Really looking forward to this. I’ve heard of some of the tricks he’s done. Anticipating a well thought out part. The title of the part hints at some mirrored tricks?

It’s not really fair to compare him to his younger self but I don’t think he can top his cross continental part. But I want to be wrong. That part as a whole is outstanding. Him and Miguel together are quite a team.

Have a pretty good feeling about this project, Justin Albert and Suciu always come through with amazing projects. Also after reading Mark's interview in thrasher last week I'm excited to see those photos translated to footage.

Did you see his recent Thrasher interview? Mark is definitely on a tear and fully excited about skating his hardest again. He’s not distracted and definitely gives a shit. Looking forward to this

Yea this is gonna be a good one. He said most of the stuff he put out since Away Days was throwaway for this part. The photos/sequences in Thrasher make it look like his part yet.

To say that he topped Cross Continental would be a vast understatement.

Saying what skateboarding should be is ridiculous. Don’t like Suciu’s approach then don’t watch. But since you will watch just shut up and enjoy.

Pretty funny how shook people are about someone actually thinking about and planning their video part and then writing less than a page describing the process behind it.

Pretentious? Homie is one of the top pros in the game and he premiered it at his local skate shop.

It's the presentation that's pretentious. That design is intended to resemble an art exhibition. Every good skater 'actually thinks about and plans their video part' and won't write anything about it not because they can't, but because the point is letting the skating do the talking. Which Suciu's definitely can.

I'm interested in this though, I'm interested in Suciu's skating. But the whole pseudo-intellectual persona he's trying to pull has been making me cringe lately (and I've been patient for years to see how far he would take it). Only in skateboarding can one think they've reached the greatest echelon of humanity for going to college.

I like the idea of breaking the norm of skate video screenings and exploring different possibilities in presentation, too, why the fuck not. But as an aesthetic, this is easy and cheap in addition to not making much sense (besides aligning with a marketing gimmick). Ah well I guess the shop guys had fun with it.

I’ll take back the “probably more towards Bam” part. There’s room for skateboarding to be both as dumb as a CKY video and as thought out as a Suciu part.

Suciu is top 3 favorite current skaters and might be my 2019 SOTY pick, I can’t wait for this shit, even if that Verso statement comes off as taking himself too seriously.

He definitely reeks of “I went to college” and some of the stuff he does makes me cringe (Jenkem content if I recall correctly) but given that probably 1% of pros actually pursue higher education, more power to him I say, and he’s still young and learning. I’d take a dozen Suciu’s for every single Andy Roy.

Yeah that's true, I spoke a bit too quickly but thinking about it, the skaters you bring up could also be seen as actual exceptions that actually stood out for actually not needing to think and plan their skating for it to be so valuable. They just had so much raw talent that literally everything they would do at their peak was so undeniable they basically wrote chapters of the book for others to follow. One doesn't need to be a historically revolutionary skater to belong to that kind either, naturally talented skaters are everywhere and always will be throughout time I'll give you that.

But for one natural skater, how many of them are working men who actually think their respective aesthetics through and put conscious work into how they would like their skating to look or be presented? I could raise you the names of Henry Sanchez, Puleo, Oyola and tons more in the mid to late 90's (subsequently to the era you are referring to, interestingly) or pros from as far back in the 80's or even the popularly ridiculed - in terms of general aesthetics - BPSW epoch who still obsessively cared about how their craft was portrayed, yet never built such an altar to themselves.

But regardless of Suciu's persona and this presentation being a caricature, it's one I can actually take too because it's always a more positive influence than hellride everything I guess. But equating actual intelligence and education to given looks and commercial presentations is also pretty scary to me in general.

Also, now playing the devil's advocate: I wouldn't be so certain that none of Gonz's shit was ever calculated.

I’m definitely not gonna argue that plenty of skaters plan their parts meticulously but I’d say an equal amount just skate and get filmed and to use your words, let their skating do the talking.

Also fully agree on equating intelligence/education as being scary.

Yeah pretentious is a good word to describe it, or just overkill. This isn't a school project this is fucking skateboarding. Theres nothing wrong with thinking about skating and planning out tricks or even a part but the act of not only writing down a preface to video part and then having it blown up and hung in a skate shop is a bit over the top. What is this an autobiography? Dudes not even 30 yet. And where else would be premier it? No one is renting out a theater for a 4-5 minute video part hahaha.

Honestly this is the dumbest take ever. Passing judgement on the behavior of others is the fundamental activity of all society, from the federal legislative body all the way down to some random guy on the street saying "nah fuck that."

I’ve always loved your Krooked Kronicles part. How was that to make after all those years putting out little homie vids? Had to be pretty insane, man.

That part is just so young, man. You really have to look at it through the parts I liked growing up. Because at that time, it was all about guys like Koston, PJ Ladd and P-Rod. Pushing the limits of technical street skating. The type of skating where you’re constantly trying to get the best fucking tricks you can possibly get. Not that style wasn’t as much a part of it, because it always is, but you couldn’t be out there filming basic tricks on flat with an ollie over a fire hydrant for a line. You had to be doing really hard tricks, first. That was the era, trying to break the mold with all-new shit.

So for me, as Bobby Worrest, I want to get on that same level as Paul Rodriguez. What do I gotta do? Backside noseblunt this, kickflip backtail that… film lines that take 3 fucking days to do. But that’s what skateboarding was back then.

Yes, laws that restrict liberties are the same as some dude riding a skateboard in his preferred manner.

It's fine to not like it, but doing so because Mark is too smarty is pretty fucking stupid considering how many videos exist to glorify a skater's take on whatever they're doing. If that wasn't on the wall and was a voice over 90% less people would care in this thread.

There was a Greco interview where he revealed his method for his part was writing tricks down and when he filmed the name he’d write them on a piece of paper, make it into a ring, and build a paper chain he hung on his wall.

Post by: DannyDee on July 23, 2019, 02:12:01 AM
One of Suciu's biggest influences if you hear him interviewed is Pops, especially Mosiac-era Pops. Pops during that time was always really particular about his footage and what he put out. I'm pretty sure Tim O'Connor says in the Mosiac commentary that Pops had a decent amount of stuff taken out of his part because it didn't match the aesthetic he was going for.

Can't wait to see this part. I didn't think he could top Cross Continental, so anything close to that will probably end up being the part of the year.

Went to the premiere last night and this part is fucked up good. It's eleven minutes long, broken up by city or region, lots of long lines, lots of gnarly stuff, he skates to two Beirut songs, might be his best part yet (though I think it would have helped to split the part in two and have it bookend a full-ish video). I think there was a Euro/international section, a middle section I can't remember, a hefty New York section, and a final ledge line section.

SPOILERS:
There are a bunch of lines at Lloyds where he pops into and out of the ledges onto the inlaid stairs.
At the Milan train station, he does a line that starts with a switch tailslide pop-out over the stairs and ends with a switch flip back tail shove.
Plenty of hard-way stuff down rails and hubbas, I.E. cab back noseblunt to regular a hubba and frontside 180 switch backside 5-0 (I think, he had a few clips here) down the Rockaway rail. There was plenty of good, old-fashioned jumping, too - nollie frontside 360 D7 and switch 360 flip a big double set near Battery Park.
Fair amount of weird, quick-foot stuff I.E. on a cellar door that has two chains running perpendicular to the slope, he hops to the top section and pops down to each section.
Towards the end, some of the ledge tricks he does get super fucked up, and they're pretty much all in lines. Off the top of my head, I remember a switch backside flip to regular nosegrind back to switch, a nollie backside 180 switch backside nosegrind frontside half cab (at the ABC ledges), nollie front heel switch frontside nosegrind half cab, and a fakie flip switch frontside 5-0 switch backside 180 out.

Overall, it's a really gnarly and memorable part, I'm looking forward to watching it again and learning a little more about the thought process that went into all of those lines. He said it'll be live August 2nd.

I think it's fine he plans his parts as long as all the tricks look very good. If I wanted to see improv I'd look at his Instagram stories. Social media lets us see random skating 24/7 so it's nice to have some "longform" every once in a while where everything is a bit more considered and tight.

Contrapposto

As opposed to antipasto, is a style of sculpture, meant to make me sound very thoughtful.  Since I graduated college in 2010, I have been living my life through skating shitty spots mainly behind grocery stores and posting dumb shit on slap messageboards.  I want to make posts that make people smile, laugh and chuckle, or “contrapposto”, if you will.

In late 2018, I was riding back from my shitty local park in my used pick-up truck, imagining up some dumb thread topics to post.  I kept visualizing titles, “How High Can You Ollie?”, “Supreme Sucks and is Overrated”.  I kept seeing parallels, repeating fractals, the Mandelbrot set repeating into infinity, the creation of the universe, life itself.  I was reading PM’s from Compliments4U and I realized this went beyond “shit posting” or “kookshit”, what I had were some of the dumbest thoughts on skateboarding the world had ever known.

For two years I have assembled unfunny jokes and slide mark critiques into a cohesive whole.  I’m looking forward to what everyone thinks about these.  I want to thank LandonPrimo, Complements4U, Armin Tanzarian, Buttface FartDick, Papo, and all the people that made this project what it is -and I think we really are there.

Towards the end, some of the ledge tricks he does get super fucked up, and they're pretty much all in lines. Off the top of my head, I remember a switch backside flip to regular nosegrind back to switch, a nollie backside 180 switch backside nosegrind frontside half cab (at the ABC ledges), nollie front heel switch frontside nosegrind half cab, and a fakie flip switch frontside 5-0 switch backside 180 out.

Overall, it's a really gnarly and memorable part, I'm looking forward to watching it again and learning a little more about the thought process that went into all of those lines. He said it'll be live August 2nd.

Went to the premiere last night and this part is fucked up good. It's eleven minutes long, broken up by city or region, lots of long lines, lots of gnarly stuff, he skates to two Beirut songs, might be his best part yet (though I think it would have helped to split the part in two and have it bookend a full-ish video). I think there was a Euro/international section, a middle section I can't remember, a hefty New York section, and a final ledge line section.

SPOILERS:
There are a bunch of lines at Lloyds where he pops into and out of the ledges onto the inlaid stairs.
At the Milan train station, he does a line that starts with a switch tailslide pop-out over the stairs and ends with a switch flip back tail shove.
Plenty of hard-way stuff down rails and hubbas, I.E. cab back noseblunt to regular a hubba and frontside 180 switch backside 5-0 (I think, he had a few clips here) down the Rockaway rail. There was plenty of good, old-fashioned jumping, too - nollie frontside 360 D7 and switch 360 flip a big double set near Battery Park.

Contrapposto

As opposed to antipasto, is a style of sculpture, meant to make me sound very thoughtful.  Since I graduated college in 2010, I have been living my life through skating shitty spots mainly behind grocery stores and posting dumb shit on slap messageboards.  I want to make posts that make people smile, laugh and chuckle, or “contrapposto”, if you will.

In late 2018, I was riding back from my shitty local park in my used pick-up truck, imagining up some dumb thread topics to post.  I kept visualizing titles, “How High Can You Ollie?”, “Supreme Sucks and is Overrated”.  I kept seeing parallels, repeating fractals, the Mandelbrot set repeating into infinity, the creation of the universe, life itself.  I was reading PM’s from Compliments4U and I realized this went beyond “shit posting” or “kookshit”, what I had were some of the dumbest thoughts on skateboarding the world had ever known.

For two years I have assembled unfunny jokes and slide mark critiques into a cohesive whole.  I’m looking forward to what everyone thinks about these.  I want to thank LandonPrimo, Complements4U, Armin Tanzarian, Buttface FartDick, Papo, and all the people that made this project what it is -and I think we really are there.

If you think writing about skateboarding is embarrassing I hope you thinking filming skateboarding is utterly mortifying.

Pretty funny how shook people are about someone actually thinking about and planning their video part and then writing less than a page describing the process behind it.

Pretentious? Homie is one of the top pros in the game and he premiered it at his local skate shop.

It's the presentation that's pretentious. That design is intended to resemble an art exhibition. Every good skater 'actually thinks about and plans their video part' and won't write anything about it not because they can't, but because the point is letting the skating do the talking. Which Suciu's definitely can.

I'm interested in this though, I'm interested in Suciu's skating. But the whole pseudo-intellectual persona he's trying to pull has been making me cringe lately (and I've been patient for years to see how far he would take it). Only in skateboarding can one think they've reached the greatest echelon of humanity for going to college.

I like the idea of breaking the norm of skate video screenings and exploring different possibilities in presentation, too, why the fuck not. But as an aesthetic, this is easy and cheap in addition to not making much sense (besides aligning with a marketing gimmick). Ah well I guess the shop guys had fun with it.

whose fault is that?

also, it's just plain awesome to know skaters like Suciu and Alexis (whose MIT brag points outweigh Suciu's) (and others) can do both college and the professional skate path.  yea sure, for those who have gone to college or are autodidacts in subjects, Suciu's opinions may seem pretty vanilla when compared to the average student, but that's just it, it's not as common within skateboarding.  also, as Kyle Beachy once admitted on the Vent (which took guts to admit), I think a lot of high-educated skateboarders feel a bit threatened when other skateboarders (especially those who are "better" at skateboarding) are well educated

Guys, there's a world, a real world, where you could work a trade, or construction, or in a bar, or for FedEx, or at HomeDepot, or be a doctor or a McDonalds cashier, AND still like reading literature. Hell, you might even try and write something sometimes.

You can be a regular Joe who's capable of smart thinking and good conversation.

But maybe don't expect a 19 year old skate rat with no life experience to be someone you want to chat breeze with.

Getting a degree in America is insane. Learning is to be admired, especially learning more about what interests and matters to you, but paying enough money to buy a small house for that privilege is plain stupid. You do it because you can, or your parents can, but there's no way you should.

I'm all for degrees, I have one and I'd quite like to do a masters one day, but I recognize that being a plumber is probably a smarter move. For me and for the rest of humanity.

Now going to business school with the aim to be a pharmaceutical CEO on the other hand...

Most of my friends have studied different aspects of culture (quite a few have studied literature). They generally work in well paying jobs in the private sector, in the public sector, or teaches at gymnasie level (Danish school system - it's something like the middle between high school and college, I think), and they are paid well better than people who are mechanics, painters, carpenters, chefs etcetera. The only issue for them is that there aren't that many jobs outside of the cities.

I'd recommend educating yourself in something you are interested in. If you do that, the chances of you excelling is the biggest - whether that's fixing cars, gardening, problematizing, teaching or whatever.

Reminder that studying litterature in college is the real life equivalent of dropping out of high school.

Well, I received an English BA Hons. and it's a pretty versatile degree. Plus with globalization and widespread immigration, English is a valuable skill to have and a lot of people need to learn it. The demand is there.

But as far as an MFA in Creative Writing is concerned, that's a different story. When I was studying English I wanted to publish literature but didn't do an MFA. I eventually reached that goal; I had a poetry book published and it's in a few public libraries as well as my university library. But I was published partially due to the people I met in university. I didn't need an MFA, as many believe. I was actually concerned that an MFA would limit my career opportunities based on how specific it is. That's not always the case, but still.

I'll admit that during those days I should've looked for more career opportunities. What you do outside of university is just as important as what you do inside of it, and with broad subject like English/literature, it's important to meet people and build your resume.

This is an interesting one. I have a PhD in English lit and work in academia (or aspire to, insert laugh-crying emoji here) so obviously I'm biased, but most English lit majors don't strike me as dropouts. At least here in China/Hong Kong (I've worked in both) it's a pretty brave choice which people usually make against the explicit discouragement of their parents, who want to see them do business or at least the 'hard' sciences, because the kids want to learn something that really interests them. This might be different in the US, admittedly.

As to job prospects, it is indeed not the smartest move, unless you want to stay in the university (in which case, it's still not the smartest move). But as Adam said, an English lit degree ideally gives you a pretty well-rounded education with a somewhat international outlook, so if you value that kind of thing it's worth doing. (Plus reading is awesome, of course, so it's well worth doing anyway imho).

Obviously, it won't hurt if you have one of the biggest sporting goods companies in the world pay you to skate while you're studying, either, especially if you're studying in a country where it will cost you a fortune. (In Germany and Hong Kong, I didn't have to pay a cent to get my degrees, so that's obviously a big factor.)

I like Suciu, and I don't think he should be ashamed to bring his ideas and his interest in literature into his parts. I love a well-thought out part and I can relate to the idea of building it around mirrored lines ( I absolutely love Creager's Menikmati part for this reason, for example), so I'm really looking forward to this.

Raw Selvedge Denim is great. And his pants fit like how a grown-ass mans pants should fit like. Baggy pants are a fad anyways..

He never went baggy, just normal pants, now he is in skinny.

Gentrification is when white people say 'this area is shit, make it nice' about lower-cost, often minority neighborhoods where residents have lived and possibly thrived for generations prior then someone comes in and adds a whole foods, some yoga studios, and yuppies move in and drive the cost of living up, displacing current residents. Then people say 'I liked it rugged before, you shouldn't have made it nice.'

When neighborhood median income rises, violent crime rates and narcotic offenses drop as does vandalism and petty theft. Local businesses have been boarded up for years and most that were actually profitable are moreso now.  The owner of the local yoga studio actually bought the laundromat too, where they run free laundry service for the homeless and also free alterations for any clothing people are using to go to a job interview.  It really sucks to have less sporadic gunshots.

I live in a gentrifying area and people are coming in of all colors here. The older residents I've spoken to don't give a fuck because there aren't trap houses or prostitution dens anymore and people can not have their cars stolen if they park on the street. What's changed is that people actually respect for and care for where they live. The park isn't full of litter after dice games and the gutters aren't lined with trash from people eating fast food after the club closes.

But yes, gentrification can only be racially based, let's focus on a construct rather than something like class and the local labor market.

Do you have any idea what intersectionality is?

Gentrification in and of itself isn't necessarily a bad thing--it can be good for all parties involved. I live in Logan Square, Chicago so that technically makes me a gentrifier since I'm not Puerto Rican and middle-income. The difference is me and my roommates never once spent money at the gentrified-ass fake Mexican restaurant on our block that yuppies flock to for some reason, i.e. where you spend your dollars matters in the big picture nearly as much as actual housing. Not saying economic development is bad for communities because we all know it's not, but these developments ought to reflect the community and its interests because they were there first. If a hundred middle-class white people move to X neighborhood and buy all their groceries from the supermercado at the end of the block, their clothes from the thrift store a 15-min walk away, and go to the bar down the street that's been there 30 years, the community would--economically speaking; as cultural considerations also come into play--exist as it were before, if not better.

