I’ll admit I wasn’t always a fan but he’s grown on me recently.

haven't watched this yet but i hope he skates to "All She Wants to Do is Dance" by Don Henley
-
damn, first trick is incredible.
-
Well god damn. That was heavy.
I like the way he’s pushed manual tricks in a new direction personally. Nosemanual nollie was nuts
-
Manual God.
-
Nollie backside flip over a bench is just insane.
-
heavy stuff, big pop, crazy manuals
Bummed on the song

Power tech.

worst song on a part of all time and the shoe changing was very distracting. i would have just left those clips with lakais out for another vid. his clothes got significantly worse in the lakai clips too
-
jesus that was insane - i wouldn’t be mad at all if he won soty, dude has been on a tear for quite some time now.
it’s also pretty wild to think that one of today’s best manual skaters has some of the highest pop as well.
-
Damn... manny combos and heavy shit galore. Nice. Idk why but I've never really paid attention to this dude much either, but this was dope.

It's a midi-file pink panther theme arrangement so it was that level of corny at least. Nice guess
-
I don’t watch every new part that comes out, but that part had a lot of really good manual tricks, which I feel have fallen somewhat out of favour in the last little while. My memory isn’t that great but I seem to remember seeing more in videos of the 00’s.
Some questionable filming in that part, but overall pretty solid. He’s got some serious power and board control.

Song so bad it overshadows the amazing skating.

Wow, lots of good stuff in that part.
Since a long time I wasn’t that impressed
by manual tricks + plus the Pop,the Switch heel,
Switch tre - he got me.
-
Song so bad it overshadows the amazing skating.
You know what, I don't agree, but I do agree that the song sucked.
He's so good, and the song was so bad, that it was constant struggle in my mind to appreciate the tricks since I was laughing at how bad the song was. But I still loved the skating.
Hey, Bobaj or whoever chose the song - what are you doing, picking this shit that sounds like it was played in some run-down lounge in a Wichita hotel back in the 1980s? Do you know how good this footage is? Do you know how to give it the respect it deserves? Jeez Louise. Don't even tell me, "Well Dilo picked the song." Then you should've told him it won't work, haha. But whatever. The ender was amazing, wanted to see the footy since the photo.
-
probably getting fashion advise from Tj Rogers.
Insane part and skater. Saw John Dilo once in person, skating Cherry, amazing as well.

Agreed it looked almost spring loaded, so sick

Fun fact: There actually is no end to that song. The band just stops playing when they are sick of hearing it themselves.
-
how the hell does he drop down so high to manual without snapping the tail off? looks like he gets like 90 percent of the foot onto the bolts and just mannys completely in the pocket. i remember i tried to do this off like a 4 set and i broke the tail clean off ;D
-
Have you guys not heard of The Pink Panther?
-

Crazy skills on display, MACBA tricks are mindblowing.
I thought the song was gonna play for 10 seconds as an intro, 5 minutess of that is absurd.
-
Have you guys not heard of The Pink Panther?
Right??
-
he's one the of the best in the biz right now, would be stoked to see him take SOTY this year if it doesn't go to Mark
his ability to nollie up things out of a nose manual is absolutely mind-blowing. being able to get that much pop going straight at an obstacle from nose manny position just does not even remotely make sense.
-
Dam
Heavy heavy part
Agree on music... What the hell ha
-
That was fucked up! So many stand out tricks… :o Adidas blew it hard on Dilo. He’s a powerhouse thats been on a tear for a while and seems like a genuinely nice guy.
I would fuckin’ love to see him get SOTY (but I unfortunately think that’s unlikely)
-

I didn’t think it was a good song choice, but it didn’t bother me as much as it did others. Music is such a personal thing, when everyone on here was praising the vans video for using a Sunny Day Real Estate song all I could do was shudder.
But I don’t really get your shoes comment. Honestly, it just made me wonder how someone this good would be without a footwear sponsor. Didn’t affect the skating for me at all.
-
Amazing skating. Song was perfect. Give him the trophy. A+
-
Pink Panther... Red Tiger.
This ruled all the way around.
It's Dilo or Suciu and we all win.
-
Macba tricks are just mind-blowing, they're a steep forward on anything that's been done so far in the plaza.
Overall it's an amazing part, he should be on the shortlist nominees of the SOTY.
What the hell is lakai waiting for to announce him?

