I don't want to overhype this, but Suciu has claimed that this is his next big project with Justin Albert. Drops tomorrow on Thrasher.

if you read the things thrasher writes as descriptions for his recent photos and parts... it comes off as “hey we get it but it ain’t happening” while they also are talking up yuto winning olympics... i think it’s gonna be yuto for that sweet, japanese money/publicity.
Title: Re: Flora Episode 3 - Mark Suciu
Post by: Lame_Nigga on December 02, 2021, 09:31:13 PM
Him leaving the handrail part for last feels so specifically designed to get SOTY. Don’t think it’s happening for him though. Yuto being a gold medalist feels like the antithesis of Thrasher but they gotta cash in somehow.

Pity its probably going to Yuto. Should have saved all his parts for next year and dropped like an hour of footage lol.

Would be even funnier if the Milton part in the Creature vid has some absolutely mind melters in it and he beat Suciu yet again.

Aside from the fact that Suciu obviously deserves SOTY more, Phelps would never give it to the same person they the Olympics chose. We’re about to see if Thrasher has completely ditched Phelps way.

I mean it’s not like Mason didn’t do the exact same thing last year. And Yuto’s Thrasher gear dripped December part is just as blatant.

I like the shit where Phelps said he gave Reynolds SOTY after seeing one kickflip (the best one ever done), but also watching these SOTY thirsty dudes go crazy stacking all year is pretty entertaining too. At the end of the day putting out this much good footage like Suciu or Mason in a year is impressive and SOTY worthy.

runs about 8 minutes long, last 2-3 minutes are all hard way spins into and out of handrail tricks. first half has a busenitz guest trick and tons of pier 7 destruction. a backtail to hippy jump the volcano spot in philly mark humenik did a few tricks on in the rueben stands out.

I agree, it's fun to see his output and how determined he is. He's also been killing it for a very long time, and seeing him up the ante even more is pretty incredible.

I remember a reynolds interview when he said that phelps gave him the award because he saw him do a single kickflip over a set in france. Oh how far (backwards?) we've come.

At least with Mason last year, it was spaced out enough to feel like a journey. Mark's campaign feels like the kool aid man busting into the wall of your room right before you are about to go to bed.

give SOTY to fred gall. they just destroyed his skateable monument to his own mothers life. life time career of impeccable skating on all terrain. saved monks from a burning building. high speed productions gets too much mail to risk making the wrong choice. give SOTY to fred gall.

Some people have an aversion to "trying."  Like, it's cool if you want to live your life nonchalantly and low key, that's absolutely okay.  It's also okay to be ambitious and a bit try-hardy.

This part plus the Spitfire part come out to about the same length as Verso, then add 2 more parts.

But then 2 years ago he also had parts other than Verso as well. I think he must skate about twice as much as everyone else.

Yeah, that was completely ridiculously amazing. Like watching videos back in the 90s and you didn’t even know the trick was possible and had never seen it before like that. It’s like that, but in 2021. Which is really an incredible thing.

I don’t really really care about SOTY, plenty of my fav skaters aren’t SOTY (and plenty of my least fav are) - but at this point, Thrasher would be kooking itself by not attaching it’s brand to Mark. He’s unequivocally the best in 2021, and it’s not even close.

Mark is vastly more important to skateboarding than Thrasher's prize thingie. At this point, it needs Suciu way more than Suciu needs it.

It's like when Dylan won the Nobel Prize. They tried to spin it as a huge honor for Dylan but everyone knew it was the Nobel folks trying to resuscitate their own relevance by attaching themselves to him.

I geeked out and checked the sessions on that 10 stair hubba to flat ledge @ :47 in Flora--
he's in the same getup for 2 of the 3 tricks on the same ledge in Blue Dog (@ 2:06). Same lighting, too.

So in that single session, he did blunt to back 50-50, back tail to back tail, and back tail bigspin. I guess he figured he'd save the best for last?

jesus.

if you edited together a 'best of' his 2021 footage you would have 10 minutes of wild enders.

fuck the soty talk for a minute - if you just think about how much footage he's put out and the fact that it's all so high level it's insane - no one can touch that. There's no filler in this.

It's crazy how quick a lot of those clips were, if they wanted to edit this how a lot of parts are and showed some double angles that could have been like another 10 minute part.

for some reason, that line on the downhill ledges in SF stood out to me the most

I think you’re a little confused. The spots where he’s going “slow” are just incredibly awkward spots and he’s doing incredibly awkward tricks. The spot itself requires fast feet and not full speed attack.

if there was a discussion to be had about who deserved SOTY this part just ended that conversation.

