attended the premiere tonight. the tricks were much higher caliber than i anticipated. not going to spoil it, but watching jordan maxham going for a few frontside flip attempts at el toro with epic 4k and ty evans filming was pretty amazing...
overall i thought it was a good film. the dubai footage was incredible. p-rod's narrations weren't that bad. the filming was top notch. ty had an arsenal of gear and it's obvious he used all of it.
this is the smallest thing, but the only thing i didn't like were the extreme wide angle shots. he used a lot of wide angle with the Red for filming lines, and instead of barrel distortion, it was like this really hideous stretching effect. maybe i'm just too used to fisheye barrel distortion but it made me kind of nauseous.
would watch again

So what is the slow motion high five to trick ratio in this, can you ballpark it?

I am not.

If inanimate objects could speak I imagine you would hear the title of this movie being chanted from Chase Gabor's toolbox all the time

This douche needs to go back to directing music videos Â

I like how one of the silhouettes in the banner ads they've been running is a 400 lb dude who def doesn't skate. Do you suppose Ty saw the irony of financing his film about brotherhood with cash from the same people who are treating the migrant workers like hamburger in modernizing Dubai? Or is that where the blood part comes from?
-
Reminds me of Road Less Traveled, which I prefer greatly over WaB, I feel like it captured more authentically the lifestyles of skateboarding with out crossing the line into corniness.
Speaking of corniness it seems to me after watching WaB if skateboarding is made too clean cut, that it actually starts crossing that thin line into corny territory, like with scooter kids, and longboarders.
I think skateboarding has to stay some what raw, and crusty to uphold its authentic appeal - because that's what set it apart in the first place. It's not like basketball, or golf, or any other sport, once it's all super HD and filmed by helicopters, it becomes just like anything else, and we become athlete jocks again.
I'm not saying that the feeling of brotherhood isn't there, but we don't need to exploit that quality of skateboarding, then it becomes phony.
I say just let the kids who need that escape from mainstream bullshit find skating, and let them discover the experience on their own without having this preconceived idea about it, that's why skating was rad for me, everyone else in life tells us how to behave, and think, and what to believe in, and skateboarding was this crack in the system where you could get away from it all, and just be yourself, and be the craziest fucking version of yourself, and feel fucking cool being you, and not feel pressure to fucking be just like john doe, just cause john doe is a well adjusted, and comfortably living member of the society.
Fuck the society, And fuck john doe! But to each their own :)
Ps. Perfect gift for babies first skate video!
Ps.ps. I am so grateful that Vans hired Greg Hunt to do the Vans video, good job Vans.
ps.ps.ps. Sorry for being so corny.

This seems like a good place to put this.
Tiago gets his first cover.
And no one cares. He's probably bummed. Bet he would have preferred to have a real trick.

So after watching this it's become 100% clear Ty is why the last couple of Crail videos were so blah. I would imagine this is already a sentiment, but now it's just painfully obvious. We can argue its the newer guys, the lack of the older guys, we can even say most of his vids were ok/good, but they would have been better if Meza would have handled them.
...and I'm not sure why, but exploring is way better to watch when the budget is smaller.
-
I haven't seen it, but after reading a mini interview on Chris Coulbourn, the interviewer said he heard that Chris has 2 parts worth of footage not used that's going to be put into parts on the bonus of the DVD. That sounds way more appealing than the actual movie, so I hope that's true of him and some of the other dudes in it.
-
Can't figure out why david loy got so much shine in this, don't think he did one trick. Funny to see the expressions on some guys faces when holding boards in the air, they just look super over it. I had to stop at 45 minutes last night and finish the rest today. But I'd say it was pretty good, I'll watch it again in a few weeks.

the itunes download is "dvd-style" with extras and shit, which are photo gallery, the rv road trip, behind the scenes china, behind the scenes dubai, and the trailer. i really hope there's some kind of bones released of just the skating, because it's pretty incredible.

Wow......Ty made a fucking movie.
I guess I'll download it when I get home. As much as Ty isn't liked, I still kind of dig his over the top stuff. I would imagine the places they went compliment his style.
-
It's gonna be popular to hate, but it's not that bad...rad skating anyway. It's exactly TITA and Art of Flight, but skateboarding, which makes me wonder how much input Curt Morgan had, because it's exactly his style.
They start off with Battery by Metallica, then the soundtrack goes to shit. Brain Farm always does that...first song, some good metal...then an hour of shit. I usually don't mind music. I appreciate music, and it REALLY can make a part extra good when it's on point, but it rarely ever bothers me. This one though...there were several times the music was distractingly bad. When are editors going to learn that just because a song might be good to edit to, doesn't make it good?
Also in Brain Farm fashion, there's an ender during the credits...don't miss that.
-
There was a Pappalardo cameo where he talks about still having the desire to skate even if hes not sponsored. Then he ollies off a ledge into a mellow bank or something.

so jordan maxham didnt land that frontside flip?

