“Squeaky” The Violet Video

[Democratic Republic Of Mongo]

Some good clips here and there but overall I’m a bit grossed out.

[camel filters]

Damn this kinda just re-bummed me out that Kader quit Baker for this.

But I guess this is still what's current and cool. You would think with the short attention span of younger people that this 2014 style of videos would be out of vogue by now. Violet team seem like good friends. I hope at some point Strobeck hands editing duties over to someone in their friend group. It doesn't even have to be something I like but I'd feel better that it'd be a lot more authentic.

Yeah bro just ask about the music in the comments and we'll act like we didn't see your post

I kinda feel that this vid is what happens when you get a bunch of gen z kids - who came up in the era of the online montage edit - to film for a full length. I get the impression that they don't know what a 'full length' really is, so they approached filming for this just like any other casual online project. This was their chance to really shine, but a lot of them just didn't follow through, with some of them producing footage that was considerably worse than what they've put out in the past.

Regardless:
-Kris B, Mike W and Troy were all fantastic
-Kader's footage was great (but there should of been more of it)

This is also pretty funny, considering that YouTube automatically puts the music info in the description (or at least most of it).

I will not elaborate.

What a disappointment, the music was shit, had to skip through it to Kader's part, which had good tricks but also bad music and too much b-roll.

Bill should give the footage to someone else to do a 20min re-edit.

It’s like being repeatedly subjected to someone’s creepy fetish after telling them, “I’m not interested and I’ve already reported you to Human Resources.”

Anybody else getting big homophobe vibes from this poster?

Are you comparing this picture to homosexuality? That would make you rather homophobic.

[drinkwaterjamie]

Someone said it but very AO vibes from Pat
Really enjoyed Mike Ward and Kris's parts
Hoping to see more of Seven this year
Efron's part was pretty cool too
Was hoping to see more clips of Kader but the clips that he had were pretty buck

[Love Parked]

Crazy Vid! Lost Some Steam Towards The Middle But The Last Few Parts Were Great, Wasnt Really Familiar With Troy Gipsons Game Before This. Kader KF 5050 With The Blunt In His Mouth Was Great

You Can Def Tell What Bill Filmed Lol

It's a joint

[assvogel]

Would be more funny to be a hater, but really liked this. Efron, Kader Troy Gibson, Patrick O'Mara really sick, Philly dudes too. Samhain in Joe Campos' part, surprising Danzig (no pun intended) hasn't taken this down yet.

I’m still kind of confused on Seven. Besides having a cool name, there’s nothing really remarkable about him imo. His tricks just kinda blend together and they just feel like they’re there, it’s hard to explain but I get no excitement nor does he look like he’s excited about skating either.

[close]

I feel like he showed a lot of promise with past supreme vids and was progressing in a great way but ultimately this part felt really flat besides a few tricks

[close]

dude is really good.  Pre Kader Violet i thought he was gunna be the main guy.

Came back here after watching to ask why Seven had such a weak part. Did he get hurt a lot or going the KB route?

[rawbertson.]

the guy who was doing all the big heels over the garbage bin was godlike

[parasocial skater]

it's shocking how much better cherry is than this
and im not just talking about the skating

I was very stoked for the first couple parts at how un-modern strobecky the filming and editing was feeling. It had his knack for good color grading without butchering the clips with the angles too much, and the tedious intermissions between clips were not only very toned down, but I also found some of them to be quite enjoyable.

My god did that fall apart quickly though! Around the 10 minute mark it became half very entertaining skating and half a boring chore to sit through.

As far as the skating:

-Joe Campos: Definitely not his best part, but still a Joe Campos part. Very good but wouldn't have given him first part.
-Mike Ward: Very nice
-Seven: Good enough
-Kyle Teh: They really need to decide wether this dude's a proper team rider or not. Either give his skating the treatment you give for the other team riders, or just make him the homie who has guests clips in the videos. This sort of in-between things sucks. I like dude's style and would happily sit through a full video part rather than feel like he's getting patronized every video for no reason
-Auguste: First time I've kinda enjoyed this dude's footage. Just when thinking about how he's kinda sick when he tones down the fake steez he hit us with this though


-Efron and Kris MVP's. Give Efron a pro board!
-Patrick: Some good stuff in there, but the editing really made this one hard for me
-Troy Gipson: Not as good as I would've hoped, but still great
-Kader: This whole time my man was only sitting on 10 clips...

Imagine sawing through a bunch of shit to do this:

damn didn't notice what was going on in that clip when I first watched it. Dude was deadass fucking up someone's construction site just to roll over a spine for a video part only like 4 of us on here even cared enough about to comment on

[Mickey Knox]

Video was a shit show but I was really impressed by Kader’s footage. He could have used at least another minute but some of those clips were jacked. It was sketchy but I really liked the switch back tail on the tall rail and the nollie heel front board at the banks was nuts. I just can’t believe they didn’t get a second angle of the switch fs flip, bill butchered the clip again just like KB’s kickflip. That misfits song in Campos part was horrendous as well. Can we just get Kader back on Baker already?

[Scrotal_Recall]

Its all drenched in a nostalgia that doesnt pertain to the skaters in the video at all.
Where is the real time culture/music and all the mad energy that comes with that?

This some caught in amber, jurassic park, Richard attenboroughs walking stick dogshit!

[lydius]

yeah, I feel like I'm in the minority too, but I actually liked it for what it was. I kind of get Efron now and really liked their part. Pat O'Mara has a ton of potential, and it's obvious there were multiple nods to AO. it did feel like a successor to Blessed with the new generation, though I would still say Blessed is a heavier video. I can appreciate Bill making sure that the video reflected ALL the youth who skate nowadays and who might identify with Violet.

[in love w/ fs shuvs]

he needed more transition clips for it to be AO vibes imo

if anything joe skates more like AO but 2x gnarlier

kader is also nice at tranny but mostly just on ig/throwaway from what i've seen

[outis]

I got through the 14th minute of the Efron part before I started fast forwarding. Got to Kader's part, it was amazing but also horribly edited. Completely botched the last trick. Pretty disappointing overall.

There was nothing sketchy about that switch back tail lol

[Dj Paul]

Not trying to be that guy but main Kader tricks are just average clips for dudes like Miles Silvas, Carlos Ribeiro and James Foy. The diference is that these guys dont have cool factor and the hype around them. Maybe because they are very productive and never put a "full part"with 11 tricks.

Im sure that foy and others can do that mouth blunt kick flip 50 50 with a Muska boombox in their hand.

This is true. There’s also a quick new Supreme edit in Brazil that includes Nik Stain doing another noseslide, mobbed kickflip, and mobbed ollie. It’s a psyop.
