He’s skated exclusively with Leo and Braden for years.   Don’t remember why he just never joined Toy, but its just how it’s been

Who’s behind it?  Are they just hosting these vids (which the name implies) or are they creating these on their own.   Hate the name but they’ve done solid stuff this past month

I think Rockstar Energy is behind it. I like their vids and it's good they're trying something new.

Correct. I’m guessing Dakota Servold is behind these Foundation related ones since he had the first vid back in February about his life and athlete management role at Rockstar now. Pretty dope he’s hooking up the homies with coverage.

I’m super stoked for this video. Don Luong is so good.

I guess since I’ve watched 3 videos and had no idea it was rockstar backed, it doesn’t really seem like that of a deal.

Don’t see the problem? I think they’re done somewhat well. I’d rather watch these platform videos than whatever redbull slaps together and puts their logo on.

That being said, foundation has been making great videos in the last few years in my opinion , and I think dons got good taste

As much as I enjoy Madar’s Skate Tales everytime there’s a mandatory clip of him drinking Red Bull on screen it takes my mind away from the subject and forces me to think about all this cynical mega corporation men in suits big dollar-bullshit.

[Plan9Customs]

So there is a Lindloff part in this right? If so I guess I’ll give it a watch for the 2 people I want to see skate(others already confirmed in the previous posts).

far from it, i've watched several videos from both of these outlets actually, that's why I know they're extremely corny. the forced emotional music (often eerily similar to the original music from a classic video part that they're trying to emulate but don't want to get the rights for, see the PJ Ladd video on Storied), the editing to force some redemption narrative when there really isn't one, the supposedly organic guest appearances from Rockstar riders (Joslin just "popping up" in the Bubba Jackson video), the shilling of bullshit nostalgia decks.

shit sucks. between Pocket's Followed, Epicly Later'd, Thrasher Out There/Cold Call, Jenkem Hanging Out With, Skate Jawn $100 Chill, etc do we really need another day in the life or career retrospective video series born from Rockstar or the ashes of The Berrics to sell us energy drinks or "I Used to Skate" boards?

is it the worst thing in the world for these to exist? no, and much of skate media is marketing at the end of the day, but these outlets specifically feel more cynical than most and i think it's fine to acknowledge that.

[h00man]

the names suck but I dont mind these videos. More options for me to watch when I'm bored. I dont need to watch them, but they're there if I want to.

Also didnt Chase redeem himself

Fuck it I’m in! Even though he’s dropped a handful of amazing full lengths for these brands, I don’t think Don gets enough credit

the credit due would be the general support of the brand. I cant think of the last bad video F even made in the last forever. the worst videos they ever made were cataclysmic abyss and WTF. Only because they were coming off the heels of thats life and set the bar too high. Those videos rule tho.

Everything don has made for F starting with Oddity and the whole cole wilson movement to when glick showed up and we got splendor, star and moon, souvenir. All of which of them have been some of the better videos put out for those years.

For some reason, the general public just like to talk down on foundation with no real reason behind it other than they dont pay their team riders as much as red bull and nike does.

F gave us Steve olsen and HK, josh beagle, Leo, Duffel, Justin Strubing, Corey glick, ronnie creager, eathan fowler, angel ramirez.....

Honestly cant think of any reason to dislike this brand at any point in history

hes kind of non-existent in the whole entire skate universe at this point. who cares how much anyone is getting paid anyways? i was focused more on the quality and the watchability of the videos and their independent value. not how much tod pays julian lewis and if its fair or not...

Do you actually buy Foundation decks at full price? Not accusing you of not being genuine but just curious. All this talk is useless unless the mentioned videos actually made you want to support them.

My theory of why Foundation is truggling (besides general downturn in the industry) is that younger skaters like brands that sell them an image/dream to look up to. No kid is dreaming of skating only on weekends and working a real job to barely survive. They can do that in real life in due time. Older guys who can appreciate the vibe of current Foundation will just admire from afar and continue skating something form DLX or shop decks.

Shouts out to Don Luong. That was a no foolin', proper full length video.

Just saying from my experience foundation seemed like it wasn’t viewed great because it was run by a guy who didn’t treat his riders well - see them fucking over a young Omar Salazar or causing the mass Toy Machine exodus and it became a sub brand while Toy and zero got hot.   Duffel is a talented skater, but not who you want as the face of your brand back in the “I wish I had got on baker/zero” days

[GardenSkater77]

Jesse Lindloff is amazingly versatile. If I could skate and have hair like anyone right now it would be him.

[Just Green Enough]

there was something really magical about this video for me. beautiful stuff, don.

ruby, austin, and jesse had some insane clips.
aidan campbell just has "it" and I will always run to see footage of him.
julian clip was so perfectly captured.