Why is Ty always mean muggin and fist pumpin in cheif keef stance?
-
I heard from a guy who heard from a guy who saw it and is a P Rod fan that the narrative gets old and because it sounds like a motivational speech for non-skaters to understand and get jazzed on how awesome skating and skaters are.
-
Just saw it. Without really getting into it, I found it entertaining enough. Definitely would be that video that skater's parents would love to see that would enlighten them on how this culture is. But if I was to really break it down, there was so much wrong as there was so much right. Skating was good and I loved how there was a blend of skaters that you'd never really see hanging out all in a van together. At times, it was like some epic Transworld video where a someone like P-Rod would skate with a guy like Clint Walker in a crazy place like Dubai. Then there were the things that were bad. Music was pretty lame, there were scenes that were only done for the epicness of capturing it (bench skating on the top of a building in Dubai) and things like the montage skaters falling just didn't add to anything and made the video way longer than it should. Wide angle lens thing was annoying but I found the drone captures cool when they weren't so high up in the air. I felt like this is how Ty wanted to film Pretty Sweet if he had the budget. Like have it even more major if he could of. Overall, it was worth a watch......not sure if it is worth the download price. Some good skating though even from people I don't care for.

anybody wanna make a rough guess at how much of this is quality skating?

Most of this was pretty painful to watch but the already large amount of respect I have for Brazilian skaters definitely got bigger after watching some of the crust those dudes have to work with.
-
lot more skating then I expected, liked the little segments with pops and the one of jt skating his highschool hubba. Not something you could watch before skating tho, had stop half way thru and finish later.

Multiple slowmo high fives, but a fucking shit ton of slowmo boards in the air and fist pump type things.
-
The skating was fucked, but I couldn't stop thinking how good it could have been without all the camera gizmos, voiceovers, and slow-mo. The Dew Tour plug was bad too.
If it was filmed with fisheye cameras with traditional parts it would have been so much better.
Clint Walker and Thiago Lemos really stood out for me. Chris Colburn too. Apparently he filmed two parts worth of footage over the course of the production.
It was like all of the worst aspects of Pretty Sweet all rolled into one.
The switch shuvit over one of the walls at Freedom was so sick! And Walker's 50-50/ hill bomb of death.
-
Sounds horrible...trailers gave away some shit goes down...thought this was supposed to be in the theaters and not a premier, so thats good.
-
Still gonna watch it, I love skateboarding so I can sit through some bullshit. Nothing new these days.
-
I heard Moose's part is really sick. Will probably download this today.
I hope we get a World's best dad from the premiere.
-
Watched it last night. Definitely worth the $12 to download. The voice overs were pretty lame and some of the music was crap but overall it was rad to see what a skate video can be like with an unlimited budget.
Overall the film is supposed to be made for skaters and non-skaters. I think it will likely get some kids into skating if they watch it which is a good thing.
Moose had the best overall footage and it was crazy to see how good Tiago is. If it's true that the DVD will have a full skate edit, I'm stoked for that as well
-
anybody wanna make a rough guess at how much of this is quality skating?
Well, the skating is definitely "quality" if you're talking about dudes pushing the bar and not Gino pushing down the street.
Some of the most insane fucking tricks that you see once via a drone flyover or far away steadicam shot that you don't even realize how crazy they are.
The one I'm thinking of in particular is Maxham does a nollie tre flip frontside 5-0 down a decent sized hubba. At least I think that's what I saw. Happens real quick, but is fucking gnarly.
The first few parts of the video were slow to me, but the China part is where it really picks up. Crazy skating. Clint does this frontside tailslide up a ledge to frontside flip out into the banked side of the ledge that is pretty sick. Hard to explain but definitely dope. Boo Johnson, Tiago Lemos, Jordan Maxham, Chase Webb all do some seriously sick shit.
however, if you're asking for a ratio of "minutes of video-to-amount of quality skating", I'd have to guess like 65% of it is quality skating, the other 35% is just p-rod waxing poetic.
Not a video for your "daily stoke" but definitely full of bangers or hammers or bingers or whirly-birds or whatever.
-
Do people have parts in it?
Or is it just a montage of skaters in different cities?
-
If anyone has a link it would be appreciated, don't really wanna spend 12 bucks on this without knowing what i'm getting into.

word, thanks. not buying it then, if im looking at about 30 mins of lifestyle shots and shit.

I bought it watched it twice probably won't watch again

Tiago Lemos!!!

