18 PM
Gilby had the best part, clearly. He had a few what the fuck tricks, like that back 3 manual.

However, JJ's no comply 5-0's will always get me juiced. That's the most fucked up trick. I spent the better part of a week trying to learn them once and didn't even get close.

Ill always love any and all JJ footy, I cant help myself. It was great that he shared a part with Al because both of their styles are just amazing. Gil def came through the hardest, Justin Henry was a perfect opener. I liked the short but sweet Bledsoe part too. Everyone killed it, dont get any of the hate.

Don't think anyones hating but that Jake footage is mostly old. Bearing in mind his two major sponsors
have just released major videos and he's had a total of around 12 tricks - irrespective of their quality leaves me feeling dissapointed as Quasi and converse unlikely to release major vids again any time soon. Not 'hating' -  just wanted more Jake & Al.

Pretty sure it's this. My dad introduced me to the Langley School Music Project and it's amazing. I believe it was a Canadian teacher several decades ago who had his elementary music class sing all sorts of classics and he recorded all of them. Years later the tapes were discovered and made into a CD. There's some really great songs from the kids.

Soundtrack was amazing, I especially loved the use of zappa's sleeping in a jar... Madvillainy shout out. Bledsoe and JJ had about as much stuff as I was expecting, we probably won't see long full parts from either of them again but their stuff always hits hard for what it is. I know I'll be rewatching multiple times and I think this is the perfect length for a full-length in 2018.

I disagree because I think it was super interestingly shot.  But the main thing is that AWS is dead, Quasi isn't AWS and has never really portrayed itself as being AWS so you've kind of set yourself up for disappointment.

Non YouTube link that still works, I think. Surprised not many people in the premier thread were talking about Justin Henry. That’s his name right? He was the highlight of the video for me. Classic part, and I don’t think there’s a single trick that doesn’t need to be in there. Everyone else was cool too, wish there was more JJ and Al Davis of course.

The sight go in my top 10 of favourite videos ever.

Nothing, absolutely nothing that I disliked.

Also a serious question, does anyone know if Gilbert took martial classes?
He skates like he did, even when he's on rails his arms move in that 'flowy' way.

It's a compliment though :-)

That being said, I’ve watched this video twice and it doesn’t really do anything for me... what about this video gets you guys hyped?

I don’t get how anyone is hating on Gilbert’s part. His evolution has been insane. His pop and board control is top notch . The tre flip up the curb in one line was like two feet high and he landed like 4 from where he popped. Also his manual game is on point. I’d even go as far to say as he deserves more love than Jake gets. He’s consistent , has good style and great pop. Skates everything and picks spots that people aren’t skating constantly. Dudes put out like 15 minutes of footage since quasi started .

i'd argue that Gilbert Crockett is the perfect progression of skateboarding from the Mosaic-era.  I'm generally curious of how you can be a fan of Mosaic parts like Renaud's... and then dismiss Gilbert as "modern skateboarding"

in other words, Gilbert Crockett picked up where your precious Mosaic left off...

First time through Gilberts part was on my phone, which really didn't do it justice.

Second pass was on a full size monitor... Getting to see those pants in all their glory and the power behind his tricks. Hyped on this part for sure.

Anyone heard why it was taken down so quick? I had to watch it on pornhub. Which in itself was hilarious to me . It was weird to see Jake in HD . Even though he only had a few tricks all of it was insane. He’s so good it’s really upsetting he hasn’t filmed more cause a lot of that felt like him just fucking around . Also the filming on al’s line ending with the switch crook didn’t do it justice . I was sitting there like that’s not super impressive, and then he had the switch back smith on the same ledge with a different angle and I was like damn that thing is a high as fuck.

I guess if you took Danny Renaud from Mosaic, gave him Adrian Lopez’s style, covered him in ink stickers, dressed him like a long shoreman and made his tricks less impressive, then yes; Gilbert Crockett picked up right where Renaud left off.

Pretty good video. Wish it had more Bledsoe, Davis and Johnson footy though. Don't see why they wouldn't wait on filming a bit more with those cats and then drop it?

Some of the trou is a bit ridiculous though. Whatever, pretty good video.

This is not the instant classic video I was expecting. I liked the video, but was hoping for more JJ, Al Davis and Bledsoe footage.
Dick Rizzo is growing on me, Justin Henry has a good style but his part needed some more work/bangers.

The montage is good but it looks like the video was botched and would have been way better if they had give it 6 additional months to film.

Post by: SonictheHedgehog on July 19, 2018, 04:31:55 AM
Crockett's prolific output the past few years is impressive. Dude can stack footage.

