The intro with P-Rod also sampled the hook of Apache's Jump On it, throwback to Yeah Right, along with his use of Nas' Get Down. Super pinched on his SW BS Smith too.

No one else thinks this dramatic editing is a little too much? Like the skating is otherworldly, but it just ends up being a little corny at times.

I'm all for hiphop, but a lot of the music was straight garbage lol

P-Rod and Wade were favs, and cool to see Tiago skate Oslo

I'm with you. It felt like they made a skate video for Netflix. Unbelievable skateboarding but I thought the pacing for a lot of the parts was off. In particular Taylor's and Carlos' part. The build up to the end of Carlos part was almost non-existent, and then it just ended on a trick that I personally don't think should've been his ender since I don't think he was locked in at any point.

Really like Tre Williams. He's come a long away since his Toy Machine/Dekline days.

if this video had a genre it would be "post-fullyflared"

Did feel a touch overly edited, but I'll take that over Strobeck filming any day.

There was no b-roll really, which sets it apart from baker and supreme et al.

Seems they were going for something a bit different with the slo mo and extra angles and they made it very watchable without going of the deep end into Ty evans territory

[close]

There was a ton of b-roll in this. I lost track how many times they had footage of a filmer filming a line before they cut to the actual line. So pointless. I haven't seen that many filmer BGP's ever.

2nd watch I noticed the lifestyle b-roll more and the repetitiveness of the music - but are second angles of the runup considered b-roll? I thought b-roll was only smoking, post trick celebrations, shitty roll-on grinds, and creepy voyeur shots of the general public.

Also did robert neal really only huck stair sets in his part?

Anyone got an ID of Biagio's bucket hat at 49:35? (Trick was also ridiculous)

[close]

looks like a polo bear bucket hat

Thank you, it's looking like that's the case.

What’s it valued at?

I saw one on Etsy going for about $54

[Gnarfunkell]

Finally finished the entire video, really enjoyed it the whole way through even though I'm not usually that into highly produced skate videos. I think Tre Williams had my favorite part even though I was expecting Tiago or Pedro Biagio to claim that spot. It's probably because Tre wasn't really on my radar before, so his part really impressed me. He has such good style.

I wish I had some better speakers for those subs that kick in around the end of Franky’s part at Flushing, goddamn

was cracking up at that lol

unrelated but does anyone know how old JB is? he seems pretty confident he's gonna be back on the board killing it in no time but i feel like he must be at least pushing 40 if not over, and a serious injury at that age is often career-ending. i also just found that whole segment to be extremely corny lol there were other dudes with serious injuries that took them out for extended periods of time that had footy in this video (Paul, Giovanni, maybe others) and they either just had a short section (Paul) or were in the montage (Giovanni). really didn't need the whole dramatic monologue and it seems like it could easily turn into a bit of a bunt to claim that you'll be back producing high-level skating soon with a gnarly injury at what i assume his age to be. dude is an absolute legend and i've been a fan for ages but i woulda been fine with just having some JB clips in the montage imo

Paul is not human in terms of his status and Giovanni is young. Let the old fart have his disclaimer and keep some of his pride haha

Pretty sure JB's the only one that sustained a serious injury while filming specifically for this video. And it sounds like he already is back on the board, so that part isn't even in question.

JB only needs to do flatground tricks to be enjoyable..one of the best style ever.

I didn't forget about Gio! But he fucked up his ACL when they were working on Fourth Quarter

[snowman600]

JB had me going like 'didn't he JUST put out a part for titus?!" nope, that was Dani Lebron. Man, old dudes are killing it this year! Villani is a god.
Silvas obv took the breezy diss to heart and toned down his shit, finally slowly winning slap over while she's sorta phoning it in, what a diabolical twist, I love it.

I watched it proper: 77" and dual subs; the soundtrack does not disappoint (all that much); it gets better as the video progresses.

I actually agree to a certain extent even though I did enjoy the video (but not the soundtrack). That's why I think putting Franky Villani on was one of the smartest things Paul has done for this company.

Yeah big fan of Brad obviously. Sablone , Manderson, Nyle Lovett, Bob Wo, Hjalte, Dane Brady, Louie Lopez, Templeton , Gonz , Ellington, Allen, there are a bunch more. Basically anyone that actually moves their arms when they skate, the perfect landing with arms to your side shit just isn’t my cup of tea.

[RoaryMcTwang]

Anyone else have the impression that there were a lot of homage tricks and spots and generally quite a bit of nostalgia in this? There’s JB basically recreating his own early work with New Deal in his part, but there’s a lot of that in other parts as well I thought even though I can’t quite put my finger on it


Also viz the (of all things) “German” haircuts: I really haven’t been home for way too long.
