Leos style is dope, tricks were cool i feel like if it was filmed on vx it would have been fresher so it matches better with music better.

There’s a list of filmers at 1:55?

They’re good but need to skate faster.

Agree this would look better VX, but more importantly I just wish 4:3 HD was industry standard because 16:9 looks like ass and when you skate this slow, all the dead space on the sides drags everything out further.

That back tail still is so nice.

I liked the Shane Heyl style noseslide to switch manual on the ledge/loading ramp.

The quality of the filming seems to be really uneven though. Some clips were done well, some didn't do Leo any favors.

Skated a few Tacky Joy boards, they’re really solid and the graphics are tight. Leo does the art by hand too so that’s a nice plus for a board brand lately

Glue was mostly Leo as well if I recall, and it was sick, but I didn't like the shapes they were running. It's impressive that Leo can switch to a different art direction

But you are, & no matter how hard you try, you can’t ever undo that association with an inclusive community of people who are largely accepting & open minded. You can be the biggest, loudest bigot throughout the rest of your life but this one little facet of you will always be there, making you disgusted but unable to change it. A little part of you will always be woke by association. People you admire for their cruelty and ignorance will always question your validity due to your association with skateboarding. You piece of shit.

I agree he could skate a lil faster, but I also think the filming and editing did him a little dirty. Lots of long range shots with 3+ seconds of roll up left in, that's gonna exacerbate the perceived lack of speed 10 fold. Lots of roll away left in too, just a pretty slow paced edit in general. Maybe a bit more thoughtful filming and editing could have helped?
EDIT - just realized my reply is basically just a wordier version of exactly what you said, haha...

I hate to say it, but this part has all the energy of a 47 year old TM “trying to keep up with the crew at the sesh.”

Was really hoping for far fewer deadstop slides and barely moving roll-aways.

took out Gino. Since Leo is a man, do we hold him to a higher standard in skating?

You can do whatever you want champ. Or nothing at all. You can have standards, or just take the footage for what it is. Nobody gives a shit.

Was a big fan of Glue. Still got 3 decks of them on ice. Didn’t want to jump to conclusions about Leo’s speed of skating, but you guys were right -  a lot of tricks have zero roll away, especially the flip noseslide stuff. Hope he can clean that up next vid. Spot selection was nice though.

Cool that Leo is still doing things, but didn't he fuck a bunch of people over at Glue?