I just looked at their current team. It's one of the oddest teams out there or maybe I am just not a Crail fan like I used to. Dilo on Adidas made way more sense. He almost like sticks out on the Lakai team.
-
Yeah, the song really didn’t bother me. I thought it was edited well to the skating. I wanted a side angle of that nollie 180 though.
If he gets soty I won’t be mad.
-
That was so good it almost made me wanna buy some Lakai’s
10/10 adidas blew it. Long live King Dildo.
-
Dilo!!!! Not dildo lol fuck
-
i love how he's so happy after some tricks! it's so cute!
that fs nollie 180 doesn't make any sense to me! it doesn't even feel like an ollie is possible. wow!
-
Crazy, the part had some 5 or 6 enders.

Same here, never tried lakai and if I ever do it's because of him
-
Just pump this dude's footage straight into my brain. On the one hand, you could say he deserves better than Almost, but on the other hand, after hearing how Almost was the only company that decided to give him a shot and put him on the pro fast track, maybe it's actually Almost that deserves better?
EDIT: Fakie tre-fakie manual-fakie tre.
-
Manual God.
-
Filmers and editor really must hate him. Could have been a really, really great part, absolutely mind-blowing tricks in there, but there's no chance I'll ever re-watch that mess again.
-
That nollie FS180 isn’t even a spot. Hall of fame banger
-
The song was fucking sick. Like a badbadbadnotgood or xiu xiu take on the pink panther. You can all get fucked
And honestly tho, that was the best switch tre I've ever seen. What others could compete? Hope another angle comes out eventually too

Skating was amazing, song was horrible. Dude has some of the best flick in the game right now.

-
been awhile since i saw such a natural
soty
* natural soty, not natural style. he has more of a power style, to put a name on it. But his output seems to just be climbing in quality over the course of this year, without coming across as calculated.
-
Dilo is truly an enigma, absolute natural talent that people enjoy watching yet no "cool" company wants to put him on.
call me a slave to corporate skate companies but seeing him skate in sambas makes for a far better visual than those telfords, just my opinion tho.
Would be stoked to see him get soty, but I highly doubt it.
-
All of you saying "that song", lol. What are ya'll like 13 years old or some shit?
Anyways, dude has gotten so well rounded over the years. Always thought of him as a strictly manual dude, but he also skates huge shit. Part was dope. Dilo or Suciu.
-

bro its just a different version of the same old pink panther song. no progressive chords or beat switches. the same old song played by a different band. relax pitchfork reader. this is not like badbadnotgood or xiu xiu at all lmao. thats what the cover of your dads band would sound like.
insane part. my SOTY for now.
-
Is there some kind of joke with Red Tiger and Pink Panther? If there is I don't get it..
Pink panther song would be good for an intro but a whole part? idk.. they should've put some clips of Peter Sellers in there to really complete the concept.
Sick fucking skating, whats up with that last massive 5 block? I've never seen that before, it's fucking huge. can't believe he nollie 180'd it. It's like Rincon but way bigger and with a fucking curb you have to ollie over first.
-

Def not the worst filming (especially by today's standards) but all I could think is why would you film from this angle. Least dynamic way to show he blasts the shit out of his tricks.
-
First off, that was one of the best song pairings in forever, you pre-Saturday morning cartoon kids can fuck right off. As for the skating, I was expecting heat but not THAT much. Ridiculous tech. Impeccable flick. Hard tricks down monstrous gaps. SOTY and it’s not a contest. No one else has killed it this hard all year long and that’s that.

People can keep waxing poetics on how hr fits better on Adidas fact is Adidas did him dirty, plus his insta footy with lakais are so amazing.
-
At this point wit so many good skaters dropping parts all year, Thrasher just needs to have a king of Macba style contest to determine this SOTY shit. They all deserve it!
-
Dilo's hucking doesn't have that numbing effect others do, the flick and catch on the fs flip @4:05 was tasty.
-
i wouldn’t be mad at all if he won soty
agreed!
-
Oof, Ali’s small part in Extremely Sorry just got replaced with this for my association when I hear this song. Amazing shit honestly.
-
I think we all know it's a variation of the Pink Panther theme haha, what do we have to identify the song's origins before our criticisms are made valid? You guys who enjoy the song are either doing so strictly for the sake of being contrarian, or you're huge Inspector Clouseau fans. I mean hey, the song doesn't match the skating in my opinion. Might be good for a homie cam evening slappy session YouTube vid or something.
Also:
Is there some kind of joke with Red Tiger and Pink Panther? If there is I don't get it..
Anyway, my inner Heckler is coming out. Whatever, it's all good, just watch it on mute from now on I guess.
-
last tricks were all insane, his pop and flick are great.
so what clips were older? the lakai or the adidas clips?

