Al Davis
Ben Gore (I could see this happening down the line, he's homies with all those guys)
Joel Meinholz
Connor Kammerer (Hopefully not off Open, but if that went down)

Beautifulnessest...

Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you!

they literally just skated the streets. i guess you could consider the cooper union building a spot. respect.
nollie flip was ill!
-
Leo Valls. So much fun skating below ledges and powersliding into curbs.
-
leo valls fuckin murdered it, toad style!
-
fuck yess leo killed it every clips was sick loved the tricks over the bench to curb smack
-
HOLLY FUUUCK! That was fucking incredible. Prob my favorite Magenta video so far. NEXT LEVEL!
Leo Valls killed it so hard, best style.
Thank you for keepin it alive and well. I want to skate now.
-
First half was amazing.
So far it seems like I'm the only one, but I really could have done without all the breakdancing one foot powerslides...

God damn that just made my morning. So psyched on all the east coast footage this year

Leo Valls is the fucking TRUTH!!!

sooo stoked right now!

I agree with you

magenta is sick, jimmy and soy are amazing. idk about leo valls, not trying to hate, but the dude just grinds my gears
-
makes me want to go skate!
-
As someone who back Magenta as hard as any company, I still fail to see what Vivien Feil brings to the party.

beautiful display of skateboarding. i want to cruise around so bad now.
-
what the fuck is the deal with the one footed power slides and the foot plant powerslides? that shit is wack as fuck
and flat ground ollies? really what the fuck
i enjoyed it though
-
daddy likey ehhhehehehehe :D
-

I don't like how everyone seems to worship the dude. I like his skating, and think it has it's place but both him and his fans go overboard with it at times.
Liked the clip a lot though, good job Mandible! Could definitely tell you were the one who edited and (mostly) filmed it.
-
I agree with this^^^
and disagree with whoever said Vivien Feil adds nothing to the company.
-
zach lyons????
-
Damn that was so fucking crazy, they got down while they were here. Edit was amazing, everything was top notch from the music, editing, song, skating, etc. Brings back fond memories of getting to skate with them. Watched Viviens last line go down in person, couldnt believe he was even skating that spot, that diamond top metal shit is so hard ollieing onto and maintaining speed. And hell yeah on Leo's first line I setup that garbage wallie and we were skating it together before I dipped out, didnt get to see the bs blunt powerslide boardslide fakie...looked crazy. Cant believe people are managing to talk shit on these guys, its mind blowing. Seriously underestimating all these dudes if thats your opinion.

Leo's just not that good really BUT he is interesting though.
And at a time where everyone is good and relatively few people are interesting that's worth a lot.

To say there aren't many interesting skateboarders is absolutely ridiculous. Moreover, there are lots of really interesting skateboarders that don't resort to riding up a bank to fakie to retain that image.
-
holy shit that was amazing, that big l song went perfect
-
Camos and utility cargos are officially back! �Riding Vivien's board now and I've got a Soy board on deck...generator wood is good as fuck. �
Was hoping for a Zach clip
-
That Leo footy was sick.
-
I got speed wobbles just watching that.
-
the editing in this was pretty fucking top notch
-
yeah I could do without the powerslide stuff, its not bad its just not my thing
that nollie flip after the skitch was siick though
-
Skateboarding is freedom. There are no rules, only the industry says you have to do it like this or like that. Skateboarders need to be more open minded if they want to create something interesting. powerslides and one foot powerslides are super dope and exists since forever. Skating spots that are not spots is super dope. This video is the perfect exemple of it. Haven't been that hyped in a while.
By the way, Vivien Feil is the owner of Magenta and has an interview on a french website where he talks about all of this, good read:

