Niels Bennett – HEROES / HELDEN

[DCLOVE]

Dude deserves better than the career graveyard that is modern day girl. Habitat seems fitting but I don’t know if he’d get more shine there . Quasi would be sick . Whole part is great. Nice treat on a shitty day

[mclovin1336]

very good part with pleasing "hard-way" tricks, which are not that easy to produce imho. This is going to be on repeat.

Moreover, I love when someone skates a well-known spot but not because of the obstacles the spot is known for. As in, his ender the ollie over the street in Stuttgart and not the long ledge which everybody ususally skates

[Arto!Arto!WakeUp!]

Dude is an enigma. What a part with the editing and music and always with the spot and trick selection.

He’s got this really stoney style to his skating that is kinda euphoric. Hard to describe.

I probably have 5000 of the views on the reverb part Daniel saved for us:

addidas deleting their own teams parts makes it quite hard to like the brand, even if personnel wise, they might be my fave.

[Arto!Arto!WakeUp!]

also i think the that ssbs 5-0 fs shuv out clip is the first time i've seen that ledge to drop spot since tom penny skated it in really sorry.

[stephop]

Really good

[roba]

i love this guy

[Tabletop]

Where is he from?

[RoaryMcTwang]

Where is he from?

Slap

[Ok]

I have this dumb idea that I wish he was on chocolate.

His whole thing is impeccable.

[more$steez]

This is a classic part.

Great trick and spot selection.

Timeless style.

Some tech. Some sends. Some rails.

Skateboarding needs more Niels footage and skating in the future. He reps the best of us.

[Coastal Fever]

First half was brilliant in every way, but the Sly song in the second was so unbearably corny I couldn’t even enjoy the skating.

[Síota]

So many good parts this week! Footage overload but love it

[newMe]

Really cool way to showcase 2 different filmers/editors styles. Great watch.

[Andrefosho]

Right amount of sag with Superstars

[Cool Ceith]

The Sly song really doesn't fit the edit at all, although I love the song.

[jsettle]

Where is he from?

Pensacola, FL. I think he has some family in Europe somewhere and would visit, but he grew up and skated mostly in Pensacola, FL. I would run into him alot at the parks when he was a young kid. He is also from Slap lol.

[dolphinstyle.]

In addition to the aforementioned Suciu vibes, there is also some very sexy Ishodness in his style in terms of effortless

[slimvanilla]

need more videos filmed + edited like this. so fresh so clean

[DannyDee]

Hell yeah! I loved this. Haven’t paid much attention to him because I haven’t liked much of post 2012 Crail new guys except griffin gass and sometimes Simon, but this was fucking rad. Get some suciu vibes in a very good way.

Simon's weird in that he has great tour footage but has never really dropped a defining part.

Niels is my favorite addition to Girl since they put on CK1, outside of when they added Jerry Hsu, but hard to compare a legend and one of my favorite skaters of all-time getting on to a kid getting the bump from flow.

[Madam, I'm Adam]

Excellent part, saved to my YouTube playlist. Will help fuel the sessions when the snow melts.

Seems like just yesterday he was linking the meatspin video in reply to someone who asked how to replicate the authentic LA look.

I love Simon and WISH we could get a real full part from him. That one of him skating to sinead O’Connor from back in the day still gets replay value for me.

Yeah, that Water Colours part made me a fan more than his The Flare part, but both had impressive shit. I'm glad Niels is out there getting footage though with Mulhern.

[RoaryMcTwang]

Finally watched, part was heldenhaft for real. I especially loved the handrail skating, sw bs nosegrind revert properly done? haven't seen that since Mariano's heyday I feel

Very tasteful selection of handrail tricks, 180s out of nosegrinds are rare breed.

[yungthug]

I feel the fact that he is in Girl is making him a bit slept on. I know this won't make much sense at first, but he'd have more exposure on a brand like Alien/Habitat or something ala Joey O where he could use the money to work with a filmer directly instead of spending time getting sucked into Crail edits everyone immediately forgets.

What you're saying is valid IMO. I personally am not gonna click on another Girl Pacific NW tour edit that's a collab for a product capsule with a company like Kodak or Nat Geo or something that's 15 minutes and I don't remember anything that happened after the video ends.

[Candied cigarettes]

[veritas]

Tasteful

[Mean salto]

It's like classic girl/choc updated. Feel like somebody could of gone into a coma in the mouse, choc tour years then wake up now and watch Niels part and it would make sense.

I'd love to see them watch the Paco, Chocolate parts in Mouse, and Chocolate Tour and then wake up and watch Elijah and Raven footage from Pretty Sweet. Those two were both very confusing fits. Prior to that it was Eldridge as he was really the first big rail/hubba skater they put on Chocolate.

[coexist3]

one of the few current dudes that gets me hyped