Truly incredible the sheer amount of footage and hard work he put in this year.

Weirdly this reminded me of the Dylan. Gravis part in some way.  Like a culmination of a person's abilities that finally becomes realized. 

This was easily the best part he's ever put out. There's like 20 different tricks that made me audibly yell "holy shit"

Just unreal.  Happy for him! What a talent!

mark is the type of skater that could win an unlimited amount of TWS awards, but a Thrasher SOTY still seems like an odd fit. But so does Yuto ... Chima seems like the best fit, so far.

this part was fucked, finding new lines on the 3rd and army
Title: Re: Flora Episode 3 - Mark Suciu
Post by: CossRooper on December 03, 2021, 12:09:40 PM
SOTY literally has to be him. This year has been unreal, every single part is filled with mind benders and NBDs and downright scary shit on every continent. But also, you have to consider the consistency over the past 10 years too-- combine that with this year's literally inhuman amount of output, it can't go to anyone else.

You can say that Yuto or Dilo are ripping or whatever but nobody has been doing it at this level for this long.

The irony of the SOTY race is how much of a (video)  CONTEST it has become....
While it goes against the Thrasher ethos to reward the jockiness of striving to win a contest..

Therefore, in order to keep that Thrasher spirit, they should award it to a "lifestyle" skater who isn't gunning so hard.

Nonetheless Suciu's amazing and I love what he represents: class, maturity, smarts and talent to do long tasteful lines instead of single clip hammers ala Zero/Baker

out!

360 flip manny to making eye contact and confirming safe passage in front of a pickup truck while still manualing.

yo fr, can we talk about my man's traffic management? that tre flip manny line with the pickup, the opening line at Dolores Park in SF where he goes out into the middle of Dolores Street and does a half cab bluntslide back to fakie and a switch tre, in his Spitfire part where he times his line perfectly and does a switch front heel in the middle of Centre street in NYC when skating from courthouse to blubba? these are busy-ass streets, there are so many factors to be monitoring

such incredible precision in literally every element of his skateboarding

I get mark likes his no push lines but so many clips of his just look like he’s going incredibly slow, just like the other 3 mark parts I only really cared for about the footage. Marks really good at doing unique tricks on cool spots and somehow making me dislike it because he’s riding at walking speed
[close]

Had to rewatch the part to see these "slow" clips. Part ended and I didn't see any. What specific clips in this part seemed slow to you? Keep in mind you have posted videos you made on here that feature people skating about a tenth of the speed Mark skates.  ;)

Are you seriously comparing someone in the running for soty to me and my friends mediocre skate ability’s?

He has won this award by so many miles, the mag would have to be batshit not to. 4 parts including this insane one, past years where he could have won, and he's from Nor Cal.

Sick Blonde Redhead song, I love that 23 album.

Seems to me there was quite a few older clips in there based on the shoes he was wearing, I don't think that takes away from anything.

Dude has put out the most footage of any one human un a calendar year by so far. I thought Mason's 3 parts was going to hold up for some years.

Suciu on coke confirmed… went from Mirror lines to full on rails

+1 and also my pick for COTY

No, not skill-wise. Just talking speed. I'm not even trying to go to bat for Suciu here, just find that criticism odd, and frankly, inaccurate. Kinda like saying you don't like seeing Nikes in footage but then making a homie video where everyone is wearing Nikes.

Again, timestamp a "slow" clip from that part as an example. The only clip I saw that might qualify as not so fast was the two weird metal benches in a row that he had to skate slower so he could actually hit both.

I know, right? Lol. Homie's eyes are broken or something. The second clip he hated on for being slow was literally a downhill line where he's flying by the time he's at the second trick, and everyone who skates there goes slower on the first trick because you gain speed so quick. He does a switch flip back tail going super fast, and this dude is complaining about it being too slow. Guess he expected Mark to skitch a car on that first line when he rolled into the street instead of taking a couple solid pushes, and maybe get towed into that downhill line.  ;D

if there was a discussion to be had about who deserved SOTY this part just ended that conversation.

Truly incredible the sheer amount of footage and hard work he put in this year.

Weirdly this reminded me of the Dylan. Gravis part in some way.  Like a culmination of a person's abilities that finally becomes realized. 

This was easily the best part he's ever put out. There's like 20 different tricks that made me audibly yell "holy shit"

Just unreal.  Happy for him! What a talent!

This is what I felt Verso was. The idea that he topped it… I’m not sure but could be. This year is def overall as crazy as the year he had in 2019. Either way SOTY and a legend.

