Can we talk about the video and not only the Louie part/SOTY thing?
Love Erik's skating, something clean and old school about it, simple tricks done well. He's absolutely perfect for Chocolate. Ender was amazing and he has the best back noseblunt out at the moment.
Can't believe Eddie re-did that gap to 5-o after that slam to the head. Kind of think he shouldn't have.
Louie killed it, too many amazing tricks to mention and tasteful to a t. He makes the diciest shit look easy (front feeble pop over!) The front nose pretzel at the Louvre must be the apotheosis of that trick.
I never paid much attention to Flip Louie, but since going to FA he's just undeniable. Really loved this part, creative, unpredictable, and seems to be really enjoying skating not just getting the clip for ego or ups. Really infectious positive vibes and smiles, on high rotation with this one. I don't care about SOTY, it's getting kinda tacky and taking away from the skaters individual talents and achievements and just turning into a jock fest, a versus contest, which is super lame. I would say though, out of all the recent supposed 'SOTY parts", this is my favourite, like this is how I wish I could skate, this looks fun, interesting spots, creative tricks, big variety, great fits, super stylish, it's relatable but actually completely out of reach; this is how my skating looks in my dreams.
