Baekkel is a psychopath. Gabriel part was sick. weird combo but great skating.

[Arto!Arto!WakeUp!]

would love to hear if anyone has any stories of kevin scoping out a spot and deciding it was too gnarly.

seems every time he puts out a part it's a solid ten minutes with every clip involving at least some chance of getting fucked up forever.

[alraunen]

Baekkel part is mind-blowing, probably one of best of the year so far.

What is beyond medals? I never heard about them Seems to be be a clothing brand/Production company from ¿Monster Energy? So weird

[Troubadour26]

this was a really fun watch. Gabriel’s flip tricks are sort of magical & I never know if Kevin will be going so fast coming off the rails that he’ll deck check the sidewalk

Loved the Men I Trust track too

Kevin is fucked. He snapped.

[winecrab]

Kevin is fucked. He snapped.

He didn't need to go that hard for this. I'm guessing beyond medals pays well.

Great video. Solid filming too. I really enjoyed Kevin skating to that first song. I thought it worked well more than his normal fast, aggressive music in most of his parts.

it's easier to just copy it out of the address bar.

Kevin had no reason to do this. He is straight up insane. That second song was like all enders

[funeral_tuxedo]

I wasn’t feeling the Rocky 4 intro- but I liked Gabriel Fortunato’s ender and Kevin Baekkel’s skating is fucking gnarly.

dunno how they did it, but that band gamed the fuck out of the yt algorithym.

their music videos were getting pushed on me everyday for months despite me never having engaged in any sort of online behaviour that would suggest i wanted to listen to them, specifically. i don't even listen to much music that's even *that* similar to them...

[QixHexagon]

Nice touch with Lô Borges (Gabriel's second song). Really like Gabriel's style, really light and fluid.

Many of Kevin's tricks deserved a second angle. Not saying shit about the filming at all, I just feel the angle of some didn't truly show how crazy the tricks were (the gap to crook in the electric box on the street and that gap to white ramp/stairs, for instance).

Beyond Medals is a snowboarding crew / video crew from somewhere in Europe.  I'm not sure if they make much if any product.  They've been making edits for years though.  The guys rip and make great vids.

They're supported by Monster which is why, I'm guessing, this video features Gabriel and Kevin.

[ungzilla]

reminded me of those rodney mullen vs jamie thomas vids from the 90s

[bbk]

It's actually a clothing company by two swedish pro snowboarders.

Maybe that’s what they’ve flipped it into but it
Was definitely a Swedish snowboard filming crew.
Kevin Backstrom and Tor Lund.

Great video.
Gabriel is amazing.
Where is he from?

Kevin Bækkel is nuts!

[conan777]

Damn that was sick! Putting energy drink logos on band shirts is unforgivable though.

Ive been listening to them since they first started, and the past year without an album drop or anything else significant, they completely blew up. Believe it was Tiktok, skyrocketed them from an established but moderately known indie band in 2021 when their last full album released to megastars today. Most their plays on spotify used to be based in Canada now LA, Jakarta, Chicago and London are their top play locations. Tiktok makes bands world wide phenomenon seemingly overnight. Once you blow up on one platform people engage with it on others and it snowballs. Stoked for them for making it big without needing to sign with a label, but even as a fan the rate at which they grew gave me whiplash

That said the song in Gabriel's section I thought worked really well, loved his part and the Milton Nascimento track was a great fit as well

[shouldn't]

gabriel's ender, fucking hell

as insane as everything kevin did was, that trick took the fucking cake for me by a long shot. i feel like if cyrus or someone just ollied into that i would trip, switch over/in then all the way down is just a straight up suicide mission.

[Mallie]

God damn, that Baekkel part was STRESSFUL.

[RoaryMcTwang]

Fortunato got steeze and Bakkel is a nutcase, odd combo but insane skating

[frtzgn95]

this kevin guy skates like he hates living in this society. his motto is "skate and die."
