How has Fully Flared not been mentioned?

[close]

The last time anybody though fully flared was the best video of all time was a week before fully flared came out

[close]

dam..this is funny asf. yeah i think fully flared kinda lowkey killed lakai. the company was never the same after that video. beware of the flare was so sick and is the "true" lakai video imho.

i remember reading a kelly bird interview back in the day saying they had to sell a bunch of vulcs and shitty shoes to make up for the loss they took making fully flared.

[close]

Lakai flew too close to the sun with FF, worked their team to the brink that they could never recover from and achieved heights they have never been able to reach subsequently. I remember Slap loving Guy's part and I too go emotional when I used to rewatch it, everyone was divided on Pops' part.

My home internet was crap so I went to an internet cafe to download the video to watch off my laptop with the usual skate crew. I was they only one enthralled from start to end, by midway they were completely checked out. I thought they were a bunch of plebs, but in hindsight they were right; the video had no reason being that drawn out.

[close]

Yeah the Ty regiment seemed like it really broke the spirits of a lot involved (or more likely he was the easy scapegoat for management) and then Pretty Sweet was the death blow

[close]

Fully flared was skateboarding's Avatar. You can say it's not a great video watching it now but denying how fucking huge it was at the time is stupid.

[close]

I’d go with Endgame.  An amazing effort and stacked cast that kind of killed everyone’s appetite for more

[close]

Maybe but i don't remember endgame at all tho. Prob fully flared is lord of the rings and pretty sweet is the hobbit. Pretty similar feeling seeing the five armies and the PS prem

Hmmm well I’ll counter by saying FF was the Deer Hunter and PS was Heavens Gate.   Both extremely indulgent, but HG collapses under the excess (and brings the expensive full length down with it) but could likely be saved with a judicious edit

After hearing crob and jeron harp on about yeah right for the 200th time I just wanted to say yeah right isn’t even top 5 of the 2000s and baker 3 is probably the best video of the era just cause kids have seen it even today. Sorrys impact is less meaningful today cause flip has been a shell of a company for 15 years but it’s definitely #2 .

The thing with yeah right is outside of Koston and p rod the average kid doesn’t know who the fuck anyone on the team is anymore. I’d go as far to say that fully flared has outdone yeah rights legacy at this point with how many of the younger pros claim that as their first video.

At the end of day though the only brand whose image has kept up with the kids is baker and that makes baker 3 the most influential video at the end of the day in my opinion.

Baker 3 wouldn’t exist if Baker2G didn’t take off like a rocket and make stars of everyone and make the deck company a necessity and it basically elevated Emerica since Reynolds, Ellington, and Greco were their riders and everyone was seemingly wearing/spray painting Reynolds back then.   Baker 2G influenced skaters, skate crews, other brands came into existence because they were trying to cash in on that image.   Rolling Stone articles, I Want to Be A Baker, all of this was pre Baker 3. 

[Shortys Hardware]

Did they launch Baker with Baker2g?

Simple reason why Baker 3 > Baker2g...Baker 2g didn't have an Ellington part

Hah well those were the days when Ellington was called the Mule bc of how hard it was to get him to film, but I’d say his contributing to the PD montage is iconic enough

Plus Baker2G had a Heath part…granted it was shared with Terry Kennedy

It was because he still skated for Zero at that point, an essential member of Baker wasn't even on the team yet. Yeah shared part doesn't count. Gettin' F U 2NITE

I don’t know that Baker really existed at the time of Baker2G.   Ellington quit zero then went back and then quit again.    Boulala is the only one who never left their original sponsor and he was who the brand was named after

Menikmati sticks out most in my mind.

Baker exists because / was named after Boulala (who had clips in both b2g & b3), who never left his original sponsor flip, which brings us back to flip making the superior video, but baker 3 coming close. It doesnt matter that kids today dont know who Arto and Bastien are and how important/ Ground breaking they were. Baker 3 being better than sorry only because baker is still relevant today is kinda weak… 

[ziggy]

the Baker of today and the Baker/PD of yesteryear are so different as to be unrecognizable, just like Flip or Girl or any company that is 20+ years old

[tadej Pog]

Most of baker 3 success is due to Antwuan… his part in youtube is revisited often by kids and grown mans.

Yeah Right reach 3 million views

Flip Sorry is only 354k views

Baker 3 has only 49k views in 8 years

Antwuan part alone has 2,5 millions

[El Freegano]

This thread is gonna make me watch all the listed videos again and then i will vote.
I think i have seen sorry the most from the listed ones, closely followed by this is skateboarding and photosyntesis.
After 2005/6 i just didn't pay a lot of attention to the skateboarding world and have been catching up the last 5 years.
Well... i am starting with yeah right now and will continue with the others the following days

Not sure it can be broken down quite so simply. Way more people are going to watch a 3 minute clip than an hour long video. Individual parts from any video probably have a ton more views than whatever full lengths they're from

Yeah that's a weird one. Don't know exactly how YouTube works but the yeah right on Crails YouTube only has 88k views. Maybe that echoboom sports chanel had the only hd upload for a while most the other yeah right parts from about the same age are in really shit quality.

[kingcheese]

view counts don’t really show impact and influence from 20 years ago. it’s not my favorite but dying to live is a way better watch than most of these. flip sorry certainly had the best team and skating but I’m still skipping a bunch of parts. cant imagine trying to sit through all of fully flared in 2023

Again fully flared is avatar lol.
I actually did watch it recently and it's def long but the skits aren't as jarring as other Crail videos and it's easier to watch in 2023 that it was from 2012-2018. (About 5 years is somewhat recent, around 7-12 things are the worst and coming up at about 15 years they get ok again)

Five pages deep and no mention of Real to Reel?

There was a lot of hype around This is Skateboarding and the DC Video around the times of their releases

Baker 3 felt like one of the first videos that was instantly accessible on the internet. Yeah of course that video probably had the largest influence on skateboarding culture of the decade

FF was all anyone talked about for nearly 2 years (lead-up and after its release). FF basically broke the internet back then

Sorry! is goat-level for all the reasons previously stated

Mosaic was my personal favorite from the minute it dropped through today. Pretty fucking perfect and timeless

How dare you diminish Alex Chalmers' contribution to skate culture at large. That part birthed one of the greatest skate quotes of all time.

Also, Rune rules.

[Fartknocker415]

its important to put this into perspective what this period was like if you were not old enough to drive.  we are so spoiled now that when we are lucky for a team to drop a full-length, we get it on YouTube instantly, or worse, thrasher, but the point is that we all get that video at the same time and can watch it easily.  back then, before YouTube, you had to know someone who had the video, or you had to have the means to get the video yourself. 

Me and my homies would skate to the shop just to watch yeah right

[rawbertson.]

re: did Baker Launch with Baker 2G

From what I remember, Baker Bootleg came out (all leftovers from The End + on birdhouse boards, no baker boards yet, full boulala part) then shortly after maybe 6 months, the ads and boards first dropped, and then like within another few months they had baker 2G out.

Menikmati and then This is Skateboarding are 2 really important videos because of how well they were executed and elevated Sole Tech into such a huge force

Mostly it was Board Teams before and when you have a shoe company you will get guys from a wider variety of board sponsors which results in a really different dynamic. but shoes really turned the page here and started paying a lot of skaters a lot of money and obviously the big 4 took note of this and took over soon after
