Mark Suciu 'Verso'

[wurfnnjs]

Parts should really be at most 5-6 minutes long, Suciu could have used a lot of the less valuable footage for another part. Also, the whole thing just seemed a little pretentious. Just because Mark is the best, doesn't mean that he can say he is.

I just muted it for a rewatch to some classic Dino Jr and holy shit - the music lined up to almost every cut, even when the songs changed, it was fucked. I was able to handle the length a bit more with music I liked, but I 100% think this could have been cut to 5 minutes and it would be even more impactful.

Skating was next level, can't deny that.

Trying to match it up to any Guru, Boot Camp, Wu tracks. Any help greatly appresuciuated.

Black Moon Buck Em' Down remix? Seems like that might be a good option. Above the clouds Gangstarr?

I Used "How'd you pin that one on me", "Muck" and "Thumb" from Dino Jr Greenmind.

I'll work with any suggestions ya'll got. But with minimal effort since I'm editing on my phone haha

[dirty ol man]

milan line was the best for sure -- didn't see that fakie flip blind side up the tall ledge coming!

loved it a lot to process. lots of tricks done blocks away from mine which i was thrilled about.

major stoke.

[olympic sk8r]

if Whole Foods was a skateboarder, it'd be Mark Suciu.  He's extremely talented though

also hearing Playground Love reminded me of Dan Murphy and Tyler Tufty's part in Carolina Love

Thanks to Jenkem:

In rhetoric, chiasmus or, less commonly, chiasm (Latin term from Greek χίασμα, "crossing", from the Greek χιάζω, chiázō, "to shape like the letter Χ") is a "reversal of grammatical structures in successive phrases or clauses – but no repetition of words".

In the part you can see it on 9:47.
And after it goes like this:

50-50 -> Nollie Fs Heel 50 180
Nollie Croock -> Nollie Fs Flip 50 180
Nose Grind 180 -> Fakie Bs Flip Nose Grind 180
Nollie 180 5-0 -> Nolle Bs 180 50 180
Fakie Flip 50 180 - > Nose Grind 180
Sw Bs Flip 50 180 -> Fakie Croock
Nollie Bs Heel 50 180 -> 5050

[CreepySweaty]

Milan Line is magical.

I think my favorite tricks in this were ollies?
Like the pillar corner ollie to fake and the chained-up cellar door combo are perfect.

Mark I know you're reading this. Thanks for this 3-month, 10-minute epic. I loved it.

I didn't realize you were going to edit with a different song, I just thought you wanted something to play while watching it. 

I dunno how well rap will fit with Suciu... but it's worth a shot. My suggestions were ABD I think.

What about something like this...




Edit: dear lord that Jenkem article is incredibly pretentious. Got to the third paragraph before stopping. I don't want it to make me hate Suciu.

Yea,I mean that 96 Quite Bitter Beings track fits pretty damn good

[Burton Ernie]

Considering that Rohan noseblunt an ABD would be like considering a 5050 where you rode on top of the ledge halfway a make.

If you split the part between tricks 7 and 8, every trick is a mirror or comment on its counterpart. With exception of 6 and 9.

[beatifk]

I think Mark Suciu is combining skateboarding with some of that David-Blaine-street-trickery-levitation magic and that is what we're seeing. Because much of what I saw did not look physically nor mathematically possible.

[mattchew]

The audacity of some of you morons complaining that this was too long.

Slappers be slappin; skating will never change.

[Bumpovertrash]

Amazing part but i agree it could of been edited down considerably, still better then most everything else thats come out recently

[shannamal]

It's almost a flex that he made an unfuckwithable part with not one but two Beirut songs in 2019.

Next part should be Coldplay, Alison Kraus and Union Station, and then some audio of old Prairie Home Companion episodes

have you been looking at my spotify history?

[Madam, I'm Adam]

also hearing Playground Love reminded me of Dan Murphy and Tyler Tufty's part in Carolina Love

Also reminded me of Daddy Longlegs. I think Jerry's coming to cut my head off.

Part was next level of course. Really liked the backlip kickflip to regular and the front board 270 out. I'll probably watch it again.

[CreepySweaty]

He got like 4 enders. And then he got the ender-ender.

[Bristol_Palin]

As insane and mind melting as this video is, I wish it never came out so people would have kept complaining. I liked that. I thought it was fun.

Either way, amazing part that I will watch over and over. I'm glad it's raining today so I don't feel bad for watching this multiple times because some tricks are hard for me to fathom. Loved the in between man hole quick feet stuff.

[City of Drunken Totems]

Why are people comparing this to MJ's part in fully flared? while there was some obviously amazing classic MJ clips throughout it was mostly gross pudwill esque lipslide combo shit on berra style A-frame ledges, This is just straight up incredible tasteful skating.

Congrats on the boycott though guys, how long did that last?

[KoRnholio8]

dem spots got schooled, hard

[Shifty Flip]

192 people in photo/video right now. Is that a record? 122 guests. 62 members, 8 hidden.

Tasteful indeed.

Skateboarding's version of a burger from Minetta Tavern.

[Betaphenylethylalamine]

Loved it

Imo that's a instant classic.

The coolest trick, again imo was the front board up the rail 180 out the hard way. The way that was filmed looked unreal.

Worth the wait.

[JohnnySaintLethal]

Enjoyable, except that nollie heel sucui grind was super underwhelming as an ender. Those ledges, like someone said are a curb high. I wouldn’t mind in the middle of the video but as for an ender?

[ShyLow]

3 full parts here.
Section from 5:30 - 9:30 alone would have been in part of the year discussion.
Sphinx by La Femme is a song I've wanted to hear in a skate part for awhile.
Only thing I'd have liked to have seen is a bit of personality to break up the hammers and give it a better flow. Some reaction shots etc. Guess they were going for a different tone.
Impressive he was able to deliver on the huge expectations. 5 starz.

Can we all agree the 'ender' is the noseblunt at 9:20? The rest is an outro sequence.

And now I've heard it twice in 1 day 

[Switch FS K-Swiss Grind]

imagine getting kooked for 38 pages for delaying your part until it was hyped to the point you could never live up to it, and then still blowing everybody's mind and exceeding expectations.

Unless you're Milton Martinez, any footage you were saving to try get SOTY, you're best to save it for next year. It's Mark or Milton, for sure.
