I don’t know what’s worse:

The unironic use of butt rock…

Geoff and Motörhead are kind of a tradition.
This part was cool to see Penny, Rowley’s style has been gnarly 15+ years ago do I want to see him update his style to today’s game? Yes please however he’s going strong and for that kudos to you buddy.

That was fucking boring. He's a legend and all but none of that was impressing. medicro fliptricks and bluntslides in ditches yeah cool bro.

Pretty sure he’s spoken before about needing some risk/thrill to enjoy skating, and that with age he’s found it in trick to banks. Boring but awesome to see Geoff still skating.

Also was so stoned watching this, was overjoyed watching penny point to the sky

I'm really just interested in the flame mural/tag over situation as well. I'm glad someone could read the whole thing, all i could make out was "whoever did this..." i wonder if there is any chance of the person ever seeing this video - 'cause now they know exactly who did this.

also, geoff rips, that was pretty repetitive/too long and free dome is a bizarre name that is very bad.

I say this with rowley being my favorite for nearly 25 years. Ditch skating is just really hard to get excited by. It’s basically the same thing every time - the ride away is the hard part. Still stoked to see him ripping, but would’ve loved more of that mini ramp tech we know he’s capable of

I'll always love and respect Rowley's skating but I'm not gonna lie, his persona/machismo is about as gnarly as these

Still has one of the best styles in the game, pushes himself and does daredevil shit, so no complaints from me. Wish every legendary pro would do 10 percent of this at his age.

tbh this part would be way more watchable if it was only 10% of the current length.

Every trick Geoff did was into a bank. Should we consider this a concept part?

Cool to see Rowley ripping. Part was cool, not a part I'll have on repeat. The ditches can be repetitive and hard to watch after a while. Whatever, he's doing his thing. Also, am I tripping or was Penny wearing cariuma's? Someone please correct me. 2:03 mark.

Thanks for clarifying. That would have been a nightmare.

2:04 is Penny Incase someone else just wants to see it. Would be a good gif but I'm useless with crap like that.

All these cynical takes are ridiculous… Geoff didn’t need to put out shit if he didn’t want to….  he could let that cherry early 2000’s money accrue without a blip.  He’s fucking up these ditches for the love of it. 

Maybe he gets a buck or two out of this but it’s well deserved.  He’s risking his little northern English bucktoothed ass out there.
When nothing in society deserves respect, we should fashion for ourselves in solitude new silent loyalties.

100% agreed. I’d love to see any of these critics even ride down one of these ditch spots. I live in AZ, they are massive.

Kudos to Geoff. I think the feedback in this thread is a reflection of how challenging it is to capture and portray massive bank skating. IRL these things are crazy, most can’t grasp how big they are- I can’t- and when that’s virtually the entire part you do start to go numb to it; your brain is comparing each bank to the last one & you lose perspective on their scale. A few more angles from behind to show steepness would have helped too.

Agreed but I think the part would be more impressive if they had edited it down to 4 minutes or so.

I think I enjoy Geoff Rowley's footage as much as the next 30-something skater guy but this just felt like a generic and less inspired version of Fred Gall's Spiritual Healing part. Right down to a similar video length and terrain choice. Basically 97% bank/transition footage but with a much less cool spot variation (Maybe it's just down to such vain things as colour and texture?!). Hell Rowley may have even had a more interesting trick selection at 3 years Gall's senior but still, I lost interest after 2-3 minutes of really trying to focus on this part. All of the footage accumulated between the few perfect/generic California ditch spots started to get old visually pretty quickly to me even with the barrage of nose/blunt slide variations performed on them. Everything about it just felt more rushed and thrown together in comparison but this surely isn't exactly a hot SLAP take despite me never voting for Fred Gall as an easy out on any poll before. This is the best drunken edited summary I can post. Crucify me if necessary.
