TX had my favorite part, dude is amazing and seems to keep getting better.

Rowley, Luan, Apples, Vov's and David Gonzalez parts were highlights

Music was shit all around

Tom Penny's part was not too shabby at all, but haters are gonna hate

Lance's part was a pleasure to watch

the rest was meh

[cigarettedeer]

I thought it was decent.

[vince the stud]

The Good:

Geoff - Of Course. He killed it. Has such a basic, clean way of skating-and you can always see him pushing after every trick because he's having fun. Great song and great part. Where was a cougar getting shot out of a tree? I gotta say, the last part with him and Lemmy reading was kinda corny.

Appleyard - I think maybe this part won't be thought of as epically as his last two, but the skating is still unbelievable and his style is so casual.

David Gonzales - I don't know how people don't like him. He skates so raw, has a good style, and goes incredibly fast. What more do you want?

Lance - This might have been the best edited part in the video. It was just really cool. Also-was that Neil Blender dressed in a wig watching Lance do the invert? Or was it Lance himself? Great song, great vibe-very inspirational. Of all the Bones Brigade guys I think you can say that Lance has kept it the most real over the years, and seems like the most genuine skate rat of the bunch.

Bob Burnquist - He might be the gnarliest skater on earth. What was up with the no-landing shots of some of his tricks? Like the switch backside tailslide on the mega-rail?

The Bad:

Luan - Amazing skater, but would love for him to ditch the crossed-arms-squatting-down-before-every-trick style. Also, terrible song.

Louie Lopez - I have a feeling this kid is going to be amazing. He's got Guy-Mariano-video-days level little kid-maturity in style and tricks. Part was a little short however, and again, terrible song.

Curran Caples - Was a little unimpressed, but I'd like to see him get really good in a few years-he has a good style.

Willow - Pretty sick style. But most of the rumors about his stunts proved to be false.

Rune - He kills transitions, but his part never really captures how fast he goes or made it look as sick as it is. A handful of his tricks were insane though. Also: Dear Europe, Prodigy sucks.

The Ugly:

Shane Cross - I really, really, really hate to say this, but the way they edited Shane's part was insanely bad. I guess I get that they were trying to capture his personality and what he was like when he was alive, and to give the feeling that he is in a better place now-I just didn't like the way it was done, it felt trivial, considering that this human being is dead. I guess in a personal sense I feel it is kind of in bad taste to remember Shane in his last part as just some stoner guy, which is kinda how it makes him look. But whatever, if his friends and family like it I guess that's all that matters.

The Eh:

Ali - Obviously hasn't been able to film a full part, but there were some cool things in there. I don't know how to feel about the Pink Panther song, but I enjoyed watching it.

Rodrigo TX - Might be the most slept on part - he has about 20 unbelievably sick tricks. Not to many people have the kind of control he does. Another terrible song, however.

Tom Penny - A handful of sick tricks. Why does he dress like that? They should have just filmed him talking for 3 minutes instead of skating IS DIS REAL OR IS DIS REALLY REAL.

The Editing - was a pretty mixed bag in my eyes. They took a lot of risks, some of it works and is fun/interesting, some of it is annoying and will be worse on repeated viewings. But in a general sense I think they have a success here, and the video definitely stands out from everything else being released right now.

lance as a different part because the filming and perhaps the editing was done by a nike guy

[PumpkinEsc0bar]

Really? That was one of my guesses, but if it was him the footage must have been really old considering he hasn't dressed that way in about 6 years.

pretty sure it was rowley, that's what i thought. why wouldnt it be him? he did have a large collection of hats throughout the part

its arto, its from a distructo ad earlier this year.

[Fongstarr.]

I thought the video was sick. Still haven't seen all of it but for the most part, it was a solid video. The music as said wasn't the best but I think it was better then some of Flips other songs in other videos. But I thought this was better then Mindfield. The only thing that really seemed like it was missing was Arto and Bastien. Just doesn't seem like a Flip video without them.

Apples part was good, so was david's.  I wish there were more lines, but the video was rad.


Why did Arto leave Flip?

[close]

i know what you mean, apples part were mostley single tricks. i loved all the lines his did in sorry, really sorry

rewatch that really sorry part. there's not as many line in there as you think. there's only like three or four. and i'm kind of upset at how old some of appleyard's footy is, but his tricks at the end are crazy.

[GnarlesManson]

pretty hyped on lance skating to the damned. made me feel like i was watching an old black label video.

and the bone brigade video show references made me happy

I guess they took it out.  A lot of people were pretty pissed off about it at the prermiere.

[CigaretteBeer]

I do not give a shit about this video but Gnarles Manson sent a link so I watched some of it. I watched Geoff, Shane Cross, Ali Boulala, Appleyard, Penny and that little mexican kid that looks like a girl. I am frightened of claymation so that was a horrible experience for me, and I'm guessing most other people. Geoff's song and part were good, Shane Cross had some good stuff with terribly horrible editing and effects, Ali's stuff was ok, Tom Penny's clothes really ruin his tricks, I miss 1995 Penny, Appleyard is amazing and deserves to be on a better company, the mexican kid is good and really wants to be super gnarly hessian dude or whatever, but if he died I wouldn't really care. Pretty shitty video with some really good skateboarders

Here's a mondo crapulent video review for fartknockin sugar daddyz:

[PsychOut]

i just realised Lance part made it out to be one season of skating, his wearing the same clothes and skating the same board for his whole part, wouldnt it be amazing if he actually filmed his whole part in one day.

You are really stupid, and you mean "session" not "season". I think you meant to write "realized" instead of "realised", which isn't a word at all. Instead of "his" I believe you were trying to write "he's". Are you from Brazil by any chance?

[PsychOut]

naa i just cant type for shit, i can spell but i cant type and spell, it sounds retarted.

[cja105]

Well, I just watched it for the first time this evening (thanks to somebody posting a link) and I gotta say this video is a mixture of the good, the bad and the ugly. I'm not motivated enough to write a proper review (Nick Dagger did a fairly good job above), but in a nutshell, it's basically fairly decent skating ruined by bad music and extremely (!) amateur editing/art direction. Bob Burnquist is insane though and TX really came through.

[CigaretteBeer]

Do you have dyslexia? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyslexia

[Vans.and.Vnecks]

I was slightly let down but not because of the music, editing, art direction, or any of that bullshit that I don't know why you all care about so much. I was let down because I had imagined the parts would be longer. (From what I can remember) Rodrigo and David Gonzalez were the only two parts that seemed to be a good length considering how long they took to make the video.

i don't get why people even bother posting stuff that's like "OMFG YOU MISSPELLED THE FOLLOWING WORDS IN A VERY MILD WAY!" who fucking cares?

mistaking "session" as "season" and "he's" as "his" aren't even misspellings, they're entirely different words with completely different meanings. i didn't even understand psychout's post initially from the mistakes.

To his defence though most english speaking nations spell realised and other similar words with the 's' as opposed to the states who use a 'z'

The only thing that really seemed like it was missing was Arto and Bastien. Just doesn't seem like a Flip video without them.

So what you're trying to say is:

The soundtrack was better than Sorry/Really Sorry (Bowie, Tom Petty, Gray Matter, The Smiths etc.)?
It was better than Mindfield (probably the best video in the 21st century)?

To each his own, but those statements are quite ludacris. It's like saying Josh Kaspers "The Storm" part was better than Dill's "Photosynthesis" part.