Tiago Lemos!!!
Kind of want to see the video just to see his stuff. When they were in Birmingham, I got to witness him do some insane shit. Also, he was super nice and was approaching everyone he ran into.
-
Everyone here is taking crazy pills. This movie is unbearable. Couldn't figure out if it was trying to be a movie or a IMAX skate video. Starts out with a staged shot of P-Rod getting hit by a car ??? ??? "We see things differently". DRONES.
Bottom line: at least it had a slam section?
-
"We see things differently"
I hate that shit.
-
The inevitable result of Ty's direction. I guess if anyone was going to make that kind of film Ty was the best guy for it?
The Tiago Lemos footage made it worth while, so unbelievably good.
I wonder if anyone will ever make a really good feature length film set in the skateboarding world, like Street Dreams and Lords of Dogtown hahahah.
The way that darkslide was done made me not like it even though it was kinda sick.
-
never been a ty fan but the dubia part was sick. seems like the audience wasn't core but really so what. had some interesting use of drones. seems like there will be a lot more of that kind of thing in a few years.

i feel the only way it would work is if it took like a "Kids" sort of world view but focused more on the skating, or a washed up guy trying to cope like The Wrestler. Things that try to glorify it usually come out pretty cheesy. I'm sure if the right people got behind it a great movie could be made about the EMB scene or the mid-90's new york scene (which kids captured but took to an extreme).
-
Pretty much as bad as you would expect.
Skating is gnarly, but skating is gnarly in every big vid so what.
Music sucked,
montage vibe gets boring after one song,
80% of filming ended up detracting from the trick just to look more movie like - which in part is kinda ripping the skaters off,
worst part imo the fisheye on the camera looks like an absolute joke it doesn't make shit look big and distorts everything in the wrong way - people end up looking like aliens and it's almost nauseating.
Worth a watch to see what skating can look like through an expensive lense and through the eyes of someone who doesn't give a fuck about skating, but definitely not worth price of download. The mountain dew product placement throughout is fucking insane.
ps almost forgot also worth a watch for Tiago pop, tricks and style DAMN
-
In the trailer P-Rod had taken on some lame Rob Dyrdek 'quasi' epic tone.
I'm guessing the film is even worse.
I promise I will never watch this soccer mom production
-
Tiago, Chris Colbourn, and Clint Walker had the best shit. Top quality skating.

I'm curious about Tiago Lemos part.
-
Top quality skating.
This right here. I really liked it. Overall some heavy shit from dudes I don't normally go out of my way to see. Jordan Maxham is really good. I also rewatched Omar's speed line in the beginning a few times. All he's doing is carving, but the way it's shot it feels like you're hauling ass next to him. And talk about spot porn. Man oh man there are some beautiful spots throughout.
EDIT: HD also shows you in vivid detail the physical price some of these cats paid to get tricks. There is a nasty slam section.
-
it sounds like something that could be easily parodied. someone should make one with over the top narration and crazy camera work. "every second of skateboarding is like a second in a mixed-martial arts ring. skateboarding is a brutal and punishing sport. they do it for the glory, for the fame, and for the sense of satisfaction that comes from landing an insane trick. are you ready to bleed for skateboarding? 'cause if you're not, you might as well not even start."
-
Was about to buy this, then I watched the trailer for the second time, changed my mind. Have a bad hangover and the slo mo shots gave me a fair amount of nausea :(
-
I'm 20 minutes in and I just came here to say the video is worth the asking price just to see all the ridiculous shit Tiago is getting up to
-
Link or die

Second watch through, I've decided this video is pretty sick, even though it's heavy handed and sappy.
There is definitely insane skating, and i'm sure that when these dudes were on these trips it was fucking fun.
If anyone is still curious, there are no individual skaters' parts, it's all location-based parts. China, Dubai, Midwest road trip, Brazil, LA, etc. Tiago does have a small spotlight part in the Brazil section, but overall it's all location-based.
Also, they went to Skatopia, which is pretty sick. And they pick up Jamie Thomas at some point before that, so you know that the permission to rip was indeed granted. And by the way, Chief is still ripping. Dude is 39 and not scared of handrails. That's some shit. I'm 36 and keep it pretty low key these days. To see a dude pushing 40 still killing some of the gnarly spots is pretty inspiring.
Hate if you want, some of it is warranted. But it IS a good video.
-
The voiceover makes me visibly cringe. I was embarrassed watching while my girlfriend was sitting beside me.
-
I'm a camera nerd, so all the silly drones/slow mo/gimbal stuff doesn't bother me, but the narration is woeful. P Rod sounds like Kevin Arnold from the 'Wonder Years' and what he says is beyond insipid.
BUT
The skating and visuals are insane. I'm over vx1000 and death lens, so watching this in HD on a 80" TV was pretty fucking rad. The only problem I had with it was how it was edited, seriously, it's as tight as a Zero video, like you barely see the roll up/roll away. It would've been nice to see more of that, and they use too many second angles - like they have a quarter of the trick from one angle and then cut to another angle, it gets tiresome over such a long film.
But it's worth the money, and it's raised the bar for skate videos. People will now take this and make something amazing, not amazing and also cringeworthy.
-
Looks interesting. I've never asked this before, but please make me aware of any updates on the availability of this skate production beyond iTunes?
-
i cant believe they spent all that money and time and used that weird fisheye crap. it looks so terrible, basically any shot with it didnt even register. a lot of the angles and skating were really good tho

i can't watch shit that's filmed like this
can't tell you i'll be watching it again
-
It's not filmed good, every shot has to be slow panning left or right it get so unoriginal and lame after 5 minutes. There's no style it's super bland. Maybe compared to most skate videos long lens filming it's filmed pretty good, but any actual cinematographer seeing this would think it looked like a budget MTV video. Put this camera/30x drones at once in countless other filmers hands and I guarantee you'll see a skate video more interesting and stylish. Tiago is so fucking sick. Switch shuv switch bs tail sits on it. Â I want to make a re-edit of just his footage but I can't sit through the thing again trying to find it all.

