Holy rolly polly that was so sick. I only learned of this dude fairly recently after watching his other Chris Mulhern sovereign sect video (which is also impressive)
So many cool aspects to this video.
1. Like several others already mentioned I was expecting a 2-3 minute part and then lots of credits and b-sides. To put out a nine minute part is really something else.
2. The way he goes about trick and spot selection -like ollieing up onto that slanted, narrow rail/ledge thing and doing a bigspin up there. He makes rough east coast spots look fluid as well as highly cinematic.
3. I really like Mulhearn's editing style as a more subtle AWS vibe. At first I was kind of disappointed to hear that Philip Glass song since Benny Maglinao already used it in an incredibly beautiful Nike/Levis Omar ad, but it also worked really well in this edit too.
4. His style areminds me of an early 2000s skater if that makes any sense? He's just really smooth and surefooted with excellent finesse and pop. His backside 180 flips should be in the 180 flip skate conversation, I think. Also, anytime I see a line that has both a fs 360 and a 360 flip one after the other I get sparked (Jason Lee, Bobby Worrest are two).
5. Towards the end I kept thinking "ok thats a real nice ender" and then he kept going and going. He had like 12 enders.
Advertising works and I'm going to go order an Alien abduction teeshirt now. I hope Adidas puts him fully on the team.
