dylans definitely the MVP of the video. too many good tricks to name and none of it was cliched or anything. dude just redrum'd some spots. the only other guy to do anything up that gap is westgate. you know you're in good company if you can say that.
pappalardo seemed like an asshole with the way he was talking to that crack addict.
guy mariano and omar salazar surprise. that was pretty cool.
i think paulo diaz surprisingly had some of the best "new" tricks in there. felt like a really cool throwback without feeling forced. so many kids are going to be half flipping their boards now. also that no grab airwalk was siiiick. that was a smart addition on strobecks part.
alex's metal wallride couldve been really sick but strobeck keeps moving around. its a setpiece spot, keep the fucking camera in one place so its easier to enjoy the trick. wtf was that? the trick on the ping pong table also seemed really sick but its too bad i cant really see it. and then the massive barrier ollie. is he shaking the camera around on purpose? i dont get it. hes a good filmer. i dont know why i have such high expectations of alex everytime hes in a video, he has like 15 tricks total, and it leads to massive disappointment everytime i see him skate on film. everything was sick but i thought he was going to have a ton of shit like dylan did.
if antuwan was in this you guys would all be crying about how supreme was exploiting him for the money, but since its young black kids you guys are cool? i dont get how that works.
tyshawn is fucking great, lots of good tricks, dude really went for it. it sucks he didnt have a real part though. the lifestyle stuff reminds me of knox gadoy, dudes definitely going to be huge. hes got the skating and the personality.
honestly aside from tyshawn the rest of them are pretty underwhelming. for how hyped they are, i was expecting some mindblowing shit.
but whoever did the lipslide with the two benches on each side, that was sick.
also sean pablo looks like he's forcing his style hard.
dill and ave were sick, nothing too crazy but it was solid stuff, i guess theyre saving the heavy stuff for the vans video?
music was good. janes addiction and INXS were a nice touch. the video seemed like chickenbonenowison but in HD and with way more pretense. beagle and reynolds should get a shout out or something.
the video was good but not really what i was expecting at all. didn't like how it was in montages. makes it hard to rewatch this video in pieces but i suppose that might be what he wanted?
i get where the hype is coming from but with the amount of sameness in this video im surprised you guys are so hyped on it.
Almost every Nakel Smith trick was a banger (especially Gap back feeble at the Williamsburg Monument) if anything he might be the most developed out of that whole young crew (he looks the oldest though) i had a feeling people were gonna overlook his footy, and i dunno if you realize how big that kickflip Kevin Bradley did towards the end was...surprised no one back tailed the Amsterdam rail in Harlem before this video....Furthermore i disagree i think Tyshawn was the video MVP besides the tricks he just seemed like the face for the vid, Dylan's stuff was amazing though.
Nakel was good but in a not as holy shit kind of way. you're acting like this is the first time you saw someone skate some rails. Jake Ruiz makes me go holy shit , this not so much. Im not even saying hes a bad skater, hes good, it just didn't match the hype for me. Also I'm not fully aware of how big that spot kev kickflipped but that goes back to strobecks kindof shitty filming. I can tell its big but I'm getting zero sense of the spot with the way strobeck moves the camera. I shouldn't be noticing this stuff.
Also its pretty inconsistent the way this message board was pissed off at baker for all the antuwan lifestyle shots but you guys are cheering tyshawn on for all his random shit. He was definitely the focus of the video but as far as skating is concerned Dylan just killed it way harder.
Also didn't palace use that gang gang dance song ? Bill is such a whiner when other people reuse songs but then here he is doing it in his own video. Not a good look.
Nakel is only the third person to get a trick on that specific gap to rail the other 2 are Westgate (gap lip) and Brian Delatorre (gap crooked grind?) and that spots been around forever, maybe its a "you gotta see how big it is in person to realize" thing, that east coasters sometimes complain about. I dont know what kinda hype they built for him or the video other than the 1 min promo and an interview or two not sure what you expected from that.
As for the not having a sense of size of the bradley kickflip because of your qualms with Strobeck's camera work, it was also a nike ad...
Ive never been angry at Twuan for the record and never will, The Tyshawn stuff was random albeit entertaining, i do see your point..
Lastly i never heard that thing about strobeck and abd music...but yea i immediately noticed that song was in Palace's "Gangbanging at Ground Zero" also Dylan's song INXS - Never Tear Us Apart had already been used for Lurker Lou's part in Iron Claw "Faux One One" both were really recent and popular so i highly doubt he wasnt aware..but it doesnt say he was in charge of the Music Supervision in the credits, also its interesting that they had to have gotten clearances for them too..
All and all its a really great shop video, even when you consider they do have a lot more access to things most shops don't. They used their resources well and i think mostly lived to the hype.
