This is info I never knew I wanted to see. Props on this. Also, surprised neither did a switch tre at all.

I feel like this can be a section at Jenkemmag. You plan on doing any other skaters?

Yes I considered adding, but Appleyard's Digital part had a bit too much b-roll so I left it out to keep it even at 5 vids each.

These are fun! Wild that they did nearly the same amount of tricks.

Was it you who did this with Fully Flared or someone else?

I did Menikmati, see posts above with the infographic on that one. I also did a quick breakdown (no graphic) Steve Williams The Reason

The stereotype is that Asians are good in math, well that's actually true for me as well.

I was re-watching Stevie's Transworld part in The Reason, obviously well-noted for his long lines and mostly filmed at Love Park. But this time around I couldn't help but dig a bit deeper and pull same interesting data from the video part. I had fun doing this and might make this a regular thing. Anyways, Stevie Williams part in The Reason:

  • Time duration of part = 4m 34s
  • Actual skating from Stevie = 2m 10s or 48% of total part
  • Rest of video part (intro, Kevin Taylor & Josh Kalis) = 2m 20s or 52%
  • Stevie's first line = 40s long or 31% of his skating or 15% of the total video part
  • Stevie's total video clips filmed = 14
  • 11 clips filmed @ LOVE / 2 clips @ The Pier / 1 clip @ Brooklyn Banks

I have not, I just do this as a hobby in my spare time and I really enjoy working in Excel. I started this one about 3 months ago and worked on it bit by bit. The idea with this one kickstarted when I noticed how few lines Appleyard films, and it went from there. I don't even remember why I added Janoski data so the fact they almost filmed the same about of tricks (238 vs. 237) tripped me out when I started working the numbers.

This is rad. Most commonly done/favorite tricks would be an interesting tidbit to add, like how many times janoski tre-flipped, switch flipped, or nollie frontside flipped, or how many times appleyard nollie heeled or nollie flipped into something, stuff like that.

I did the Fully Flared one forever ago. http://youwillsoon.blogspot.com/2008/04/fully-flared-statistical-analysis.html

After it came out even though it was shitting on Fully Flared, Kelly Bird posted on the Lakai site that he was looking to talk to the person who did it. I hit him up and did a modified version that was strictly numbers, no opinion and it made it into the Final Flare boxset book. For my contribution I got two pairs of Caroll Selects, as well as a pair of Lakai slippers, and eight Lakai shirts that I never wore.

Good stuff Gideon, I really like it.

I've looked into that one, but we use Tableau at my work. I'd viz the data through there but it's the company's license.

Whoa I've never seen this but it's awesome. Once you start you have to finish the work. That's cool you got product out of it. I've wanted to do one for Yeah Right as I feel like that video over-indexes with the amount of manny tricks in it.

Good work, Gideon.

I see what you're saying but both Mark and Stefan put out at least 5 solid video parts in almost 10 years which is a solid pro career so they're dip in footage and output is okay by me. Much better than the Baker formula for most of their riders which is go big, sell products, get addicted to something, skating suffers, get sober. Rinse & repeat.
