Mark Suciu 'Verso'

[CorneliusCardew]

Great part but not quite perfect... still needs some work or maybe less work...maybe they can publish a second edition...I see why they held it back...it feels like it's missing something... like they built the whole thing and misplaced the keystone

[honey island]

he's basically the jonathan franzen of, actually you know what, i have no idea where i was going with this, but it wasn't good.

*bangs gavel*

[SneakySecrets]

Never thought I’d be able to say that I can do a Mark Suciu ender.

[ice nine]

seriously it got delayed again? embarrassing

[waltercronkite]

You can definitely tell who his influences are in Dennis and pj.

Loved all the no push lines and haven’t seen anyone bring it up but that front feeble front 180 out on the round rail was pretty fucking perfect

Can’t help but to think that some people are just purposely nitpicking but to each their own.

Finally much love to the haymarket hardflip and backside bigspin. Not sure it translates on screen how hard that spot is

Karl Watson too (a lot of his revert tricks)

[schralp pal]

Funny - I’d rather watch bledsoe skate than watch suciu, and I’d rather watch kb over austyn.

Skateboarding is the best.

[dirty ol man]

does verso evoke a similar level of shock as cross continental?

[The Ghost of Lenny Kirk]

verso had a lot of homages to the editing of dylans alien part.

something about the beirut songs feel like a reference to san jose but i dont know why. 

the skating itself felt like seeing jerrys bag of suck part on some powerful steroids, sometimes it struts that thin line of simple vs technical, other times its complete overkill. a guy might have one of these tricks in his part and call it a day but he has dozens of them.

felt similar to MJs fully flared part but not necessarily due to the length but the amount of references and effort he put into making it. its nice to see some actual effort by a skater to make something worthwhile instead of shitting out a product just to do it.

not really sure how i feel about it overall, hes so skilled he can pretty much skate at any tempo. if it was a 1 or 2 minutes shorter it would probably clarify a lot of what he was trying to do.

The thoughts of everyone in the FA/Hockey camp as they saw their shot at SOTY in 2019 leave existence.

That Mark part made TJs blessed part look like a man to a boy.

[Tyroneshoelaces]

also, alot of bitching about the phenomenal edit and filming.  if this was edited like a 2004 zero video you would be having fucking aneurysm. 

[GeorgeCostanza]

Shoutout to the guy in the jenkem comments who said "poetry is Stevie Williams grabbing his fucking nuts" - he gets it

Also thought it was funny to put so much emphasis on back noseblunt on blubba when Rohan did that maybe 13 years ago.

[close]

ugh did he really though?

[close]

If I recall it was mad booger and to fakie.

My point is that we’ve already seen it. Of course suciu did it better but why would you put so much emphasis on it when someone basically did it, albeit not as good, 15 years ago (alphabet city came out in 2004)

My critiques of the part are with his editor, not the skating. Too long, too much filler, tough music choices, and put together strangely.

If this were 3.5 minutes of the best footage in there,  and then a 7 minute raw footage clip was released after, it would have been so much better.

Less is more in this case.

That back noseblunt slide is in the middle of the ledge

they put emphasis on it because of how well it was executed, aka style matters.
Not to ding how gnar that is that Billy did it, especially several years ago, but there's really no comparison

Rohan's isn't even really a noseblunt-- a backside nose power slide. 

[able]

Haha! He called Rohan’s back noseblunt “mad booger” 🤣

[HugeBodBoyle]

I watched it again. Still good. Wife even watched it with me and did not complain.

[anillusionofthepants]

How about the bait and "switch" he pulls off in the NYC section at that double set?
I'm defining it as when someone sets up their own banger by doing lesser tricks at the same spot.

He does 4 tricks:
Nollie
BS Flip
Varial Heel
*boom* SW Treflip!

It only makes sense if you play along and believe there's a linear ranking of difficulty per trick (like how Street League attempts to judge skateboarding).
Another example could be Paul Rodriguez in In Bloom when he kickflips over a ~13 stair rail but then later switch flips a 13 stair.

[jakeumms]

It's dope that the inflection point for the ABBA section is in the same line. Maybe I got it wrong but something like nollie front 180 switch 5-0 revert then nollie back 180 fakie 5-0 revert.

[skate_or_dingus]

HOLY SHIT. Choo Choo definitely delivered.

 Had to rewind the cellar door multi-ollie and the Flushing clip multiple times.

[DannyDee]

Never thought it could live up to the hype, but it did.

[HyenaChaser]

I did not like the music.

I did like the skateboarding.

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

need to quote this guy

[close]

literally nobody cares about this dumb fugue

I swear to god... coming from a dude whose personality is defined by reading books yet only read novellas

this is some insufferable nerdy stuff

[close]

I definitely care.

[close]

i care.

I think it's pretty incredible. Mirror lines are sick, but mapping out a 7 line poem is something no one's done before...

[urbneathme]

motherfucker doesn’t tic tac once in 11 minutes. he straight up has one flaw in that department - coming out to fakie, piss pedaling and going back into regs. dude deserves soty but he doesn’t hell ride so no dice.

maybe not the place but i could see them giving phelps soty in a serious way

[too fakie]

The people complaining about an 11 minute video being too long are the same people that will complain when the new Toy Machine video ends up only being 20 minutes.

im gonna need to hear suciu explain this

[RoaryMcTwang]

Just rewatched. As far as I can tell he's done it again. An endless part with many of the hardest tricks ever done, and not a tic-tac in it. He may ride for habitat but he's most certainly an alien.

[the faggot]

lol, dude drops the best part in recent history and all you kooks do is complain, miserable fucks.

[Vintagebody]

The Beirut music made it feel like a Jonny Giger part.

Can someone pm me a download link or torrent or something?