I disagree they paid him next to nothing, gave him free shoes and bought him a few plane tickets in return they received more video coverage and photos/ads in mags than almost everyone on their official team excluding Suciu of course. Talk about ROI!!!!
-
People acting like we hate the song because we don’t realize it’s from the Pink Panther, but that exact association plays into why it’s such an awful choice.
Imagine a part called “Objective Unfeasible” edited to the Mission Impossible theme - just corny lol.
-
crazy to think that the last two spots have only been ollied prior to this, by dudes who ollie some really shit at that (sandoval, townley). sandoval ollied that block set as his ender too. shows how john dilo is the absolute definition of “tech gnar”.
i bet he has something else coming before the year ends just like suciu. he had a photo in the new mag on a spot he skates in this part doing a better trick than the one in this part.
-
Red Tiger, Pink Panther... I get it.
-
Once I realized that song wasn't going to end the part was ruined for me
-
The filming was fucking perfect! It's really striking to see really incredible clips paired with excellent filming, especially lately. No gimmicky nonsense distracted from Dilo's skating, letting tricks like that gorgeous switch 360 flip at 1:53 just breathe. Love it.
-
Damn, there were some insane tricks just in the first two minutes alone. Nollie backside flip over a bench, nose manny nollie up to nose manny flip out, and tailslide flip out to nose manny are all tricks I've done in Skate 3 with the mindset that it would be sick to see someone do them in real life one day.
But I'll hop on the song debate and say that they really got him fucked up on that song. I was waiting for it to end and for another song to kick in for the first four minutes of that part.
-
Dilo!!!! Not dildo lol fuck
Ha, we know your autocorrect is programed in haaard.
-
he's one the of the best in the biz right now, would be stoked to see him take SOTY this year if it doesn't go to Mark
his ability to nollie up things out of a nose manual is absolutely mind-blowing. being able to get that much pop going straight at an obstacle from nose manny position just does not even remotely make sense.
Agreed
-
What was up with the Rocky and Bullwinkle soundtrack?
-
Would love to see a different angle of that switch tre. Caught it way way up. One of the best I’ve seen for sure.
-
One of the few times I’ll overlook Shake Junt grip tape on a grown adults board.
-
Dam
Heavy heavy part
Agree on music... What the hell ha
Its like a song you illegally downloaded in 2000 when you were a kid and you first discovered music pirating. Tragic choice for a present day part. Almost seems ironic its so lazy and unimaginative, but not quite.
John and his skating are very sick though. He fits on Lakai

how bummed would you be to bust your ass on a banger only to have it filmed like this?
anyway, had no idea this dude was this good. thought the song would change after the first thirty seconds or so, learned to tune it out

Honestly, i really like the way this was filmed; really drives it in how crazy it is to maintain balance. Go ahead and crucify me.
-
although filled with bangers, the nosemanual pop to nosemanual nollie flip was really the standout trick for me. dilo has been so productive and every part is crazy like this one
-
Its my birthday tommorow, and my plan is to drink a few beers and then DM Lakai to put John on for at least 20 times.
-
This part was insane. Now think about the fact that he put out 5 parts this year.
Hope he gets SOTY. He's really raising the bar for tech.
Seems like it's between him and Mark yet neither got a cover this year. Pretty wild.
-
The fact that so many zoomers here are "bummed on the song" is fucking hilarious to me. I thought it was a great choice, in fact I loved it.
-
That nose manual to nollie down the set was my favourite, the fact that he clipped it made it even better imo.
-

