Dang how old is some of this footage? There is a vintage LOVE Park clip tossed in at the 2:45 mark.

Was that the first FS Suciu grind on a handrail?

Agreed. I expected 4 minutes of credits or to want it to end early, but no, that was truly exceptional.

Absolutely incredible on all fronts.

Damn, long time since I heard that name. When my folks lived in Tucson I was at the park one day and ran into Robin - had no idea he had moved there. Skated with him on the next couple of visits and then lost track of him. Hope he's doing well wherever he is.

Title: Re: [Untitled] 005: Joey O'brien
Post by: funeral_tuxedo on June 25, 2021, 06:12:26 PM
Holy rolly polly that was so sick. I only learned of this dude fairly recently after watching his other Chris Mulhern sovereign sect video (which is also impressive)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIFkrLYrSnw

So many cool aspects to this video.
1. Like several others already mentioned I was expecting a 2-3 minute part and then lots of credits and b-sides. To put out a nine minute part is really something else.
2. The way he goes about trick and spot selection -like ollieing up onto that slanted, narrow rail/ledge thing and doing a bigspin up there. He makes rough east coast spots look fluid as well as highly cinematic.
3. I really like Mulhearn's editing style as a more subtle AWS vibe. At first I was kind of disappointed to hear that Philip Glass song since Benny Maglinao already used it in an incredibly beautiful Nike/Levis Omar ad, but it also worked really well in this edit too.
4. His style areminds me of an early 2000s skater if that makes any sense? He's just really smooth and surefooted with excellent finesse and pop. His backside 180 flips should be in the 180 flip skate conversation, I think. Also, anytime I see a line that has both a fs 360 and a 360 flip one after the other I get sparked (Jason Lee, Bobby Worrest are two).
5. Towards the end I kept thinking "ok thats a real nice ender" and then he kept going and going. He had like 12 enders.

Advertising works and I'm going to go order an Alien abduction teeshirt now. I hope Adidas puts him fully on the team.

Credit where credit is due. That was the shit.

Hard to compare it to the Yuto part, but it’s up there.

More akin to a rawer, less contrived Suciu.

Kickflip through the sign was deadly.

Best style and trick selection. Really one of my favorites right now.

This was filmed and put together really great as well. I loved the use of that Phillip Glass piece.

I’d be pissed if this guy’s ever at Muni when I go. I wouldn’t even be able to skate I’d just watch him the whole time.

pretty sure the song is meant to be a specific shout out to alien without actually having any sort of alien reference throughtout the entire video. it was definintely originally from PHOTOSYNTHESIS
the only thing referencing alien is the boards as far as i could tell
has a couple clips in there with REAL shirt on etc.

this part is like the PJ LADD WHL of PHILLY

Bump because this is insane.

I didn't watch it because I thought it would be a 3-minute part with second angles and b-roll afterwards.

And I am so stoked to be wrong about that. Sickest part so far this year. Alien should turn him pro ASAP.

My fave clips were the bs 5-0 into the handicapped wall and the kickflip wallride afterwards.

It's definitely some aspect of marketability, because his old sabotage footage was great but like you said, not much attention there.  Shit I don't even think Suciu's Sabotage part really got as much recognition compared to his others.

I generally agree this is the best part of the year, but lemme play devil's advocate:

Would it be better if edited down to 7 minutes or so? 5 minutes? It definitely was a choice to go ahead and have 9 minutes of high-quality footage (and it's amazing they were able to do so), but as the editor i would've agonized over wanting to make it shorter, out of wanting the best tricks to pop a bit more, and some clips feel a little superfluous

To me it’s the binge watch a tv series vs one episode a week debate.   I’d prefer smaller segments so my attention doesn’t wane through the middle bit and I get three parts to build up anticipation, yadda yadda.   I do have ADHD, but also modern skate media has altered my endurance levels

Question still remains, what would one cut from this?

I get the modern attention span aspect but I think there’s an argument to be made for not breaking up this footage. The time span on these clips is at least 2017-2021 with three different board sponsors, all the while the dude dropped multiple parts between so it’s not like he was slacking. This was a dedicated project solely filmed by Mulhern that had a very specific vision....and they killed it.

