holy fuck jeremy leabres. so hyped to see a comeback, one of my all time favorites. to echo what was previously said, it's sick to see how his trick selection has pivoted from what it once was (i love both of his eras). would love for him to jump ship from emerica and get paid
loved myles' shit as well

That was cool

Anyone know what the deal is with who's making Toy boards these days? I've never skated one, and that video got me stoked to try one of the classic graphics. The woodshop thread was a bit confusing on whats actually going on.

Most of the pro boards are PS stix
the Team boards are either Clutch or BBS

I’ve really disliked everything I’ve seen of Cordano, which has mostly been SLS. But this changed my opinion of him, I thought all of his tricks  were unique and looked good.

After re watching I noticed the blunt to boardslide from that thrasher article wasn’t in there. I really want to see the footage of that.

Only the original monster graphic and the fists graphic are BBS from what I’ve seen at our shop. Almost everything else seems to be PS Stix

People forgot that cordano is a kid. He just turned 20. Dreaming to beat Nyjah is dope. I hope he does that shit

This felt like a somewhat real continuation of toy machine and I thought everyone fit nicely together minus cordanno and Rowley with his tung out (was a lot.) Myles and leabres had my fav parts they make skating look fun and cool also that 50 to wall ride Georgia did was dope Foy did that frontnoseslide to wall ride that was similar - I think that’s a cool kind of trick / spot that I never thought of before those 2 clips I think

He’s 20!? That’s a full grown ass seasoned man.

That’s like Mike Tyson type shit.

The dis at Blake carpenter was amazing wow
[close]
did anyone else feel like it was also a diss at trapasso/life extension? the ‘fe’ was the same font as ‘le’. jeremy had the best part in my opinion, hoban did hoban things. myles was sick.

edit : also forgot to mention that i liked how the used the dolls in the intro, reminded me of jump off a building. just remembered that the restricted rating was done in the beginning of heavy metal as well.
What was the diss part j watched the vid n didn’t pick up on it - the doll and other art stuff I also thought was p good on this one but felt to polished and hd for the style of art and imagery

His whole family apparently pitches in financially to help him achieve his dream of being a pro skater per his recent Thrasber interview

Fun vid. Georgia looks like she has big potential. Loved Axel's trick selection and Braden killed it as always
Way too much SloMo here, single angle slow motion should be illegal

I didn’t mind that, just thought there was too much “subliminal” messaging throughout

Did not expect a full part from Leabres, assuming his knee is better nowadays? Really awesome stuff.

Ninna nanna per adulteri worked nicely with Shiloh Catori's skating. Definitely too many "subliminal message" title cards in general. Negatively affected the pacing which was otherwise great.

Really enjoyed the video so far. I'm overly excited about the the two Native Nod songs they used

Great video, will need to watch it again. Surprised they didn't use some Motorhead for the 2 Geoff Rowley clips

I am not really enjoying much of anything in life right now (no don’t worry it’s not a cry for help, I’ve felt worse)

But watching this is giving me good tingly feelings inside again…. Until probably I go out and skate and fuck something else up. Lulz.

well wtf, is it that easy to make me a loyal pawn?

Lol. Eldee is definitely a human. He’s like a raider on horse back who’s kinda scared to do battle. Somehow he closes his eyes and swings his sword wildly and wakes up in a pile of dead orcs.

You sure they weren't four different Placebo songs? I know older heads will have a soft spot, cos Appleyard, but come on. That band is straight ASS, with the same whining in every track.
Now, we used to say we put on our tights to put on the world. So I don't think it tarnishes the image at all.

Braden is so sick.

Front feeble kickflip over into the bank was unreal that was crazy.

Kickflip front 50 on that huge marina rail is no joke that's ridiculous has anyone else flipped into that thing yet?

Kickflip over the handicap rail and the curb into the street was too good dude was just floating. The foot coming off st tje end gave me goose bumps.

Kickflip gap crooks is insane.

4 really dope kickflip tricks he's got a sick one for sure. What's rad is that I would have quicker guessed I'd be saying that about impossible so was pleasantly surprised there there was only the one, (the down the stairs was a 3shuv 2 me). Glad the street league/hubba shit didn't seem to effect his skating like it does others. Nigel and the Japanese children rip but there street footy just looks like street league practice. Braden still looks genuine out there so good for him. But it would be cool to see what a part of his would look like if he didn't get crazy at that hubby contest. Wasted a lot of dope tricks on that shitty contest. Wish there was more money in professional skateboarding so dudes like this didn't have go do the contest shit cause I feel like this dude capable of so much more of he didn't have to spend the kasy year or two doing the lame contest shit.

Daiki had one of the most styled-out backside flips caught on film.

Love that Lincoln Ueda’s son is ripping.

Cordano skates almost Barley-like and fits Toy well imho.

Leabre’s part would've been the Jump Off A Building ender.

I wouldn't have been mad at all if Shiloh got a pro model at the premiere with how great her footage was.