Still, the main problem is that there's no rent control and people get priced out. Even if families can continue to afford rent, who's to say they can afford to keep buying groceries in their own neighborhood? Not to mention culture which has persisted in communities for decades can get wiped clean in a matter of years at most (I live in Chicago, this is what's happening in Pilsen currently, see also: Humboldt Park, Logan Square, Wicker Park, Bronzeville, etc etc). Of course gentrification doesn't have an inherent racial basis, but labor and class intersect with race thanks to the institution of racism and existence of a de-jure-then-de-facto-but-still-secretly-de-jure racial hierarchy. That's why when we talk about gentrification it always ends up as a conversation about race because most people that live in cheap neighborhoods are black and brown.

I appreciate this- thanks for writing it. I agree with you and try to make sure I have the same habits with regards to businesses I do or do not support. But as a white male that moved at the start of the gentrification of my area, people seem to stop the conversation at skin color and not talk about the actual power one can exercise over where they live (small building, local long-term owner vs the new high rise).

Five years ago, I lived in what you would call a "shitty neighborhood". It was a run down row house with four 1 bedroom units and my next door neighbor had at least 10 people living there and they also sold drugs out of the unit, and I would get crackheads pounding on my door in the middle of the night thinking it was their door. I would also get harassed at the taco stand across the street for being a white guy wanting tacos. I couldn't get out of there fast enough.

There’s no video to upload.


The video shown at the premiere was *technically* a work-in-progress, with the hopes of eventual completion before the August 2nd online upload.

He’s still out filming his ender ender.

Takes out one beirut song and replaces it with 2 allah-las ones

Off the top of my head I don’t remember how many Beirut songs he skates to (never a fan).......


.....but he skates to one song by Air.

What the fuck? I come back here to see if maybe the video leaked yet and I stumble upon half baked discourse about gentrification? This is actually pretty great, and very much my lane. I think its important that we talk about these issues.

I know he's working on getting a few more clips (including the ender) and had hoped for Aug. 2nd but that was quickly moved to Aug. 9th. Last time I heard, it's going to be 5-7 days after he gets the clips he wants. I respect it ... it's a personal project and he's not going to put out anything less than perfection.

Even as is, the video is fuckin' ridiculous in the best way possible.

kinda just sounds like he got inspired by some of Arto's mirrored lines in Sorry and decided to make a part based around that concept. He wrote some (eloquent) words about it because he actually has an education and now we're all getting our knickers in a knot about it. imho concept parts are good because they tell a story and give some focus. Even Hsu's all switch part is a concept part if you think about it. Hell, Ricky in EE3 is almost a concept part too if you sit back and analyze it; he defs had a vision for what he wanted to do and how he wanted to skate!

Guys, it is pretty obvious that the perfect part is his white whale.

After the NYC premier, while sipping a Stella at Max Fish, he realized that he could just put it out there less perfect than he had hoped, and be dragged into the sea of irrelevance, or he could sharpen his harpoon and unleash a banger right between the eyes of his nemesis. He has taken to calling his board "Pequod", and people are starting to get nervous.

For skate's sake, he will spit his last trick at thee.

I like it. Intentionally produce a lost part, while also making sure that enough people have an inkling of how amazing it was to keep talking about it forever. Then Suciu could funnel that popularity to allow him to finally quit skating and openly pursue his thus far secret passion: rapping.

Five years ago, I lived in what you would call a "shitty neighborhood". It was a run down row house with four 1 bedroom units and my next door neighbor had at least 10 people living there and they also sold drugs out of the unit, and I would get crackheads pounding on my door in the middle of the night thinking it was their door. I would also get harassed at the taco stand across the street for being a white guy wanting tacos. I couldn't get out of there fast enough.

Maybe a white dude who lives next to a crack den and moans about crackheads, and complains about being racially profiled at the taco stand. And then moves - but still bitches about it 5 years later.

Well, he IS a white male, probably straight, so he’s definitely what’s wrong with America today and deserving of much scorn.

yeah but the word of it coming out today had to be based on that being announced so it’s like he’s just gonna push it back till he gets his ender? i know there’s been soundtrack changes and stuff after something is premiered but like if you still have shit you wanna get before you drop your part then uhhh don’t drop your part till you get that trick? it’s still early in the year, dude could’ve easily just put out another short part by the end and gotten the ender for that, especially if he’s possibly pushing for the soty nod.

But it seems like he postponed the online date in hopes of getting an ender ender.

With his parts having a lot insane tricks in the middle of the part and his general ability to do a lot of nbd type tricks I think I might agree cause so many people drop insane stuff to be one upped the next week these days but the fact that he’s willing to delay a part to really perfect what he thinks is the best example of his skating right now instead of just dropping a part to keep up with flow of things is kinda admirable. He seems like the type of guy who respects the past of skating and tries to portray that in his skating where a lot of people are just trying to keep up and drop footage within hours of getting a trick to remain relevant .

Sure I agree with the philosophy and intention behind it but why premiere the incomplete part at all then? If he was so confident that he’d get the trick between the time the part was finished being edited (save that one trick) and its release online, why not wait until the complete part was done?  He said himself in his Thrasher interview that he was working on this part for a while and that he already missed the deadline for it to be the promo for his second shoe (it’s crazy that he views that part as pretty throwaway footage) so really the deadline and pressure were self-imposed. So why not wait the few weeks to do the ender and fully cap off this project he clearly put a lot of thought into? It just doesn’t make much sense. I wouldn’t care if he hadn’t been so explicit on how considered every other detail of the part was, but he was so it just seems odd to me.

All this stuff about skateboard tricks and ender-ender ender's is great and all, but the questions for me are still going to be:

Has he learned how to dress well yet?

Has he figured out how to stop being so goddamn boring to watch while he does his insane skateboarding?

He makes Shane O'Neil look like John Cardiel in the entertainment stakes.

He should author a confessional essay about paint drying and bad selvedge jeans. I'd read that.

He prolly just didn’t anticipate not getting the last trick he wanted and said to himself, the part is done and ready, even tho he didn’t make that trick. And now that’s he’s been to premiers for his part and probably watched it himself 100 times, he’s thinking, man if I could just get that ender trick this will be my fucking part of a lifetime.
He prolly watches the part and every single time thinks, this would be allll the better if I got that last trick. And why not give himself an extra week since it hasn’t hit the internet?
We are all just humans doing the best we can. Rules can be lame as fuck. What rule says you can’t adjust you can’t tweak your video part after its premiered? Do what your heart and mind want you to do(within legal reason).
Live the human experience.

My friend is Mark's friend and he said it was the same rail, but the trick is a Suciu grind nollie flip to forward, followed by a kickflip on flat. He said he keeps bailing the kickflip or stepping off of it too early and screaming "THE THEMES, THE THEMES!" and focusing his board on each attempt. I heard Habitat is going to kick him off soon because he's been emptying the warehouse with all of those attempts. His last resort is supposedly to just lurk at Muni, steal someone's board and settle for a switch shuvit revert down the set since it's at least an nbd

Post by: GeorgeCostanza on August 06, 2019, 10:05:29 PM
I feel like we've kind of reached a post-ender state anyways. A new part comes out and almost immediately the ender is shared on instagram, whether that be by fan accounts or the brand/skater themselves. The ender is then utilised as a teaser for the part/clip rather than as its climax. Don't take this as me saying that all parts should end with some shit like a line that fades out or super 8 shots of the city in place of a last trick, but to me at least an ender really doesn't seem as important as it used to be. There's definitely less of an aura around enders now that fucked up tricks just go straight to instagram - some kid will do a kickflip suciu grind on instagram down a skatepark rail anyways so I think the whole is much more important.

Like everything in this thread this is completely off topic.  This parts theme seems to be about mirror tricks.  He’s got his suciu grind, I wonder if he did a switch one on a rail. In cross continental he did an ss bs noseblunt, I’m sure it’s way harder to lock in but it seems achievable for him. Would be cool.

Y'all are going crazy with this.

From talking with him and as he alluded to at the premier, his ender is a line and the line that was included in the film was good ... really good. He did show the crowd an alternate version of that same line and one of the ledge tricks he falls out of (tic-tacs) ... he's trying to get that line.

He's not, as far as I know, trying to get any Suciu grind flip-in or out variation. Interesting thought though.

Hope that helps ...

unpopular opinion: a suicu grind (that goes back to regular) sure is hard but also visually unappealing. a bs 180 nosegrind the hard way to fakie that does a full 180 rotation is much better looking. same goes for the fs variation

Agreed. Getting contorted looks great up until 180° (maybe a bit less, Hurricane/Sugarcane). Also, Seatbelt grabs are hideous, with Jimmy Wilkins being the exception.

Yes nobody cares about your video part when it's the same vanilla Motown music and extreme close-up HD filming as everybody else. It's just over-saturation.

In all seriousness, I for one actually don't mind him disregarding deadlines and trying hard to make his part look exactly like how he envisions it. That's the kind of passion I want to see and will remember from his character as opposed to how he presents himself and whatnot. Some of you guys may be too used to free content dropping all the time. The dude is treating his clip like it's a coherent piece, very much like filmers refine their full-length videos. Skateboarding needs more of that type of effort put in and less rushed commercial outputs. I feel like most people in his position wouldn't give a shit if they were 'due' a part by a certain deadline, they'd just ask whoever has their clips to turn everything in, then some random would edit it to the most cliché song and boom you'd have the perfect ad, and the job done. Mark is being a true skateboarder here by actually giving no fucks.

He gives no fucks about meeting business deadlines because he's exclusively concerned about the quality of his output as a skateboarder. Your ability to break down posts in disconnected bits just so you can recompile them the way you please and then make go around the entire point is staggering.

More speculating. 

I wonder if he’s trying a line on this type of scale, maybe not this extreme/long though.

https://youtu.be/fHPq6-P6tqM

He’s had numerous amazing marathon lines and I am always surprised how far he takes them.  The one at Muni is absolutely fucked.
Lines are so demoralizing after a certain point.  I can’t imagine having a long line for an ender.  Going back to the same spot numerous times to try the same premeditated line would crumble me, especially with this expectation now. 

Or maybe I’m completely trippin. He’s pro I’m not. I’m lucky to land 2 tricks in a row. If I don’t land the line the day I try it, I neverrrr go back to it because I don’t want to relive/be reminded of a struggle session.

Realllllly looking forward to this part still.

The other thing is according to his Thrasher interview, it didn’t seem like he had a deadline.  He missed releasing this part as his Suciu II promo part and then discussed working on this single part for years.  The deadline seemed self-imposed versus from adidas or Habitat so it makes no sense to me to make your own deadline, know as that approaches that you’re not happy with the part and won’t finish the part by the deadline, premiere the part twice, and then delay its release and lose that momentum.  I’m sure he could have delayed the premiere without massively having to screw with any of the premiere planning and arrangements.

In all seriousness, I for one actually don't mind him disregarding deadlines and trying hard to make his part look exactly like how he envisions it. That's the kind of passion I want to see and will remember from his character as opposed to how he presents himself and whatnot. Some of you guys may be too used to free content dropping all the time. The dude is treating his clip like it's a coherent piece, very much like filmers refine their full-length videos. Skateboarding needs more of that type of effort put in and less rushed commercial outputs. I feel like most people in his position wouldn't give a shit if they were 'due' a part by a certain deadline, they'd just ask whoever has their clips to turn everything in, then some random would edit it to the most cliché song and boom you'd have the perfect ad, and the job done. Mark is being a true skateboarder here by actually giving no fucks.

Also the last page was hilarious, many gnars were spent.

I really appreciate that he is taking so much time to get the part exactly how he wants it. The thing that I find weird is that he let the video premier without the last trick then decides to hold the web release. The whole thing should have been postponed.

Obviously what would have made the most sense in a marketing context would have been for him to remain discreet about it for longer instead of prematurely ejaculating premieres whilst it's still in the works with his own name on the wall (I've ridiculed the presentation before but in reality I find it pretty rad that he set it up at his local shop) but honestly, I actually really love those 'human errors' in skateboarding in general, like I find them to be a reassuring reminder that the skaters and creatives are still in control of what they do or at least some of them still care enough to have a personal vision and try to live up to it. I can appreciate that Suciu still has enough passion for skating in him to disregard all his official announcements entirely despite his industry ties to make sure his output is exactly what he wants, I can sense that's some skate rat shit (maybe that's a better wording than my original post). Plus witnessing this thread unfold all the while imagining that the dude is putting in work towards his goal as we speak is pretty sick, altogether the whole delay thing is only going to make the clip more special when it comes out and to Suciu it will feel complete, everyone wins.

Also it's 2019 and the skate video market is oversaturated and yadda yadda yet still here we are, looking forward to a clip like some of us were looking forward to the newest video on VHS twenty years ago and bugging skateshops requesting it; I think that's actually pretty fucking cool. The thing will come out and a few days don't really make a major difference. In the end, that's actually better marketing than if the thing had come out last week and been forgotten by most already.

And honestly, how does his going to college affect any of you? Do his Instagram captions bug you? Like it hasnt affected his skating at all and if his intellectual shit bugs you it seems very easy to ignore and just watch his skating.

It is longer cause he's looking at it sideways. That's perpendicular to the way every other trick down the Wallenberg 4 has gone...

What if he somehow skated it sideways from the top.  Or maybe he quick feet skate up in sideways, rolls and reorients, then does a trick down the main four.  Or just skating them like ledges would also be awesome, oldschool styles.

He has currently transcended skateboarding. By not actualizing his part, but giving it a virtual consistency by letting us know exists, he has actually made every trick imaginable (and mirrored). But the part only exists virtually in our mind - the ultimate part!

Then imagine that you brought all of it on yourself by hyping the premiere to your following, premiering the unfinished video, and then taking a month of silence to finish the last trick. All while knowing it was an arbitrary deadline that you could have very well postponed before getting all eyes on you.

You know how sometimes you go through a really crazy or bad life experience with people you don’t know that well, but afterwards you share a strangely strong bond with them. Like if you were on a harrowing road trip or you get stuck in an elevator with people you didn’t know that well, but through the commiserating or exhaustion you become friends with these people you’d never have anything in common with otherwise. Then afterwards, whenever you see them you can only talk about, “That one time.” Well, I’m just starting to feel much closer to everyone involved in this thread. Like after this is all said and done and we’ve watched this part, I may see you out in the normal everyday world of Slap and I’ll think to myself, “God I remember that person, we were waiting on that Versa part together ....how wild that all was.”

Yes, but for me this is gonna be more like an Alive scenario where we maybe ate a couple flight attendants for survival and even though I recognize you, if you come up like "Hey man, how have you been holding up?

Seriously, it’s time... the cherry’s overrated. We are primed. Save the banger for your next wall hanger. Let my marriage to poppy the cat be annulled on the grounds of non- consummation. Nobody wants the alternative probably least of all me

Please save that cat Mark. Please additionally save me. I mean a cat being split is bad news, but being a senient being responsible for splitting a cat?

Yeah, but they’re usually released to the public have they have two premieres. Remember when Lakai had a massive delay between premiering The Flare and then actually releasing it? It ruined the video - no one cared when it came out, no one watched it, ships got bummed, etc. That’s what Suciu’s part is like. It’s not like the delays that are hitting Baker 4 or the Palace video.

couldn't disagree more, first of all the only thing that ruined the flare was the fact that its a lakai video in 2017(?) I mean I think people were excited to see if they could keep it together in a nike converse world but no one was like clamoring to see it, And certainly no one felt it was ruined because of some release delay. A new mark suciu part on the other hand, One he's been working on for a couple years no less and has been confirmed to be like 7 or 8+ minutes long is more intriguing , I want to see suciu doing well thought out back breaker ledge tricks. And obviously the switch 3 flip wallenburg stuff just makes it that much more appealing.

And on top of all that aside from the fact that it did obviously premier over a month ago has anyone actually attached to the project given or claimed a release date? Or did people just hear a rumor and form baseless opinions and cry about it?

Then nothing. It's like if a really attractive girl you know is out of your league dm's you unsolicited out of nowhere to meet up. Then you never hear from her again because she's out there trying to perfect her fucking skills before you guys hook up.

This part is like this friends with benefits you can get on with sometimes, yet won't let you kiss her on the lips. Be weak enough to mutter any expression of attraction in the heat of the foreplay and you can be sure to get told to fuck off and painfully walk away with your blue balls. Maybe the smartest reaction we can have here is to keep going through the process all the while remaining emotionless, and only then we might eventually get rewarded with the feelings we're subconsciously yearning for as opposed to steel sharp, stone cold disdain in addition to getting to finally smash that Thrasher play button whenever we feel like.

And on top of all that aside from the fact that it did obviously premier over a month ago has anyone actually attached to the project given or claimed a release date? Or did people just hear a rumor and form baseless opinions and cry about it?
At the premiere, he said August 2nd, which turned into August 9th, which turned into the end of the month. We've got five days left in August, any guesses what the deadline will turn into on September 1st?

Nah, so far this is just a dry-pull rub-and-tug where the tugger gets a hand cramp 5 seconds before you get to pop one off and says they can’t finish what they started.  I don’t even care how good the part is now, I just wanna see it for the sake of seeing it.

Paul Rodriguez: "I'm blessed with great fans...For whatever reason I've been blessed with fans who are really down for me, who found something in me they like, so I'm very grateful to my fans, obviously they're responsible for the fact that I can skateboard every day for a living, because without fans, I would have no job. I'm very grateful for my fans, and I learned that subconsciously through my dad growing up. Every time we'd go out somewhere, in a restaurant, or wherever we were, he'd always take the time to take a picture, sign an autograph. So early on I learned that fans ultimately give you your job, you can't take em for granted, you can't be too cool for your fans, you know? Cause otherwise you'll be hitting the wanted ads real quick."

Wow, so not only do you lie to your fans about releasing a part, you're putting them down as well when they're clearly saying they want to see your footage.

You guys are all so kooky. Wtf?

He's not done filming the part and will release it when he gets the tricks/lines for it. Seems pretty reasonable to me.

"But he premiered it! Why won't he share it with us?!"

Think of it this way: a band has an album premiere and a select group of people get to attend/listen to it. The album isn't 100% done, so the band keeps working on it. The album is delayed a few months, but eventually releases once it is complete. This happens all the time in the music/film industry. Pretty similar scenario here.

Why do you all feel entitled to it when you're not even going to pay the man a cent? It's a free web part. Shut the fuck up and leave him alone. Y'all sound so desperate and corny pm-ing the guy.

