skaters whose footage on instagram is better than their video parts

[GeorgeCostanza]

some who spring to mind are aurélien giraud, zander mitchell, that coles bailey kid from the homies network videos, will marshall maybe

[Circaskater420]

Kader honestly

[Bob Dylan Jaeb]

instagram IS a video part, hotshot 

[Billy Bitchcakes]

Aurélien Giraud was the first to come to mind. He needs some quality control, and street footage exposes the fact that his style is pretty stink

Dylan Jaeb namely because he doesn't really have any street footage but that casual bouncy style doesn't translate as well to the street stuff I've seen

[Prostate Exam]

Danny Way

has Aurelian ever even dropped a proper part? i dont think his style's that bad. i see what you mean but its definintely not the worst its just frenchman style, i think its kinda dope. he just goes for some wild ass tricks for the gram cause thats what gets the clicks bruv

[fredgallSOTY]

Shawn Hale (dont think i've ever seen a part, but his IG clips are pretty rad)
big Shanahan fan, but Shanahan
agree with Kader
KB??? just bc there isn't much footage out there

i hate aurelien giraud. he's crazy good but i do not give a fuck honestly

[roomservice]

all of them

lol aight i see where you are comin from on that one ^

yeah i see what u mean by shanahan as well but i dont think thats really a diss on him that is just the direction of DGK and his fanbase,. his instagram shit is jus tsuch gold but his video part was still excellent.  the instagram stuff is probably worth a lot more money than the video parts though i imagine

[Lenny the Fatface]

Spanky is really good but not a perfectionist and likes to dick around so Insta has been amazing for his style of skating.

Im Agree with Fredgallsoty, not even clicking this video, also having to clarify with ¨STREET PART¨is gross...

[BroBruhBra]

KB, as stated above just lack of footage. He had this bump to front heel over these posts on his insta story the other day that was fucking ridiculous.

this is just typical tight trucks/large torso style. Not the best but ive seen worse

[looks ok to me]

Hate to say this but antonio durao

[dirty limerick]

the flying frenchman who back tailed el toro. that threw me for a loop but his part was underwhelming.

[Mr Cheese Resurrection]

His parts are always rad. Chico’s Instagram is one of my favorite to follow.

[MOE SYZLAK]

Don’t get me wrong here , I love Zered’s video parts but I never felt they really do the way he skates day to day justice. His insta clips are all fucking amazing.

I really believe that's because nobody is showcasing him enough. Numbers is doing all of their riders a huge disservice by being so fuckin lazy and nike doesn't do nearly enough with him.

He could be huge if a productive company hit him up

Who said jock?

The fact that he had to call his part "STREET PART" kinda says it all

[Giza Butler]

it might be also due to editing vs freestyle clips?

I feel that a lot of people's skating has to go trough a mill with editing and music, who might steer your attention away from single trick style, dismount, etc.

Imagine seeing the machinegun zero videos as instagram clips for example.

I think for me it’s the fun factor more so than the filming editing thing. When a skater is doing things for fun their true style and creativity gets to peek out. His parts are loaded with tons of great lines, bangers and switch skating but his insta clips show the weird tricks he can do at skateparks or on banks and shit.. it’s just more inspiring to me.

true, you get the sketchy landings, the weird first tries and all.

I guess that the phone footage comes across as more genuine and less structured. That's why I'm conflicted at times.
You'll see someone's video "part" and you'd wish that they (skater, filmer and editor) had done a good job keeping your attention for 3/4 minutes while you're thinking about someone's insta story.

[wigwam_24]

Rollersurfer comes to mind. I do enjoy his parts also but they never quite hit the spot like his instagram posts

[Freelancevagrant]

Feel like this was made for ace pelka

What the hell do you mean by Frenchman style? Two of the most stylish skaters I can think of were both french in Lucas and JB.