-
i actually didnt hate it as much as i expected. i cannot stand those wideangle shots though, and as amazing as the skating was i am pretty sure i`ll never find a reason to watch it again.
that being said, every single person that used to skate or never stood on a board is gonna freaking love that movie. and then go back to kicking you out of every spot.
-
ive gotten half way through... Skatings good everything else is dreadful
-
-A review of this video would need to be entirely capitalized to convey how exhausting it was to watch and hear
-but that would be obnoxious
-I've only seen it once, at the second screening in DTLA so I can't analyze it but it was memorable: the skating, skaters, locations
-Ironically, the first thing I thought after a few minutes into the intro: on one hand highest available picture quality, interesting camera placement/movement/angles ...
then, comparatively, the leanest cuts I've ever seen between tricks.
-The post production editing removed the rhythm of watching skating on screen throughout most of the video but there are some great moments
-I think you'll need the Dew in your system to bring you up to a baseline processing speed to appreciate the production
-It must be in your blood at the molecular level intercepting synaptic activity, which was shown in cgi during the opening of the film
-"We are blood" is what the advertising behind MD is telling you, it's what your vascular system craves
-Remembering tricks: someone back 50s that long curved rail in sacramento with clean camera panning
-Biebel's nollie back heel attempts over picnic table
-clint walker's body varials
-jordan maxham's feeble transfer
-omar is a favorite to watch, doing a ditch speed run with a few pops and a manual made this worth my time
-more irony, the slam section was the most satisfying montage
-Dubai: "what the fuck is humanity up to?"
-Heard muffled laughter after Brandon White's first audible appearance
-20% of attendees get up and leave as soon as credits roll, missing interesting stuff and the darkslide at Uni High

Watch it and Tiago Lemos will be your favorite skater.

I have less of a problem with this because I don't really view it as a skate video, and it's definitely WAY better than Pretty Sweet which was supposed to be a skate video. It kind of comes across as a skateboard episode of Human Planet with a bad voice over (seriously, leave that shit to the Richard Attenboroughs of the world. They're better at it.) but I don't really see the hate as being justified because I don't see this as necessarily being meant for skateboarders. It's a presentation of skateboarding around the world for everyone else.
Ty, it's time to leave skateboarding and go direct a big motion picture. I think you'd do very well at that.
I agree it being somewhat of a Animal Planet documentary. Ty's is like trying to create a story but it didn't come off as organic and seemed way too planned out. But seeing how this was funded by Mountain Dew and not a core skateboard company, it makes sense.
I do love how there were so many odd cameos in this film from Pops, Ramondetta, Nyjah, Forest, Torey, Jesus Fernandez, old man kickflipping, etc.

pretty much. it was obviously not meant to be core. i imagine for kids who are 8-12 and have the sports kind of parents this video could be like this generations THPS and get a lot of kids who otherwise wouldn't get into skating into it and that doesn't seem like a bad thing.
i also didn't find it as annoying as ty's crail work but i think that's because it was the "zaney" stuff that bugged me in those videos more than the music and slow mo high fives.

the filming on that was so good. really captured how fast he was going and worked well with the drones footage.
clint's hill bomb on the building in dubia was pretty incredible too. that 5050 was so unnecessary and if he stuck or slipped out he could have easily gone off the death drop.

Tiago is a lot better than Iqui. On this Gold part he was filming for We are Blood section, and was injury. If you watch another Iqui part will see him dont give a bag of tricks. Tiago is unlimited talent.

Omar hauling balls down that ditch making pine cones his bitch gave me a boner.
All of the Omar was my favorite part. I'd never heard of Tiago til this. I'm paying attention.

tiago is more raw with his skating/power, iqui looks forced but is still a good watch.

had the pleasure to meet and skate with Tiago recently and I was stoked to see that he is one of the nicest and most respectable dudes I've meet in a long time. His dedication a drive for skating is ridiculous. He's the guy who has to stop filming a trick because the filmer gets to tired. ( I saw it happen in person ) He truly is a beast, stoked this movie has helped him out and is starting to get him the money he deserves

Tiago has the best section in the whole video. Gnaly tricks and good idea. Buts hiper slowmotion edit is lame.