Web parts don't really mean anything anyways. I'd rather he take a few more months and include it in an adidas/Habitat/etc. promo or full length.

(this is coming from a guy who thinks his whole new "college educated skate artiste" shtick is lame as hell, but I love his skating AND I'm patient enough to wait a few months for the guy to get the tricks HE wants for his part).

TLDR: be patient and wait, nerds. He doesn't owe any of us anything.

He said he's put out a part and gave a date on the release, people were excited for the release because they're fans, it didn't come out on that date and there hasn't been a single word from him about when it will ... its not that crazy.

Hey Kooky Mckookster Bunghole mr. think about it this way! Well think about it this way: your favorite band, Bon Jovi’s Pubic Hair says they’re gonna drop their lastest album on august 2nd. Hella hype ensues. They have an interview with Rolling Stone and say “go to the record store on August 2nd for our latest album.” You go - fuck you even call out of work to get there. You wear your favorite BJPH t-shirt that you got when you saw them on their ‘Wet n Reckless’ tour 7 years ago with your ex. Finally, a long hair opens the record store. You rush in frantically looking at the new releases section, knowing it will be up front and center, probably in it’s own glorious cardboard display box... but it’s not. There’s nothing... you ask the long hair “where the fuck is the new Bon Jovi’s Pubic Hair album!!?” The long hair just replies “oh yeaaaaa, they like cancelled it or something man... said it’s not good enough. Don’t know when it come out... maybe never.” And then... you’re crushed - hopeless - they let you down. And as each day passes without the new album, a hatred starts to grow. Everyday a little but more You start to hate the thing you used to love so much - the thing that used to define your life - Bon Jovi’s Pubic Hair.

So think about it like that KOOK! We want Mark Soochoo footage.

Only gap this long that I can remember from a video premiere to the video dropping was “welcome to hell”. That had more to do with editing muskas part out than anything else. Now, in this day and age of single skater videos, what the hell could be a good reason to do this?  Is any ender really worth this much?  Having a premiere says that your part is done, maybe in a rare exception a person might be able to sneak one or two more in there before the actual release but that’s not even really feasible in this day of digital video drops.

Think of it this way: a band has an album premiere and a select group of people get to attend/listen to it. The album isn't 100% done, so the band keeps working on it. The album is delayed a few months, but eventually releases once it is complete. This happens all the time in the music/film industry. Pretty similar scenario here.

Why do you all feel entitled to it when you're not even going to pay the man a cent? It's a free web part. Shut the fuck up and leave him alone. Y'all sound so desperate and corny pm-ing the guy.

Web parts don't really mean anything anyways. I'd rather he take a few more months and include it in an adidas/Habitat/etc. promo or full length.

(this is coming from a guy who thinks his whole new "college educated skate artiste" shtick is lame as hell, but I love his skating AND I'm patient enough to wait a few months for the guy to get the tricks HE wants for his part).

TLDR: be patient and wait, nerds. He doesn't owe any of us anything.
Of course it's irrational to act this way. It's also irrational to tell a bunch of unsuspecting people that you will bless them with footage on your well followed platform. Give them hope out of nowhere. Let some people see it to build hype. Give an exact date it'll come out. Not come out with it. Then just shut the fuck up til you're homie has a transworld part with terrible style and calling people disrespectful for asking about that one part he promised. Imagine writing that paragraph explaining the part when you know in your heart of hearts it's not ready yet. You don't do that. You tie that pretentious knot of a paragraph when you know you're done. No one asked for this. The deadline was totally up to him. Nobody asked for it before he decided to show a work in progress. Seems like he wanted the attention and hoopla if you asked me.

Both producer and consumers are kooking it but only the producer initiated the kook.

Tiago is the best at everything he does until he passes his prime. Will he jump on a 16 rail? No. But  he'll be better than everyone trying to pop onto/over something until he isn't. If he doesn't get soty then it's a crime, but everyone will know he's a monster at what he does. This is prime tiago time, that switch pop shove revert off the kicker is a great example, and it's gonna end, so appreciate it while it's happening

Fixed.

EDIT: also, I think people are conflating “test screenings” of TV shows / films / albums with “premieres.”  Test screenings are explicitly testing a nearly finished product to help understand audience feedback so reshoots and other edits can be done to improve the piece.  A movie / show / album premiere is 99.9% of the time, the first showing of the finished product that (barring a major issue) will be shortly made available to the wide public.

The really ironic thing about all of this is that August was a total dead period for skateboarding. Had he premiered this on August 2nd, it would have been all anyone talked about all month, but by waiting six additional weeks for ONE SINGLE CLIP (I really cannot stress this enough), all he's done is invite criticism and ensure his part will get lost in the mix of videos that are about to drop.

anyone notice the crew was cracking street sodas and Suciu had a PELEGRINO in hand?

likely shifting the convo from pieces of ass in the city, to his thesis of elasticity.

Everybody’s putting yellow mustard on their hot dogs, Mark whips out the Grey Poupon.

Everybody’s listening to Wu Tang, Mark changes it to NPR.

Crew’s going to a titty bar, Mark’s going to the new Frida Kahlo exhibition.

Everybody’s at the Holiday Inn, Mark’s at a quaint bed and breakfast looking at antique tea kettles.

He'd better get ready for disappointment.  Every time I have something major in my life I'm working on and say to myself "This will be something incredible and defining that I'll be proud of and use to move even further forward in life", it never lives up to the self-imposed hype and a hard crash usually follows.

Not saying that it won't be a good part, hell, maybe even a great part, but when you get so autistic that you literally treat this as if you're creating a symphony that people will be appreciating hundreds of years later and not the "Cool video bro, but next week everyone will be focused on someone else's shit that's hot" situation life is today, it's gonna hurt bad once reality kicks in.

Omg you guys!! A good source of mine at Thrasher just leaked this letter they sent to Mark! i guess he’s cooked! Omg!!

Dear Mark,

As you have failed to turn in your mid-career project ‘Verso’, we have no choice but to drop you from skateboarding. You have repeatedly asked for an extended deadline saying “one more week, please, just one more week, I swear to god!” You’ve given multiple excuses including your dog chewed on your wheels, you had mono, and that your grandma was in the hospital - we looked into that - your grandma died in 1999, Mark. Recent attempts to contact you have been unsuccesful. Everytime we call, someone (we know it’s you Mark) answers and says “me no know no Mark, no hablo Englesh.” These circumstances leave us no choice but to withdraw you from skateboarding, Mark. You can appeal this decision by trying to contact the spirit of Jake Phelps and obtain a pardon. For better luck with that try our ’Thrashin Ouija Board’ ($19.99). You can always try skateboarding again in your next lifetime.

Best of luck Suicu,
Thrasher Magazine, High Speed Productions INC.
P.s. we are hiring box packers in our warehouse. Contact us if you’d like to be considered.

verso     noun

 ver·​so | \ ˈvər-(ˌ)sō

 plural versos

Definition of verso

1     : the side of a leaf (as of a manuscript) that is to be read second

2     : a left-hand page
           — compare RECTO

3     : the feeling of overwhelming emptiness that comes from being promised something incredible, but due to the missing element that makes it unbelievable, it is never attained.

History and Etymology for verso

New Latin verso (folio) the page being turned

The name of professional skateboarder Mark Suciu's film that never came out due to him collapsing under the pressure that was built from him delaying the release because he failed to accomplish a skateboard trick.

Examples of verso in a Sentence

"Dude, I went to McDonald's to try the reissue of the Arch Deluxe and I was so hyped. But they told me they couldn't sell it because they didn't have any special sauce! I got verso'd, dude!"

Mark has really given us a gift here.

Here are the potential outcomes:
1. He drops the part and it exceeds all ludicrous expectations, becoming a legendary piece of skate cinema instantly.

2. The part is a complete disappointment, giving the world of skateboarding a new slice of history. A new inside-joke. This has already begun on SLAP, and will be brought to the masses on Skateline or some shit.

3. The part never comes out and becomes as mythological as the missing MJ or Danny Way part. It is added to the short list of skate media Holy Grails, and we all argue for the next 2 years about whether or not the footage came out in other videos, or if Mark kept it all to himself.

We really can’t lose.

Everybody’s putting yellow mustard on their hot dogs, Mark whips out the Grey Poupon.

Everybody’s listening to Wu Tang, Mark changes it to NPR.

Crew’s going to a titty bar, Mark’s going to the new Frida Kahlo exhibition.

Everybody’s at the Holiday Inn, Mark’s at a quaint bed and breakfast looking at antique tea kettles.

While the crew is out trying to rescue KB, Mark is contemplating the existential meaning behind alerting Instagram instead of the local authorities.  He's concluded that it has something to do with institutional racism, but its probably because he was really really really high.

No way really, not releasing his part so that people get to actually miss something that isn't conveniently just there is literally the smartest thing he could have done for it to have a chance to stand out in people's minds, and be remembered in the long run despite the overwhelming pace of online video releases nowadays. Look at all the engagement this thread got; the dude's IG stats have to be ridiculous right now and despite the facade of his seemingly detached attitude, I suspect that he might even be jacking off to all the attention. All the hype around that ender is only to make it appear more mythical when in reality a lot of other people work just as hard for their shit in the shadows (yet drop their footage on time), I wouldn't even be surprised if he had gotten it a long time ago already - at this point it just makes no difference.
Title: Re: Mark Suciu 'Verso'
Post by: Murdercapital on September 16, 2019, 06:57:52 PM
I think this is all hilarious.

Remember back 15+ years ago? A video hotly anticipated for 2-5 years would premiere, then it would be at least a couple weeks before anyone else got to see it once the vhs/dvd finally hit skateshop shelves.

Things have changed, but anticipation is still fun to me. Wouldn't be the same if I didn't even know this part was coming and then it hit me over the head while I'm sitting in the bathroom stall at work browsing IG.

Based on the instagram story/posts from Mark/Justin it looked as if he was done filming and the video was being prepped.

I disagree when has a suciu part been disappointing? And he's clearly putting a lot more effort into this one(arguably too much with this delay) If his thrasher interview was any indication its going to be amazing.

Maybe I'm biased though, nothing more appealing than someone tasteful doing well thought out ledge lines at appealing plaza's all over the world.

The search form is the only place on the fake Slap page where people could have entered data. The fake page does not capture or save anyone's entered data. If anyone did type in something into the search form it sends it to the real Slapmagazine.com. Same thing for all the links, they just send you back to the real site.

Taking into account peer reviews and additional editing, he prob could have used that time to try the trick he seemingly couldn't get. I've said everything I could about the part pre seeing it but I'll probably just bow out once it comes out. Fuck you Mark Suciu. I love you.

The funniest part to me is that Chris Mulhern (Adidas editor/filmer) said this was dropping three days ago in a Insta comment only for Such to reply it wasn't because of "technical difficulties" haha. Like what fucking difficulties could you have if this was premiered more then two months ago. My only guess would be music rights.

To recap:

Friday August 2nd on Thrasher

had hoped for Aug. 2nd but that was quickly moved to Aug. 9th.

It looks promising... I bet if it's really the part, he'll be releasing it on 9.19.19

Bumping because I hear this is supposed to drop next week. How many pages can this be pushed to in seven days?

So about that September 23rd release...
I wonder how many more rumored release dates for this we’ll get before it actually comes out

Talked to mulhern. He says tomorrow it’s out

Next week.

More speculating but I’m pretty sure this part got deleted off the Adidas youtube because they only had the rights to song for so long. I vaguely remember suciu mentioning it in an interview and obviously wasn’t happy about that.  I’m assuming he doesn’t want that to happen again and I’m sure they have to jump through hoops just to get one song. 4 songs has got to be tough.
They need Lory Vincent.
I have no idea who that is but I know she’s been doing the music licensing for years for majority of skate companies.

Wow that was ill.
Made me stoked to see Verso...hopefully this week at last.
Same here. What I saw from the Dime comp proved he’s getting really gnarly again. This should be a really interesting video part if it ever comes out.

So, depending on what "mirror lines" actually means, we can use the first line in this clip to infer mark also did:
1. switch 360 flip down to switch bs bigspin off
2. lazer flip down to fs bigspin off
3. bs bigspin on to 360 flip up
4. bs bigspin down to switch 360 flip off

any way should be good.

when he talks about "mirrors" I don't think he means literally just the same tricks/lines reg and switch. That's what it seems to have devolved to here though after 30 pages of discussion.

To be fair it was a low hubba. All of masons tricks were cooler. And decenzo fucking front 360d the set. Sucius only option to impress was that hubba.

Aren’t we collectively boycotting watching to make him feel bad . I’d boycott his products but I feel like no one is really skating his boards or shoes as it is. Watching Shane do sucius tricks better and before over him over the table was a highlight of the dime event .

That hubba is not low. I went and looked at it the day before. It’s perfect now but definitely not low. You have to gap out pretty far.
Yea it’s not Oceanside hubba but it’s for sure taller than any skatepark hubba.

Maybe you’re trolling? Shane’s good but I wouldn’t say he skated that great in the event compared to Suciu. Suciu skated every obstacle and pretty much closed off every section.

Switch 50 down that hubba is fucking insane. However I think that trick is just inherently kinda ugly no matter who does it. Not trying to hate, it's absolutely mental, just not that aesthetically pleasing IMO. Suciu killed the Dime event regardless of my thoughts on that though. Kf back nose blunt was done perfectly.

I know that part doesn’t get much love on here so I just rewatched it and while it’s by no means his best part, I actually think it’s really nice. It’s weird how the whole video’s kind of desaturated and grey but the part definitely fits a vibe, especially with that song, and I think they achieved what they were going for.

I just re-watched it, the only part of Away Days I've watched in more than 18 months. It was slightly better than I remember. The music and editing really did his skating a disservice. I love Beach House, they're one of my all-time favorite bands, but if he would have skated to something with more BPMs and his footage wasn't so grey it would have made things a lot more memorable. I also can't believe they kept that BS nosebluntslide on the hubba in the edit, it doesn't even look like he rode away.

At any rate, a decent, if not slight, showing considering the illness he was battling at the time.

Ender was a front 5050 on a ledge. I completely understand why that took two months to get.

This was fucking sick!
RIP pyramid ledges
Switch hardflip and switch thrice—two of my favorite tricks—down some hefty sets
Switch back noseblunt kickflip out was soooo dope.
I have a bunch of work to do but can’t wait to rewatch this a few times today.

Interesting that it is his own part (?) and not a habitat or adidas video. Is it a Thrasher part?

Holy shit. He just killed the game stone dead.

The lines at the end were mirrored, but in non-trivial/obvious ways spread out across the final line section as a whole, which was structured like a poem with a pretty complex rhyme scheme (e.g. the last line of the section mirrored the first line etc). Glad to see he put his degree to use!

How did such a smart and talented young dude end up skating to not just one, but TWO Beirut songs? Essentially he made us all wait, foaming at the mouth, to listen to two Beirut songs and a snippet of an Air jam so classic that it may at this point count as trite. What is college teaching kids about music these days? That La Femme section was dope and the skating throughout well worth the wait. But Suciu is the only person in the world who will make me willingly listen to Beirut ever again and I find him as incomprehensible as ever.

Need to rewatch it, because there was a lot to digest. Some of the tricks was on a mission impossible level!

But I really don't like Beirut in skate videos (I don't know if it's because Mark strives to be a caricature of campus culture or something), the pacing was just way weird in the first section of the video.

The last section was just beautiful skateboarding!

I’m only a minute or so in, and maybe my headphones are just fucked up, but the audio is mixed so badly. Sometimes it sounds like I can barely hear the skating and then other times it sounds like the skating is super loud and I can barely hear the song. Like it’s hard to focus on the tricks because of it and that sucks because I actually love that Beirut song.

About 7 minutes too long. Why would your extremely hyped soty contender part need a switch big heel down an 8? Edit it down to the spinny boi shit, and the cool spots. You don’t need filler when some of your clips are as heavy as they are.

^completely agree with this.

I feel like this part is gonna age really well and will be known as one of the video parts that changed the game.

His unique approach to all of those obstacles is completely new and different to anybody watching that part.
I can only begin to imagine how many kids will see this, want to skate obstacles in that way, and how this part could potentially end up influencing a newer generation of skateboarders

I have never quoted myself before, but that’s seriously the greatest street skateboarding I’ve ever seen. It always went the Dylan part, then the MJ fully flared part and heath mindfield part in a tie for 2nd and 3rd. Mark just took first in my book. He just became the street Rodney Mullen, and as much as we wanna make fun of this boy for college, u can tell it paid off, his skate IQ is fucking rocking this world at Mullen levels peaks, if he doesn’t win SOTY especially as a San Jose brotha, Phelps ghost is personally gonna come out of his grave and strangle Burnett.

My only complaints are with the second and third songs. I just wasn't a fan of them, but all in all the part was incredible.

Obviously the skating was amazing, but that was way too long and personally I wasn't feeling any of the music. I'd love to see a re-edit down to 3 minutes of just the best stuff. Definitely not hating, but I'm not rewatching that.

crazy talk, i'll be re-watching this over and over

really thought the massacre of the ledges at the end was a nice touch

My point is that we’ve already seen it. Of course suciu did it better but why would you put so much emphasis on it when someone basically did it, albeit not as good, 15 years ago (alphabet city came out in 2004)

My critiques of the part are with his editor, not the skating. Too long, too much filler, tough music choices, and put together strangely.

If this were 3.5 minutes of the best footage in there,  and then a 7 minute raw footage clip was released after, it would have been so much better.

Less is more in this case.

i liked the line at the philly(?) bank. it had he mirror vibe:

bigspin in vs 270 shuv out
regular vs fakie
tail vs nose
frontside vs backside
out of bank vs into bank

also assuming he did the 5050 after the nollie back heel grind to mirror the 5050 before the nollie front heel grind trick at ABC ledges

or maybe he was just hyped

I just muted it for a rewatch to some classic Dino Jr and holy shit - the music lined up to almost every cut, even when the songs changed, it was fucked. I was able to handle the length a bit more with music I liked, but I 100% think this could have been cut to 5 minutes and it would be even more impactful.

Skating was next level, can't deny that.

Thanks to Jenkem:

In rhetoric, chiasmus or, less commonly, chiasm (Latin term from Greek χίασμα, "crossing", from the Greek χιάζω, chiázō, "to shape like the letter Χ") is a "reversal of grammatical structures in successive phrases or clauses – but no repetition of words".