when colin (i guess?) held on to leo holding on to the taxi i giggled like a small girl, so good.
for this whole clip-thing they have going on the concept is really awesome. if they did a full-length video like that i have to admit that i might get a little bored at some point.
so stoked that small euro brands are stirring up so much interest in america.
-
wow, loved everything about this
-
when colin (i guess?) held on to leo holding on to the taxi i giggled like a small girl, so good.
yeah. that last clip was a scary one, got some crazy speed wobbles.
glad you guys liked (mostly) the video! a lot more stuff coming soon, be on the look out.
-
that fisheye work is exquisite.
best thing ive seen in 2013 so far
-
LOL at whoever questioned Vivien Feil's contribution. He is easily the most talented skater on that team. Top notch ripper.
-
As someone who back Magenta as hard as any company, I still fail to see what Vivien Feil brings to the party.
He and his brother are the owners of magenta
-
Great work Colin! Your VX light saber technique is superb.
-
psyched to see Connor Kramerer, Alex Fogt, Ryan Barlow and Kenji Nakahira up in there.. dudes are always staying busy. most of the Open guys will, i think, have full parts in the upcoming Mandible Claw video. and hopefully more Open stuff soon!.
we're trying. but yall keep buying Magenta boards instead of Open boards! :P :P :P ::) ;D
-
definitely a welcome change of pace.
-
If you can make "easy tricks" look that good, you must be doing something right
I would have liked to see more of Jimmy though, he's definitely my favorite on magenta

Not to be a downer or anything, but I'm kinda disappointed in the lack of technicality. Jake Johnson proved that you can have a tech/gnar part filmed in NYC. This video is on some BobbyP 50-50 grinds on cellar doors with flat ground kickflips thrown in for good measure. With the vast amount crazy spots, I'm really surprised that it was just all about pushing and ollies. Even a city like SF where spots are scarce come more correct. Videos from there keep pushing boundaries with what little they have available, why not this vid from Magenta?
I don't know, do i just not get it or something?
-
I wonder how many death lenses get fucked up from skating so close to dudes shredding so fast like this

That's definitely a lot more enjoyable than I remembered. It always seems like Leo and Soy have a lot more footage in recent videos though.
-
Valls on point again. Never know what that guy will do next in a line
-
Leo has one of the best styles in skateboarding ***connnfirmmmedddddd*** ever since I saw his 48blocks part I've been a huge fan
-
Even though I feel like sick I'm still going to go out and film today because of this.
-
I don't know, do i just not get it or something?
You and a bunch of other people.
If the slides, footplants and ollies bore you, find another clip to watch. I don't expect to find something I like in every video made.
This isn't about progressive skating or exploiting every spot, it's an aesthetic and approach to skateboarding. It's not understood by most and shouldn't be.

Words of wisdom right here. I'd rather watch this than see the newest kid skating the biggest rail or the biggest stair set.
-
of course non of it is groundbreaking stuff but thats not the point really?
this is magentas vision of skateboarding and i for one dig it
this clip makes me want to grab my board and push real fast around my city,
does another nyjah internet clip of 20 stair handrail bangers make me want to do that? hell no
the skating is simple and looks nice, most importantly it looks fun and its more realistic in the sense that i could achieve similar things in my city which gets me stoked!

I think that people have been programmed to only appreciate skateboarding if it eclipses the last released part before.
Being either you view skating as a sport to be won, tricks to be conquered and success to be measured by your sponsor count.
There is a growing number of folks who enjoy watching others have a good time, and there is the artist/creativity aspect much like photography and music where people either have very rigid views on what constitutes A great photo or song and others may present something that is enjoyable but not necessarily text book.
20+ years of skating and watching videos and the kids at the park, your eyes kind of glaze over after a while of seeing the same thing, no matter how well done. Some people just want to be inspired in a new way.
-
The argument myself and I believe other people are making is that in order to be fresh or new you don't have to drastically decrease what you put into the technical side of skateboarding. Also, everything these guys put out is basically the same video in a different city. Is it really that new or different anymore?
Again, I like Magenta and most of what they do, but Leo Valls some of the people featured in their videos try way too hard to be unique and take the less is more approach to too much of an extreme. As Binomial Nomenclature said it just comes off as pretentious.

Well said. The more artistic/creative side of skating is always going to make me want to go skate rather than seeing some gnarly handrail or gap I'm never going to get a trick down.

I'm not sure this a debatable topic, it's what they do and people respond to it. You and other folks don't see the value and you perceive them to be "pretentious" without meeting them. It's skateboarding, less technical than most and in some cases, overly simple. I think that is the draw. I'm not trying to get you to see something you can't, and that is the point.
It's ok, I'm not trying to incite an argument. I still enjoy what Leo,Vivien,Soy and the other friends they bring along do even after a few videos worth of similar stuff. It looks fun and i like the guys doing it.

