SKATEGOAT: The movie

[$$LESH]

y’all ever see hardflip? brian sumner’s an angel who helps some kid find god and land a hardflip back lip on a flat bar

Skate goat is just a gimmick and fad. Think back to Simon Woodstock. Yes skate goat is good, and it's hard to tell his natural stance sometimes. But he isn't doing anything that hasn't been done before, and not doing anything we haven't seen before. He's gonna fade away like those pound in RANDOMS hardware we saw back in the day, along with bearing rims.

If anyone is wondering like I was. Van Alpert appears to be just some random dude who used to hang out with Paris Hilton.

the perfect credentials for the job. this movie is gonna be so epic

there should be a stream on discord for all the slappers to watch when it drops

[donkey]

damn being the champ of venice park sure has its perks

there's a trailer

Sheesh. That is exactly what I expected a Cariuma Documentary to look like.

The "Story By" bit on the IMDB page is hilariously revealing. It took 4 writers to put this Leandre Sanders myth together.


It also shows T.Hawk as 3rd billing in the cast... when that trailer shows him with his hands in his pockets, filmed on an iPhone hastily outside his home. Love it.

So from the trailer I've surmised that the movie will consist of the following-
50% purchased b-roll
25% interviews of people saying how awesome skategoat is.
15% skategoat saying how awesome he is
7%   skategoat pushing
3%   skategoat skating

I'm confused - what laurels is he resting on here? Lol.

Seems like a really premature and self-congratulatory celebration of a career that hasn't really taken off.

Even legends like Reynolds or Carrol (who DO HAVE the storied careers of starting from nothing and building legitimate empires and legacies within our culture) would look really wack if a documentary/movie/whatever the hell this is was made about them that took this approach.

The straight-faced running with sports cliches in the ludicrously heavy-handed narration throughout rules. I can't believe anyone greenlit this.

[johnes]

Is that the guy with two natural stances?

Yea which means when seeing his footage, we are to assume no tricks are switch.

Seems more like a mockumentary to me

[ok boomer]

would rather watch this on repeat

I'm no industry insider or anything but I'm betting that if you have a heavy hitter like Van Alpert attached to your project you don't walk, you RUN.  No time to fret over little things like actual accomplishments.

 Hopefully, but Simon Woodstock didn't have the the backing of an expert in artificial bullshit. Borra, from his his humble, fake-as-fuck beginnings inserting fabricated look-a-like street obstacles in his skate part, is leveraging all his resources to capture the youth market and completely sidestep the core market. Jagger is the gateway, and the premature skate goat movie is just a byproduct of capturing eyeballs that have no grasp of skating's real roots and shared values. Like Berrics, Borra wants to carve out an enclave where his bullshit flies unchallenged, where he can be a control freak about what posters are allowed and what myths get legitimized, to the detriment of our true culture.

dude rather make a MOVIE than a video part smdh

[WavyDavy]

I really don't know if this no stance bullshit will be interesting to anyone outside skateboarding. You know there are sometimes skateboard scenes in movies where the skaters obviously have different stances or change it but it's just some random detail skaters see

[Murge]

This. Skate goat is such a fucking kook

[lampshade]

I can't wait for, "Skategoat II, Electric Boogaloo."  It will be epic. 

[Lou Strux]

Question: what are Van Alpert’s connections with the Church of Scientology?

Full disclosure: I enjoy watching this Leandre dude’s skating because of its relative fluidity, but on a technical level, is it really all that difficult? Seems like the type of stuff some kid at a beach front skatepark my pull, smooth, surfy, the works. It looks kinda fun to me; what can I say?
Shout out to beach towns, BTW.
You know the vibe!
Back to my point… Never have I seen so much hype poured upon somebody who can’t even skate switch.
That is all.

TL;DR Who?!?

This is the right take

[elbarto]

I’m honestly so confused. I thought this was an elaborate Slap fake but this shit is actually real? What the fuck lmao I try so hard to hold the benefit of the doubt when it comes to these fucking “skate-noun” people but god damn this is so wack it’s unbelievable.

"Skategoat III: The search for skatepussy"

“punctuated by an incredible soundtrack”

I’ll believe when I see it. So I’ll never believe it.