Lemos is the only reason to watch this

and Chris! His style has matured so much since I used to skate with him in VT. I could watch that kid skate all day doing basic shit and never get sick of it
-
It's extremely corny but that's expected with Paul as narrator and Ty as producer/editor. The entire thing felt like one gigantic commercial. Skateboarding was great but overproduced
-
It's not filmed good, every shot has to be slow panning left or right it get so unoriginal and lame after 5 minutes. There's no style it's super bland. Maybe compared to most skate videos long lens filming it's filmed pretty good, but any actual cinematographer seeing this would think it looked like a budget MTV video. Put this camera/30x drones at once in countless other filmers hands and I guarantee you'll see a skate video more interesting and stylish. Tiago is so fucking sick. Switch shuv switch bs tail sits on it. � I want to make a re-edit of just his footage but I can't sit through the thing again trying to find it all.
this

I was expecting a giant turd like pretty sweet but I actually enjoyed the shit out of it. The sections are all really good and the cities get a lot of shine. The Dubai section was awesome. If you like traveling you'll dig that.
I'm not going to bitch that roger deakins didn't do the cinematography. It's a damn road trip video and the skating is absolutely fucked.
-
It was pretty much exactly what I imagined it would be. Crazy skating though! It was funny how it was almost like a Zero video with the fast paced editing.
All in all, it's a fun watch if you take it for what it is. The dude who said it's the skateboarding version of Art of Flight is spot on.
-
The dude who said it's the skateboarding version of Art of Flight is spot on.
That was their intention. Same production company.
At first I was wigging on it, Paul getting hit by the car and the whole narration thing had me laughing at first, but at the end of the day it was pretty good. If you like to travel, you'll like it. It's almost as much of a travel video as a skate video.
They really need to get a fisheye for RED cameras though. That wide-angle business is nauseating. Especially the way Ty films it...most apparent in the LA section...like from in front of them going backwards down the stairs. Not digging that.
Loved the random Pops section. One trick. "People still think I'm pro". Picking up garbage. Fucking brilliant.
Chief got buck on that rail too. Loved his section.
Dubai part was fucking gnarly but obviously also literally an advertisement for "X Dubai" or whatever that company was (maybe just Dubai tourism?). A couple of the tricks they were even wearing X Dubai hats.
Overall way better than I expected, not really a skate video but more of a super extremely overproduced tour video.
-
I enjoyed it alot more than i expected. A bit cliche at times with the narrating and all but the skating was good and the spots were great. Clint walker and Colburn ripped but Tiago made this video, he killed it.
Everytime the angle switched to fisheye it looked like a replay from EA Skate, especially in lines. looks terrible.
-
I went in expecting this to be dogshit corny but was still interested none the less.
On seeing several Mountain Dew logos in the opening sequence, I grabbed a bit of paper and started jotting down each time I saw a MD logo or bottle. My tally was pretty conservative as I wasn't pausing at all and I felt like there were constant subliminal flashes under boards etc.
I counted 90 logos from start to finish. It could well have been double that though.
In the end it was pretty entertaining. Weird but entertaining. P-Rod read from a book of cliches but the skating was insanity and I liked the ultra HD footage. Looked great on a TV with surround sound. I probably wouldn't bother watching it on a laptop or small screen.
Clint Walker will be your new favourite skater after this. It is worth watching just for his footage (which there is lots of). As mentioned, Tiago dude is crazy as well.
Skateboarding is really weird in 2015.
-
Finally got around to watching this...Was pretty drunk and stoned and the editing was actually tolerable for me in that state of mind. Music wasn't to bad and P-rod's wonder years voice over wasn't that annoying.
Tiago and Clint fucking owned it

The wide angle look was fine when the skater was dead in center of frame. It just looked odd when they were toward the edges of it. That was when they looked all crazy.
I watched it again yesterday and started pointing out things I liked. The drone shot of Clint skating that thing in Dubai was really sick. There really would be no other way to capture that unless you were doing it in a helicopter. It almost had the same effect as Danny's DC part with the mega.
Still.....too many bad things that cancelled out the good ones. I thought the intro where P-Rod got hit by a car was dumb, slam section should have been left out, P-Rod should have had his dad talk in it and all that "I am a skateboarder" or "That was so fun" comments seemed sort of purposely put in. But that skatepark that was underneath the ground was a really cool thing to see.