This part was really good, but someone is really trying to compare it to Renaud in Mosaic? C'mon man. First of all Renaud kicked off his respective part and was an unknown. Then you had the perfect storm of top notch filming (Castrucci, Strobeck) , spot selection (all over the country- but in particular that line in Delaware with the nollie 180 down the 9 set is a great example) , editing (that Cymande track is a bonafide classic now), and of course the skating itself- particularly Renaud's style. No slight to Crockett- but that Renaud part is on the shortlist of all-timers.

I don't really care one way or another about names before parts but if you don't know the dudes in this video it just means you don't follow skating for shit.

There are hundreds of companies and thousands of pro/ams/flow now.  no, i have other things to do than memorize the faces of people that nobody will remember in a year (not specifically talking about anyone in this video)

Everybody in this video except for justin, have been pretty relevant since at least 2014.  Even justin henry is pretty known if you read thrashers or follow spitfire online.  You guys should spend more time watching actual skateboarding than hangin out in the set ups thread.

Great skating, surprised that I actually liked some of Dick Rizzo's footage because his name is so bad (good?) that I can barely stand to look at the dude. Bigspin over the bump to bar was well done.

Not at all into Josh Wilson.

Had much higher hopes for JJ and Al, but there were a few gems.

Gilbert is obviously super good but I have a hard time looking past heinous gear. I remember the pant cuffs more than anything and that does a huge disservice to some sick skating.

Except for a few exceptions, the filming was pretty bro-cam looking. Shaky, bad framing, bad exposure/color, and in general the HD footy seemed out of place with a lot of the soundtrack. Definitely felt like it would have translated better if it was all vx1000.

Nothing I would re-watch, but I like Quasi regardless and still think it's rad they put out a proper video, even if it seemed like it was quickly thrown together by someone without much experience.

Not a fan of the VX I take it? I've seen plenty of HD releases that are fine, and fitting for the brand/people they were affiliated with. The use of vx1000 snippets and all the other older sd imagery didn't mix well with much higher contrast/sharper HD footage, but that's just my opinion. If the filming and editing was better, who knows? Maybe they captured the exact feel they were going for.

Not everyone is jocking Quasi as hard as you guys. I'm with BMCsteve on this one. I'm not big into Quasi personally but wanted to check this video out to see what all the fuss is about. Didn't know some of the riders and still have no idea. Whatever. I'm not cool and in the know and don't think their art direction is anything special so maybe I'm not their target market. Still wouldn't hurt to put the names there cuz there was some nice skating in there and I'd like to connect that with the right person.

agreed.  my complaint wasn't specifically about Quasi.  It goes for a lot of videos that have come out over the past couple years.  I come from the generation where you only knew who was who because their photo was in a mag or their video part came out.  both of which would have their name associated with it.  I don't sit on team pages or instagram accounts to know who everyone is.

Justin Henry should know people who scream like psychos about how they're going to hurt someone usually get knocked out. Dick Rizzo and Josh Wilson are the truth. I forgot Gilbert was in Ride The Sky and that he can do big handrail shit so I was a little more impressed by those maneuvers than maybe I should have been. But I love it.

They don't put their names on the pro boards, maybe some times on the top sheet. Same with FA/Hockey. I don't think it's that big of a deal.

Not trying to come for your throats or anything, but if you post on this site and dont know these guys you obviously arent paying attention.  Most the people I see complaining about no names are the same people that dont take the time to read the magazines your claiming you get your info from.

you just spent more time compiling that than it would have taken their editor to just add the names.  You also know what's great about all of those links?  THEY LIST THE NAME OF THE SKATER.  Imagine reading the article with a pic of the dude and then having to go look up who he is.  Instead of "An Interview with Quasi Team Member Justin Henry" they just had "An Interview with a Quasi Team Member"

You're correct, I'm not paying attention to every single skater on the planet.  There is a good chance that every single team has "pros" and ams that I've never heard of. 

I just don't see any advantage to NOT listing the names before parts and see nothing but disadvantages if you don't

Yes, there is an advantage of sorts.

It is sort of like how the Yankees do not have last names on their jerseys. It's an attempt to absorb the individual, or the Subject if you will, into the mass spirit...

Like how the pistons of an engine are essentially absorbed and made transparent in the greater Working of the car...

I love how we’re complaining about names on a video when the team has 7 dudes and this forum has circle jerked or hated like 5 of them Over the last decade.

I do agreed though. It would’ve actually been cool if the just did the moms names when they showed the pictures instead of the skaters. Videos obviously polarizing but quasi is one of the brands out lately. Maybe they just one or two more mainstream popularity people to get it bigger.