In the part you can see it on 9:47.
And after it goes like this:

50-50 -> Nollie Fs Heel 50 180
Nollie Croock -> Nollie Fs Flip 50 180
Nose Grind 180 -> Fakie Bs Flip Nose Grind 180
Nollie 180 5-0 -> Nolle Bs 180 50 180
Fakie Flip 50 180 - > Nose Grind 180
Sw Bs Flip 50 180 -> Fakie Croock
Nollie Bs Heel 50 180 -> 5050

Only thing I'd have liked to have seen is a bit of personality to break up the hammers and give it a better flow. Some reaction shots etc. Guess they were going for a different tone.

Enjoyable, except that nollie heel sucui grind was super underwhelming as an ender. Those ledges, like someone said are a curb high. I wouldn’t mind in the middle of the video but as for an ender?

Can we all agree the 'ender' is the noseblunt at 9:20? The rest is an outro sequence.

imagine getting kooked for 38 pages for delaying your part until it was hyped to the point you could never live up to it, and then still blowing everybody's mind and exceeding expectations.

Unless you're Milton Martinez, any footage you were saving to try get SOTY, you're best to save it for next year. It's Mark or Milton, for sure.

I was on my lunch break, purposely set everything aside, put on my headphones and gave my full attention. It totally paid off after all the hype. Even after two songs I thought he can't possibly keep this up and two songs later my mind is melted.

And I think with this video Suciu finally just said "fuck it" and unleashed. From his various interviews he even admits to being very conscious and methodical to the types of tricks he film. In his past video parts I always got a sense that he was holding back a little, especially with his tech tricks/lines. But with Verso he just went all-in with his skill set, especially his "quick feet" type of tricks, yet it all still came out aesthetically pleasing.

Thank you Marc!

Milton's gnarly but Mark is tasteful. I could see it go either way but Mark has got the momentum: Dime sw back 5050, thrasher cover and interview a few months ago, recent Habitat trip, and now this.

Gnarly is Thrasher's aesthetic after all. Mark is the other end of the spectrum. Milton's momentum is built mostly from what he did last year. Still has to deliver something major in 19. Can't wait to see what it is.

My point is that we’ve already seen it. Of course suciu did it better but why would you put so much emphasis on it when someone basically did it, albeit not as good, 15 years ago (alphabet city came out in 2004)

My critiques of the part are with his editor, not the skating. Too long, too much filler, tough music choices, and put together strangely.

If this were 3.5 minutes of the best footage in there,  and then a 7 minute raw footage clip was released after, it would have been so much better.

Less is more in this case.

That back noseblunt slide is in the middle of the ledge

they put emphasis on it because of how well it was executed, aka style matters.
Not to ding how gnar that is that Billy did it, especially several years ago, but there's really no comparison

This was amazing, mark on some Alexander pope shit. shalom to the posters that break some shit down to show how meticulously crafted it is.

I really believe he'll be one of the greatest of this era, having the whole package.

Favourites would be the sideways transfer, quadrupple cellar door ollie and the fakie flip front 5-0 bs 180. Also love just seeing 50-50s

Truly amazing. Might also be the most tasteful pro out there.

Damn. That back feeble line with the board slide alley opp 270 or whatever out up that rail did some weird shit to my brain.

So much going on here. As expected from of dude of his caliber but than again at times I was completely blown away. What's the phrase controlled chaos? Casual carnage? Some real sick shit in sweaters, that was wild. Some of those tricks you just don't do not because they arent possible, but because anybody else some of those just wouldnt look as good or effortless.

So talented but the charm is in those simple intricacies of what he does on a skateboard. Its unreal. That had a different sort of feel to it. Took me back to a different era and the future all in the same time. This dudes always had the hype but fuck this was fresh. Between the scenery the soundtrack and the trick selection it just was astehicstically pleasing. Skill wise what can you say theres no one doing it quite like this. Not looking that good while skating that creatively and at that caliber. That was too good.

When koston said pretzel whip in the on video on Hubba that’s what I always thought, I’ve never heard it called anything else.

tail vs nose
frontside vs backside
out of bank vs into bank

also assuming he did the 5050 after the nollie back heel grind to mirror the 5050 before the nollie front heel grind trick at ABC ledges

or maybe he was just hyped

it's better the second time.

I would take the NYC section as a stand alone for the pre skate stoke with that song. There are better Beruit songs.

I do agree the back noseblunt is THE hammer, especially the way he pulls through and it's entirely locked in. it's fucked! that ledge is rounder than a butt implant.

all the super techy ledge stuff at the end was insane but more of an i got it like that sequence.

come to think of it, who started the rumor of back breaker flip suciu grind on a rail? because that's what i thought was going down per the delay. regardless it was phenomenal.

Man I really can't stand kyle beachy's writing. This paragraph:

"Since at least 2011, Mark Suciu has desired a seriousness from a practice that has historically positioned itself against the serious and scholastic. Verso wears the labor of what went into making it. He is an uncommon talent, an artist who creates by way of discipline and cunning, a virtuoso. Modern skateboarding is made richer by Suciu’s thoughtfulness and deliberateness, for his pretentiousness, if that’s what you’d like to call it."

The part itself is not all that pretentious, as he says it is thoughtful and deliberate. The pretension comes from fuckwits like him having this notion that skateboarders are "positioned against the scholastic" and therefore the part needs to be explained to them.

This is a serious review for serious intellectual skateboarders, but hey, gatekeeping is a massive problem in skateboarding right?

Everyone confused about the ender, and why he took 2 months to make sure he landed it...

In the Jenkem article, it says:

"In the final section of Verso, Mark Suciu shares what only the most passionate denialists would call a poem: the first ever skateboarding chiasmus. The sequence is important enough that had he not gotten the trick, he and Justin were prepared to end Verso after the Blubba noseblunt."

My dumb ass doesn't understand the poem thing but damn, the dude is really serious about this shit.

e: also because the first line begins with a 50-50, he had to end with the 50-50 too. So if he didn't make the 50-50 on the ledge it wouldn't have counted. Imagine that.

Can’t help but to think that some people are just purposely nitpicking but to each their own.

verso had a lot of homages to the editing of dylans alien part.

something about the beirut songs feel like a reference to san jose but i dont know why. 

the skating itself felt like seeing jerrys bag of suck part on some powerful steroids, sometimes it struts that thin line of simple vs technical, other times its complete overkill. a guy might have one of these tricks in his part and call it a day but he has dozens of them.

felt similar to MJs fully flared part but not necessarily due to the length but the amount of references and effort he put into making it. its nice to see some actual effort by a skater to make something worthwhile instead of shitting out a product just to do it.

not really sure how i feel about it overall, hes so skilled he can pretty much skate at any tempo. if it was a 1 or 2 minutes shorter it would probably clarify a lot of what he was trying to do.

My point is that we’ve already seen it. Of course suciu did it better but why would you put so much emphasis on it when someone basically did it, albeit not as good, 15 years ago (alphabet city came out in 2004)

My critiques of the part are with his editor, not the skating. Too long, too much filler, tough music choices, and put together strangely.

If this were 3.5 minutes of the best footage in there,  and then a 7 minute raw footage clip was released after, it would have been so much better.

Less is more in this case.

That back noseblunt slide is in the middle of the ledge

they put emphasis on it because of how well it was executed, aka style matters.
Not to ding how gnar that is that Billy did it, especially several years ago, but there's really no comparison

Rohan's isn't even really a noseblunt-- a backside nose power slide.

How about the bait and "switch" he pulls off in the NYC section at that double set?
I'm defining it as when someone sets up their own banger by doing lesser tricks at the same spot.

He does 4 tricks:
Nollie
BS Flip
Varial Heel
*boom* SW Treflip!

It only makes sense if you play along and believe there's a linear ranking of difficulty per trick (like how Street League attempts to judge skateboarding).
Another example could be Paul Rodriguez in In Bloom when he kickflips over a ~13 stair rail but then later switch flips a 13 stair.

http://www.thrashermagazine.com/articles/mark-suciu-interview/

Let me start of by saying this was one of my most favorite parts of the decade. I know there’re all the complaints about the length, the music, etc. to me, it was the most ambitious skate part ever created, although the ambition doesn’t necessarily make it the best. There’s a distinct composition to the part demarcated by the various sections where Suciu experiments with the various concepts thatre discussed in the interview (most obviously there’re the mirror lines but also just more gnarly atypical tricks combined, up-down tricks, and general spot obliteration. I think the concept part is something that’s been flirted with previously—Dill’s all-line mosaic part, and more recently Walker Ryan’s Wiltshire part—but Suciu has taken those concepts and turned them into something that’s just as pleasing for its technical skill as its aesthetic and creative pursuits.

If he doesn’t win SOTY, it’s because Thrasher is still stuck in their corny SKATE OR DIE image.

That being said, I did find his interview a little arrogant. Reading it all the way through, it doesn’t feel like he gives proper respect to the lineage of skate history. Look, I get it—he’s a smart motherfucker and, speaking as post-grad who’s sick of hearing high school dropouts glorifying their ignorance, I feel like Suciu’s intellect, creativity, and ambition is a breath of fresh air. But still, I wish he acknowledged his predecessors with just a bit more respect/reverence.

Anyways, did anyone else read the interview? Care to comment?

But still, I wish he acknowledged his predecessors with just a bit more respect/reverence.

Anyways, did anyone else read the interview? Care to comment?

I read most of it. I like Suciu's ideas way more in skating than in words. He just comes across as pretty self-involved in this interview. His idea of literature for example is so narrow: "The idea of literature and one’s spoken word, the raw element of one’s own consciousness on the page. It has to do with what I was just talking about—living a deliberate life, trying to create something that is entirely your own product." I just want to tell him stop running circles around yourself and engage with some ideas instead. 

It seems Suciu thinks that the aim of studying literature is mostly to make himself a more interesting person. Self-realization and all that jazz.

When I completed my masters in american literature I always deeply disliked approaches to art that just mostly wanted to decide which was good and which was bad art. These approches seemed to turn the decider (i.e. the literary scientist) into some sort of high priest of what was interesting and what wasn't. They used great work of others to make themselves seem important.
I think the best way to engage with literature is to approach it on the same level: Be open to the ideas and feelings that come through and use them. For me studying literature was always about getting into some cool shit. 

Anyway: I loved that part and I think Sucius ideas are beautiful, when expressed on a skateboard!

I thought all the cellar door stuff was trolling bobby. Also notice how he breaks Ricky O’s golden rule of changing stance after doing tricks in a line instead of doing a trick that would put you in the correct stance?
He did that well though, so maybe he was just trying to prove that it can be done and still look stylish.

I need a few more watches but that front board up the rail pretzel out did my head in 😱

Instant classic if there ever was one, and arguably one of the best parts of the decade. I liked the way the footage was organized, and felt like there were four parts within one larger one, yet kept the flow. The editing and filming was on point and let the skating do the talking. While I think it could have been shortened slightly, it really didn't feel like 11 minutes. I thought after the noseblunt on blubba it would be credits, but wait theres more. Watching it a second time lets you appreciate the number of interesting spots and tricks that go down, and gave me more appreciation for the part overall. The chiasmus is some high level shit, and seems like something only a literature major would come up with.

I do wish there was a fisheye angle of the Thrasher cover 5050. I remember people saying how short the ledge he ollies of of is, but I've never seen the spot so I have no idea. I do love a good gap out to flatbar though. Reminds me of spots you saw more in the early-mid 2000's.

The skating is never the problem with this kid. It's the filming/editing and maybe his style? It's always boring to watch. I want to blame it on the HD as well because I feel only a few filmers can really pull it off(strobeck/wilson/gray mag) and everyone else manages to suck the life out of a decent part. He somehow manages to make every trick look underwhelming. Perhaps because he's light footed. I think he's missing what bobby de geyzer has which is finesse on landing tricks. needs a decent kit change. Baggier clothes maybe? I know mark is easily top 5 when it comes to skill but none of his parts have been watchable since cross continental.

People know the skating is good and the part itself is pretty cool, hey I got pretty excited when I heard the Air song come on (although it was kinda butchered into an instrumental - there is actually an instrumental available already it's called "playground love (vibraphone version)!!"

Granted that mark and this part is pretty much the exact opposite of what has been the prevailing trend of skateboarding videos in the last 5 years. Licensed music? wow, what a fresh and novel approach! It's just this circle-jerk that mark is some academic savior or something, go look at his insta for books he's reading, Jesus... it's the height of pretentiousness, everything he posts is basically novella in length, aka coffee shop books, lol.

In short: part is good, mark is good a skating, anyone trying to make this out to be some arthouse jazz piece that needs a higher intellect to appreciate can suck a fat dick.

"hey you hear mark landed a chiasmus?"

http://www.thrashermagazine.com/articles/mark-suciu-interview/

Let me start of by saying this was one of my most favorite parts of the decade. I know there’re all the complaints about the length, the music, etc. to me, it was the most ambitious skate part ever created, although the ambition doesn’t necessarily make it the best. There’s a distinct composition to the part demarcated by the various sections where Suciu experiments with the various concepts thatre discussed in the interview (most obviously there’re the mirror lines but also just more gnarly atypical tricks combined, up-down tricks, and general spot obliteration. I think the concept part is something that’s been flirted with previously—Dill’s all-line mosaic part, and more recently Walker Ryan’s Wiltshire part—but Suciu has taken those concepts and turned them into something that’s just as pleasing for its technical skill as its aesthetic and creative pursuits.

If he doesn’t win SOTY, it’s because Thrasher is still stuck in their corny SKATE OR DIE image.

That being said, I did find his interview a little arrogant. Reading it all the way through, it doesn’t feel like he gives proper respect to the lineage of skate history. Look, I get it—he’s a smart motherfucker and, speaking as post-grad who’s sick of hearing high school dropouts glorifying their ignorance, I feel like Suciu’s intellect, creativity, and ambition is a breath of fresh air. But still, I wish he acknowledged his predecessors with just a bit more respect/reverence.

Anyways, did anyone else read the interview? Care to comment?
[close]

I read most of it. I like Suciu's ideas way more in skating than in words. He just comes across as pretty self-involved in this interview. His idea of literature for example is so narrow: "The idea of literature and one’s spoken word, the raw element of one’s own consciousness on the page. It has to do with what I was just talking about—living a deliberate life, trying to create something that is entirely your own product." I just want to tell him stop running circles around yourself and engage with some ideas instead. 

It seems Suciu thinks that the aim of studying literature is mostly to make himself a more interesting person. Self-realization and all that jazz.

When I completed my masters in american literature I always deeply disliked approaches to art that just mostly wanted to decide which was good and which was bad art. These approches seemed to turn the decider (i.e. the literary scientist) into some sort of high priest of what was interesting and what wasn't. They used great work of others to make themselves seem important.
I think the best way to engage with literature is to approach it on the same level: Be open to the ideas and feelings that come through and use them. For me studying literature was always about getting into some cool shit. 

Anyway: I loved that part and I think Sucius ideas are beautiful, when expressed on a skateboard!

Great post—definitely helped me clarify my own thoughts on his part and the process and his connection to literature. After reading, I definitely connect more with what you’re saying than whatever Suciu was attempting to say. As a fellow lit grad, I totally agree: reading and learning should make you more open and willing to engage in the experience of others. I connected more with what interviewer Lue Elliott was trying to say (I.e. attempting to translate) than whatever it was Suciu was expounding upon. It felt like he was dismissing a good deal of great skating/great skaters....like he’s the David Foster Wallace of skateboarding, and the rest of the field are just a bunch of dummies flicking their boards. His idea of pursuing perfection is commendable, but the way he attempts to explain this pursuit seems a little dismissive. Like say I love watching Louie Barletta’s parts and by no means are they perfect, but it’s those imperfections that actually create an atmosphere that lends itself to the overall aesthetic when considering the part as a whole.



Regardless, it’s still one of the greatest parts ever created, and I still love his ambition. After watching bullshit slappie/wall ride parts by less skilled skaters who lean way more heavily on their fits, it’s refreshing to see an artistic hardcore street part by a skater where actual skill and talent demolishes the field. Sure, it’s nice to see personality, but man, it’s nice to see some good ol’ face melting bangers thrown in with the art.

I think it's pretty incredible. Mirror lines are sick, but mapping out a 7 line poem is something no one's done before...

50-50 (A) -> Nollie Fs Heel 50 180 (B)
Nollie Croock (C)-> Nollie Fs Flip 50 180 (D)
Nose Grind 180 (E) -> Fakie Bs Flip Nose Grind 180 (F)
Nollie 180 5-0 (G) -> (G) Nolle Bs 180 50 180

(D) Sw Bs Flip 50 180 -> (C) Fakie Croock
(B) Nollie Bs Heel 50 180 -> (A) 5050

I see how D is mirrored but not the other lines. At least, they're not mirrored in the same way. To mirror F, the fakie bs flip nosegrind revert, wouldn't he need to do a 180 flip trick into grind at the beginning of the second F line? And to mirror B, he'd need a Nollie bs heel 5-0 (switch nosegrind), but he does nollie bs heel nosegrind (switch 5-0). I mean it's a sick part, but unless the mirroring is mean to be kind of approximate, I think I'm missing something.

Music is extremely important for setting the mood.

Suciu should have skated to some fancy jazz, kinda like the "Air - Playground Love" that was in the video. Not some Beirut shit that nobody listens to anymore.

There's a sketch somewhere where he's jotted down things like 'flip spin balance' and he's linking them together in lines. So it's not that the tricks are exactly mirrored, but the 'type' of move I guess?

That's just the author of the jenkem article who drew that to understand it, not mark. If you rewatch the part or read above where someone has listed and linked the tricks, then it's clear to see there are both direct and loosely mirrored variations of tricks.

That's thing about SOTY though. When Phelps was alive, he couldn't have given a fuck what you or I or anyone else has to say about it. It was HIS decision. When AVE won SOTY, a lot of people were angry and didn't think he deserved it.

What I'm saying is, Thrasher is by no means "fucked" if Suciu doesn't win SOTY. There is nothing behind the award besides the personal opinion of Burnett at this point. He could pick Danny Way if he wants.

I think it's pretty incredible. Mirror lines are sick, but mapping out a 7 line poem is something no one's done before...

