Bill Strobeck has fully flanderised himself
Yeah it's awful. Skating was good. So is Troy Gipson's... too bad they agreed to do this weird thing with Bill.
I try not to hate on new stuff too much before it's been given a fair chance, but this Bill editing is so, so tired. Also...

shanahan skated to mayhem better
I'd skate with Bill too, the fuck? Look at how it turned out for the cherry roster. Better than staying on Tum Yeto flow. I could give a rats ass how much he zooms as long as it gets me f500 shoe sponsor connects and supreme checks.
Everything came together with Cherry. It was fresh, exciting, and started long lasting careers. But look up the definition of "flanderized." This is a caricature of Cherry... I do not see it as innovation or building on the precedent that video set. Dude is aping his own (admittedly groundbreaking) work at this point. And that's ignoring the fact that he reused music that had been used relatively recently in a NY video that was done way better.
Edit: I have no doubt Troy and the other skaters involved will find success in skating. But I do think they could have made better choices. Bill's budget Hockey board brand is a fried choice in 2022.
Edit again: I see what you're trying to say, but Troy wasn't Tum Yeto flow. He was getting boards from a well established, relevant board company with an imminent video that is generating more buzz than this shit. Can't draw that parallel imo.