-
if i see anymore "ground-breaking" skateboarding i'd probably vomit
and Lannon is one of the most technical skateboarders i've ever seen. but he also picks and chooses wisely and subtly and that makes a better skateboarder to me then someone who just spews technical ability all over a block.
-
I really liked how a lot of it was night footy and that there was little emphasis on flip tricks but rather creativity within the city. I didn't see courthouse, memorial hubba, brooklyn banks, or any other NYC recognizable spots which made it all the better.
-
grow up, this sucked
-
This is all filmed in less than 2 weeks in crowded downtown NYC; and you've never seen most of these spots. The skating is incredibly fast, stylish and innovative (Including tricks that we've never seen before.) and the atmosphere itself just makes you want to go out and skate the streets. I see difficulty and progression in this.
Of course this is more conceptual and difficult to understand than videos of people practicing tricks.
If you want to see "impressive tricks" and don't want to think too hard, you have approximatly a hundred videos comin out everyday. Just because you just watched a thousand videos of people practicing skateboarding doesn't mean you have to think these guys "are trying too hard to be creative"; they are just doing something different, and they're good at it, end of the story.
-
That was amazing. Had a woody the entire time.
-
Lately, everything Magenta puts out is entertaining from the first till the last second.
Sick job Mandible Claw!
-
I love how you all cry about Kevin Tierney every chance you get, then act like this bullshit is the best thing to happen to skateboarding. Shit is ass, and you are all incredibly naive.
P.S. keep neg repping me, sorry I hurt all your feelings :'(

I really dug the edit as a whole, thoght it was sick. But I also liked it when Leo Valls did shit like this too.

Magenta boards are made in Mexico.. Open boards are made by Pennswood.. outside of Pittburgh.. they employ some if not all the Panza bros.. so.. well magenta is legit.. Open boards are ACTUALLY MADE in the North East.. and we're hyped on it. costs us more. but we love it... think our boards are actually better.. just saying. .. try an Magenta board.. if you have some cash try an Open board... cause were out there..
edit: im wrong. they are made in cali.. confusing bareback with generator..

This. Another stellar work from Magenta. Raw as hell, wish more of the industry would get on board.
-
i feel like alot of dudes on slap might like this because its a relate-able skill level or something..
-
you either dig this or you dont.
if you do. you buy into it.. if you dont.. you can keep buying in to your.. biggest most technical trick wins.
if you just want to skate. cause skating is awesome.. you get it.
also.. just from first person views.. 1.. i can not keep up with any of these guys in the streets.. just the amount of go is crazy.. and if you doubt any of these guys flat ground.. flipery trickery doo.. then your mistaken.

for those of you who don't get it's pretty easy to understand. everyone and their dad is good at skating nowadays.. people go to spots that have been raped by every human being that rides a skateboard, they spend hours trying to film the hardest trick they can possible think of, woopie. the magenta dudes aren't trying to go out there and fucking win street league. their just skating for fun like it should be and obviously taking a really different artistic non-spot approach and creative trick selection. they aren't trying to compete with baker and all those \m/ dudes.

Meaning that I don't want it to become the norm.
Not in some cool guy we're better than you way.
I don't need to debate or explain it anymore than that.
I enjoy many types of skating, from Busenitz to Alex Perleson to Enrique Lorenzo.
It's like a quirky band that somehow gets a little recognition, you liked it better before they made it, but then again, you want them to get by. It's a stupid personal thing for me.

It was creative like 5 or 6 years ago when the japanese guys from Far East Network started it (trick and filming wise), but I feel I?ve already watched that Leo Valls part 4 or 5 times in the past, it feels redundant and uncreative. I loved that cab line with the nollie flip, and the rest of the team, particularly vivien and jimmy, but Leo?s part feels like a forced mix of NY/Japanese skate caricature (brand new shining camo pants or cargo pants, sun hat etc...). I?m not a Leo hater, I was actually a fan of his Metropolitan part.
Love Magenta, but I'd love to see Leo do something really original and or creative
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfgNLZ3ps3g (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfgNLZ3ps3g) (this is 5 years old, and much more creative and more artistic)
-
This was the coolest thing I watched today and for everyone hating saying this sucks it's not meant to be the most gnarly thing on the web. For me it presents fun in skateboarding. Maybe it doesn't for you.
-
I loved it. For those who didn't, oh well. Magenta has their niche and they're sticking with it.
-
I love Magenta! This was RAD!
-
Wallie 180 revert was the raddest thing i have seen in a while!
-
Is Hill Street Blues pt. 2 online yet?
-
not hating but that bored the crap out of me. i get that there just skating to have fun and shit but i skate for fun too. and for me skating gaps and doing flip in flip out shit is fun. i aint tryin to be a pro skater or anything I just like getting better at skating
-
Valls on point again. Never know what that guy will do next in a line
A powerslide, or a variation of a similar theme?
-
Everyone gets tired of seeing the same "creative" trick after 2-3 times of it being done, but when its a nollie heel, or a bs smith, or whatever, theyre willing to to watch it millions of times in hundreds of different peoples videos. Its just fucking stupid to me, what makes for example a 1 footed bs 180 powerslide any less/different a trick then any other flatground trick? People just always hate what they don't understand.
-
a lot of people reading far too much into what person is wearing what pants.
this part is fun and makes you want to ride your skateboard really fast.
Leo is sick.
-