50-50 (A) -> Nollie Fs Heel 50 180 (B)
Nollie Croock (C)-> Nollie Fs Flip 50 180 (D)
Nose Grind 180 (E) -> Fakie Bs Flip Nose Grind 180 (F)
Nollie 180 5-0 (G) -> (G) Nolle Bs 180 50 180
(F) Fakie Flip 50 180 - > (E) Nose Grind 180
(D) Sw Bs Flip 50 180 -> (C) Fakie Croock
(B) Nollie Bs Heel 50 180 -> (A) 5050
[close]

I see how D is mirrored but not the other lines. At least, they're not mirrored in the same way. To mirror F, the fakie bs flip nosegrind revert, wouldn't he need to do a 180 flip trick into grind at the beginning of the second F line? And to mirror B, he'd need a Nollie bs heel 5-0 (switch nosegrind), but he does nollie bs heel nosegrind (switch 5-0). I mean it's a sick part, but unless the mirroring is mean to be kind of approximate, I think I'm missing something.

I can't remember what interview I read it in yesterday (maybe village psychic) but it sounded like he didnt want to exactly mirror tricks because then people could predict what was coming.

I care.

Had to retract my first comment about less being more, enjoyed it way more the second watch.  The only thing that stuck out like a sore thumb was the couple times he awkwardly jumped around to switch stances.  You’d think he’d never allow that in his meticulously crafted superpart.

The skating is never the problem with this kid. It's the filming/editing and maybe his style? It's always boring to watch. I want to blame it on the HD as well because I feel only a few filmers can really pull it off(strobeck/wilson/gray mag) and everyone else manages to suck the life out of a decent part. He somehow manages to make every trick look underwhelming. Perhaps because he's light footed. I think he's missing what bobby de geyzer has which is finesse on landing tricks. needs a decent kit change. Baggier clothes maybe? I know mark is easily top 5 when it comes to skill but none of his parts have been watchable since cross continental.

yo what the fuck do these kids want these days. the music?  it was more than fine, it was great.  Strobek makes HD look good?  if by good you mean like ass, then yes.

some of you have never had any other skate media options for weeks on end besides the Shorty's Hardware where tyrone olson does a nollie hardflip  fs 5050 and wow does it fucking show.

the fact that anyone is bitching lets me know 1. they are a bitch 2. Parents paid their car insurance at 16
Either every skater on Supreme skates on mach10 or Strobeck is a good filmer. Not saying he doesn't fuck up a lot, but he really makes stuff look good more than not.

I enjoyed the part more than most of the stuff that has been put out this year. I thought the music was good, not exactly my taste, but it fit the part and I never felt the need to mute it. It is also great that he put so much effort into creating something that was important to him (even if he might have come off a bit douchy in the process). All that being said. I wasn't blown away by the part. I can't put my finger on why though. Maybe I need to watch it again, but the people that are comparing it to MJ's fully flared part are WAY off the mark.

Let's return to the, umm, artist statement, and give it an honest assessment now that the video is online.

(https://i.imgur.com/bntDFrz.jpg)

Disclaimer: The skating was outstanding, to say the least.

But we have the whole package now -- 'artist statement' and video. So...

Maybe it's bitter, but I (and I think most of us) found the artist statement pretentious all along. But, I wanted to appreciate the video before arguing against it. It had a thesis and I'm a dork for crap like that. Now that I've seen and enjoyed the video, it's fair to argue. I think the video comes across as haphazard in light of the artist statement. His thesis is not delivered. There's no direct theme of tricks or locations. I don't see any symmetry. Sure, there are lots of neat moments with pretzel-spins and rad ledge combos, but calling the part a cohesive whole is farfetched. I'd give the overall project a C.

Now can we please get back to skate videos without thesis statements  :-* Were this a skate video without any smart-guy bragging ahead of its release, I woulda loved it with all my heart. In a sense, I still did. Anyhow.

I'm curious to hear other opinions about this! Maybe someone thinks the thesis was delivered  8)

I have no complaints about this part to be honest. I'm glad that after all of this anticipation that we were blessed with a part that was over 6-7 minutes, a rarity in today's skateboarding video parts.

Besides, as long as the soundtrack is better than the soundtrack to LE's Theatrix, i think we should all be able to stomach it without any major gripes.
It really could have been significantly worse music-wise

Regardless of his interview, the skating is unhatable. He does ridiculously hard shit, so cleanly with a great eye for spots and what he can do with them. This part was a masterpiece. I'll add, I feel I'll re-watch Cross Continential more for a variety of reasons (length, editing, and song-choice), but it reminds me of how Yeah Right is my favorite MJ part for similar reasons over his fully flared magnum opus, but the skating in Verso and FF are technically more impressive than the two prior parts.

you are wrong

Man I really can't stand kyle beachy's writing. This paragraph:

"Since at least 2011, Mark Suciu has desired a seriousness from a practice that has historically positioned itself against the serious and scholastic. Verso wears the labor of what went into making it. He is an uncommon talent, an artist who creates by way of discipline and cunning, a virtuoso. Modern skateboarding is made richer by Suciu’s thoughtfulness and deliberateness, for his pretentiousness, if that’s what you’d like to call it."

The part itself is not all that pretentious, as he says it is thoughtful and deliberate. The pretension comes from fuckwits like him having this notion that skateboarders are "positioned against the scholastic" and therefore the part needs to be explained to them.

This is a serious review for serious intellectual skateboarders, but hey, gatekeeping is a massive problem in skateboarding right?

kyle's writing is awesome, and some skaters are absolutely positioned against academics, they don't need the part explained to them but the patterns are there if you want to look, which is exactly kyle's point later in the article if you cared to read, which you obviously don't

Should of been shorter, a great part but not worth the hype, it won’t stand the test of time like pjwhl or classic Rowley/Reynolds/Daewon parts for example.

oh, if you think we won't be seeing this part's influence in new skaters' parts you are incorrect

I see how D is mirrored but not the other lines. At least, they're not mirrored in the same way. To mirror F, the fakie bs flip nosegrind revert, wouldn't he need to do a 180 flip trick into grind at the beginning of the second F line? And to mirror B, he'd need a Nollie bs heel 5-0 (switch nosegrind), but he does nollie bs heel nosegrind (switch 5-0). I mean it's a sick part, but unless the mirroring is mean to be kind of approximate, I think I'm missing something.

In a chiasmus poem the letters should correspond to words that have the same meaning, but are not the same words. I gave a shite example originally. I think this is better: Truth is power, Authority is knowledge

I'm lost at the Beirut criticism. People are treating them like they're Nickelback. I was legitimately unaware that Condon's music inspired such derision.

I didn't mind it--I think it felt right with the European vibe and abundance of Euro spots.

I'm not sure about why others don't like him, but for me it's that his entire sound is made up of cultural appropriation. It's unoriginal and he writes lyrics about struggles he's never had (no, he didn't grow up in the Eastern Bloc during the Cold War, but the lyrics sure make it sound like he did). It may be different now--I only listened to the first album and a little of the second one before I gave up on him. He has talent for composition, but the obvious disingenuity ruins it for me.
Maybe Suciu could have used some real Balkan brass and people wouldn't be so grumpy about it--or maybe they just wanted something more modern sounding (or less ethnic sounding?) in general. I thought it was a good fit and doesn't ruin a thing for me.

Thanks to Jenkem:

In rhetoric, chiasmus or, less commonly, chiasm (Latin term from Greek χίασμα, "crossing", from the Greek χιάζω, chiázō, "to shape like the letter Χ") is a "reversal of grammatical structures in successive phrases or clauses – but no repetition of words".

In the part you can see it on 9:47.
And after it goes like this:

50-50 -> Nollie Fs Heel 50 180
Nollie Croock -> Nollie Fs Flip 50 180
Nose Grind 180 -> Fakie Bs Flip Nose Grind 180
Nollie 180 5-0 -> Nolle Bs 180 50 180
Fakie Flip 50 180 - > Nose Grind 180
Sw Bs Flip 50 180 -> Fakie Croock
Nollie Bs Heel 50 180 -> 5050

I think it would have been cool to swap the placement of the first and last line. So the section starts and ends with a banger, and not bookended by fs 5050s but hey ho, the whole thing was absolutely mad

i'm not going to quote the responses but yes, i think younger kids are overly critical of the music.  it's just a spoiled mentality that is caused by the accessibility of skate media these days. 

the skate media from 1995 to 2005, arguably the best era, was full of shitty ass songs and edits.  i made a joke about never having the shorty's hardware video being my only option for a long time, and wow was it bad but i was so hyped to have actual skate media.  i watched the shit out of that.

this is really well filmed, the music isn't bad, the editing is well done.  but nah. bitch bitch bitch.

Didn't mind the Beirut tracks, but I prefer the La Femme one for some reason (more upbeat, the buildup on par with the skating, IDK).

That being said, that part is just monumental!
Favorite trick/line : at 6:43, that "quick feet" work over steel the angles in a bank : fs 180 to sw fs shove to nollie to fs 180.

So absurd to be this good !

Can some NYC natives point out with time stamps which spots he skated which were "fake" or "basically a skate park"?

all of the new york spots were real, but he put some lines down at waller (spot in sf by ftc and golden gate park) which is a closed street with qps. the night footage on the perfect granite ledges. i just like being a bitch about it because it seems like something that mark would mind in someone else's part

lenox, in nyc where the ender is, is a chill spot but it's a hassle to film there bc it's mostly cobblestone, there's a citi bike stop there and it's a popular spot to walk through/sit on the ledges for Harlem commuters and families and people on break from the parole office down the street.
kinda perplexed he put the video off for a tech trick there considering it's not really a popping spot nowadays and the village psychic interview did not make it clearer

Man I really can't stand kyle beachy's writing. This paragraph:

"Since at least 2011, Mark Suciu has desired a seriousness from a practice that has historically positioned itself against the serious and scholastic. Verso wears the labor of what went into making it. He is an uncommon talent, an artist who creates by way of discipline and cunning, a virtuoso. Modern skateboarding is made richer by Suciu’s thoughtfulness and deliberateness, for his pretentiousness, if that’s what you’d like to call it."

The part itself is not all that pretentious, as he says it is thoughtful and deliberate. The pretension comes from fuckwits like him having this notion that skateboarders are "positioned against the scholastic" and therefore the part needs to be explained to them.

This is a serious review for serious intellectual skateboarders, but hey, gatekeeping is a massive problem in skateboarding right?

Disclaimer: The skating was outstanding, to say the least.

Maybe it's bitter, but I (and I think most of us) found the artist statement pretentious all along. But, I wanted to appreciate the video before arguing against it. It had a thesis and I'm a dork for crap like that. Now that I've seen and enjoyed the video, it's fair to argue. I think the video comes across as haphazard in light of the artist statement. His thesis is not delivered. There's no direct theme of tricks or locations. I don't see any symmetry. Sure, there are lots of neat moments with pretzel-spins and rad ledge combos, but calling the part a cohesive whole is farfetched. I'd give the overall project a C.

Now can we please get back to skate videos without thesis statements  :-* Were this a skate video without any smart-guy bragging ahead of its release, I woulda loved it with all my heart. In a sense, I still did. Anyhow.

I'm curious to hear other opinions about this! Maybe someone thinks the thesis was delivered  8)

finally... somebody with half a brain

skateboarding in the part is absolutely phenomenal of course but it lacks too much cohesion to be an "artistic statement". Sure I noticed there was an effort at the end of the part to link lines together, I rewatched it straight away too and the first question was "why?", it seems so forced, the "chiasmus" thing, like really what was the point?. The dumb overt academic thing is not cool at all, especially when you revel in its success 

& I noticed that Verso exhibition before too and my god, if I see any artistic statement opening with the etymology of some latin word..... it better be good

It's cool to hear Suciu's thoughts on lit enders and how they related (or didn't) to his thought process.

I feel like fit his aesthetic well. I feel like he took some part of the symphonical structure in the sense he broke it up into 4 parts like that. Looks weird with how music naturally progresses in modern day. I liked the fact the music fit him. Not my favorite music or what I would listen too, but it fits mark. I enjoyed the symphonic feel to it as opposed to a traditional skate video. The two Beirut songs felt thematic in the sense it sounded like a symphony changing a theme in a later movement. this boy just dropped the David Lynch movie of skating, like every detail, shit hes even for the haircut.

I don’t have any friends that still skate. I Would love to have some to just discuss “ended theory” with for hours. Interview made me appreciate what a skate need he is that he gives that much thought to these things and how back noseblunts by their very nature will always be good enders.

I'm lost at the Beirut criticism. People are treating them like they're Nickelback. I was legitimately unaware that Condon's music inspired such derision.

I didn't mind it--I think it felt right with the European vibe and abundance of Euro spots.

I'm not sure about why others don't like him, but for me it's that his entire sound is made up of cultural appropriation. It's unoriginal and he writes lyrics about struggles he's never had (no, he didn't grow up in the Eastern Bloc during the Cold War, but the lyrics sure make it sound like he did). It may be different now--I only listened to the first album and a little of the second one before I gave up on him. He has talent for composition, but the obvious disingenuity ruins it for me.
Maybe Suciu could have used some real Balkan brass and people wouldn't be so grumpy about it--or maybe they just wanted something more modern sounding (or less ethnic sounding?) in general. I thought it was a good fit and doesn't ruin a thing for me.

It also sounds like warmed over Neutral Milk Hotel

Maybe playing with Jeremy Barnes left an impression on him? I saw Barnes once as A Hawk and a Hacksaw. Dude had drumsticks duct taped to his hat so he could play drums with his head while the rest of his limbs were occupied.

Man I really can't stand kyle beachy's writing. This paragraph:

"Since at least 2011, Mark Suciu has desired a seriousness from a practice that has historically positioned itself against the serious and scholastic. Verso wears the labor of what went into making it. He is an uncommon talent, an artist who creates by way of discipline and cunning, a virtuoso. Modern skateboarding is made richer by Suciu’s thoughtfulness and deliberateness, for his pretentiousness, if that’s what you’d like to call it."

The part itself is not all that pretentious, as he says it is thoughtful and deliberate. The pretension comes from fuckwits like him having this notion that skateboarders are "positioned against the scholastic" and therefore the part needs to be explained to them.

This is a serious review for serious intellectual skateboarders, but hey, gatekeeping is a massive problem in skateboarding right?
[close]

kyle's writing is awesome, and some skaters are absolutely positioned against academics, they don't need the part explained to them but the patterns are there if you want to look, which is exactly kyle's point later in the article if you cared to read, which you obviously don't.

I copied over the second last paragraph in the article, clearly I read the whole thing. My issue is his holier-than-thou approach which posits what suciu is doing against skaters historically "only caring about dopeness" - whatever that fucking means. My problem is that (despite the last paragraph) he comes across as saying "the patterns are there if you want to look, but you probably wont."

Here's an attempt at some Kyle Beachy nonsense and you tell me what you think:

Watching Suciu twist and contort his body across the world, we are offered brief glances of cityscapes that ultimately blend together; reminding us yet again of why Benedict Anderson referred to the nation as an "imagined community" in the first place. However, it is not the nation-state alone that we can think of in these terms, as Anderson's ponderings can be applied to the tired clichés we are used to hearing as skateboarders. An "imagined community," the idea that if you are a skateboarder you are "one of us", that you are free from judgment (whether it be race, gender, sexuality, etc.) from your peers as long as you part-take in the activity we love. Ask Suciu, and he will tell you that this idea is a platitude. Somewhat of a tortured genius, isolated from the skateboarding world through a search for perfection and a desire for his skateboarding to be understood in his own terms. In Verso, he reinterprets the skateboard part into something that the layman "Chicken Bown Nowison" viewer may not comprehend - or even be aware of - but for us is profound.

There is so much beauty in how the video ends.

The struggle—he committed to the concept, he committed to releasing the video, and he came through with the trick despite the all the pressure.

The risk—the concept demands that he does the whole line, not just the trick. What if he hits a pebble approaching the 50-50? Just the thought gives me anxiety.

The determination—he does not blink an eye after making the trick and handles the line without hesitation. A remarkable display of self control considering that he has tried this trick for a year and the perfection he has been striving for is suddenly within arms reach.

The last trick—a 50-50 is the perfect trick to end the video. One the one hand, it is familiar and relatable to his audience, a gift we can take to our next skate session. On the other hand, he elevates the trick through the section's structure. It is inseparable from the mind-bender of a trick he worked so hard for. He absolutely needs to make it. And he does, effortlessly. To me, this makes it one of the most significant 50-50 grinds ever done.

The push—the PJ reference, the hint of an open ending, the flow. In hindsight, there is no other way to end this video. The antithesis of the ender-ender, the perfect release of the tension that he builds throughout the video. And it really makes me want to go skate.

the skating is incredible.

poorly chopping up the Air song takes me out of that section.

the intent behind the part is awesome and cool to see it all pan out, and i really really enjoyed the Village Psychic interview, and the jenkem “review” was fun, but overall, all the writing/discussion on it reminds me of reading fan fiction re: the Star Wars ring composition theory re: the prequels

the triple part format (and sterile music choices) made it sorta seem like his Search the Horizon part v2.0

...but again, at its core, the Verso part is some of the most original skating ive seen in a long time

*and by original, i mean thinking of cool ways to skate known spots without resorting to getting weird/no-complying your way thru it

I think mark gets he’s worth more as an artist as a skater, which is the whole point, and I think the point people are missing. If u ever read about Wagner he had this concept of the gesamtkunstwerk, which is a concept and word in German that doesn’t have a good translation, but u know that’s what this is, it’s the whole package. I wish the dude didn’t have to like explain stuff, he could just let his skating do the talking, but I think he thinks skaters are stupid, like that soft form bigotry of low expectations when used in stereotypes of minority groups. I think people that have a high skate IQ will appreciate it more then those that don’t just like any form of art. The point is compared to fine art or cars or any other shit, most skaters don’t have a good education in what we do, like even top pros, like it’s not surprising either, happens in other sports at the high level, bron said some shit like 80% of the league can’t play ball and are just tall and athletic, there’s no thinking in today’s skateboarding and it’s always biggest fastest most given to us in a traditional song format. It’s like Mark did the reverse of history with popular music. Instead of packaged like a pop song for mass production, this mofo made a mothafuckin symphony. This is some gangster ass shit, I’ve watched this way too many fuckin times.

And he does, effortlessly. To me, this makes it one of the most significant 50-50 grinds ever done.

The push—the PJ reference, the hint of an open ending, the flow. In hindsight, there is no other way to end this video. The antithesis of the ender-ender, the perfect release of the tension that he builds throughout the video. And it really makes me want to go skate.

