That was so rad. I don't think there was a single clip that I wasn't stoked on.
I love Alexis' skating so much.

After the Berle clips and then seeing this it made me think that Sage is definitely inspired by Dylan with his trick choices but still seems like his own person which I like.

Alexis and Louie really killed it. That made me want to skate.

Instantly rewatched the entire video after it was over,
not a bad trick in the whole edit. Great songs and editing showed energy.
Alexis got me stoked to skate, loved Dane and Louie too.
Vans is always off the mark, every time. The direction and execution of the image is just a damn try hard supreme commercial.
Ben's edits make me wanna skate, he shows you what it's like to roll around with these people and presents it in a way that makes you feel good.

nice little surprise but i don't expect it to shake the SOTY race up too much
Alexis and Louie killed it, the rest felt more light/throwaway
not even the best Ben edit of this year and people think this is better than the most recent Vans video?? smh

I have said many disparaging things about Louie Lopez in the past that I would now like to formally rescind. This part won me over. Those orange kicks :-*

Alexis crushed it. Ode to Elissa was most dope.

K-Rods clip was botched—why are you showing me this dudes face while he’s cruising through dirt? Show me MUD.

I loved Gil’s part but it’s pretty wild how much better this video is than the recent vans video.

Still never gonna skate a pair tho.

It took you up until now to realize he's one of the best ever?

The two parts + team montage formula seems to become more and more popular. Definetly well executed with this piece!

This trick was sick. Nice to see something other than the standard long lens shot at this spot.

Props to Dane and whoever filmed this?

Everyone changes at their own pace.
It’s like a 27 year old finally realizing he shouldn’t say the n word, better late than never.

Its silly to compare but that Alexis part held my interest way more than Elijah Berle's Vans part. Fuck yeah to women's skateboarding.

Whole video is sick.  Alexis got me stoked and the team montage was great.  Wish we could get another Zered part.  Louie is up there with Ishod for the best of his generation.  Unlike the Vans video I'll actually watch this one more than once.

Part also won me over. I know Louie was super good, and never disliked his skating, but in this footage he's skating with more aggression and flow than previous parts.

I kind of feel bad for Elijah, he spends all year dressing up and styling his hair for the SOTY season party, and then ten minutes after he shows up this hot chick just switch flips in and all eyes are on her.

SAGEEEE COMING IN WITH THE CLIPS!!!!! 2020 just got instantly better!

I think I know who it was, but whoever filmed the Cromer and Zered clips was fucking blowing it with the zoom in.

Alexis is at her best. I'm glad other people picked up on the Elissa nod too, that was cool.

Louie is definitely on that elite tip with Ishod, GT and a few others. He should have won SOTY back when he put his West End part out. Dude can do anything and make it look good and super fun too. It's kind of weird that some people in this thread are just now realizing he's not the little kid from Extremely Sorry anymore. As if he hasn't been steady crushing since that Volcom Holy Stokes part.

agreed.

i'm still confused people are enjoying this more than that. they're both great, it just personally seems obvious that Alright, OK will likely be remembered more vividly in the scope of things. Louie even had that other CONS part that came out just 6 months prior.

on craft alone, the Vans video is so precise. but to each their own..

bro your eyes must be fucked or you must enjoy filler shit and plagarism, like the 4th time a dude flips a table in a skate video.

alright, ok has skating that's on par, but sucks in every other aspect compared to this video. i can tell you i will never watch alright, ok before skating, but i will watch this cons video lots of times in the immediate future.

everything about the vans vid to me was whatever, don't mean what you mean with precise. as someone who worked and run shops for years, the vans thing was like their typical filler promo shit that they have you play on the floor. like half footage, half lifstyle fashion shots. who gives a fuck about this? they could have cut alright ok down to ten minutes and still have all the tricks. it's one of the worse edited videos of the year.

and i have nothing against those two dudes, i like their part, gilbies part is awesome especially, but hunt fucked up imo. the editing is shit and even if berle is like a muse to him or fat bill, no one really cares about him that much to have his footage full of him being all rebelpretty. it's literally a shop commercial that supposed to run in a loop, not a skatevideo imo.

"my eyes must be fucked or i enjoy filler shit and plagiarism"
we can have different tastes and still have an honest discussion lol

not to discredit what you said, but my background is specifically in directing and editing.
i'm a big fan of Hunt's work and i think its characteristic of much of the quality you see across his career.
Chadourne is one of my favorites of the past decade, but even his work i feel is heavily influenced by Hunt's.

That's because it is Koston.

His signature annoying oooooh in the next clip confirms it.

Sick vid btw, great editing too. Louie and Alexis can do no wrong.