I can pull up more examples, because I’ve actually skated Quasis. The last Gilbert board I had listed his name plus the name of the artwork, Bottom truck went over it, so it wasn’t visible.

Gilbert, Bledsoe, Al, JJ shouldn’t need to be introduced. Dick Rizzo and Josh Wilson have been getting coverage for the past couple years. Justin Henry is in the mags and had a shared, opening part in some Chicago video in the past year or so.

Are there really people on SLAP who don't know who Gilbert Crockett is? I thought this place was full of skate nerds but you don't even have to be one to know who Gilbert is

I watched this about a dozen times. they did a pretty great job putting this together with so many different film formats. thats hard. I think in a way that gives this more of a promo feel to it even though its a full vid.

 I don't really get how people are confused about who is who, no one in this video is genuinely new. the names are at the end of the vid if ur really that concerned. I can understand Justin Henry but the rest are pretty well established. if you watched ANY bronze video you should know who josh Wilson and dick Rizzo are. liking how both of those guys are developing as skaters.

surprised Jake was able to sit on some of that footage for as long as he did. he might as well have reused some older footage to flesh out the part and I would not have been mad at that, just to see it with some quasi art direction instead of other peoples.

this is going to be a cult classic in a few years. the skating is just so top notch. whatever their next video will be is going to bonkers. I think they really just needed to get this first one out of the way to feel out some aesthetics on video because it felt like they were trying a lot of different things with each skater. can't wait to see some quasi tour vids or if they add a few more pieces.

My need for titles probably is a little more severe than others here. I took a hiatus from skateboarding and following skating so long it could be qualified as quitting, from like 2009-2015.

I’m fully back in for life but sometimes I still don’t know who tf someone is and this no title trend ain’t helping.

this video doesn't really do it for me. i've tried watching it three times now and i think Gilbert's part is the only saving grace, really. the individual clips, a lot of those are good. I just feel like the way the vid was put together could have used a little more time/thinking through. I like Will Rosenstock's and Paul Young's work on their own, but something about this editing seemed confused, hodge podge. also I've never understood the art direction behind Quasi. just seems really random. go ahead and kook me. as far as 2018 full lengths, Purple strikes me as a far better video.

i agree w all this. full lengths in general just don't have that much of a impact and companies realise it. some of the hyperbole surrounding this video on this forum was laughable.

I too agree with this, minus the comment regarding Purple as I felt that video was just a random attempt to capture the Cons team. Too be quite honest, the lack of direction has actually caused me to refrain from buying these boards at all. I have the Lou Reed one hanging and that was a gift from a friend. Even though I love Lou, I still wouldn't have bought myself that board. Gil's part is the only part I'd rewatch if I were to ever own this video, something that will not happen unless its given to me.

I'd guess a lot of people here are older and have been heavily invested in "the culture" for decades.  Now we have jobs kids etc and use Slap to help keep us connected to what we love, since we might not get to skate as much as we want.  I want titles so I can find new favorite skaters-I can tell you everything about Underworld Element but could use a little help with newer smaller companies like Quasi.  If you ride skateboards and love skating, you're a skater.

theres only like 6-7 people in the video and i assume you know the pros. its only like 3 people whos names you have to find and theyre all listed in the end credits. i think no titles always beats cheesy looking titles. unrelated but i hate when guest skaters or ones in the montage get the same looking titles as people with full parts. kinda confuses me

Theres so many heads out up and coming I stopped caring  about titles. Credits usually make up for it, and if I see a name I recognize or I find out who did what trick I'll go back, and watch it all again. Skate videos don't have the same rules as movies,but I get where one could find it annoying like that dude in Modus.
Even though Mother seems a little all over the place editing wise it was still a good watch and rewatch. The only video I haven't rewatched this year was Album. Go figure.

Okay, about this - and I don't mean this in a negative way, against you - but what does being a skater consist of? Is there really a certain mindset and culture you have to adhere to, is there a certain number of times you have to skate in order to truly become a skateboarder? I'm just interested in other people's views on this. I personally think that if you just ride a skateboard once in awhile at least, then you're a skateboarder. Because "skateboarder" or "football player" or "poet" or whatever else isn't a title or distinction.

For some reason, I seriously doubt Vinnie Ponte could ID the majority of the Quasi team.

Personally, I'm pro-titles. There's an absolute avalanche of skate content out there -- I consume what I can and retain the stuff I like the best so any titles are helpful. There's tricks/clips I've been enjoying for 20 years and I still to this day have no idea who the skater is. Do the skaters themselves really not care? Especially if they are trying to blow up and the entire name of the game is get your name out there as much as possible. There's really no reason not to do it.
