Can anyone with a better vocabulary than me describe the FA video aesthetic?

Strange to see a guy look way better on his board switch than regular. Half his tricks looked gross.

I haven’t even watched this yet but y’all are so fuckin annoying with the “why is he pro, his tricks are wack”. People other than you want to buy a board with his name on it. If they didn’t, he wouldn’t have a pro model. That’s why none of y’all have pro models, sheesh.

Why even put the 1 flip trick ( heelflip) in there when his co star and 25 year his senior AVE can switch tre over a 1920’s factory worker laying down long ways?

Very tight. His skating has a charm to it that I can't explain. The edit was very well done too; music and spot selection were on point.

I think the hate towards him is often misguided. I can understand to a degree if you don't like his style or edge, but harping on him for having too few tricks or whatever is a close-minded and antiquated take.

I think he means how people have been asking for an Aidan part on Youtube for years, and then at the end of Industrial Light & Magic they said Aidan Mackey coming soon or whatever (which was like a 2 years ago)
But I think that was a teaser for Dancing on Thin Ice, not this.

felt alienated after that ride on/slappy 5050 section where it felt like the same trick with different backgrounds.   gave me a real "no seymour, it's the kids that are wrong" feeling I didn't like

but he also did years worth of technical skating legendary east coast spots. some of it is still legit to this day.

this guy though...why is he pro? no substance at all. the best tricks were AVE.

This has to be my fav FA video. Great music and flow to match the skating. Loved the Fs turning Sw Manual on the sidewalk, the Fakie Fs Crooked Shove, and the Fakie Manual to Manual on the Daewon spot. Ender felt more like a credits trick though.

Woof, so much to hate on where do I even begin?

Certainly one way to stretch your five tricks into an entire part. I could’ve done some of those manuals on curbs for sure. About five too many pole jams. I never need to see another switch backside wallie crook ever again. The switch front crook to fakie was the best trick IMO. The super dramatic slow mo ride on grind in the intro, puke. Dude’s trucks did not lock in on that 50-50 on the green dumpster. Why is it trendy to use a shitty make for your part and not redo a better one where you actually lock in the grind?? Ender is a unique spot but a drop in grind with grass all around you is like Instagram story worthy at best.

K-rod had the best trick of his whole damn career in that part.

I get it, I’m old.

pays homage to dill's ride on 5-0 spot in mindfield with a 50-50, one-downing out of respect or laziness? these are the things that keep me up at night sometimes.
Still, I liked it. Benny's a master of his craft.
