i kinda regretted buying it until i got to haslam's part. SO good. the only parts i enjoyed before his were willow's and lewis marnell's. the rest, insane as the skating was, just didn't do it for me. and i hate to say it, but daewon might have had my least favorite part. he had some really cool daewon-esque stuff in there, but some of that rock skating was just dumb.

This video was well worth $5.99. Willow's part was absolutely insane and I really can't get over that front shuv nosepick transfer. Daewon is a master, but it's pretty funny how the dude appears to have never left like a ten mile radius of where he lives in Cali. I wonder if he doesn't even go on any of the trips.

Daewon seems like kind of an obsessively phaseal skater. He'll often go through stints of skating primarily one thing - crazy picnic bench combos in Round 1, picnic benches over roof gaps in I.E., that warehouse he had in the Deca days, mini-ramp stuff, Washington Street, and now just shit you're not even supposed to skate at all, like tree stumps and logs. I was at a premiere last night and his part got the biggest cheers. That, and Lewis Marnell's intro. I enjoyed the video a lot.

my shop had a little video premier today, it was pretty cool, liked the video, i really want to try and skate a rock now, this video reminded me how good chris haslam, also willows shuv nosepick, lewis switch frontside flip up the gap, and dawoen early grab into water

willow and haslam! cooper wilt is a rad person to watch too. just seems pumped on what he skates and doesn't chuck himself.

I get the feeling that Daewon is constantly looking for weirder shit to skate because he's too fucking good on a board to do "normal" tricks

Best part of the video was "I kill you". The music wasn't great, but not unbearably shitty like the last blind video, which is what I expected. The only enjoyable parts were Cooper and Daewon, they get creative and make it look cool. Everyone else I was just thinking "holy fuck man chill on the flip tricks and make your style less gross".

Willow, Youness, Marnell, Issey.. Sure they can do all the hard flip tricks down big gaps, but it looks like shit. Dont even get me started on Chris Clown College Haslam.. Dude's pushing 40, dresses like he's 15, and makes skating look as ridiculous as devil sticks. Call me an asshole, but I paid for it so I can talk shit if I want.

Wasn't it made pretty clear in Daewon's Epicly Laterd that he's always over doing things in terms of skateboarding? I'm pretty sure people were saying the same thing when his earlier parts first came out.

The Ghost of Lenny Kirk · « **Reply #158 on:** June 04, 2012, 03:18:19 AM »

Daewon took vibing on skating rocks from core-guy-cliche to legit.

Also all that non-spot spot skating was sick. Bobby puleo eat your heart out.

Haslam was over the top. Loved it. If alex olson was more technical his style would remind me of haslams.

Willow has the jordan richter part in this video. I dont want almost videos for the gap skating. I watch them for the cutting edge crazy shit. Plz drop him. That part felt so out of place.

Cooper wilts still good.

The montage was really good. Put the crazy vert guy and cj tamborino on and drop willow.

Loved the cheeseburger spill in the credits. They shouldve put that somewhere in one of the parts.

For being billed a half-video it felt pretty long and legit.

I was hoping for a cheese n crackers redux with the curb skating but this video was sick too. Maybe for their next video short after the mullen part?

The daewon nature skating concept part is my favorite in the whole video and will be on repeat for a while.

pekkaaa · « **Reply #159 on:** June 04, 2012, 03:41:07 AM »

The video was pretty good. Flow section, Wilt and Haslam had my favorite parts.
As much as I love watching Daewon, this part didn't quite do it for me.

penguin meat · « **Reply #160 on:** June 04, 2012, 06:28:22 AM »

Lots of awesome wacky stuff in there as expected. Like many have said, Daewon's tree and rock skating didn't really do it for me. He did have some rad, creative tricks though. I don't usually rewatch Marnell's parts but I liked this one.

Ripped Laces · « **Reply #161 on:** June 04, 2012, 07:35:29 AM »

Have been watching Cooper's & Lewis parts on repeat. Those two were my favorite. You can tell that Cooper was just having fun while filming his part but it definitely has to be seen over and over to appreciate some of the harder tricks he did in there.

Also, Daewon was simply having fun. The guy can put out a part that would make all of our brains explode but the fact of the matter is that he's trying to remind everyone what you're suppose to be doing on your skateboard. I really dug all of the firecracker manual tricks, I can't believe that hasn't been mentioned yet...

Crazy Ralph · « **Reply #164 on:** June 04, 2012, 08:11:58 AM »

went into it not expecting much after reading through this thread, but was pleasantly surprised. good watch, great skating, and hyped that cj tamborino is finally getting some recognition

Just saw on Daewon's Instagram. He said he saved "a lot" of footy for his new part in December. Guess he's concentrating on that more so then his 5 Incher part.

just bought it from iTunes. its pretty sick. youness is fucking amazing.

I wonder if that's when Rodney is hoping to be done with his part. Round 4?

exlurker · « **Reply #176 on:** June 04, 2012, 06:20:15 PM »

I think it's pretty rad that they put this out with as little hype as they did. I thought Marnell had the best part. I like a lot of Haslam's wizadry but I don't think late kickflips/pop-footed kickflips can look ungross. Again, rad to get a high quality vid without months of previews and speculation.

Chron Artest · « **Reply #177 on:** June 04, 2012, 06:46:11 PM »

glad people are feeling lewis' part, it was one of my favorites as well (actually, I liked them all!). long flip in slide tricks like whoa. and youness' last trick was pretty damn gnarly too. good job almost!

Daewon doing NBD's doesn't count - they stay NBD until a real human does them.

hey guys shoot a PM to me! really need to see this !!!! pretty please.