I couldnt finish watching that part because the song started to bother me more and more. Had to rewatch it muted.
-
Amazing part, he's been putting great parts multiple times a year for last couple of years.
Super productive and push skating in new directions.
-
Don't get the hate for the song, it made me smile and the amazing skating really shadowed the song.
If you're paying more attention to the song than to the skating, maybe you should be watching figure skating instead.
Same thing goes for people saying that they are confused about the switch between adidas and lakai - FFFS is this skating or Victoria's secret?
Dilo > Suciu in this SOTY round for sure.
-
Is he the most productive skater of all time? Bobby worrest, Dean Palmer, Mike Anderson and others have had a crazy year or two where they've filmed multiple parts in a row but just checking YouTube it looks like he has filmed an average of at least three parts a year and been in montages for the last four years or more.
Also regarding the song while it didn't bother me so much I do think it seems a little lazy to not get something better. You'd think these days there's unlimited musicians you could reach out to online and be like hey can you make me a song based off the pink panther theme.i can't really pay you much but It will be on thrasher so you will get a ton of exposure.
-
Am I the only person who was absolutely Blown Away by the skating and also liked song?
-
Didn't hate the song as much as most of you seem to, did love the skating as much as everyone else seems to.
Seems crazy this dude isn't a bigger deal at this point.
-
i dont think the song sucks but it gives the part kind of a commercial feel when the tricks are so heavy they couldve been cut to something epic. may be thats just not his mood. skateboarding is a joke. a childs toy. the funnest thing ever. why over dramatize it?
-
Dilo has been ripping for a long time, this part though. This was unreal. My new favorite huckster. Wow
-
The use of the Pink Panther theme was kinda stupid. Generally fantastic part though
Insane flick, mannys on point, and some of those gaps and sets looked massive
The guy really deserves the recognition he’s been getting lately. I wouldn’t be mad at a SOTY win.
-
I don't think many of us are saying the song itself sucks but it just doesn't fit the skating whatsoever and the editor seems to have made no attempt to make it feel any more synchronous.
The filming could have been better too as others have said, main issue being some angles chosen. Skating was great but I wish there were a line or two thrown in to break up all the static camera shots with some follow cam.
The only kind of part I can imagine this song working well with would be a part like Kien Lieu or Sean Sheffey were putting out in the early 90s; lots of long, flowing jazzy lines, cruising with style/flare kinda stuff. That could be neat.
Almost has a hella talented team but they're aesthetically a mess. Similar to modern plan b. That's one constant with Rodney's projects since the A team. Dude could use some help with developing an artistic direction/aesthetics for his projects.
-
after a couple rewatches it just gets better an better skating wise.
once you notice some of the kooky filming it gets super annoying. i know i complain about that but imagine some of the amazing gino or Dgar footage but its just there feet and none of the upper body style is visible
-
Amazing skating and style, yes heavier than Suciu, but abysmal choice of music which lowers the impact of the part. I rewatched it with "Black and White" transitioning into "Uniform of Youth" by Mr. Mister playing over it instead, worked SO much better.
-
music rights cost money and should not be considered in the evaluation of any online part.
we could start a petition for companies to upload skate videos with skate sounds only and then make a simple browser plugin to play any tune over it.
-
I dunno
Music works a lot better on second watch
I think is just oldies that remember the pink panther cartoon that found it jarring at first
-
This dude is an absolutely elite skater who seems to have terrible luck getting and keeping sponsors, and it seems like he doesn't care at all. If nothing else, the song communicates that.
I love that the moment he lands the big nollie 180, he immediately blooms into the purest smile of joy
Maybe this dude could get sponsored by them "life is good" frisbees
-
That switch tre!!!

love that people think that anyone who doesn't like the song doesn't know it or appreciate it because they are a child or something. we all know the fucking pink panther theme and cartoons, they still played reruns of that on saturday mornings through all of our childhoods.
The problem is it doesn't match the gravity of skating in this part at all, AND it happens to be a particularly boring rendition of a tune I normally enjoy. Like they totally phoned it in on the entire middle section of the song, which is the most interesting part of the whole composition. Leaving out most of the cool chord changes and that nice bass part in favor of playing the main riff for 5+ minutes
here's the real version- (section im talking abt is around 0:39)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=lp6z3s1Gig0&ab_channel=Officer620
someone mentioned it sound like BBNG, and that led me to put an actual song from them over it. Honestly it lined up really well and provided a cool energy to the enders

