Everyone has really great answers but let's acknowledge this video for a minute. This is as pure as skating gets, Shari really did an amazing job here. No gimmicks, no corny Strobeck zoom bullshit, no jockey gatekeeping - just straight up skateboarding from a solid group of women who are changing the landscape of skateboarding for the better.

Calm down, hero.

Earth Goblin was good.

Hey look it's my biggest fan. You always seem to respond with vitriol to my posts that include me talking about misogyny and rapists. That and also when I talk about women, trans, and queer skaters in a positive light. Is your masculinity really that fragile?

[close]

Vitriol... ok. Nobody watched that video more than once, but keep up the white knight schtick, you corny bitch. Please DM me again too.

[close]

Damn, that was a sick burn. Nothing will top this dope burn of yours though.

You didn’t even skate back then, and I’m pretty sure you don’t even skate know according to julio.

I not saying these are all top fivers, but ones to consider. There also might be some 2019 stuff in here by accident or full lengths listed where you could easily select your single part from. There are also some I didn't like or care to consider that you would.

No particular order here:

• Girl - Nervous Circus
• The latest Cons & Vans videos
• Lovenskate - Tea & Biscuits

• Rat Rat 5
• Anti Hero - Quantinium
• Glue - Smut
• adidas - Reverb (apparently QS is considering it to be a 2020 video
• Heroin - Earth Goblin
• Worble - Party Destroyer
• Passport - Kitsch (I'm pretty sure this was 2019 but individual parts were released online in 2020)

Thanks a lot, that made it a lot easier.

Completely agree with the top 2 video-parts. I actually forgot Bobby's part was from this year (been a long year). I love how both skaters killed it in their home cities (London and Toronto) and weren't on some world tour hunting spots. Shows you don't need some massive travel budget to one-up iconic spots to make an impactful part (like PJ's WHL part almost exclusively filmed in Boston).

I'd agree, Kitsch is the best video of the last couple years.

If we are counting Reverb as part of this year, Niels had a pretty damn heavy year between opening Reverb and closing Nervous Circus.

[know_your_role]

can we have a third category for sub 2 minute parts

[art hellman]

totally - he had the standout part(s) in both videos (not to take away too much from Gustav)

also:  didnt even consider the local-aspect of my Top 2, makes 'em even more secure in their pole position

Yeah you killed it actually. Forgot about Giddy 11, that was so good.

[notmikerusczyk]

BOB-Quasi needs to be on there and Daniel Dent's - With the apple too

goddamnit i forgot to add bobby's part in there. love that dent vid too but would it classify as a full length? fuck it prob my favorite video of the year

[VHS ERA]

Mason fatigue is real. Can't think of a list of full lengths, but for individual parts I have:

1. Alexis in Seize the Seconds
2. Tom Knox drift part
3. Gustav in Reverb
4. Ishod in Be Free
5. Shanahan's DC part (huge soft spot for this guy and loved the editing)

Gotta do some re-watching but my top 5 will definitely be similar to this. Even though I’m pretty sure Reverb came out in December last year, but then it disappeared and returned in 2020. Gustav wins everything if we’re counting it.

I'm struggling trying to think of where that Nick Matthews Huf part could go... Almost wish it was a top ten individual parts list so I could include it and Cyrus' Stussy part.

He also had a lot of great footage in that NoHotels x Plus Florida video with Even RobBert Wooten etc

It’s not making anyone’s list because it’s DVD only at the moment, but I highly recommend picking up Traffic’s “Third Shift”. It’s their best video since Via, and definitely my favorite of the year.

bought it.  it's definitely awesome. just havent watched it enough yet for it to have grabbed a spot.

Am I in the minority that Moving in Traffic is my favorite Traffic vid?  The Sabback part is a Top 10 of all time for me.

[rock2fakie]

For me top 5 individual parts in no particular order:

• Jarne Verbruggen's Professional Life
• Tom Knox - Atlantic Drift 1
• Zane Timpson in Westernworld's FFFurther
• Alexis Sablone in CONS Seize the Seconds
• Martino Cattaneo in Tom's Tales

Honorable mentions:

• Franky Villani - One Big Mess