If this isn’t ironic it is a very good analysis, I hope Mark reads it through all the hating comments.
 Part was sick AF for the chicken bone nowison viewers lmao (I enjoyed that video too it’s just a reference to some article I just read here)

If you can’t enjoy every type of skateboarding you have a problem

I have no idea who the band beirut is and the music seemed fitting for his personality. Honestly, with a such a deep trick selection and incredible, unique lines, who the fuck has the mental capacity to even register the music, when there is so much of awesomeness to process with each clip.

There is so much beauty in how the video ends.

The struggle—he committed to the concept, he committed to releasing the video, and he came through with the trick despite the all the pressure.

The risk—the concept demands that he does the whole line, not just the trick. What if he hits a pebble approaching the 50-50? Just the thought gives me anxiety.

The determination—he does not blink an eye after making the trick and handles the line without hesitation. A remarkable display of self control considering that he has tried this trick for a year and the perfection he has been striving for is suddenly within arms reach.

Also, did anyone else find the switch front fifty front big out an odd choice? On that layered ledge thing in NYC.

Loved the part. All the squeaks from ledge slides get me hyped to skate.

For me it's more about wanting to see a solo video part that's not 11 minutes long. We showed it to a friend who hadn't seen it tonight and it felt an hour long to me after already seeing it twice (he also thought it was too long). Absolutely amazing skating, but it could be slimmed down to 5 minutes. I didn't like any of the music but I could handle it in a shorter edit.

Mark Suciu has no taste in music, probably struggles to read his own feelings, let alone other people's feelings.
Mark Suciu has no spontaneity and suffers from it.

He will have more options...most companies employ people with college degrees...even google said they don’t care but I’ve heard that they do indeed look at your educational background.

High school grads have opportunities too but you get more with a college degree

Education is always a better long term investment because it’s a public good that promotes prosperity

that video you posted too is the epitome of low-bar midwit humour, an entire existence based off of the dehumanisation of every person who you deem beneath you by societal metrics.

this notion that intellectualism is somehow banned or taboo in skateboarding is just so regular, it's also part of the larger problem of adults failing to find areas of interest/expertise in anything but skateboarding, a yearning for some semblance of intellectual satisfaction through an art form that needs to be contorted to eldritch levels in presentation for that need to be fulfilled.

I said it "reminds me" of the video. I didn't say that I was Bill Hicks and that I agree with him fully.
I don't want skateboarding to be anything in particular.
It is different things to different people.
Mark seems to want it to be this thing.
Can't we let that be?

That is all.

My main beef with this thread is that 99% of the "haters" are simply jealous. As others have pointed out, they can't trash talk the skating, so they pick the music. Or they pick the intellectual undercurrents. Or the editing (as if he edited it himself). It is okay to let yourself be stoked.

Well said.

The college discussion in this thread is interesting. While I find his degree impractical as a competitive advantage in the professional world, it did inspire him to create one of the best parts in years. It shapes his image and we get good content so its a win for skateboarding.

I also wouldn't be too concerned about his life after skateboarding. That short essay he did for Verso was pure fluff, he's going to be able to talk himself into whatever creative role he wants when he's 35.

It makes sense, though--the preceding clips on that side were clearly not skatestopped (skatestoppered?).

Hasn't this thread been essentially unanimous orgasm for the part? There's almost no critics. 99% of what, two people?

Mark's skating is unreal, but it's part of a whole package that is a media presentation. We're allowed to critique more than just actual tricks. If it were simply about the difficulty of tricks and nothing else, then wouldn't we all be fans of Nyjah etc? Your argument doesn't make sense. Of course I don't want to trash talk the skating - it's nuts. That doesn't mean I liked the music, or HD filming in general, or grey skies, the 11 minute run time, or any number of other factors (editing, fashion etc - neither of those were issues for me in this part however).

On the editing - what are you even getting at with the part I bolded? Editing can't be critiqued unless the skater edits his own part?! That line his hilarious.

It's funny how protective fans can get of their idols. I've never been one to idolize people, but I'm definitely a fan of lots of skaters, and I don't throw a fit when someone has a criticism of their skating or one of their parts. But on here some people get REALLY bent out of shape over the slightest criticism. It's like they only view their favorite skaters through rose colored glasses. Mark Suciu is rad and one of the best skaters ever - this part is one of the sickest parts ever - doesn't mean I'm particularly into it. I respect it though.

Title: Re: Mark Suciu 'Verso'
Post by: DotGuru on October 06, 2019, 12:47:03 PM
It's funny how many people make incorrect assumptions--I've only seen a few clips of him before this (I only started skating again last year). Not an idol. I do like this part a lot, though.

Edited to add:
I just went and watched his Search the Horizon part. I think jangly guitars suit his skating a lot better. If I'd gotten used to seeing all of these other parts, I would probably be disappointed with the music selection. I think the new stuff still fits well, though.

Also, I want to point out that I'm only responding so much because others started making it personal. If anyone else saw posts that contained misconceptions about their thoughts and motives, they would do the same. Still stoked.

“Back in my day, I was able to pay for my history degree out of pocket by working at a restaurant 20 hours a week, and after I graduated I landed a job that offered full benefits, a pension and large enough salary to buy a three bedroom house. I was able to do it, these Millennials have no excuse!”

I'm reading through his interview. Dude rips, no mistaking, but I fucking hate hearing people who can make a good living skateboarding say they stopped because they were"uninspired."

Sorry, but fuck off, Mark.

So many of us (extremely) less talented skateboarders would give pretty much anything to even have the opportunity to take a step back. I get being your best self and all that, but it comes off pretentious when you have an incredible level of "it" and then talk about just wanting to not do it. I've been lucky enough to be able go to college and grad school, but I graduated with a degree from both in knowing how to not sound so much like a douche.

In fairness, I think he’s still living under the assumption that an English degree equates to a good paying job outside of skating and that he has options.

I’m sure growing up in Silicon Valley deterred that idea

It's funny how many people make incorrect assumptions--I've only seen a few clips of him before this (I only started skating again last year). Not an idol. I do like this part a lot, though.

Edited to add:
I just went and watched his Search the Horizon part. I think jangly guitars suit his skating a lot better. If I'd gotten used to seeing all of these other parts, I would probably be disappointed with the music selection. I think the new stuff still fits well, though.

Also, I want to point out that I'm only responding so much because others started making it personal. If anyone else saw posts that contained misconceptions about their thoughts and motives, they would do the same. Still stoked.

not even a hint of irony or self-awareness here

well done boomer

Such a dope part!

He really did a number on blubba and the pyramid ledges. Didn't realize his switch flip bs tail was gapped out past the skatestopper upon first viewing. Also with all the other tricks he did on blubba, I think it's pretty easy to overlook how crazy that fs blunt pop-out was before getting to the kink.

Looking forward to the other part Mark puts out at the end of the year as well as his footage from the recent Thrasher plaza trip. This dude is going to be SOTY.

The skatestopper is on the other ledge.  He gapped out halfway, but not to get over the skatestopper.

I was there two weeks ago they’re all Skate stopped

Mark Suciu might be the best skateboarder on the planet.
Mark Suciu is very smart but not enough to adapt his choice of words to his audience, might be slightly autistic.
Mark Suciu has no taste in music, probably struggles to read his own feelings, let alone other people's feelings.
Mark Suciu has no spontaneity and suffers from it.
Mark Suciu still might be the best skateboarder on the planet.

Well said.

The college discussion in this thread is interesting. While I find his degree impractical as a competitive advantage in the professional world, it did inspire him to create one of the best parts in years. It shapes his image and we get good content so its a win for skateboarding.

I also wouldn't be too concerned about his life after skateboarding. That short essay he did for Verso was pure fluff, he's going to be able to talk himself into whatever creative role he wants when he's 35.

Ehh his wedding outfit post today says all visual creative outlets are out cause fuck he has no sense of style . I think if anything his faux intellectual sense will get him less work he’s a big fish in a small pond of Skate sycophants . Of course he comes off as smart to a bunch of high school drop out Skate rats . But any seasoned creative intellectual would laugh at his stereotypical tastes.

It's probably because Mark carries (or even skates!) his board from spot to spot, just out in the open air for everyone to see like some peasant. If he can afford graduate school, surely he can afford a tasteful bag for his board so other adults don't see that shit. What would they think?

Anyone know who the cameo parts are?  Train/front 3 bro at 6:26 and bearded fella at 7:12? Any others? Curious that he would have cameos in his piece de résistance? Idk feels like it doesn’t quite fit the concept of being so deliberate.

I loved it and the music works better on each replay honesty. Tons of props for what he was trying to create in the last section. I’m absolutely floored. Such a compelling part of the story that he needed to stick the 5050 after the mind melter. Of course it’s a layup but still, as someone else said, he could have hit a pebble, etc. Also ending an opus video part with a simple layup. Doing it his way, no effs given

The line at 2:48 is big standout Ive watched about 4 dozen times now. Such a ridiculously small margin for error on that mach 10 ollie combo which is his setup for a back feeble 180 out that still hurts the head.   

Sorry to hold you all up on my review, I know you’ve been waiting for this

Regular lurker here, one who hasn't posted in many years..These are just random reflections, so don't hesitate to scroll by.

This whole thing brought up some long submerged thoughts. I relate to Mark's attitude. As a 34-year-old guy who majored in creative writing more than a decade ago, I feel for his approach. He is full of energy, creative, gifted, and without child. Since he doesn't seem to revel in booze or smoke and the like, and he comes off as a bookish loner, he seems unnervingly focused on the totality of this project, including its pre-planning.   

When I was in college, before I was injured, trying to pay rent in the Bay Area, and less quick to reach for a beer, I mused about how overly thought out a skate part could be. On one hand, there are classic parts that feel perfectly spontaneous and free form. It's easy to compare such parts to a masterful jazz arrangement. A great example of this, to me, would be Mark Gonzales in Video Days as he skates to the music of John Coltrane. There are many a beloved detail in that part, aside from the big tricks, where he seems to melt into his surroundings with a carve, a kickturn, or a little ollie on the fly. All depending on what the moment calls for. The unplanned activities taking place around him inspires what he does next, with wild yet directed unpredictability as a result. 

Some modern pros such as Evan Smith openly echo this approach. When asked about a trick list on The Bunt podcast, Smith laughs derisively, mocking the notion, and maybe makes fun of those who do such things? I could be wrong about that.

Every skater who puts themselves out there can't not embody some form of style, of course. All the choices they make, from the tricks and spots to the ferociousness of the push. The effortless day dream lines through strangely vacant elementary schools of Danny Garcia, juxtaposed by a Jason Adams, pushing like an unleashed pitbull towards a curb in a busy parking lot to slappy it as if it were coping on a soon to be torn out pool.

There are subtle and overt distinctions in style between every skater, which is one reason why I and many others love to watch and partake in the thing. Every skater produces their own aesthetic, even if their approach isn't meticulously planned out in advance.

But that isn't to say there haven't been others like Mark Suciu. While I enjoyed Jenkem's ( http://www.jenkemmag.com/home/2019/10/03/serious-review-mark-sucius-serious-verso/ (http://www.jenkemmag.com/home/2019/10/03/serious-review-mark-sucius-serious-verso/) ) deep dive on Verso and agree that the part is brilliant, I disagree with the implication that Mark was the first to plan this deeply, to care this much about the artistic wholeness of his part. Others have pointed to Marc Johnson in comparison, but I was reminded of Daewon. Each one of his parts feels like an album from a band that successfully changes its sound over time. There is a calculated and consistent aesthetic that defines most of his parts as individual pieces. From Skate More to Round 3, he has eras, and you can clearly see the planning, requiring multiple people to set up picnic tables slanted off roofs and the like, that had to necessitate many of the tricks. There is also Ronnie Creager, Dennis Busenitz, a lot of tech guys and gnar folk alike who have talked about how long they planned something for a part. Staring down a tower gap for years, scoping the perimeter, casing the security guards' schedule until they know they can make their move. I think the author overly emphasized Mark's uniqueness in this case, and could have looked at the lineage of pros who have obsessed over their parts to better understand where he was coming from.     

In the Jenkem article, the author points out the chiasmus idea in Mark's part, defining it as a term used in poetry and rhetoric. Since Mark discussed the mirroring aspect of the part beforehand, and there is an obvious illustration of chiasmus with the "ABBA" on the piece of glass, it makes sense that the author would spend some time analyzing this.

It's interesting how people who write about skateboarding often compare it to other forms of art. This also makes sense, since skating is a very young thing in relation to most art forms. You often hear people talk about its connection to surfing, visual art, and in the Jenkem article case (which you don’t hear very often), poetry. Or rhetoric. Or some kind of literature. There's another article where Mark talks about skate part enders in relation to novel “enders."

If I had to compare Verso to an art form outside of skating, I would probably go with dance. The endearingly described ‘fourth movement’ is based around tweaked symmetries, lines that repeat and reflect one another but in some cases progress in reverse order. I wish I knew more about dance styles and dancers to give more examples, but I once heard that the ancient Whirling Dervish dance as performed by some Sufi practitioners is meant to reflect the spinning of the planets around the sun.

As pointed out by others, Mark’s twists and counter-rotations within individuals tricks themselves, let alone the ones that can only be seen from a distance after viewing all the lines meant to mirror one another, are pronounced. The pretzel spin might as well be a salsa dance flourish. His quick feet hopping chains and curbs with lighting crackles could just as well be those of a coked out tap dancer on the streets of Manhattan. The epitome of a skater’s style, beyond everything else, comes down to the way they move. Sounds like dance to me.             

I had a hard time making skate dates with skate friends after high school. College was a depressing time for me; full of loneliness and searching. I lost my group of skate friends, and I had a hard time making new ones. There were parties and non-skate friends, but I continued skating, oftentimes alone, all the same. Riding a bus to some distant spot, the more secluded the better. A backpack in the seat next to me, containing little more than a novel and a notebook on most days. I wanted the community of fun loving scamps that I used to have. The fellas who hooted at the landing of a new trick, no matter how sketchy. Skating alone made me weirdly self-conscious about the whole activity. But still, I was addicted. Skating alone is a time for thinking and zoning out. Making plans and getting weird. I imagine someone else in a similar head space… 

Mark chose to film his complicated dance moves in strangely clean urban areas. Angular, vast, modern looking slabs of marble, surfaces polished either by wear or design, are his preferred canvas. City skylines move above him, not much higher than his head thanks to the fish, as he plants tricks with the force of fresh architectural foundations being laid. There are few hollers from the homies, no tussles with security guards or high fives from hobos. This is because he doesn’t so much glide into the vibe already taking place in each city—rather, he stamps his proofread imprint into the hard surfaces that make the place. You can hear it when his wheels clap the ground in unison: “MARKMARKMARKMARK." Except all at once.

That was a whole lot of cheesin, I’d be a fool to not see as much. But loners are allowed to cheese on. God help me for this rambling rant. Bless your hearts, Slap city. Thanks for the timeless part Mr. Suciu, and for waking up the inner creative writer who wants to go outside and make some art.

I was thinking (while watching) that he only skates the finest of marble ledges.

I also like the mind-blown jogger on that second-to-last trick. Guy is just standing there (no board, so I'm assuming not a skate) and just puts his hands on his head like he can't believe what he has seen.

Thanks for bringing up Gonz. Nobody would expect Gonz to do a part like this, nor Jamie Thomas, nor Nyjah (and we wouldn't want to see something like this from them). But we would expect it from Suciu, I guess. It seems to fit him perfectly, based on everything I'm reading in these interviews/articles.

Since he doesn't seem to revel in booze or smoke and the like, and he comes off as a bookish loner, he seems unnervingly focused on the totality of this project, including its pre-planning.   

When I was in college, before I was injured, trying to pay rent in the Bay Area, and less quick to reach for a beer, I mused about how overly thought out a skate part could be. On one hand, there are classic parts that feel perfectly spontaneous and free form. It's easy to compare such parts to a masterful jazz arrangement. A great example of this, to me, would be Mark Gonzales in Video Days as he skates to the music of John Coltrane. There are many a beloved detail in that part, aside from the big tricks, where he seems to melt into his surroundings with a carve, a kickturn, or a little ollie on the fly. All depending on what the moment calls for. The unplanned activities taking place around him inspires what he does next, with wild yet directed unpredictability as a result. 

Some modern pros such as Evan Smith openly echo this approach. When asked about a trick list on The Bunt podcast, Smith laughs derisively, mocking the notion, and maybe makes fun of those who do such things? I could be wrong about that.

Every skater who puts themselves out there can't not embody some form of style, of course. All the choices they make, from the tricks and spots to the ferociousness of the push. The effortless day dream lines through strangely vacant elementary schools of Danny Garcia, juxtaposed by a Jason Adams, pushing like an unleashed pitbull towards a curb in a busy parking lot to slappy it as if it were coping on a soon to be torn out pool.

There are subtle and overt distinctions in style between every skater, which is one reason why I and many others love to watch and partake in the thing. Every skater produces their own aesthetic, even if their approach isn't meticulously planned out in advance.

But that isn't to say there haven't been others like Mark Suciu. While I enjoyed Jenkem's ( http://www.jenkemmag.com/home/2019/10/03/serious-review-mark-sucius-serious-verso/ (http://www.jenkemmag.com/home/2019/10/03/serious-review-mark-sucius-serious-verso/) ) deep dive on Verso and agree that the part is brilliant, I disagree with the implication that Mark was the first to plan this deeply, to care this much about the artistic wholeness of his part. Others have pointed to Marc Johnson in comparison, but I was reminded of Daewon. Each one of his parts feels like an album from a band that successfully changes its sound over time. There is a calculated and consistent aesthetic that defines most of his parts as individual pieces. From Skate More to Round 3, he has eras, and you can clearly see the planning, requiring multiple people to set up picnic tables slanted off roofs and the like, that had to necessitate many of the tricks. There is also Ronnie Creager, Dennis Busenitz, a lot of tech guys and gnar folk alike who have talked about how long they planned something for a part. Staring down a tower gap for years, scoping the perimeter, casing the security guards' schedule until they know they can make their move. I think the author overly emphasized Mark's uniqueness in this case, and could have looked at the lineage of pros who have obsessed over their parts to better understand where he was coming from.     

In the Jenkem article, the author points out the chiasmus idea in Mark's part, defining it as a term used in poetry and rhetoric. Since Mark discussed the mirroring aspect of the part beforehand, and there is an obvious illustration of chiasmus with the "ABBA" on the piece of glass, it makes sense that the author would spend some time analyzing this.

