Ben Raemers part @ 26:35

Wow, I guess they were sitting on a ton of amazing Raemers footage for awhile. I haven't been that hyped after a part in a long time.

I honestly didn't know he was this good in the streets as well as on transition. Just gifted. Those heelflips were first rate! Rest in Peace Ben.

this captures it well. Damn he was really something else to watch skate. What an awesome and enjoyable part. Made me want to skate so bad. I’m hyped to watch the rest of the video this weekend

I saw "Tiltmode" and have never clicked on something so fast. Matt Evs part ruled and all the Ben footage was awesome.  Haven't been able to skate for a bit and watching this made my day! Thanks for posting

The night footage line at 29:36 looked gorgeous, the colours and filming, so pleasing to watch.

This was really awesome to see. I grew up on Tilt Mode, they've always got me excited to skate. Love to see most of them out there still doing it; Ricky Espinosa is still switch crooking picnic tables more than 20 years later! See first line here:




Ben Raemers ripped so hard. Never knew he had such a great fs 360. Loved absolutely every clip in his part, some cool approaches to old San Jose spots.

I spent a week or two in San Jose and bumped into Halba on my first night who was down to answer all my dumb questions, such a legend. Tilt Mode forever.

My only grievance is where the hell was Julian Quevedo? I'll never tire of seeing him switch front crook.

That guy was so rad, loved his shared part with Dave Rosenberg set to the Aesop Rock song in 'Jaded'.

I'll have to give this a full watch when I get home, the prospect of Ricky Espinoza footage is very enticing.

Seems strange that this Ben footage ended up here and not in an Enjoi video.

Some of this footage is really old. The bs 360 kickflip he does over the hip was from and Enjoi demo I went to in 2011.

Yes they used my song!

I just called to say I love you. By Stevie Wonder. I sing that shit everywhere I skate. It like that Canned Heat. The Navy song. You know "sink the army sink the army grey." Madonna. I whistle endless Madonna. Jlow. My love don't Costa thing. Ghost town... Bah bah naaaaaaah

One among many reasons why you have to love Tiltmode, they use those songs.

Pros

• its a beautiful day
• what more could you ask for

[Enrico Pallazzo]

Who would’ve thought that a Tiltmode video of all things would get me emotional, but something about those montages got me thinking about the good old days and the joys and frustrations of getting older while still making time to skate.

Need a Marc Johnson big guns moment as a palate cleanser.

You and me both. I've had that Jaded part on repeat since I started skating. That was my first video, one of those childhood nostalgia hits that never goes away.

Dave Rosenberg is in this so I was really expecting some Julian, ha.

Tilt mode has always been a family favorite here. We used to gather neighborhood kids and watch that. Imitate the characters. Burn my butt with a crack pipe. Do the mirror march watch cab slam and head out into the streets.

We might look at the Hstreet Lick triple z boobs You can ring my bell shot really quickly too for extra inspiration out therenin the mean streets of Marblehood

Ben's part was amazing.

I met him about a decade ago when he was riding for eS. He was super cool and humble during our conversation.

I still watch his Heel Toe Magic part every now and again:

[Allen.]

Was not expecting Jon Choi footy! This was so good.

[yghartsyrt]

so happy to see new footage from Ben and at the same time incredibly sad that he is no more

[wax poetic]

My friends I grew up with all flew in last week for 4 days.  I hadn't seen them in 8 years and it was the first time we skated together in 8-10.  We reminisced about Tiltmode ... this is perfect!  Half way through and the only thing that would have made it better is if they were still here!

[The real veganshawn]

So good, made me miss Sacramento a lot and Ben was amazing, just wish he knew how much he was loved  :'(

[Allen.]

I love the feelings that a skate video can give us.

[Willie]

He was so great to watch.

[Jim and Dan]

Me neither, a very pleasant surprise!

Carson killed it with this video and the Ricky Espinoza footage was great, if he had thrown on a pair of Rowleys or Half-Cabs I may have actually cried tears of joy.

San Jose local here, Julian still skates, just not as much. I would see him in downtown every once in a while, but he still rips the classic spots like Bowers every once in a while!

I didn't watch right away because knew it was going to be painful, but I'm glad I finally watched Ben's part. They perfectly captured Ben's aesthetic, as I knew they would. Ben's footage was always going to be in safe hands with The Tiltmode Army. He was a full-on ATV, and such a breath of fresh air compared to the more popular skaters of his era. Every so often, skateboarding gets way too serious, and it takes guys like Ben to remind everyone that this is all just simple fun. His absence from skateboarding can't be understated.

I wish he would've opened up to someone about what he was going through, because I miss his energy and I miss watching him skate, and I know a lot of other people do too.

This made me weirdly emotional