I think Thrasher wrote up a little 2 page spread in a magazine because they both did this trick around the same time and got sequences of them too.

Lmaooo, spot on.

I think this part had some more texture than his last few for sure, I like the skrelly clip and the back tail hippy jump mixed in with all that wizardry. I think I wanna see him have fun more often!

The barrage of insane rail tricks was fucked up but I'd almost rather them be sprinkled throughout the part and slowly building, but that's really an editing critique rather than one of the actual skating. I'll die on this hill... Suciu more than deserves to be recognized for his accomplishments, but I still wonder if he will get SOTY. And that doubt has NOTHING to do with what he's actually doing on the skateboard but everything to do with what kind of impact it's having on people. Skateboarding is weird, man.

I'd vote for him just because he takes it so seriously, but I'm afraid that it's the reason why he won't win it.

Edit: Mark Suciu's penis

Yep. Only in skateboarding. one of the best ever to do it puts out five parts in a few months (Blue Dog, Philly, Curve, Spitfire and Flora III). Skates iconic spots. Skates never seen spots. Does tricks few people have imagined before. It is all free. We can watch them all 400 times. He put out 11minutes in 2019 and it didn't work. So he films multiple parts with different filmers. He sees Mason won with 3 parts in 2020. He makes 5 parts to be sure. He seeks recognition from the monopolistic media agent of the culture that treats skaters with a brain like outcasts. And people hate. "Burnett! Come quick. Mark's readin' again!"

He literally one upped Yuto's ender as his own. That's the most gangster thing I've ever seen. Fuck me.

???

Coulda' sworn they're two completely different tricks at drastically different spots. Did Mark have a nollie 270 kickflip front board down Hollywood 16 after the credits that I missed?

Sorry yuto, game over.

Blatant soty push is whack but you just cant argue with marks skating. Ludicrously good
[close]

He’s just doing his job - and doing it very very well.

I hate the “it’s cool to not try” mentality.
[close]


Plus, if you don't think pretty much every SOTY in the last 10 years wasn't gunning for it you're out of your mind.
[close]

You're not wrong, just seems like past couple years the attempts have been more obvious which has bothered me a bit. Maybe that will become the new norm and thats ok, I just have to adjust to it.

Anyways, max palmer for soty.

Mark's gonna win tho, he went off
[close]


Mason felt organic and took advantage of the pandemic.   He was just having a year and was skating at a high level and kept going until the wheels fell off.   When he had a parts worth of footage he released it
Do you really think Mason chose when his parts came out? I'm sure Deluxe and Nike knew exactly what they were doing.

I think Thrasher wrote up a little 2 page spread in a magazine because they both did this trick around the same time and got sequences of them too.

That trick has been on my mind all year. I bought a TVV deck earlier this year cuz of that part. Do you know what issue that’s in? I conceptualize the trick as a fakie grapefruit grind. Been doing it in my skate video games.

Here is the Thrasher article on it. Pretty rad that they didn't bother trying to figure out who did it first, just that they did the same NBD at around the same time.

It's like it's penis measuring contest; Suciu shows off an average sized penis, but it's an incredibly beautiful, complex, unheard off, never seen before, breathtaking, astonishingly uncompromised, magnificent, average-and a whole fuck load of motion in the ocean-sized penis.
Best description. The complexity factor is unacknowledged in the SOTY run because everyone knows that doing tricks just because is way cooler than thinking about it though. Posting this as the heel of the thread because everyone else is already on his dick.

I love Mark's skating, don't get the hate towards him on here, but of course I can agree it would have been better to have these parts appear throughout the year instead.

That may be on him but it probably had a lot to do with working with multiple filmers/sponsors also. Imagine if these parts were re-edited down to the best footy though, to an 8ish minute 2 song part instead. Probably would have been more "consumable" to his detractors and probably still SOTY.

Suciu has probably had the most productive 4 years in skateboard history. I'm pretty sure he's dropped 45 minutes of footage since 2019. Some of these parts board line don't count, but I'll list them anyway:

Thunder (2019)
Balance of Opposites (2019)
Verso (2019)
Story Edit (2019)
Connector Line (2019)
Coattails (2020)
Blue Dog (2021)

Flora 3 (2021)

Suciu had mentioned in some interview (maybe Slap's?) that he was working on a part with Chris Mulhern. I was really hoping that Untitled 6 would be a Suciu part, but I'm assuming all of that footage was used in his quadrilogy.

