Lots of work put into this one.  Jeezus Brand Turners S/w hard flip set it off perfect.  Marshalls, JP and Lawyers last tricks were craze. Surrey is extremely graceful on the board.  Tiago lopes probably gained some new fans and definitely shut down the PB rock spot.  Wes and Alexis keeping up the steady pace the last few years. 

No complaints with the exception of the missing Javier Sarmiento part.

Too exhausted from the slam section so had to pause this after a few minutes, but I did watch the Sw Hardflip. It’s surreal to see a proper 90s execution of this trick with that much airtime. And the catch was so proper! There was a hint of old skater steez which made it even more awesome.

The mafia always comes through. Great video!

Psyched for Turner. Legend.

Surrey and Palmore got me hyped!

New kid is fun to watch and Willms is on another level.

Alexis is one of my favorites. Definite SOTY contender.

Everyone went hard, no doubt.

But that sw hf was on another level. That would have been an ender ender in the FTD video back then. And in the year 2020, at this age. I dont even have words for this.

as someone else said, tyler surrey is criminally underrated. he's never put out a weak part. Also i loved alex's tailslide to sw crook. two great ones in the same week (john shanahan)
also, i think when slap was hating on sw front 180's they were thinking of them looking like the one at the 5 minute mark hahaha

Ha just noticed the SLAP Pals sticker on the 2nd step of Wallenberg.

Looks like DC found a replacement for TFunk with that new kid. Short and scrappy ripper with shaggy hair who you can't tell if they're 15 or 22.

Sk8Mafia to me embodies that family vibe that Baker tries to say they are. It's like they all stayed in that mentality of being 22 in a skatehouse, they've passed the age of doing hijinks and being a menace but still out on the streets daily.

I wish Alexis had killed it this hard next year because he deserves a SOTY but it's Mason's year.

Also BT switch hardflip wallenburg is mindblowing

These. Skatemafia's output is insane. They just put out whatever they've got every 4-6 months or whatever. I can't believe Promo came out this year too.  They just don't stop.

I'm guessing here, but I think part of it is that it's truly a local board brand. Most board brands have dudes spread out across California at least, if not split between coasts. Almost everyone on SK8Mafia is in SD, unless i'm mistaken. So they can truly just get the whole crew together every weekend or whatever and stack. It's beautiful.

Toby was a regular at the indoor park I worked at in Vista when he was little. Always signed up for the skate camps. Would never have expected him to go to Sk8Mafia - he didn't skate anything but the bowl back then.

Sk8mafia videos are awesome for the skating and genuine homie vibes but they have to have some of the worst music choices ever.


Alexis has had an incredible year and should be right up in the conversation with everyone else this year for SOTY.

I love Sk8Mafia, but I agree on the music. I figure Dan probably makes a lot of the music choices. They use a lot of weird remixes or just music that doesn't quite fit, like Slayer in the intro. I'm not complaining though, always stoked on their videos regardless. Only a couple strange music choices in this one.

I get we're people come from this, but at the same time I appreciate the fact they like to mix things up.

Its Sk8Mafia and most skateboarders have a broad range music selections that crew will vibe on depending on the session or mood, I appreciate that they're not another company that bases their whole image of a set genre of music

I know not everyone will agree or appreciated it, but its better to be honest

Got damn they always come through.

Best sw hardflip ever.

Alex Willms' style is like a mix of Daniel Haney, Ben Gilley and John Motta.

Tyler Surrey is absurdly good.

Stephen Lawyers change of pants has also gone hand in hand with a slightly less gross trick selection, or is that a trick of the light?

Wes' casual hardflip wallride is insane.

I love the fact that they always have a proper friends section.

It's from an old rocafella mixtape track from like 2003 or 2004. It's just a sped up sample, no autotune. Kanye actually made the beat.

Some amazing stuff. But pretty disjointed having legends like Turner and Kremer mixed in with Lopes‘ freestyle routine and Heath’s Ronson Lambert impression. At least Lawyer is more tolerable after his pant and trick change-up. He’s only at Tactical Manual levels of San Diego shittiness now.

What's wrong with that? It was a fun choice. I'd rather have some interesting and fun choices of music in skate video parts than the same generic stoner rock that usually is paired with Thrasher parts.

Video was nuts btw. I know he's not popular on Slap but I thought Tiago Lopes really stepped up.  Alexis part was nuts as usual. Kremer, Heath, Surry, etc all did their thing.

Great stuff as usual.

I don't disagree with people's comments on Sk8mafia's music selection, but I also don't want them to change a thing. They always have some sort of dorky music thrown in with the west coast hiphop, but it's sort of endearing to me.

With their videos I know I'm going to get an onslaught of footage with no gimmicks or cool-guyism.

They're the epitome of skate rats doing their own thing, and I really appreciate that in this world of meticulously manicured images/personas.

Finally had time to watch the entire video. One of the best of 2020
Brandon Turner sequence perfect with feel good vibes.
Excited to see more of Toby Ryan in the future, so young.
Jaime Palamore nice mellow part, good to stick him in the beginning.
Marshall Heath does the same trick however really smooth.
Wrote about Alex Willms earlier in thread, future looks bright.
Longest friends section ever. Happy to see Provost, Figgy, & Milton sequence @ 25:26-26:00
Stephen Lawyer just having fun, goofy song fit with goofy guy.
Been sleeping on Tyler Surrey, need to watch more clips.
Tiago Lopes destroyed the rock. Also beautiful beach shot @ 35:47
Wes Kremer then Alexis Ramirez best way to end the video. The Kings
End credits very thorough especially thank you section. Happy to see The Muska & Penny on the list.

Thank You sk8mafia!