It's interesting how people who write about skateboarding often compare it to other forms of art. This also makes sense, since skating is a very young thing in relation to most art forms. You often hear people talk about its connection to surfing, visual art, and in the Jenkem article case (which you don’t hear very often), poetry. Or rhetoric. Or some kind of literature. There's another article where Mark talks about skate part enders in relation to novel “enders."

If I had to compare Verso to an art form outside of skating, I would probably go with dance. The endearingly described ‘fourth movement’ is based around tweaked symmetries, lines that repeat and reflect one another but in some cases progress in reverse order. I wish I knew more about dance styles and dancers to give more examples, but I once heard that the ancient Whirling Dervish dance as performed by some Sufi practitioners is meant to reflect the spinning of the planets around the sun.

As pointed out by others, Mark’s twists and counter-rotations within individuals tricks themselves, let alone the ones that can only be seen from a distance after viewing all the lines meant to mirror one another, are pronounced. The pretzel spin might as well be a salsa dance flourish. His quick feet hopping chains and curbs with lighting crackles could just as well be those of a coked out tap dancer on the streets of Manhattan. The epitome of a skater’s style, beyond everything else, comes down to the way they move. Sounds like dance to me.             

I had a hard time making skate dates with skate friends after high school. College was a depressing time for me; full of loneliness and searching. I lost my group of skate friends, and I had a hard time making new ones. There were parties and non-skate friends, but I continued skating, oftentimes alone, all the same. Riding a bus to some distant spot, the more secluded the better. A backpack in the seat next to me, containing little more than a novel and a notebook on most days. I wanted the community of fun loving scamps that I used to have. The fellas who hooted at the landing of a new trick, no matter how sketchy. Skating alone made me weirdly self-conscious about the whole activity. But still, I was addicted. Skating alone is a time for thinking and zoning out. Making plans and getting weird. I imagine someone else in a similar head space… 

Mark chose to film his complicated dance moves in strangely clean urban areas. Angular, vast, modern looking slabs of marble, surfaces polished either by wear or design, are his preferred canvas. City skylines move above him, not much higher than his head thanks to the fish, as he plants tricks with the force of fresh architectural foundations being laid. There are few hollers from the homies, no tussles with security guards or high fives from hobos. This is because he doesn’t so much glide into the vibe already taking place in each city—rather, he stamps his proofread imprint into the hard surfaces that make the place. You can hear it when his wheels clap the ground in unison: “MARKMARKMARKMARK." Except all at once.

That was a whole lot of cheesin, I’d be a fool to not see as much. But loners are allowed to cheese on. God help me for this rambling rant. Bless your hearts, Slap city. Thanks for the timeless part Mr. Suciu, and for waking up the inner creative writer who wants to go outside and make some art.

Well said.

The college discussion in this thread is interesting. While I find his degree impractical as a competitive advantage in the professional world, it did inspire him to create one of the best parts in years. It shapes his image and we get good content so its a win for skateboarding.

I also wouldn't be too concerned about his life after skateboarding. That short essay he did for Verso was pure fluff, he's going to be able to talk himself into whatever creative role he wants when he's 35.
[close]

Ehh his wedding outfit post today says all visual creative outlets are out cause fuck he has no sense of style . I think if anything his faux intellectual sense will get him less work he’s a big fish in a small pond of Skate sycophants . Of course he comes off as smart to a bunch of high school drop out Skate rats . But any seasoned creative intellectual would laugh at his stereotypical tastes.

I disagree that he's a faux intellectual.  Although he is clearly playing up an image to sell product, he also articulated his project with a lot of passion. If anything his biggest weakness is that his vibe is too calculated, not that he's pretending to know a bunch of stuff that he doesn't.

Working as a digital product designer - with a masters degree, my coworkers are usually stoked when they come across someone who gives a shit about their medium. Especially when they apply different influences to it, even if the end result didn't come out as clear. I think he's going to be alright in the future.

Also, I'm black so I dont really understand how much of a violation skating to Beruit is as I'm literally just learning who they are from reading this thread. Keep that in mind.

I would worry about 99% of the other pro skaters future before his since he's definitely part of the 1%.

Regular lurker here, one who hasn't posted in many years..These are just random reflections, so don't hesitate to scroll by.

This whole thing brought up some long submerged thoughts. I relate to Mark's attitude. As a 34-year-old guy who majored in creative writing more than a decade ago, I feel for his approach. He is full of energy, creative, gifted, and without child. Since he doesn't seem to revel in booze or smoke and the like, and he comes off as a bookish loner, he seems unnervingly focused on the totality of this project, including its pre-planning.   

When I was in college, before I was injured, trying to pay rent in the Bay Area, and less quick to reach for a beer, I mused about how overly thought out a skate part could be. On one hand, there are classic parts that feel perfectly spontaneous and free form. It's easy to compare such parts to a masterful jazz arrangement. A great example of this, to me, would be Mark Gonzales in Video Days as he skates to the music of John Coltrane. There are many a beloved detail in that part, aside from the big tricks, where he seems to melt into his surroundings with a carve, a kickturn, or a little ollie on the fly. All depending on what the moment calls for. The unplanned activities taking place around him inspires what he does next, with wild yet directed unpredictability as a result. 

Some modern pros such as Evan Smith openly echo this approach. When asked about a trick list on The Bunt podcast, Smith laughs derisively, mocking the notion, and maybe makes fun of those who do such things? I could be wrong about that.

This whole thing brought up some long submerged thoughts. I relate to Mark's attitude. As a 34-year-old guy who majored in creative writing more than a decade ago, I feel for his approach. He is full of energy, creative, gifted, and without child. Since he doesn't seem to revel in booze or smoke and the like, and he comes off as a bookish loner, he seems unnervingly focused on the totality of this project, including its pre-planning.   

When I was in college, before I was injured, trying to pay rent in the Bay Area, and less quick to reach for a beer, I mused about how overly thought out a skate part could be. On one hand, there are classic parts that feel perfectly spontaneous and free form. It's easy to compare such parts to a masterful jazz arrangement. A great example of this, to me, would be Mark Gonzales in Video Days as he skates to the music of John Coltrane. There are many a beloved detail in that part, aside from the big tricks, where he seems to melt into his surroundings with a carve, a kickturn, or a little ollie on the fly. All depending on what the moment calls for. The unplanned activities taking place around him inspires what he does next, with wild yet directed unpredictability as a result. 

Some modern pros such as Evan Smith openly echo this approach. When asked about a trick list on The Bunt podcast, Smith laughs derisively, mocking the notion, and maybe makes fun of those who do such things? I could be wrong about that.

Every skater who puts themselves out there can't not embody some form of style, of course. All the choices they make, from the tricks and spots to the ferociousness of the push. The effortless day dream lines through strangely vacant elementary schools of Danny Garcia, juxtaposed by a Jason Adams, pushing like an unleashed pitbull towards a curb in a busy parking lot to slappy it as if it were coping on a soon to be torn out pool.

There are subtle and overt distinctions in style between every skater, which is one reason why I and many others love to watch and partake in the thing. Every skater produces their own aesthetic, even if their approach isn't meticulously planned out in advance.

But that isn't to say there haven't been others like Mark Suciu. While I enjoyed Jenkem's ( http://www.jenkemmag.com/home/2019/10/03/serious-review-mark-sucius-serious-verso/ (http://www.jenkemmag.com/home/2019/10/03/serious-review-mark-sucius-serious-verso/) ) deep dive on Verso and agree that the part is brilliant, I disagree with the implication that Mark was the first to plan this deeply, to care this much about the artistic wholeness of his part. Others have pointed to Marc Johnson in comparison, but I was reminded of Daewon. Each one of his parts feels like an album from a band that successfully changes its sound over time. There is a calculated and consistent aesthetic that defines most of his parts as individual pieces. From Skate More to Round 3, he has eras, and you can clearly see the planning, requiring multiple people to set up picnic tables slanted off roofs and the like, that had to necessitate many of the tricks. There is also Ronnie Creager, Dennis Busenitz, a lot of tech guys and gnar folk alike who have talked about how long they planned something for a part. Staring down a tower gap for years, scoping the perimeter, casing the security guards' schedule until they know they can make their move. I think the author overly emphasized Mark's uniqueness in this case, and could have looked at the lineage of pros who have obsessed over their parts to better understand where he was coming from.     

In the Jenkem article, the author points out the chiasmus idea in Mark's part, defining it as a term used in poetry and rhetoric. Since Mark discussed the mirroring aspect of the part beforehand, and there is an obvious illustration of chiasmus with the "ABBA" on the piece of glass, it makes sense that the author would spend some time analyzing this.

It's interesting how people who write about skateboarding often compare it to other forms of art. This also makes sense, since skating is a very young thing in relation to most art forms. You often hear people talk about its connection to surfing, visual art, and in the Jenkem article case (which you don’t hear very often), poetry. Or rhetoric. Or some kind of literature. There's another article where Mark talks about skate part enders in relation to novel “enders."

If I had to compare Verso to an art form outside of skating, I would probably go with dance. The endearingly described ‘fourth movement’ is based around tweaked symmetries, lines that repeat and reflect one another but in some cases progress in reverse order. I wish I knew more about dance styles and dancers to give more examples, but I once heard that the ancient Whirling Dervish dance as performed by some Sufi practitioners is meant to reflect the spinning of the planets around the sun.

As pointed out by others, Mark’s twists and counter-rotations within individuals tricks themselves, let alone the ones that can only be seen from a distance after viewing all the lines meant to mirror one another, are pronounced. The pretzel spin might as well be a salsa dance flourish. His quick feet hopping chains and curbs with lighting crackles could just as well be those of a coked out tap dancer on the streets of Manhattan. The epitome of a skater’s style, beyond everything else, comes down to the way they move. Sounds like dance to me.             

I had a hard time making skate dates with skate friends after high school. College was a depressing time for me; full of loneliness and searching. I lost my group of skate friends, and I had a hard time making new ones. There were parties and non-skate friends, but I continued skating, oftentimes alone, all the same. Riding a bus to some distant spot, the more secluded the better. A backpack in the seat next to me, containing little more than a novel and a notebook on most days. I wanted the community of fun loving scamps that I used to have. The fellas who hooted at the landing of a new trick, no matter how sketchy. Skating alone made me weirdly self-conscious about the whole activity. But still, I was addicted. Skating alone is a time for thinking and zoning out. Making plans and getting weird. I imagine someone else in a similar head space… 

Mark chose to film his complicated dance moves in strangely clean urban areas. Angular, vast, modern looking slabs of marble, surfaces polished either by wear or design, are his preferred canvas. City skylines move above him, not much higher than his head thanks to the fish, as he plants tricks with the force of fresh architectural foundations being laid. There are few hollers from the homies, no tussles with security guards or high fives from hobos. This is because he doesn’t so much glide into the vibe already taking place in each city—rather, he stamps his proofread imprint into the hard surfaces that make the place. You can hear it when his wheels clap the ground in unison: “MARKMARKMARKMARK." Except all at once.

That was a whole lot of cheesin, I’d be a fool to not see as much. But loners are allowed to cheese on. God help me for this rambling rant. Bless your hearts, Slap city. Thanks for the timeless part Mr. Suciu, and for waking up the inner creative writer who wants to go outside and make some art.

i really wanted to hate this, but i really, really didn't.

i want to read everything you write about skateboarding

Opening line
Tre flip nose grind, frontside flip, switch tre nose grind, switch frontside flip,  switch heel, half cab flip 5-0, nollie backside flip fakie 5-0, fakie flip, switch flip.

Loved the part, but so disappointed this line wasn't in it. I was looking forward to it. Why do people fabricate bullshit about an upcoming part?

Agreed, Greco writing tricks he wanted to do for Baker 3 on paper and creating a paper chain link when he landed each trick comes to mind.

I know this is a very, very late observation but I've only just realised the 'mirror' premise of the last section.

As well as being amazing in its own right this also raises the question:

Does that final fs 50 have the highest ever ratio of pressure-to-make vs ease-to-do of any trick ever filmed?

According to Jenkem, if hadn't got the final line they wouldn't have included the final section at all, as he was determined it had to perfectly mirror.

So if he'd messed up that front 50, he would have either had to get the nollie heel suciu grind again (the trick that already delayed the video's release by months) or shelve that whole section of the part...

Imagine trying to keep your mind quiet as you pop into that...

Really hyped that that's how it ends now I know the full story.

Agreed. Every time I watch a new part that I really love, it makes me want to learn better ledge tricks, or do more stairs, or learn more transition tricks....

Then I go out and push myself, get hurt, and realize all over again that I'm old.

I’m the opposite. Trying to learn tranny as an old. Spent 95% of my time Street skating and 5% on mini ramp. Frustrating seeing something as simple as pumping to keep consistent speed and struggling. My buddy said it will just click but rather embarrassing learning while heads is shredding :(

Yes. Most of my skating was in parking lots, with few ledges or curbs. Now when I go out I’ll try and catch some basic flip tricks, fail, get bummed quickly. I didn’t seek out transistion, and when it became more available I was further along in my skate life and didn’t want to pay the dues. Still don’t.

Same. Got good at street and by the time there were local parks I would just skate the non-transition obstacles. I would just kickturn on quarterpipes or drop in, but no lip tricks. Now I'm trying to learn it and I wish I'd done it sooner.

I never had any ramps. It’s crazy seeing people that did. Must be like riding a bike. Dude was like I haven’t skated forever and was murdering the mini. I guess I have to take my lumps and learn the absolute basics and look like I've never skated before  :-\

It was the same for me until recently. It's definitely worth learning. I mean, I pretty much stick to dropping in and carving, but learning how to pump made skateboarding so much better. I'm awkward and it took me 5 years of trying kickflips to land my first one, so if I can learn, I guarantee that other people can, too.

I'm pretty much over flip tricks and ledge tricks, but trying quick-footed stuff like Suciu does with the manholes are incredibly fun.

I never had any ramps. It’s crazy seeing people that did. Must be like riding a bike. Dude was like I haven’t skated forever and was murdering the mini. I guess I have to take my lumps and learn the absolute basics and look like I've never skated before  :-\

The looking like I’ve never skated before thing bums me out, but my petty old man vanity is truly silly: it’s been a long time since I was ‘good’, and that was always limited to flat. Same principles got in the way of learning ledge stuff, it wasn’t near me till I was older and felt like i was ‘good’ (obviously wasn’t) and didn’t want to publicly struggle. Which is sooo lame to think that way. The ramp tricks definitely seem to be less streaky than the flips. Like I’ll see people I would never think of as more coordinated than I just handling transition with great consistency. Pretty sick. Where as I show up try and switch flip/kickflip/treflip and then retreat to the gear section/truck thread.
Off track.
Part was sick, he’s not my guy. He clearly worked for his stuff, something I clearly cannot relate to

Word. A Verso vs. Cross Continental would be dope.

Also, wouldn’t call the back noseblunt on Blubba unfathomable since Rohan already did a noseblunt to shalom slide on it.

Slide is redundant since the backside shalom implies the slide.

That's all fine and dandy but in each section where he flips his board he goes either goes nollie or fakie in both A and B. But in section 4 he goes nollie in A then goes switch in B. He fucked up his own verso.

i think the whole verso thing is amazing .. but the fact that he had to spell it out for everyone straight up allows it to lose its luster .. it wouldve been more impactful if he put out this part and then slowly over time people started to piece it together .. especially in this age of rare rewatches

True, but the fact that he did spell it out, and a lot of people still don’t know why the last trick is a 5050 is pretty funny

I don’t want to suck Mark’s presumably perfectly symmetrical balls too much here, but he does discuss this to some extent in this interview:

http://www.villagepsychic.net/blog/rules-of-skateboarding-13-mark-suciu (http://www.villagepsychic.net/blog/rules-of-skateboarding-13-mark-suciu)

for those that don’t want to read the whole thing but do want the juicy part where he shit talks his elder teammates’ trick selection-

“It does have to do with my slight discontent with mirrored lines. They’re supposed to be conceptual, but it’s the case of a concept completely ruining the skating. If you do a mirrored line, everyone is going to know what you’re about to do on the fourth trick. I love Silas so much, but he posted that stupid line where he does half-Cab up the curb, frontsidle flip the gap – It’s at a shopping center –then nollie frontside180, switch frontside flip the gap. You know he’s going to do when he nollie frontside 180s the curb. You know he’s going to switch frontside flip the gap. The reason he posted that is because it’s a concept, but the gap wasn’t that big, the tricks aren’t that hard.

So yeah, I think mirrored lines are kind of dumb, but my brain still gravitates towards them. I wanted to mess with it a little bit. Say Silas did half-Cab up a curb, frontside flip, then the next line was nollie frontside 180, switch frontside 360 flip. That would be a little bit cooler. It keeps the structure, but it’s a surprise.”

Anyways, the idea for me is more about movement than perfect symmetry, or trick nomenclature. When I first watched the part, the Verso section didn’t do anything for me because super tech ledge maneuvers that only grind the last 6 inches of the ledge are arguably the worst kind of skateboard tricks out there. But on repeated views, the Verso thing kind of sunk in and i realized it might be more about diving deep into a directional, spinning kind of  thought process that you can only really accomplish with that ledge in the middle to stop your motion and unwind in the other direction. In other words, I feel that the Verso is more about the dancing aspect of his skating than it is about all the flipping and the grinds.

Yeah, I was just being anal with the nitpicking there. Like he could have ended it with a bs 50-50 instead of another frontside but I get where he was going. Either way this part is still too hard to comprehend and Suciu is too smart for his own good.

But that isn't to say there haven't been others like Mark Suciu. While I enjoyed Jenkem's ( http://www.jenkemmag.com/home/2019/10/03/serious-review-mark-sucius-serious-verso/ (http://www.jenkemmag.com/home/2019/10/03/serious-review-mark-sucius-serious-verso/) ) deep dive on Verso and agree that the part is brilliant, I disagree with the implication that Mark was the first to plan this deeply, to care this much about the artistic wholeness of his part. Others have pointed to Marc Johnson in comparison, but I was reminded of Daewon. Each one of his parts feels like an album from a band that successfully changes its sound over time. There is a calculated and consistent aesthetic that defines most of his parts as individual pieces. From Skate More to Round 3, he has eras, and you can clearly see the planning, requiring multiple people to set up picnic tables slanted off roofs and the like, that had to necessitate many of the tricks. There is also Ronnie Creager, Dennis Busenitz, a lot of tech guys and gnar folk alike who have talked about how long they planned something for a part. Staring down a tower gap for years, scoping the perimeter, casing the security guards' schedule until they know they can make their move. I think the author overly emphasized Mark's uniqueness in this case, and could have looked at the lineage of pros who have obsessed over their parts to better understand where he was coming from.     
I will say, I love the point about Daewon. Suciu def gives MJ and Daewon vibes. He has the rare combo of insane technical ability combined with an eye for a spot that is rare. Both of them eschewed one-up-manship generally, for unique technical spots at a spot they stumbled across. What defines great skaters like these is that insane combo. This may sound crazy but its basically a combo of people who have the technical ability of people in The Storm, meets people who have an eye for a spot like a Static video.