the run time is an hour and a half so that equals out to a logo per minute. I haven't seen it yet, so are we talking logo tshirts and hats? or clever product placement? I honestly have no problem with logo shirts, or even a billboard in the background of a shot, but what I do have a problem with is blatant product placement like that "game of skate," between p.rod and carlos ribeiro. that was pretty sickening. I don't remember a single trick from that, all I remember is the terrible product placement.
-
Bought it today before lunch and rather quite enjoyed it. I liked that every city got it's own part with guys just killing it there instead of here's Jordan's part, here's Clint's part etc. It really showed just how different cities can be whereas with traditional parts you're kinda left wondering where is that perfect looking ledge or that amazing 9 stair. Some of the filming is truly nuts like the granite quarry. Just things you wouldn't ever consider. Tiago Lemos was probably the standout skater in this video for me. The P Rod voice over was a little gimicky, maybe if they had had other skaters saying the same lines it would've helped.
-
what is the soundtrack looking like?
-
This was way better than I thought it would be.
The skating was really good.
Tiago fucking kills it, Clint also came through strong, also Paul through down.
It was obviously made for a broader audience.
and while it was cheesy at times, it could have been way worse.
If someone has to be the face of skateboarding for the public
Paul is a good choice, better than Nyjah.
-
what is the soundtrack looking like?
From what I can remember ...as I was drunk last night
Metallica - Battery is the intro
José González/The Knife- Heatbeats
-
also, to give credit where it is due...all the guys like Tiago, Jordan, Clint etc do indeed murder it...but after watching it a couple times i have to say that chase webb fucking rips. i dont know much about him other than he used to be a little kid friend of nyjah. he does some incredible stuff on all kinds of terrain. maybe he's not so bad.
still dont know why the hell david loy was in the RV. dont think he had one trick.
-
I only watched it once, I may be wrong.
So this is not a fact but just a question for all of you.
Did you guys saw any person skating adidas in the film...?
-
I only made it through half so far and you guys are really downplaying how bad this crap is. Filming is terrible. Period. Fuck your wide-angle.
I could rant for hours, but the gist of it is, that this is terrible from a skater's point of view and from a non-skater's point of view. And seeing how this is indeed an 1:30h long dew commercial, this should be distributed for free.
-
i thought the berrics behind the camera shit was interesting, at least part one.
-
tiago lemos is the fucking truth.
switch flip bs tail flip out down a rail
10 meters switch flip bs tail thru a corner
fakie flip fakie 5-0 fakie front shov.
hope he doesnt get cought up in the mountain dew bullshit.
Won't be long till he leaves boulevard i think (unfortunately)
why wasnt his switch front crook on the belmont ledges in there?
sorry im a fan

A mix of half product placement and half dudes who are living the dew

Finally watched it after sending it to half slap! :D
Man, that shit was corny... If it wasnt the high level of skating i would shut that off.
The part were they talk about the P.rod and the Dew Tour was beyond cringeworthy. The people beyond him, the speech, also the Pops part, along with so many shit that i could talk for hours.
Music was bad (i liked battery in the beginning tho), but that was expected.
The filming wasnt as bad as i thought, aside from the wide angle stuff (which i can deal with) it was decent...
Guys like Tiago, Clint, Jordan, Clive were what kept me interested (Chris Colburn was a great surprise too)... that were really fucked up tricks in there!
My favourite part was the Brazil section. I have lots of respect by those people... So many challenges in their lifes and they downright rip. (Muito respeito por voces irm�os brasileiros! Da hora!)
Overall, i dont think i will watch that again, at least all of it, maybe some sections. I know kids, the target audience, will eat this up but is not for me... Somebody do a Remix of that and get rid out of the crap!

I just want my voice to be heard so badly.

I guarantee every fool on here who says they wont watch this will at some point. Corny shit or not every documentary that's ever been made about skating has had corny shit. Someone please just give me one sentence of dialogue saying how much you love skating without sounding corny. Professing devotion to anything is gonna sound corny....just sayin' and no I haven't seen it yet...but I'm sure I'll get bored enough at some point...the pretension and BS on here is unbelievable sometimes. 1-2-3-KOOK!

I haven't been able to watch this but I have an old friend who filmed with Ty at one point or another...
Did anyone catch someone cab-flip that famous gap-ditch spot that arto switch back 180'd for a mag cover? Hoping that trick made it in the film.

That Pops part made it worth it.

1. tiago is ridiculous
2. clint is ridiculous
3. i forgot that p-rod is really good
4. surprisingly, seeing a bunch of people break their ankles doesn't get me hyped to skate
5. ty, you can shoot your next video in 10k on a red super mega dragon 9000 cam and it will still look fucking terrible if you keep using these idiotic wide angle non-fish lenses. basically any dslr can produce better looking footage than this.
-
Understanding that Ty was tired of doing the same stuff was the reason he went with that Arri 8r as his lens for "fisheye" shots makes sense to me. I would way rather have seen him do something unique even if it does seem weird to the skate audience.
Really tho the work Ty does is something he knows that a lot of people won't like. Your gonna either love it or hate it. But at the end of the day at least its something new instead of seeing the same types of footage constantly. Everyone will keep on finding reasons they don't like and and will post away but at the end of the day his movies are remembered more then a lot of others for a reason.
-
yea thats all good but when it is that glaringly obvious...
i am all for ty trying new shit in skating, but that type of lens just plain looks bad. same when dan wolfe did it a couple years ago. why couldnt he use the same gimbal setup but use a lens with normal distortion? that alone made the video twice as unwatchable, easily the worst thing about it
-
its something new

laugh all you will its a visual perspective that we have not seen in skateboarding, I understand why a lot of people would not want to see it the way it was and thats fine, I can totally see where they are coming from. My only point is that, either people love it or hate it you can still appreciate that he is trying to push how skating can be filmed.
If it wasn't for Ty you wouldn't even be watching HD skateboarding the way we are now. The entire Hvx/Hpx with that Xtreme fisheye are only around because of Ty. He had a Partnership with Panasonic and he is the one who got Century Optics to make that lens