Someone made a comment in the Verso thread about cutting the first song. I thought hell no, watched it, and had to admit there was some truth to it. In this case, however, I cannot even think of single tricks to be left out. Will be interesting to see how it ages for me, but so far I feel it’s just perfect.

Still part of the year for me, and up there with Tom Knox's Atlantic Drift and Verso as my favorite part of the last couple years. Might be my favorite out of nowhere part of a guy with a small level of fame but should blow up since Cross Continetnal. Mulhern came through on the edit too, and I've been a fan of his since This Time Tomorrow (especially Lucien and Rory's parts).

I'm bad at remembering shit, but has anyone else done a frontside Suciu grind down a rail?

I figured it was worth mentioning here, I always comment on posts from companies (as much as I can remember to) when they post something in regards to pro models and they have a rider I wish they’d turn pro already. I’ve commented a few times in regards to Joey O’Brien, most recently a day or so ago on an Alien Instagram  post. They responded with “October.” So, doesn’t look like we’ll have to wait too long to support this dude properly.

I talked to him via Instagram the other day. His board is in the works, he skates an 8 but said he thinks it’ll also be available in 8.25. I asked because I normally skate an 8.3 but I’ll make the 8.25 work so I can support him. I think his board was supposed to drop in October but I guess it got pushed back a little.

Him or Chima are def my favorites for SOTY. This was the part of the year. Gave me a Cross-Continental vibes, where even if he doesn't win SOTY or whatever, in 5 to 10 years it will be the most remembered part from this year.

Fuck I hope I didn’t just spoil all the best tricks in his upcoming part for myself by watching that insta clip.  Seems to be customary these days.  Also find it kinda funny that he keeps doing switch basics (fs 5-0, fs lip) on the same rail Blake Carpenter ss flip bs tailed.

Now that I’ve got that whining out of my system, I should add that his pro status is well deserved and I can’t wait to see this new part.

I had similar thoughts about the ender section in [Untitled] 005. It was positioned as this final rail destruction but for some pros those are contests tricks these days. I’d have appreciated to see it end on a long line or more interesting spot. Nevertheless, love the part to bits and hope another one is around the corner.

I mean, that was literally the last trick in a Nike full-length, it's insane but it's an outlier in the general caliber of stuff that's been done there. compared to most of the other tricks that have been done on that rail, Joey's stuff is really fucking nuts. maybe I'm forgetting some stuff, but most of what I've seen on that rail has been a basic 50-50 or something like that at the end of a line.

Just read the whole thread. Thanks to everyone for the continuous bumping - totally worth it!

What an incredible part! I was initially intimidated by the 10 minute run time, but this was a true breeze to watch. It was over in a jif and left me stunned. The pacing was perfect. Mulhern is a champ on that front!

The flick and speed on his backside bigspin flip was phenomenal; it’s not a trick I like to see, but he did it just right. He reminded me of Dan Pensyl at times. Must be the working man burly aesthetic.


Hoping only the best for Joey going forward.

Skaters like Joey makes everything look easy. Rough Cuts are so good for showing how difficult skating is at this level.

They're also good for non / new skaters to appreciate skating at this level and who don't really understand what body and board are doing in the speed of final edits....

best skater

one of my favorite things about his skating is that it feels really relatable. his skating looks like he's trying his fucking ass off at all times, it doesn't look like it comes super easily to him (not that there's anything wrong with that, we all love watching dudes who look like they were born on a skateboard too). it's just cool to see someone who's clearly just a fucking skate rat and skated every single day and pushed himself to where he is now, and it's even more impressive knowing he's been working full-time simultaneously.

the battles on the switch flip and switch front heel on that gap to steep short bank thing at a playground are gnarly af. I remember Mulhern saying in an interview that those were the tricks that took the longest and were the hardest battles in the part, and you can definitely tell why. Thing seems impossible to skate lol

def gonna watch this a million times. hope to see more from Joey soon