I hadn't realized until my most recent rewatch, but the ABBA section has mirrored spots. With one exception, unless I'm mistaken.

Lenox Ledges > Waller Ledges > ??? > ABC :switches sides: ABC < ??? < Waller Ledges < Lenox Ledges

Are the two unknown (to me) spots related in any way?

Man I feel you. I'm literally dyslexic when it comes to some tricks. I'm just like damn that was cool!... Wtf did they really do though? Feel so stupid but when It looks too effortless usually my old dense ass can't process it quick enough. Unless I'm a huge fan of that particular person. Even then I get confused sometimes and have to watch twice. I suck at math though so go figure.

I'm still struggling to figure out his claim that Heath Kirchart's Mind Field ender doesn't work because it lends itself to one-up-manship, when the entire point of that ender is that:

1. Heath one-ups himself within those two final clips, because he does the kickflip (that everyone already saw and is ender-worthy already) at the apex of the song and boom, the part keeps going and he does the backside flip in all black, and...

2. the first trick in his Stay Gold part is a frontside flip over the same gap in all white. There's continuity, there's presence, he did three amazing tricks over that gap, we remember those tricks. Sure, he got one-upped, but we still call it the Heath gap.

Same thing with his Stay Gold "ender," - the kickflip over the hydrant isn't the trick, the hill bomb and the flick off is the trick. It goes beyond the actual act of skateboarding, it's a personality thing, a presence thing.

Honestly, the vibe I get is that the only skateboarding Mark Suciu wants to intellectualize is his own.

2. the first trick in his Stay Gold part is a frontside flip over the same gap in all white. There's continuity, there's presence, he did three amazing tricks over that gap, we remember those tricks. Sure, he got one-upped, but we still call it the Heath gap.

Same thing with his Stay Gold "ender," - the kickflip over the hydrant isn't the trick, the hill bomb and the flick off is the trick. It goes beyond the actual act of skateboarding, it's a personality thing, a presence thing.

Honestly, the vibe I get is that the only skateboarding Mark Suciu wants to intellectualize is his own.

I wish skateboarders would just skate. Mark is a great skateboarder but every time I read an interview I like him less with his "trying to be smart/actually being smart" no one cares just skate

Interesting.
 One minor quibble: flick off. Maybe that’s a regional thing? I mean I guess flip off doesn’t make anymore sense....maybe it’s not regional? I feel like flick off is for the religious, or younger people, but like younger people 20 years ago. And none of that probably applies to you, unless it does. Truly doesn’t matter. Now it’s all I can think about. I am sorry.

this is a dumbass take my guy.
Why read an interview if you wish they would "just skate". Let him do what he wants, for his reasons. It's a great part even if you don't know about the verso stuff. Just don't think about it too hard. He's not hurting you, he gave you a free part and you didn't have to watch it or read this thread, you could "just skate".

I'm going to make my wife watch it with me when she's feeling better. Last night she had to leave the room saying the tricks were too fast and the fisheye was making her feel nauseous.

My wife watched it with me on my second viewing. When we went to bed she said she had that last song stuck in her head.

Suciu seems like the type of dude that would be stoked that you guys are watching his part with your wives, and loved ones, bringing families together and shit like that. And I mean that in the best possible way. Part was bananas.
Actually judging by his interviews he seems like the type of the dude that would berate you for not watching skate videos in the "proper way."

I didn't say any thing about the part or his skating. I don't enjoy reading interviews about taking skateboarding too serious or coming off as taking it too serious. It's skateboarding, the industry is a bunch of men riding a toy for a living. Treat it as such.

it sounds pretty conservative to say it's just a toy. It's true but fuck that

some skaters have a brain and are more than welcome to use it

Progression can be about one more stair and going for the gnarliest stuff, it can also be about finding new ways to hit spots and articulate a project to showcase that.

For this particular instance yes, you are correct, his stuff was not coming through social. I was speaking in more broad terms. It all goes back to that saying "never meet your heroes/idols" and with current social media it's like one degree away from being in a room and talking directly to someone. I just want to watch good skating, maybe read an interview about the hi jinx of a tour or about the leaving/starting a new company. Just let the skating do the talking for the most part.

Honestly, the vibe I get is that the only skateboarding Mark Suciu wants to intellectualize is his own.

That's an interesting way to put it; then again I've also sensed a similar tendency in other people throughout the years who also think of their skating as sophisticated (which isn't always unjustified) and are so focused on how precisely they present it that they naturally become very critical of different people's approaches. OG Puleo could be one popular, renowned example, I guess that happens when one emotionally invests themselves in their skating enough that it becomes a serious outlet with more personal significance than either a casual hobby or standard day job (depending on their position). I never liked how being serious about skateboarding was always considered a kook thing (usually by people who are jaded they've made some wrong life choices), like that's supposed to take all the fun out of it; if anything it only means you like skating so much you're naturally driven to explore more than just its surface level, which actually means more fun, and it is possible to remain remotely self-aware all the while watching that your shit gets presented according to your own creative vision. Kookiness only comes into play when one loses that self-awareness and forgets that their vision is just one take on the skateboard as an object amongst millions of others, regardless of how sharp it may be.

Earlier in this thread I was saying Suciu is the Bob the Builder of skateboarding because here, to me he looks like he's pretty much trying to singlehandedly fix everything caricatures of old timers might think is wrong in skateboarding right now. Bringing back the idea of putting thought into your skateboarding and duly treating like it a craft (one could argue the Thrasher exposure makes Verso a vulgarization of that train of thought), bringing back longer videos with anticipation hype and rewatch value, taking bits and bobs from Magenta / Isle and reinterpreting them like he's almost trying to correct them. All by putting his body through some insane shit, that's pretty blue collar to me and contrasts with his intellectual persona in a fashion I think is funny.

Honestly if anything Mark looks a bit conflicted, the impression I get is his passion for skating screams a sincerity that's not really fit for the modern industry standards where in order to appeal to the masses, every pro has to be a fucking cardboard image of something and fit under a popular designation. Dude has been presented to the world as 'that one skater who reads books' since his teenage years when he was still living off nothing but Subway sandwiches, that just has to fuck with one's development to the point of having them think they maybe are the sarcophagus they were given eventually, or at least influence their cognitive process. Marketing can make anyone believe anything; I've gotten some shit on here before just for saying Suciu wasn't the first one to put thought into a skate project FFS (which doesn't take anything away from his effort either). Then again, on here I've also been told that MJ's ender in Fully Flared was respectable because 'it had a story behind it', like no shit, yeah since the media romanticized that struggle, that really had to be a first.

I'm also rather emotionally invested in skating, relatively critical and have been posting mostly sarcasm in this thread so far but the clip was a good watch (of course the skating itself was insane) and I think I can recognize and appreciate Mark's intent with it, or maybe I'm just projecting. Just singlehandedly building up that much hype for, and generating that much discussion around a skate clip nowadays is remarkable, and regardless of one's impression regarding said clip and how justified the designation might be, the way it is presented and promoted as a creative effort will always be more inspiring of a message to the kids in the long run than the average logo-filled shoe ad.

Thanks, dude! I just read the whole thing. It is pretty clear and informative. I found he explained his interests in literature and his process for filming a part way better than in the thrasher interview. He claims he does not read Slap even though he seems to know slap's opinion of him. I found the many aspects of his obsession with control pretty interesting.

thanks. It's my hunch that a lot of people who quote "great authors" only do so to avoid confronting the barrenness of their own thoughts, but primarily to increase their own cultural capital. This behavior is routine for the humanities, and it contributes to the increasing social impotence of these studies.

I'm not accusing wendell of participating in this behavior, but unless he can explain why he gives any credence to the statement "architecture is frozen music" (spake by GOETHE, let us not forget!), he's guilty until proven innocent.

Is this a petty thing to drag out? Possibly. But don't forget, someone once wrote ten books about an implacable old man who pestered his dinner hosts to give him a satisfactory definition of the word "justice" and surely if i were to drop this person's name, we'd all be embarrassed to say that he was dumb and "wasting his time on stupid arguments."

The thing about shit like this is that it can be interpreted 500 different ways by 500 different people.

I'm not going to speak for Wendell because I don't know how he interprets "architecture is frozen music", but I can tell you what I take from it. I will not call you dumb at any point because I do not think you are dumb whatsoever.

Architecture is based on the art of designing something for the public to take in. Music works the same way. When you write a song, there are many different components that go into it (vocals, different instruments, etc...). You use trial and error to put the pieces together until you are happy with the final product. The public then takes in the final product, not knowing all of the work that went into creating it.

With architecture, the process of creating something is the same as the process of creating a great song. Trial and error and painstaking effort to reach the final product.

The difference is that music (although you are simply hearing it), is fluid and can move you. Architecture is not fluid, it is frozen in place, but can still move you.

I honestly don't know if any of that makes sense at all, but that's my interpretation of the quote. How it applies to Suciu's part, I have no idea.

Thanks, Dan.

I agree. There's a similar aspect of composition in both music and architecture. I think your most interesting idea is that both are created for reception, and that they're received differently: music is fluid a object, while architecture is static object.

What's interesting is that to perceive the entirety of a work of music, you only need to sit and listen to it. But to perceive the entirety of a work of architecture requires you to constantly reposition your body (ie walk around). With architecture, the "burden of movement" is shifted from the work itself to the observer. A similar shift occurs when comparing sculpture to painting (sculpture is more architectural, while painting is more musical, regarding the physical activity each requires of its observer).

Insofar as dancing is a kind of excess perception of music (as in, it goes beyond the minimum requirement of sitting and listening), I think that Wendell is accurate in saying that Suciu dances to frozen music. As skateboarding, by analogy, is a kind of excess in relation to the bare minimum of bodily repositioning (ie walking) that is needed to assist the primary mode of perceiving architecture (ie vision).

So in my opinion, I think wendell is in fact pointing something out.

Dancing and skateboarding are both an elaboration on the basic perception of an artistic composition, however the faculty of perception that each addresses is different: hearing and vision.

Post by: Deputy Wendell on October 28, 2019, 09:59:02 AM
dogs (especially my dear friend HyperBeam), i’m a humble adjunct “English” professor teaching three different classes at two different universities this semester (the most i’ve taught in one semester up to this point), who is two chapters into his dissertation, and one step away from being overwhelmed with my workload right now--i come in here and comment when I can, and as much as I’d like to really unpack that quote, the time’s generally not there...but i have a bit of time right now, so...

...first, i like where Dan is headed, which is where i gestured with that last idea above, but first, again:

“I call architecture frozen music”

to me, this is about the very nature, use, importance of architecture and the built environment in human lives--and i think despite how right Goethe gets it here, he could not possibly have foreseen how absolutely skateboarders and skateboarding confirm this perspective of our built environment.

music is not something one generally passively engages and experiences, but is meant to evoke physical (dancing, skanking, crying, etc.) and emotional responses (aggression, sadness, elation, etc.)...in this sense, neither is architecture, and in our own way as skaters, we prove this with how we engage and redefine architecture and the spaces it creates--and part of my point, was that Mark Suciu is especially creative and visionary with regards to not only architectural structures and objects, but the interstitial spaces that connect them (or that Suciu’s skating establishes connections between, because dude sees lines where others don’t)...

...like the other perspective i provided above, “human situations” are what most important/useful architecture should be designed in response to, not idealized spaces meant to be merely passively observed, consumed, and/or passed through--street skating is an example of this in ways and degrees that architects don’t even foresee, right? like when Edmund Bacon (at 92 years-old) skated through Love Park (with some assistance of course) as protest against the bans trying to get arrested and everything--I forget the exact quote, but he basically said at one point that the ways skaters use/redefine/engage his architecture and the spaces it creates is the best compliment his planning and work has received...

...and to me--to get back to that poor, vulnerable Goethe quote--the way we do this, is not by treating his architecture like static objects and structure, but by treating it like music...or something like that...

Thanks Wendell. I think you can see by what I said that we differ in that my position is that perceiving music is inherently passive, while perceiving architecture is inherently active. (One has to put forth a greater physical effort to do the latter). Dancing is then a supplement of activity to the passivity of listening. But even architecture, which inherently requires activity, can still receive a supplement of activity, which implies its musicality.

What book is this quote from? Was never into Goethe.

Not Suciu-related,

The way I personally interpret the Goethe quote (without context) is that the common denominator between architecture and music is how both are human expression and as such, manifest themselves in forms that are inherently bound to the context of their production - the current politics, social norms, reactions and counter-reactions etc. Except one can encapsulate music into records, or experience it live, or play it, but as a progressive composition that is based on manipulating sounds through time, by definition there is no real possibility to catch a particular moment - by the time you've heard it it's gone and onto the next and so on. Architecture is more tangible and has a longer shelf life, its apparent decay isn't nearly as imminent and therefore it may be more of a block of a time capsule as opposed to a split on the FCP7 timeline. The mark is fixed for longer whereas no matter how hard one tries to catch it, music just flows. That's probably a pretty naive take.

I think that's some language gymnastics right there that leaves out all the interesting specifics. Also: Why do you want such a strict division between body and mind, between moving and being passive? Why all these categories?

You can consume music very actively, too: You can concentrate on the beat, on the harmony or the musical ideas you can dance to it in your mind, you can let it influence the way you perceive your surroundings. Listening to music does not have to be passive at all. Some songs you can listen to hundreds of times and still discover new patterns. Also when you play music it is very active. It is impossible to play the same song twice and in a way a jazz standart resembles a statue in that you can approach it from a thousand angles. There are also endless ways of creating architecture I would imagine. Some of which might be close some forms of producing music. You need to be concrete with comparisons or you're just stating generalities that do not mean much.

the only way to "perceive music" is to measure it upon how miserable it makes your own crummy existence feel

I know I'm risking a heavy kooking here, but after a month of watching Verso nearly every day and typing words into a computer and then erasing them and trying again, I wrote a blog about it:
https://warmupzone.wordpress.com/2019/11/02/mark-suciu-verso-and-the-chiasmus-vs-the-blubba/

The short version: after I shoehorn in references of all stuff the gleaned from this thread (the Jenkem article, the artist's statement at the Atlas premiere, the website that diagrams the mirror tricks, Mark's scolding regarding mentioning Verso during his hype of Brandon Nguyen's part, etc), I basically think that the middle New York section is by far the best portion of the part and it's a shame the whole "chiasmus" thing got all the attention.
I also weakly try to use the Metric red pill / blue pill analogy.

Is it my "language gymnastics" or is your reading comprehension lacking something?

I made no distinction between mind and body (in fact the word "mind" doesn't even appear in my paragraph). Nor is mind/body a substitute distinction for "moving/being passive." In the context of what I'm saying, you should be able to see that I'm not using activity/passivity to describe mental activity. I do make a distinction between visual and aural modes of perception, and the ways in which the body itself is either more active or more sedentary in deploying the organs of these senses (ie eyes and ears).

As for "concrete comparisons," will you please tell me where the comparisons made between painting/sculpture, dancing/skating, seeing/hearing are insufficiently concrete? Or where there is a surplus of generality?

nice. Even though it is kind of dumb and obvious, of course you need to walk arround and look to experience architecture (visual) and if you want you can lie on the couch and zone out on some music (aural). Let me ask you this, though: Could a blind man not also experience architecture, by walking arround a building and experiencing distance and touching surfaces?

Why do you feel you need to compare the reception of architecture to the reception of music? I don't see what you are trying to accomplish. Do you want to elevate the art of architecture, by stating it is more demanding to perceive it (properly), because you need to walk arround to see the thing from different sides? Also, isn't simply listening to recorded music, kind of like watching a movie of a building, or walking arround the digital replica of a house on a computer? Shouldn't you compare experiencing a concert to experiencing architecture?

I think there are intersting ways to compare architecture to music, but comparing the very generalized reception of the things (to me) is kind of pointless.

got it...and no on the German literature, I just came across that quote at one point years back, and couldn't stop thinking about it. and i'm pretty disillusioned with my field/department right now myself, so i agree in many ways--academia does fucking suck...

...but not completely. i'm just over the Humanities right now...everything i work on is colored by the growing understanding of the fact that i'm much more of an urban/suburban historian, than a cultural theorist, although if all of the espousals of "interdisciplinarity" in the humanities (and on my dissertation committee--a whole other shit-show that i'll spare you) were sincere, that wouldn't be a problem.

and since a couple of people asked, to put it very broadly and clumsily, my dissertation is basically a cultural history of the single-family house and the lot on which it stands, and one of the places my whole line of inquiry began, was in the following words of William J. Levitt (the man behind Levittown NY):

"No man who owns his own house and lot can be a Communist. He has too much to do."

No, he could not.

Why do you feel you need to compare the reception of architecture to the reception of music? I don't see what you are trying to accomplish.

I felt the need because I was trying to show a way in which the metaphor "architecture=frozen music" can be an intelligible statement.

Do you want to elevate the art of architecture, by stating it is more demanding to perceive it (properly), because you need to walk arround to see the thing from different sides?

No. I have no horse in the race concerning which of the two arts requires a finer palate for reception. The passion and genius with which you and that other guy listen to music is unharmed by my argument. Don't worry.

I think there are intersting ways to compare architecture to music, but comparing the very generalized reception of the things (to me) is kind of pointless.

Sure. Would you mind sharing what some of these ways are?

If what I've written is pointless to you, so be it. But it's also clear to me that you didn't take the time to read what I had written with much care or attention.

Also your comment about the virtual experience of music and/or architecture is irrelevant to me. Virtual experiences are rather their own category of aesthetic object, which is my entire point: there are limits to comparison between different aesthetic objects, which is why the metaphor "architecture=frozen music" required our elaboration in the first place.

I just watched Verso again for the hundredth time the other day. I think I accept that Suicu is otherworldly good and take this part for granted.

Like, 'oh sure he's amazing. Now let me watch someone half as good do much less imaginative tricks and talk about their clothes.'

Verso is great to watch as of it was VHS. Pause, slo-mo, rewind.

I try and watch it in random 3 minute segments so that my focus is different each time. Last time I tried 3:14-6:14