Hey there,
I don't open Chaz Ortiz threads because I know exactly what to expect of that kind of portrait of skateboarding: It's just not my cup of tea.
Magenta...? Yes it is.
Is one approach better than the other? Of course NO.
As b.v. put it - it's not debatable, it's a matter of taste.
I love Brussels Sprouts but I can't pretend to push 'em down the throats of my French Fries loving friends.
So let's all get stoked on whatever works for each one of us and support what really moves us.

Better doesn't have to be one step more or sliding an extra foot. It can be taking a trick to something you've never done it on, or doing stuff you aren't comfortable with in a line. Just because these guys aren't forwarding the "sport" of skateboarding doesn't mean they aren't necessarily skating for the same reasons that you are. That last trick was a perfect example... I can nollie flip but I could never do it at 20 mph.
-
skatings just dope
if you dont dig the style and what they are doing
check some other shit out
the editing was top notch guys
sick 90s hip hop and some graff
im backing it

This is exactly what I wanted to see. Looking forward to the Japanese video.

WOW THIS VIDEO WAS HIP AS FUCK! "CAMO AND CARGO PANTS"

Fucking rad, makes me want to skate around downtown with the boys. Of course this shits hip people, but not being into shit because heinous people are into it is fucked. You guys realize how many shitty people like tacos? doesn't make them any less delicious
-
ben gores nosegrind into the grate as the song does the warriors theme song was too good
-
Maybe a little too much b-roll footage of the subway and shit but overall it made me wanna skate. Mission accomplished, thanks dudes.
-
Sometimes you kind of forget that videos put out from board companies are trying to sell product. Its super obvious but sometimes that links sorts lost and you just get psyched on the skater and the trick. But this clip really makes me wanna buy a magenta board and back the team like I was 15 again. I also wanna skate super bad. 2013 looks like a good year so far, heaps of catching up to do from 2012 which was embarrassing.
-
As already said, different things get people hyped, and that is okay. I like this too but you don't have to be a street league fan or an idiot to enjoy to see some flip tricks and some hard tricks? I would give props to the filmer cause a line with 4 ollies wouldn't look that cool if it wasn't filmed/edited good... In my opinion Polar is doing almost the same thing, they're just doing it a little bit better (skating-wise).
P.S This isn't ground breaking at all haha, would say it's super mainstream to this time of skateboarding

i feel like a bunch of people told me that it is. but you know wood shops.. everything so hush hush.

Not sure, but I've heard that Traffic still does really well in other parts of the world and maybe that is what keeps Masaki Ui on Traffic.
Masaki is now flow for Magenta.

It was creative like 5 or 6 years ago when the japanese guys from Far East Network started it (trick and filming wise),
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfgNLZ3ps3g (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfgNLZ3ps3g) (this is 5 years old, and much more creative and more artistic)
yes, definitely borrowing heavy from the Japanese vids. ? I'm not entirely decided on whether Magenta's version is as "honest" as the guys out (far) east, but it is fun to watch. ? the Japanese videos (particularly Night Prowler) are great for the same reason City of Rats is great...local guys ripping local spots in ways only the spots allow. ? now, it's not fair to detract from Magenta just because they're not "locals", but it did give off more of a touristy vibe than their SF series of vids.
now, any of this is only worth typing because of the nitpicky debate going on...all that aside, Magenta = rad. ? the vid = rad. ? go about your business. yadda yadda yadda.

