I agree!

I don't want to be a hater, but I really don't understand the hype about Louie Lopez, in my opinion he rarely comes with a mind-blowing trick and in my opinion he does not brings anything new to the table, everything he does we all already see before some other dude doing it.

The bs flip over the dumpster and some other tricks were kinda cool, but nothing really mind-blowing.

Liar

I am not a liar, I just confused the bs flip over the dumpster was from another video from Louie someone posted on this thread.

From the new video I enjoyed the bs lipslide varial heelflip out.

Maybe the problem is in me because maybe he isn't the kind of skating I really enjoy to watch, once again, I don't want to be a hater, I just don't see the hype. ( SOTY contender, no way in my opinion )

[somethingmustbreaknow]

he goes. sick.

[LebowskisRug]

I believe Mark over you. He wanted to show that he wasn't just a ledge dancer and did it. They weren't 20 stair rails or some shit, they were slightly bigger than he had done consistently before. Him wanting to go for SOTY isn't worse than Mason, or Louie, or many others you just don't seem to like the guy. It's not like he said "to win SOTY I gotta put out a part with obscure crusty spots" he had already posted hundreds of clips on his IG skating such spots and wanted to include more of it in his parts than his typical.

The editing/music paired with LL's speed reminded me of watching an old crime or western series where the good guy rushes in shoots people left and right in style and solves any problem easily (kinda like Louie does it with spots).

Definitely feel like there was some fingerprints on this from Benny. The song in particular.  No offence to Ryan Lee, who I think has become a solid editer in his own right.

Ryan Lee edited that Lola part too. I think he's maybe the disco head?

You're right about the similarities to the Philip Glass 84 Olympics music piece though. Concorde was written specifically as a theme song for the Air France Concorde which was new at the time of the song's release in 75. High profile jingles for forgotten products repurposed for skate parts.

[DaleSr]

That shit was filthy. Both of those last tricks into wallride are mind blowing. How does he make really heavy tech ledge shit look attainable and easy when it's not

I was fucking with you.

I'm go out on a limb and say this part, while very good, it was just the tip of what's coming for his soty push.

[LebowskisRug]

I re-watched and retract my prior statement. I didn't see him duck under the bar before kickflipping that set, missed at trick on the curved ledge, and missed 2 tricks on the ledges AVE used to skate.

Can somebody explain, sorry if this has already been discussed, what the video title refers to? Is it all filmed on the same university campus? Would be one hell of an architecturally diverse and skateable campus...

Probably alluding that it's straight A tricks at the campus so it's honor roll. And yes all in one campus in two weeks. Dude just has it like that

[Nosferatu]

If we are splitting hairs many of the tricks are across the street in either direction and not technically on campus but basically yeah.

i was gonna say, he damn near filmed a whole part at usc. haven’t been back in years but looks like a lot of new goods there.

[Mantracker]

since no one has said it yet

Louie has an excellent pop shuvit

[Gab]

Would have liked to see more roll-away on certain clips, that’s my only critique. Skating was unfuckwitable. Though I could see what people are saying about the clips seeming like warm ups or just a glimpse of what’s to come which is a good thing. And two weeks?! Come on.

Yeah you are somehow right - but not many human beings on planet earth doing it as good looking, clean and fast then LL.
Nothing in that part was wack - everything was stylish.
Ok not much super mega impressive NBD or Bangers.
But I prefer a fast and clean, stylish line with classics before everything else.

For me he is the new generation Kenny Anderson, stylish & tech & fast & good looking on the board.

And please keep in mind this is 3 min "throwaway" footage for a Wheel sponsor filmed in 2 weeks skating
at the USC campus.
Best tricks will be stacked or FA / Converse later this year.

I enjoy it - and really woud like to skate USC like this.

[radcunt]

Sorry for this hot take, but I reckon this guy is a good skateboarder!

[warmonke]

8/8? Louie Lopez is a nazi and the industry loves him for it!!!!

[moshandwallies]

i'm not gonna say anything about the skating but i have a question about the filming, why is everything filmed with the shutter speed at like 60?

[Atiba Applebum]

Don’t give SR ACF ideas for new threads

[ToySanta]

8 is a lucky number in Chinese culture, so maybe the industry loves Lou and that’s all??

This was a great part. I like the song, but I don’t think it fits his skating. Maybe someone more sporadic or unpredictable...

Pros: He’s so smooth! It’s unreal. The opening line was too good and his switch back heel was perfect. The way his feet didn’t seem to adjust on the last casual wallride he threw during the credits, sheesh!

[BartHarleyJarvis]

Everything was filmed in or around USC. Half of the spots are actually across the street at the museum complex so not *technically* USC but thats a pretty minor nit to pick.

when I see threads chains like that im always reminded of Tracer

Bumping this because I was hiking in the woods for the last week. Louie’s talent is so far beyond anybody else on the FA/Hockey squad it’s almost embarrassing. He makes everyone else seem very lackluster. Except for like Vincent Touzery.

in terms of sheer difficulty elijah is also in a very high tier. unfortunately for him, he's also him.

Elijah is like Jeff Lynne. He’s talented and made some songs but he’s just trying to sound like the Beatles who did it better.

i'm not really disagreeing here, i just don't know how poeple see vincent touzery in the same tier as a ll/ishod. like he's really good, but i'll just say it, just doesn't have that athleticism and easyness that louie and ishod have. touz looks to me like he really works for his tricks(which to me is a good thing).

you are totally entitled to your opinion of course, i'm not even really disagreeing. i always thought touz is well liked for the overall package. good fits, good trick selection, ok style(don't like the hunchback thing personally but it's still ok), skates in french, etc... never saw him in that so talented it's not even funny realm.

Vincent just seems like a traditionally good skater, which I really like. No flashy or zany tricks or fits, just good tricks performed with excellent style. I wouldn’t put him in the same realm of skill as LL or Ishod but his style and trick selection is top tier. There are some other good skaters on the squad but like 75% of them are too cool or too gimmicky or both. Louie just skates circles around the rest of them and it’s painfully obvious.