There's nothing new or creative in there, every extreme sports gopro/redbull video have been using the same filming and editing techniques since 2005, making skateboarding mainstream as fuck a new perspective? jesus dude.
-
^ Nothing new. Ty has been doing exactly the same thing all of his career and this seems like the final destination for his style.
The main problem is that he is a one trick pony. He films everything with the latest equipment and edits it as fireworks. He has no sense of narrative or tone. Of course, if he needs to portray something on top of a hotel in Dubai I guess that his way is the right approach. But he shouldn't do the same with Pappalardo's section. There is no rhythm just a repetitive heavy beat.
In film storytelling if you have to rely on the dialogue to tell the story then you are not using the images properly. All the narration in We Are Blood sounds fake because the images don't translate that message of family, unity and seeing things differently. It has images filmed the same way as every other extreme action sport and some voice over going on about those things.
Tiago is a beast and those two guys Colburn and Maxham seem genuine.
For me it is not an enjoyable film and I believe that it also fails to depict skateboarding for any kind of audiences that is allegedly supposed to cater to. It is just a hotchpotch of dessert karts, skydiving and useless wooden toys.
-
Ty is a stupid idiot for making it seem like skateboarders love to set fire to skate spots to quicken the drying process ... hopefully we will not become a fire hazard in the eyes of public. And it's pretty damn obvious why he did it - for cinematic whoring out, which is pathetic.
And most of the skate shots were not good at all ... you could he see he was trying really hard to innovate, but the result is just underwhelming (even with hard tricks).
-
Is the video out?

Should have called it Get Me Blud and it would clean up.

I cant send the link to the User "Debow's Chain", it reports an error... I have posted the link here but it got deleted so i cant send it to you. It's already on Pirate bay so you just need to search a bit.

I actually think the visuals do a great job of telling the story, the problem is the narration is ham-fisted and redundant. Ty shows a bunch of shots of architecture that is perfect for skating and then PRod comes on and tells us about how the architecture is perfect for skating. Motherfucker, I know. I saw it. Or the ending, where there's an amazing overhead shot of hundreds of people skating together and PRod reminds us that we come from different places but skateboarding unites it. Yeah, that's literally what the shot was saying, just in a more visual and less corny and cliched way. There's definitely an amazing skate video hiding in there somewhere, but right now it's pretty much the skateboarding equivalent of the theatrical cut of Blade Runner. I hope we get the raw footy down the line.

Oh look, Ty doesn't have a monopoly on selling corny shit on the internet! At least this product serves a purpose:

It was obviously corny but I was expecting it to be a lot worse. The skating was fucked
-
it's 95% terrible.. the worst part is that even the incredible skating is ruined by the fisheye and the editing
and even though pops seems to be out skating a lot on his instagram he looks pretty uncomfortable just pushing..

I agree. I think the main problem with Ty is he's always taking quantity over quality. He tries too hard to show off his new toys and in doing it he forgets to think about what actually looks best. He has bad taste. In my opinion Russell Houghton is the new Ty Evans. He actually has creative ideas and uses new camera technology to make them happen, while Ty just uses mediocre ideas to show off his camera technology.
-
Finally sat down and watched this and yeah, wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting. Corny moments here and there, but the skating definitely made up for it. I was actually able to get through it in one sitting. Fucking Tiago!! That guy is on another level. Imagine if we got all of his footage (and the other dudes) raw? He had enough tricks in that video for probably a 6-8 minute insanely good video part.

I didn't know that about the lense. That kinda makes it worse, because the lense looks like absolute ass. You can have a better looking fisheye hd setup for under 2g's if that's what your into .

I guess if he had the budget and no constraints a filmer might want to make an hour and a half video....but it was a lot like a vivid porno movie...
after barbarians at the gate was made....coming out with a video to show what skateboardings all about is a waste of time....
I'll spoil it for you guys but the endear is skating a bench on the highest building in the world.....total NBD stuff.....

Peter Romondeta kick flip was insane.
"C'mon guys" Josh Kalis.

Tiago is easily the best thing out of Brazil since Teixeira, watching him skate was well worth it!
-
Like said before, the fisheye looks horrible, and it makes no sense that they use it that much. The narrations were awful, they said basically the same corny shit over and over again. Other than that it wasn't bad at all. Skating was amazing, clive and tiago were my favorites. Filming was decent, while in pretty sweet it felt like they didn't know what they were doing half the time. Editing didn't really work so well with such a long clip, gave me a headache. Ending was super lame, you need to end with the bangers.