(to line it up i hit play just as the almost logo came up)

Dude you didn’t even know who THE PINK PANTHER WAS BEFORE WATCHING THR PART!
I can tell because no one that grew up with the Pink Panther cartoon would even talk like that. And I think you’re lying about the Saturday morning thing too! >:(

That switch tre!!!
I’m sure the ghost would approve!
Loved this part and love Dilo.
-
Dilo is fucking nasty.
-
Dilo does lots of stuff that Suciu could never do. Suciu does lots of stuff that Dilo could do. Dilo does fakie stuff over gaps, huge flat-ground flips, and fliptricks out of grinds on gnarly out-ledges that Mark will never match. I was all for mark winning Soty til i watched this part. Now Im fine if Dilo takes it. To me Mark is this generations Busenitz (even though Busenitz clowned on Mark); he kills it and set a new standard, but the cards never fell right for him to get the award.
-
I have nothing against Suciu but I'm always thinking he will get shafted at SOTY because he tries too hard - he just makes things look too easy with his 2 or more parts and not enough B-roll clips of his slams. SOTY ends up going to someone like Dilo or Yuto if they somehow release a part in time, would be an amazing end to his Olympic gold medal year.
But that Dilo part was sick, Nollie FS 180 is such an underrated trick and that stair set was massive.
-
John Dilo really does have one of the most unique skill sets in skating. Who else could you describe as a hucker/manual guy with crazy pop?
-
this was awesome, wouldn't be mad at dilo soty, guy has been reliably putting out multiple parts a year for years

its the dwindle curse. blind and almost have some of the best street skaters out there on the team. yuri is insane. might be my favorite. so is Jake Ilardi. dude big flip fs boardslid hollywood 16 and fs feeble down that huge 20? set handrail and was forgotten immediately.
they arent profitable outside of skating for whatever reasons. not living in cali. they are just some dudes.

I don't know anything about him personally but I can see how someone could have such a bad experience with adidas they say fuck it and go straight to lakai rather than dealing with being flow for Nike,nb,vans etc. He could also be hoping that a smaller company might actually put him on

this. be another flow for life skater or being on a team with a few people and actually getting a pro shoe and sticking with them for over a decade. if you are young lets say 18 19 adidas will hook you up with the intend that you are the young ripper. kids can connect to you. youll get a colorway of an already existing shoe that will sell nonetheless even to none skate nerd audience that know and like the shoe plus the kids that are hyped on you.
thyshawn got one because hes soty and kind of famous. busenitz got one because they introduced the adidas skate line with a pure skate rat.
i dont really see john dilo as being that appealing to kids that arent quite as good at skating or having other interst than being a huge skate nerd.

the song almost ruined the amazing skating for me... really bummed me out. and puffy lakais dont fit him nearly as good as the samba advs. how is this guy not a no brainer for adidas/nike/vans?
I don't know anything about him personally but I can see how someone could have such a bad experience with adidas they say fuck it and go straight to lakai rather than dealing with being flow for Nike,nb,vans etc. He could also be hoping that a smaller company might actually put him on
this. be another flow for life skater or being on a team with a few people and actually getting a pro shoe and sticking with them for over a decade. if you are young lets say 18 19 adidas will hook you up with the intend that you are the young ripper. kids can connect to you. youll get a colorway of an already existing shoe that will sell nonetheless even to none skate nerd audience that know and like the shoe plus the kids that are hyped on you.
thyshawn got one because hes soty and kind of famous. busenitz got one because they introduced the adidas skate line with a pure skate rat.
i dont really see john dilo as being that appealing to kids that arent quite as good at skating or having other interst than being a huge skate nerd.
not only do i never see him getting a lakai pro shoe but he will be off of them within a year

I don’t really fuck with Stevie Perez but the Flaco Mid was an amazing shoe

Good.
i mean the guy who hasn’t put out shit in years has one while riley has 3 so it’s not absurd to think the guy that just put out this part couldn’t snag one as well...

worst song on a part of all time and the shoe changing was very distracting. i would have just left those clips with lakais out for another vid. his clothes got significantly worse in the lakai clips too
But I don’t really get your shoes comment. Honestly, it just made me wonder how someone this good would be without a footwear sponsor. Didn’t affect the skating for me at all.
Felt like the song was awkward but good skating
