i love this man! always great songs. I think in a past thread someone said something along the lines of "brad cromer does his tricks the way I do them in my daydreams about skating" very accurate statement

Pretty much, he reminds me in some ways of Nate Broussard in that regard. His tricks just float. And, they do everything so clean, that even questionable/illegal tricks work.

Brad Cromer is so so cool

homegrown83 · « **Reply #32 on:** June 11, 2021, 01:38:55 PM »

One of my favorites. I love seeing new footage of this guy. Every trick he does is just crisp and clean. He knows how to make a line not boring to watch.

5 minutes of Crome to the dome.

Love his Nate Jones vibes.

Such a good style and huge bag of tricks! Loved the Lemonheads song too...

So sick. The ollie onto the wooden wave and sliding fs 180 to ride the bumps backwards gave me somer serious ASMR chills.

weregoingunion · « **Reply #36 on:** June 11, 2021, 02:30:50 PM »

big pop, perfect flick and proper catch always from this guy. so fucking sick, even when he breaks out of his normal bag of tricks he still makes it look good. that first nollie bs flip...

McBrandt · « **Reply #37 on:** June 11, 2021, 02:46:13 PM »

Not a favorite Lemonheads song of mine, but a Lemonheads song nonetheless and much better than a lot of songs I've heard in videos that have come out recently.

Best flip tricks in skateboarding. Will watch this 2000 times.

Dope they got a dude that follows him around with an umbrella. U may not get health insurance being pro but at least they give ya a umbrella guy.

Gat damn that was sick, Cromer is the best, top 5-10 for me.

That might be my fav Cromer part and that is saying a lot as he has had some epic parts and i love em all.

Cromer living in NY is amazing, he really took advantage of COVID on a few of those spots.

Cromer+Lemonheads+NYC is too good a combo.

great fits as expected, i esp liked the 88 one and 1:07. Punk and Yo belt as it were

The Veldt is obscure, i expect nothing less from someone with such good all around taste, least of all music.

Heavy re-watchability

Part of the year, so far. It was all excellent. This and the Alltimers edit a few months back are the only things that I'll revisit.

really, no Grand Prairie?

Quote from: matt_2993 on June 11, 2021, 12:47:22 PM

We all owe it to Cromer to buy his decks. I'm ashamed i have yet to ever get one but will be my next.

Also wasn't he injured somewhat recently? is this before or after injury?

We sure do.

After injury

Quote from: HORSES on June 11, 2021, 10:18:40 AM

Kind of weird to be wearing a Hockey t-shirt in multiple clips, no?

Felt as though the songs weren't really in sync with what was going on in the part.

Hockey in 3 clips, i feel like with Hockey, Sci Fi Fantasy, and a Baker hat he just likes supporting people/things he likes in skating maybe?

Id love to look like Comer or Kenny Anderson on a board..not happening

I love him so much I just want to hug him.

Doom patrol · « **Reply #47 on:** June 11, 2021, 06:44:24 PM »

I'm sitting here fantasizing about doing one trick "Cromer perfect" in my life.
What a wonderful part.

radcunt · « **Reply #48 on:** June 11, 2021, 09:15:01 PM »

Love Cromer, this ruled. One thing I wish became a trend in skate filming is ‘spot context’. Like film the spot before the trick from an appropriate angle to show how heavy or shit to skate it is. Like, a side shot of a bank to get an idea how steep it is, or a gap to get a sense of scale. Not that this is a super ‘heavy’ part or anything but im sure a lot of the spots are way harder to skate than he makes it look. And i think its be interesting to slow clips down a bit and let the tricks breathe. 🙏🏻

Shuh · « **Reply #49 on:** June 11, 2021, 09:50:49 PM »

So smooth

JohnnyBoy · « **Reply #50 on:** June 11, 2021, 10:41:17 PM »

His whole career has been fun to watch, never a dull part or a bad song imo. I realized in this part that I never see people backside heelflip on banks. In my head it would look shotty and need a pivot but he actually catches that one at full 180. Dont see that a lot.

Im gonna buy a Cromer board next too.

RoaryMcTwang · « **Reply #51 on:** June 11, 2021, 10:42:23 PM »

When the very first trick makes me loose my shit I know the part’s gonna be good. He’s infallible.

agreed - it could even be a cool b sides thing to examine the spot/approach with video pans or static shots. since raw edits are so common these days I don't see why this can't happen.

He can skate, but after him posting about crisis actors, and Sandy Hook conspiracies, I can't back this dude.

Yes to that. Came across the demo tracks for that Lemonheads album earlier this year. They are really great in their raw form. Worth a listen if you have not.

He's the best. Everything he does is perfect but not in robotic way.

fs1/2cab · « **Reply #56 on:** June 12, 2021, 04:15:32 AM »

Anyone know how long he filmed for that? Everything was perfect. This guy is in the same league as Ishod and Louie. At least for me.

Word. I find it super interesting to either see a spot in person or to see a photo of it to put it into context. Just instead of showing me the cunts face, give me a set up shot of the spot. They kinda 'analyse' spots on the Nine Club video watches, but mainly just say 'duuuuude what' where they could be bringing up other actually interesting shit.

There’s no way this is from post injury, he just recently said he’s getting to 70% and those clips were higher than that

One of the most talented skateboarders alive
