ehh. rowley's a legend etc etc, but much the same from him. felt like that was an ode to his propellar part or something. the ditch/bank footage is just tired. enjoyed the few street tricks he had. pedro & ronnie had some hairball shit,  look's like ronnie is 100 percent after that broken knee cap.

I really want to dog on Pedro for Red Bull and airpods, but holy back noseblunt.

Beyond that, I'm looking forward to revisting this once every six months when it pops up into my YouTube feed.

Rowley crushed it are you kidding? Dude is over 40 and literally still risks his life for skating. I don’t even give a shit about ditch skating but you’re tripping if you can’t get behind him.

Chameleons track was ace.

Also dope that Ben has a guest trick. Pretty sure Nike wouldn’t let someone wearing Vans in one of their videos regardless of circumstances so props to Vans.

Agree 100% with this. There’s no way any of us are taking slams like that in our 40s.

Infinite respect to Rowley for what he’s done and for still pushing himself but I agree that I’m bored of seeing him noseblunt ditches. A few great tricks in there though. The popshuv over the wall and the impossible fifty stood out to me.

Pedro is a maniac but he doesn’t really do it for me.

Ronnie has great style and keeps tranny skating interesting. His part was amazing.

Imagine not backing Rowley of all people, jesus.  There aren't many parts out now better than his part in Sorry.  In 2002.  Dude rules.

not a lot of respect for one of the heaviest dudes of all time.  Also, he's old and still putting it down.  Sit on your "ehh's" and "etc etc."

What was up with the editing in Rowley's part? Showing him attempt two completely different tricks to the ones he landed. Thought that was very odd.

Good eye. Either he ended up putting the sign there so he could actually do it (and this is a previous attempt), or they photoshopped it out to make it look like he did it on raw fence. Either way I'd say that's taking it a bit too far.

I feel like they were going for a Sorry vibe with the music for Rowley, but the skating didn't really have the same energy.

I don't think he deserves it, to be honest.

I saw Rowley at a grocery store in Los Angeles awhile back. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.

He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

Sick vid, but yeah he's a weirdo.

Wasn't Elijah supposed to have a full part in this years Vans project (which appears to be this) to coincide with his shoe coming out this year (which dropped earlier this year). I guess he has been too injured to stack the footage required. Hopefully, he has something else on the way.

Considering all the dudes Rowley used to skate with have pretty much stopped/slowed down it's still cool to see him getting his and slamming. I enjoyed this video, three gnarly dudes.  Pedro is fucked, Ronnie is classic and Rowley is forever.

that's because that same grocery bagging friend told me Koston was planning on coming over for dinner and last time my mom attempted to serve pasta with just light sauce, Koston kicked over the dining room table, jumped on the heirloom chandelier, and exclaimed "FUCK YOUR FACE!" my family has been of light sauce and on hearty Ragu ever since

Post by: Coastal Fever on August 12, 2019, 01:22:26 PM
The Good - Rowley really going for it and getting some street tricks.  Pedro doing ridiculous video game shit.  Ronnie killing it harder than ever after such a brutal injury that would make most quit skating altogether.

The Bad - Countless noseslides in ditches, followed by two parts filmed almost entirely in skateparks.  For some reason I thought it was going to be Pedro Delfino in this, and I was pretty disappointed when I realized my mistake.

The Ugly - Ronnie’s song was one of the lamest covers I’ve ever heard, and it was still the best song in the video.  You can dedicate a video to Jake (RIP) without using the shitty music he was into.

When you get to a certain age, low impact is your only option. I was excited to see the part and it seems like he's doing his best and beyond.

Is Jeremy Klein to blame? It seems like he had entire sections made up of ditch skating. I always enjoyed them as well.

I’ve been to slab city and that thing is no fucking joke. Also, those tricks at gates of hell and the rest of the shit he’s done there is insane.

Slap is an excellent daily reminder that it is so easy to find something to bitch about. I include myself in the set of everybody, of course. Doesn't change the fact that if you bitch all day long, then you were probably the bitch all along.

Geoff was awesome. Ronnie blew my fucking brains out. Lived the song, unbelievable skating. I'd buy the dvd of this video, no question.

I think it's ironic how some here are complaining about Rowley doing low impact stuff in his 40's when he was the first to hit some of the biggest spots in skating (Staple Center, that giant 20 stair he boardslid in Sorry, and the ollie down the 18 in the same part). I think Rowley has earned the right to skate smaller stuff (even though you could probably get more fucked up skating some of those banks).

Anyways, I thought Rowley killed it with great style, along with Pedro and Ronnie.

If the theme was a dedication to Phelps, sort of surprising the video didn't have more TNT footage considering he was in a band with him, was a SOTY and reps SF.

Exactly. If Reynolds got the nod of approval to skate low impact, why not Rowley? Not that any of that shit was low impact or anything, but I’d probably enjoy watching 5 minutes of Rowley skating a curb more than anything any of today’s robots put out.

It's insane to see Rowley doing what he's doing at 40. It does seem to repetitive occasionally but it's all pretty gnarly stuff.