Just watched the whole video again and I want to say that it's one of my favorite edit of all time. Leo's part is so fucking incredible, (It was very inovative and so well done) and I noticed it was filmed in 11 days, after finally reading the description (!?!)
To me that is GAME CHANGING!
About what has been said here, I think It's pathetic to see skaters come here and complain about the fact that a video doesn't look like what they're use to see everyday (in other 1000 daily webclips). I think the industry really formated people's brains about how skateboarding should look (a sport with rules) in order to sell it to the masses; making them forget about all other aspects of it.

man i feel like a shill. but i guess i am...
al lot of the OPEN guys could go to Magenta..
and you guys can / could / should buy Magenta boards. love Magenta..
Magenta boards are made in Mexico.. Open boards are made by Pennswood.. outside of Pittburgh.. they employ some if not all the Panza bros.. so.. well magenta is legit.. Open boards are ACTUALLY MADE in the North East.. and we're hyped on it. costs us more. but we love it... think our boards are actually better.. just saying. .. try an Magenta board.. if you have some cash try an Open board... cause were out there..
Are these guys fucking up your sales or jocking your image, Panda? I see what you're saying in this post...
na man.. the open guys are homies with em. (obviously since most of then are in this new promo) just some slap heat..
generator is the only other wood shop id consider if i had to leave penns behind..
actually if someone could tell me whether generators wood shop is in mexico or not would be great. since generator doesn't return my calls.
i feel like a bunch of people told me that it is. but you know wood shops.. everything so hush hush.
Generator is in California, It's Bareback that is in Mexico.

Big L, Jeru, KRS One, and Guru should be barred from skate videos for the next few years. I love all their music, but still.

Generator is in Vista California, USA. Which is why on Magenta's catalogs it says "Made in USA" etc. etc.
Both are great woodshops..

The beginning half was edited like an opening and the stuff that came thereafter was pretty good.
Nothing really stood out except that metal pothole ollie. It all meshed together nicely.
More "real" hiphop, but it lends itself well to the vibe of magenta.
Im glad that it was short because toward the end some of the tricks started getting a tad repetitive.
Good cuts everywhere. The tight editing really made the video.

Vivien part in Static IV CONFIRMED!!!!
-
super stoked to see a small French brand make waves like that!
plus I've been riding a Magenta lately and I really like it.
The funny thing is how much street cred that board gave me the last time I walked into a skate shop haha.....my old ass felt all current and shit.
next I'm probably gonna try those one foot powerslides (when it finally stops snowing!!)

there's always has and always will be "fun" in skateboarding. why else would anyone do it? the whole comparing Magenta to Japanese skating thing was just brought up because the far east guys have been doing that style of trick/editing/spot selection for a while now and it's fun to see Magenta pick up on it and move it forward while currently in the spotlight.

AYO I HAVE ABOUT 8 TABS OPEN FOR REPLY, FUCK IT
I generally fuck with magenta, i dug every edit they brought out.
They represent a nice approach to skating and sw bs 5050ieng some small ledges in some narrow alleys accompanied by some ollies and powerslides at some decent speed, shits tight as fuck.
this shit shows they can if they want to, but dont fuck with flip in flip out shit on some big ass handrails, robotic style.
but this edit was mad corny!
there were some serious tricks innit, but overall i just remember some pops 'off the grid' type shit + powerslides while mongo pushing.
and don't get me wrong, i'm not begging for sw flip noseblunt courthouse drop or anything like that...

Lannon can ollie bump to bars and fire hydrants over and over and still make it look like the raddest thing every time. Only two clips though...and Zach Lyons clocking in with zero.
Full Jimmy Lannon part in Static IV would be incredible.

In order to 'get' Magenta you need to have gone to art school and dropped out cause it was bullshit... just kidding...I loved it!

its bright as fuuck but from what i've head it's not the most durable. i can see it getting hit and the shoe mount breaking so he just holds that shit now. just a mere speculation though
oh and this clip rules
i actually hit him up awhile ago on facebook. He told me he uses this light.

thanks dudes, case closed.

on one hand leo is one of the most pretentious skaters around on the other hand he s got a great style... anyways at least he and Magenta provoke opinions, thats more than you can say about most skaters and companies out there...

This is the best thing in skateboarding right now. Period.