It reminded me of Mark Johnson‘s rail destruction in Seven Steps to Heaven, blew my mind. It took years until people would do those tricks on bigger rails. The same applies to Mariano‘s Switch rail tricks in Mouse.

Different times now of course, so I suppose it won’t be long until Horigome, Shirai et al take Suciu‘s NBDs to a 8-10 stair rail in some California Skateparks training facility, but he paved the way (yet again).

Suciu already had 3 years where he probably should have won (2013, 2014, 2019). One, Ishod just killed everything in 2013, and another year they didn't give it to him cuz he was still AM (Cross Continental year), so I don't blame him for playing this bullshit game if that's what it takes. What he just dropped here was fucked.

Watching the part for the 3rd or 4th time, it gets better on each viewing. The same thing happened to me with Verso, which I didn't really like at first

I just realized that Justin Albert is basically a career filmer whose primary job is filming one dude. It's not even like he is appointed to film a team; Mark skates so damn much that it's a full time job keeping up with him.
Albert filmed clips in each of the 4 parts and filmed the entirety of Blue Dog and Flora. Ridiculous productivity.

I also like this objectively large switch flip snuck in there right before the handrail massacre.

It got a bit too hectic for my feeble brain to make sense of things, but minus his college years Mark has always been super productive and now he’s just very stoked on skating again. His Instagram stories for a single year are more footage than most of the FA team has put out in their entire career and lots of it could be in actual parts.

A lot of those rails weren't very small at all. I know I wouldn't be hitting most of those for a basic trick let alone some of the back-benders in this part. The backsmith front 180 out was on a longer rail.. anyways, fuck ya'll for hating on someone for wanting an achievement. This trophy has somehow become to be most respected award a skater can get. Like Silas said in his interview, this award can actually lengthen your career and cement you as one of the best of all time. If I had a shot at getting it - fuck yeah I'd try to get that shit and you probably would too.

I think Thrasher wrote up a little 2 page spread in a magazine because they both did this trick around the same time and got sequences of them too.

That trick has been on my mind all year. I bought a TVV deck earlier this year cuz of that part. Do you know what issue that’s in? I conceptualize the trick as a fakie grapefruit grind. Been doing it in my skate video games.

Feels like he was almost universally liked until he moved to NYC and his Jenkem “hanging out with” video dropped, then a lot of people turned on him. To be fair he was a little corny in the Jenkem video but it doesn’t justify the level of hate at all. People are definitely using his occasional corniness as an excuse to project their insecurities.

I don't know what elements of his personality everyone is hating on. I watched his Pals questions and 9 Club interview and he just comes across as a super regular nice and polite easy going human I feel like everyone is projecting some mad shit
I think it's just fun to make fun of him. I mean it's not always we get a college man to poke jokes at in skateboarding, usually we laugh at how stupid they are.

I don't know what I have more of a passion for.

How much I love this dude's skating or how much I hate his personality.

I love his skating too. I also hate his cowlick and the melon shape of his head, Cro-Magnon brow and oblong encephalitis.

I think it’s just high school level bully shit.  Be mean to the smart kid because he makes you feel insecure about your own perceived intelligence

But on the other hand, consider how bulletproof Alexis is:
Competed in the Olympics
Masters Degree from MIT
Moved to NY from LA
And she’s one of the most beloved people in the industry!

I know, but she was living in Echo Park  before she moved out to New York so I figured the LA to NY move could stand

It's not like we're personally picking on him, and the people claiming to be smarter and more mature are way more offensive in their remarks, as your own post makes clear by the personal attacks. Either way there's no shortage of making fun of other skaters, it's just that Suciu fans are way too sensitive while no one really cares when it's about anyone else other than Fred Gall.
Title: Analyzing Mark Suciu in Flora III
Post by: JJ_Skates on December 14, 2021, 06:59:46 PM
The YouTube Channel Dumb Data just dropped this video analyzing  Mark's Flora III part (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6tJHj2NlRs&t=1s)

I've never seen anyone spreadsheet a video part and divide the single shots/lines, numbers, locations, solid commentary, etc all in one video.
His rail skating is something else, that's for damn sure. My favorite single shot is his switch 180 FS feeble on the Selma elementary rail.

Feel free to geek out on particular lines, disagree with the analysis, or sling shit, etc.

Not slinging shit but there's a few lipslide/boardslide nosegrind/5-0 mixaroonies but it's mostly pretty correct. Possible intentional dig with the back noseblunt on the bank call

Five minutes in the excessive display of nerdery invalidates any of my potential critizism. He put in some serious effort.