Pedro and Ronnie did a good job respectively. I think this is the first part I've seen from Pedro (may be drawing a blank) but, he left a good impression.

I liked the board slide on the bridge, when I drive by bridges I always check the rails because of Rowley. In my mind I always have a moment of excitement thinking this might be the one he hit, but I am Canadian so that is highly improbable. Also liked the magic carpet fs flip slam / scream. Those are brutal.

I don't know if you're helping prove our point or not. But ya that's my issue, Haven't really had any interest in watching rowley skate for years now, Not taking anything away from what he's done of course like I said previously his sorry part is one of the best ever. which is why I have no interest in watching him come through and milk it every 3 or 4 years to coincide with some new shoe or whatever the fuck it is. And its funny people keep mentioning reynolds like his low impact skating isn't legit ledge and manny lines with flip tricks, I'd like to see Rowley ollie up a 3 stair in 2019, even a fucking fakie flip in a line would be nice.

I could literally go through each trick he did and explain why it's weak. full disclosure though I will say I was surprised at the half cab heel blunt thing, Not because its a good looking trick(because let's be honest if anyone else did that it would be gross)but because it was probably hard for him.

I've watched it twice now. Definitely appreciated it more on the second viewing.

Rowley still has some serious skills on a board. Kind of weird that a lot of stuff felt like revisiting Propeller. Same spots, similar high bridge grind etc but ultimately I'm a fan. Really dug a couple of noseslide pop overs he did (one to straight and one nollie bs 180 out).
Impossible 50 was very stylish.
Pop shuv out of the skate park in London (?) made me think of his pop shuv down Santa Monica triple set. Underrated trick of his.
Song was sick.

Pedro kills it so hard. I'd love to be able to skate this fearlessly.
Cant believe no one has bought up his second last trick- pop shuv/big spin wall jam.
Backside nose pick on the fence was badass too.

Haven't watched much of Ronnie before but he's pretty dope. Good style. Blunt to fakie on the fence was mental.

Overall this is a great format for Vans. Much easier than sitting through full parts from 20+ guys. 15 min vids are the new full length. Could of done with a team montage I guess but I ain't mad.

I'm still laughing at the idea that Thrasher Skate Rock is somehow mandatory to worship. I've never even heard one of those albums but from my experience with Thrasher videos I'd assume it's a compilation of the worst punk rock music in the country.

Kalis would be down, stevie doesnt deserve to be in skateboarding hes a lame and literally cannot drop in on a quarterpipe of any size. He admitted it when he opened a shop with a mini ramp across the street from our local of 20 years...
[close]
Everything about this is some gatekeeping ass, intentionally exclusionary shit. Stop while you're ahead.

Also: the irony in deriding skating at a skatepark, but your qualifier for a "true" skateboarder is dropping in on a quarterpipe? Okay.
[close]

I'm still laughing at the idea that Thrasher Skate Rock is somehow mandatory to worship. I've never even heard one of those albums but from my experience with Thrasher videos I'd assume it's a compilation of the worst punk rock music in the country. 
They're from the 80s. Bad punk hadnt happened yet. And would you seriously turn someone pro who couldnt drop in on an x factor ramp? Ill stoo but if youre really into stevie and kalis why are you going to watch this vans video then sit here and complain about it? I didnt watch the dgk video then start in on them, just knew ahead of time i wasnt gonna fuck with it

Rowley's whole part in Chichagof was mini-ramp skating so you guys can calm the fuck down on the low impact hating. That shit came out 15 years ago.

I don't know if you're helping prove our point or not. But ya that's my issue, Haven't really had any interest in watching rowley skate for years now, Not taking anything away from what he's done of course like I said previously his sorry part is one of the best ever. which is why I have no interest in watching him come through and milk it every 3 or 4 years to coincide with some new shoe or whatever the fuck it is. And its funny people keep mentioning reynolds like his low impact skating isn't legit ledge and manny lines with flip tricks, I'd like to see Rowley ollie up a 3 stair in 2019, even a fucking fakie flip in a line would be nice.

I could literally go through each trick he did and explain why it's weak. full disclosure though I will say I was surprised at the half cab heel blunt thing, Not because its a good looking trick(because let's be honest if anyone else did that it would be gross)but because it was probably hard for him.
[close]

Milking it? Dude ate SO much shit for this part. Ollie up a 3 stair? He backside flipped up a wall. What video did you watch?
haha just cause he ate "so" much shit doesn't mean he's not milking it. And he backside flipped up a wall out of a snowboard sized kicker so relax, Also a wall that a lot of other tricks have already been done on.

So much to digest!

Ok, first - yes, there was already plenty of crappy music in the 80's and I'm sure Skate Rock was full of it.

What the hell is an X Factor ramp?! I love this alternate reality where dropping in on said ramp is the measuring stick of a real pro.

Lastly - it may be hard to believe, but some people actually like more than one distinct style of skateboarding, and will watch a Vans video AND a DGK video. Crazy, huh? Even crazier, apparently people can express their own opinions without losing their membership to 'real' skateboarding.

