I didnt thought it was thaaaaat bad. I love careless whispers as cheesy as it is so that might help. Some fucked up techy shit went down for sure...
I think overall the graphics are a bit shit, but I kinda like shane's board.

Are most of these guys up n comers from AUS? The one that bs 360 kickflipped the bank to bank gap is really good, as is the newer Asian kid.

I wish the editing was less rapid-fire so I could remember their names.

Careless Whispers is just not a good song, even in irony.

Was really expecting something more exciting & impactful, though I’ll wait for another vid to fully judge.

Everyone should have been riding April boards in the video and not blanks. really bad idea for a whole board brand launch.

mareo · « **Reply #35 on:** May 15, 2019, 10:59:42 AM »

I liked the music selection, 4:3 HD, Shane and Yuto and the simple editing. The nollie inward heelflip fs noseslide nollie shove it out was super nice too. Was expecting a little bit more from Shane now that I think about it. But good start if you compare it to all the other new brands.

The one that did the bank to bank 360 kf was Ronnie Kessner, he’s from the U.s

To echo what someone said already, Yuto deserves better.

Lukabrazi · « **Reply #39 on:** May 15, 2019, 11:43:42 AM »

There was absolutely NO art direction / vibe / feel whatsoever during that edit. Great Skating, but for a "brand" launch. I would have expected to get a feel for the brand.

that logo is beyond horrific.

I just watched the 1st dude. He was sick but the next guy seemed meh. Ist dudes a legend tho.

I certainly hope they go out of business before they have time to put out another video.

He (currently) satisfies zero of the requirements to be a legend.

curbslayer · « **Reply #42 on:** May 15, 2019, 11:52:58 AM »

yuto street shit was cool just cuz i have never seen him not at street league. graphics suck. in a business scenes he will take over Asia and Australia. smart to launch over seas where competition is limited and the population is dense. primitive of the east

For you sure but im giving that guy props for beauty and perfection. Edit i get what u mean actually now. Ive been in europe for a year and 'legend' is slang there. Its different.

Sold Out · « **Reply #44 on:** May 15, 2019, 12:03:16 PM »

Not as bad as people made it out to be.
The Good:
-Yuto, Shane & Ronnie Kessner all had some really crazy skating in here.
-thought it was cool that it mixed in a bunch of unheard of dudes

The Bad:
-Agree the editing and music choices were bland.
-Their graphics leave a lot to be desired
-Their website looks like it was an afterthought or made by someone into an intro to website building at a community college

Terrible name for a board brand. Liked the edit skatewise.

Can't stand the way they introduce a name and then mix it up with clips from other dudes. I wanna know who's skating, not be busy trying to figure out which dude did which trick.

CRAILFISH TO REVERT · « **Reply #46 on:** May 15, 2019, 12:09:19 PM »

Yuto's street fits are proper.

Cool Ceith · « **Reply #47 on:** May 15, 2019, 12:15:07 PM »

This is a huge launch, but no thought went into the website at all. The boards have no description and there's not even an "About" or "Contact" page. $:-\$

I thought the same. No team page, no apparel either. I guess what probably took them so long was the riders to get footage?

that kai kid is dope

Andrefosho · « **Reply #51 on:** May 15, 2019, 01:35:48 PM »

Such random team. Guys in sweatpants pushing fat mongo with some 917/FA rejects. I wish this would felt better.

euro tm · « **Reply #52 on:** May 15, 2019, 01:41:05 PM »

felt more like a homie montage than a board company introduction which i think is way better. i liked it. maybe i’m bias because ronnie is the sickest. yuto with the meatball sub nose slide on a hubba was funny. nathan jackson rules too.

Swithflip · « **Reply #53 on:** May 15, 2019, 02:05:29 PM »

Yuto is the most robotic skater I ever seem.

botefdunn · « **Reply #54 on:** May 15, 2019, 02:15:53 PM »

Noah Nayef line was sick, Johnny Tang sighting was nice. This company strikes me as kind of a Birdhouse version of Primitive, lacking a certain type of flavour but at the same time there's a genuine love of skating and it doesn't seem overly ego-driven.

layzieyez · « **Reply #55 on:** May 15, 2019, 02:27:48 PM »

If numbers is still in business, this will continue to exist. If they were trying to be something else, chances are it would be an unsuccessful launch. I already liked this promo better than most of the numbers webisodes.

ha no way, i doubt this brand will make that much of a dent in Primitive sales

I love Shane's skating but I find it hilarious that a man with a horizontal line for a smile is now the founder and creative taste maker for a skateboard brand.

Yeah i'm really sure they are worried about yosef ratlef taking away from Tiago board sales.

Filming was good but that was about the only thing that was good about this video. Shane had over a year and this is the best he could come up with?

deathturd · « **Reply #59 on:** May 15, 2019, 02:41:07 PM »

Super psyched to see Nathan Jackson's name.
Nollie Shuv Nosegrind 180 was pretty incredible.
Is licensing a George Michael song really worth it though...