Great way to put it. The actual skating reminded me of an old transworld montage, which is fucking great, but spare me the P-rod script and repetitive landscapes.

I thought it was a great video. The best part about transworld videos are the montages and this whole video was pretty much just sick montages. The skating was amazing. I actually didn't mind the filming. At least It's something different. Just 'cause it's different doesn't mean it's bad. Even if you don't like the cinematography, filming, and editing, the skating alone is worth it. You people make it sound like it's an hour and a half of drone shots and Paul talking about skateboarding. Sure, there's some cheesy commentary but not as much everyone's making it out to be.
-
been watching it all week. the dubai part is so good. really like the part where the skate on top of the concrete things in the desert. seems like it'd be so easy to get worked on those and they did some creative stuff with it.

Just watched it.
When there was skating it was sick. Skating was sick, filming was good (except the overdose of bro hugs,cheering and high fives in some parts.). I really liked the random footage from the cities.
When there was talking it was cringeworthy. Man that shit was forced and full of cliches, it was killing me. Also the shenanigans yelled fake all over the place and showed that these dudes are not close and they were just thrown in a van and got paid to hang together and skate. You could see they were awkward.
-
10 minutes in and only thing I can think of is how much I hate that weird fisheye, wtf is that shit?
-
Watched it yesterday, it was alright. That mountain dew stuff that was thrown in made me laugh.
Ty will never top Fully Flared though.

just out of curiosity is there a decent amount of Omar footage in this? If there is I'd consider getting it
-
If you guys want to watch a skateboarding doc made right, watch PUSHED by Florian Schneider.. I just rented it on iTunes for 3 bucks and its the best doc I've seen on skating, that really gets at what it means to different skaters without being corny. Especially enjoyed the pontus alb and bobby Puleo footage!
-
tried to watch it twice today, made it to the china section, could't bring myself to sit through the whole thing. maybe i'm getting old. all that epic shots, drones, the talking... nah.
-
I know I'll watch it eventually but it would be awesome to have an edit of just whatever skating is in there, minus the whole embarrassing, "making skateboarding appeal to soccer moms" (ie: MONEY!!!) kick that Ty's on. Quartersnacks? Manolo? Do your stuff, dudes.

There was some good skating but nothing I'd watch many times. It's more a video that you see at a sports bar in Vegas then something that gets you amped to go skate.

Chris Colbourn has just been initiated into the fucking defunct League of Nations after that showing!
Tiago as well. :-*
Everyone who can't "make it through", just shut-up a watch it for what it is: really good skating shot fairly well (it's Brainfarm, what did you expect, Tent City?).
No need to turn this thing into a philosophical issue, we all know the facts, watch it & feel better if you bootlegged it.

I've watched it a couple times now. However I only watch the international parts since the second full time through. I watch them a lot. Those sections in Brazil, Barcelona, China and Dubai are incredible, especially the way the landscapes are shot. The skating in those sections is incredible too. I don't really like the stuff in the caravan because it feels forced.
I also on the fence that the deaf guy is there...sounds mean I know. Not because he is deaf but because he is kind of used as an emotional prop for the moms and dads who might watch. He isn't exactly the caliber of the other skaters to put it nicely. But it's cool he got such a rad opportunity even if he is exploited for the narrative
Also Tiago's switch shuv 5-0 fs shuv out on that chest high ledge....has that even been done regular? Holy shit

Felt like watching a skateboarding version of Fast & Furious. Must be fun to watch on a movie theater screen

I feel the same way, Sheldon Meleshinski skated his whole life with one eye and noone treated him different or turned him pro because of it. I'm sure there are a million more examples.

That's the section I've watched the most. Spain and Brazil are also pretty sick.

everything I head "it's in our blood"...I thought of this
INNERSPACE - Trailer ( 1987 ) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLAbTbGQcr8#)
the omar shots are the highlight

Can't you just rent this shit? Link me bruv's

just finished it today. a lot better than i thought it was going to be. chief footage was awesome. hes ripping so hard for someone whos 40. colbourn is really good. tiago stole the show in my opinion. that guy is a machine. i think it was worth sitting through just for the dubai footage. clint walkers room bomb was ridiculous. the skating on that helicoptor pad made me pretty nervous. i dont think i could skate up there. dont know if ill watch it again many times, but it was definitely worth sitting through.

Worst injury hes ever had was a sprained ankle...is he lying???

Im not basing it off of anything but i was always under the impression Paul Rodriguez kept his injuries a secret under some marketing grand scheme, some "forever young" shit. no way a skater in that caliber never got injured... even if he was training in a gym building muscle strength and did everything right.

what the fuck...he's really laying that golden boy mentality on a bit too thick.

I believe him. He has stated before that we doesn't take risks and ups the risk of his trick very gradually as in getting a trick on lock over a 3 stair, then 4 stair etc. And you can easily see it in his footage, there's never been any risky terrain, only perfect cali spots (benches and stairs).