Are all the 'real' skaters hanging out at the X Factor ramp and listening to Skate Rock?

Do you actually skate? Have you skated a step up before? are you aware of the low impact and minimal risk? Whats happens on an unsuccessful backside flip on this "huge" obstacle? absolutely nothing. You're making it sound like its so gnarly like he's not making it up easily every try and just waiting for one to be under his feet and roll away.

I’ve seen dudes who can skate 20 stair handrails and trey flip down 10+ Who can drop in and carve, but can barely axle stall or rock to fakie. This really wouldn’t surprise me. It’s just surprising he can’t even drop in and kick turn. Even the most insane street skaters who can’t even touch tranny can at least drop in.

First of all, of all things you could learn how to drop in on, why would you do it on an X factor kicker?

Second of all, those things are mean to launch off of, not drop down on.

Third, don’t underestimates those fucking things. Once the Velcro wears off those things slide around like a motherfucker. It would be even more embarrassing saying you broke your leg from dropping in because the ramp slid then just saying you can’t drop in.

Beagle understands supply and demand.

I'm not digging through this whole thread, but has it occurred to anyone that maybe there are so many "unimpressive" tricks in Rowley's part because he got laid the fuck out and had to use whatever throwaway he'd stacked to fill the part?

beagle used to buy racks of beer before starting work on the weekends. would pick people up from the bars around 2 and sell them cases for like 3 times the price. boss shit.

Reminds me back in my drinking days when I had a $10 bottle of wine with me at 1 am waiting for the bus, and a drunk couple came up to me and offered me $20 then $30 for it. A lightbulb went off in my head. Never did anything about it though.

Rowley's part was great; he's still jumping up on them big walls, it's amazing.

Congrats on reaching Pal status Euro TM!

Imagine you're skating a ditch, getting a bit hungry so you order some spicy thai and the Uber eats driver is Beagle who is down to film some tricks.

Rowley part was sick. Footage of old dudes I grew up on still ripping will always get me more stoked than any new guy part could. Exactly what I needed to see before skating today. Went out and filmed a clip on a bank today and skated a little faster.

Haha this sounds like a response from some kind of A.I built solely to fit in on the slap message boards.

Dudes are shitting on rowley because to them skating big shit is stair sets and handrails, yet I’m pretty sure I’d rather try a lot more rails and stair sets over the ditches and fly outs in here. all You need to know is we have morons on slap as per usual, that’s about it.

There's just a popular opinion that skateboarding is a cow and Geoff's milking it. Despite his years of shredding he is undeserving of taking things different,or low impact according to some.

I loved the part,not his best  but at least he is still trying to make it work with what he has got

If any of you even took one of Rowley's slams from back in the day you wouldn't be skating at all let alone skating any of the ditch spots in this video post 40 years old. I feel sorry for people who don't get stoked on anything thats not Johnny Candoeverything doing the craziest tricks in the newest zoom-in-on-everyone's-face generic video.

Ok I've posted in here way too many times, I'll make this my last. But this is what I don't understand, Why do you guys assume that because I don't like a new rowley part I only fuck with like Zion and that french back 3 kickflip guy (or whoever Johnny candoeverything is trying to refer to) When in reality I like to think I'm like everyone else with a brain and enjoy wknd or atlantic drift videos, Maybe some new Jake Johnson or Danny Brady for example.

And then you guys go off with ridiculous confidence that everyone is a moron, or some young dumb kid. When I think what might be worse than all of it are the obviously young kids who post on here just enough to pretend they're like an open-minded 30+ skater and think andrew allen is the best of all time strictly to fit it.

and give replies like this..

Just because you don't fit into the generalization of a dumb kid who hates seasoned skaters' parts doesnt mean the generalization exists for no reason. There's plenty of people that hate Rowley's current output and love the most generic, "look pissed and serious before doing a pretty safe trick that doesn't warrant the dramatics." Good on you for having good taste. Sorry my stereotype hit you wrong.

I always think of his session on that 9 stair rail in Whittier in Sorry. He does a big spin front board, 360 flip lip, 270 lip, then cab front board to regs and to fakie. It was such an epic firing off of tricks at the time but was like a harbinger of the Nyjah era of contest skating. Those same tricks down practically that same rail in the big section could’ve won almost any contest from like 2007-2017.

just noticed they photo shopped the sign off the fence for the cover shot but its in the footage

Yo either you are Roger Bagley, or we have 100% proof that he lurks SLAP because nobody else is noticing that.

Is there anyone else Rowley's age still pushing themselves physically at that level?

Jamie Thomas is a little older and he still tries to go for it, we’ll see in the Zero video soon. Reynolds of course although he’s 41.

Its pretty obvious if you see the mag after the part, and Boil the Ocean pointed it out in his latest post.

Rowley crushed it are you kidding? Dude is over 40 and literally still risks his life for skating. I don’t even give a shit about ditch skating but you’re tripping if you can’t get behind him.

Chameleons track was ace.

Agree 100% with this. There’s no way any of us are taking slams like that in our 40s.

just gotta bump this
