Maybe a little unpopular opinion but Extremely Sorry didn't live up to the hype. Sorry and Really Sorry were/are classics. The soundtrack to that video was terrible and I could have done without all the clay animation. It had some good parts but overall it felt subpar.

Propeller was a letdown.

Pretty sweet had some lackluster putts but overall I enjoyed a lot of it. Vincent, MJ, CK, I also liked Jeron and BBs stuff. Guys part felt a little lackluster. I wasn’t into Raven, Stevie, or Elijahs parts. Kenny had a few cool clips, Chico and Jesus shared part was chill.

Agreed. My main problems with a lot of the newer guys' parts were the editing (CK not included). The songs either didn't match the skating or the vibe was off. A lot of forced bro-ing that they tried to milk the vibes from the Yeah Right days.

That but also I feel the quality of the skating just wasn't there. A lot of fluff, a lot of dragged out slow mo HD nonsense, and a lot of bad editing and song choices. It just wasn't what it could've been in a lot of ways. This was during a weird shift in skating on up of everything else but this one hurt. Maybe some funny skits could've broken up the monotony some.

I can say for extremely sorry there was a lot of good skating even if the editing was trash.

Jon Sciano had a good part in that tho.
So lackluster no one even remembers it’s exists.

pretty sweet

the skating in it is great, but everything surrounding the skating sucks. the jack black skit is hard to watch, the will arnett jokes feel forced and awkward, and there is a lot of bad music. the whole vibe of the video does not make me want to go skate at all.

im of the age where fully flared got me into skating as a young teen, so i was excited for this and went to a premiere but left feeling disappointed.

that said CK, stevie and MJ's parts are still great

Pretty Sweet for me. Way too long, felt like how tricks were filmed were prioritised over how good they were when choosing what went in there. Tired skits with unoriginal ideas (they basically just did the Owen Wilson bit from Yeah Right again with Will Farrell).  It played like a showreel for Ty Evans to get into the film industry, which it pretty much was AFAIK. That whole plan fell on its ass pretty quickly and he was straight back to making skate vids with painfully over the top production. Ty actually said in an interview that he edited it aimed at a non-skating audience, which is a huge disservice to the amount of work the skaters put in to it. It had a few good parts and could've been an all time great but was just overproduced dogshit. Shame really.


After Mosaic and Inhabitants, i felt like Origin was very lackluster.. the other ones that first came to mind have already all been mentioned (Since Day one, Guilty, and Nothing But the Truth).

I personally preferred Origin to Inhabitants. Nothing will touch Mosaic though although Habitat always put out solid videos


Maybe a little unpopular opinion but Extremely Sorry didn't live up to the hype.

Don't know who you've been talking to but that's not unpopular

I actually gave it another go today and it wasn’t as bad as I remember. I think I wasn’t really feeling the over polished HD look at the time and that cheap After effects polygonal motion template they used felt a bit cheesy at the time but I don’t mind it now.
What do you say on a Slap signature?
