New Strobeck Vid "King Puppy" w/GT footage

[Shitbag]

I hate anything that tricks me into listening to Van Halen.

SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH Van Halen from 1978-1982 is fucking damn near untouchable in terms of arena rock and I'm sorry if you feel otherwise but they fucking ruled in this era.
I think the intro is heavy as shit and I thought it was gonna cut out at the beginning of Pretty Woman but it wasn't a terrible choice to keep it going but just the instrumental on its own is fire.

[LifeHammered]

Grant is god. Not a strobeck fan though that shit is terrible. Wish there were alt angles. Also gip, that is in no way a fling and pray. I'm guessing he can do it 95% of the time he tries. Luan and others have that trick on lock as well. You're up to $150 awaiting your fling and prayer though.

[The Ghost of Lenny Kirk]

filming was bad and joe cups used that van halen song better

grant still rules tho

r.i.p. supreme bowl

what he said ^^... DLR era-Van Halen is the shit.  All the radio hits leave a bad taste in your mouth but those early records are fucking great.

That intro was used in The House Vid, I believe.

I don't see (although I'm not surprised) how anyone could not enjoy that... 5 minutes of ripping.

Grant is great and all, but fuck every single trick like this. They are all some bullshit fling and pray garbage. Literally anybody could do it if they flung their board at a bench long enough, and soon enough, you are going to be going to spots where all the 15 year olds with one rail on their board, converse all stars, and flood pants are spending all day doing the fling and pray, and its going to suck

I will personally PayPal you $50 if you can film yourself doing this exact trick over a picnic table

[close]

I'm in on the $50 PayPal deal also.

[close]

Literally anyone can ollie a 20 stair if they jumped down it enough!!

I tried learning the one Carroll does but could never get it good like that

[PAWL]

gip is all gab. you're keeping your money, folks...

[pabloalvarado]

So the 917 video is going to be free online ?! 

[Zurg]

is this $50 flinger challenge available to anyone?

i liked it, but it did feel lazy. that song was used in the last couple years in something more enjoyable. something that GT was in actually...

was that in a wider aspect than usual? im usually kinda into the fat bill filming style, but i felt like he managed to chop off peoples heads and feet in the same shot

[tobey]

I hate to think about how many amazing clips have been wasted because of Strobeck's terrible filming

He really did ruin the clips that he filmed of Tyshawn in Away Days. Imagine if he was the only filmer for his Love Park banger? He fucking blew that so hard

[Getty]

Loved it all - the filming, the skating, the music, all of it. Keep it coming, Bill...

[Burt Ward]

This zooming in has to stop. It's so played out after such a short time. The rest ruled!

[zuma]

maybe i m too stoned but somehow the bowl footy looks a little sped up at times- the way he locks into grinds sometimes seems too quick even for gt... loved it though.

[Thomas]

My head is still spinning with all these zoom in bowl footages...
I honestly don't understand all the hype around strobeck's filming...

[Fongstarr.]

He over did it. It was cool in Cherry for sure. Different viewing and editing techniques. Now that it's his signature thing, he needs to kill it. Sort of like Ty and his dolly thing.

Count me in for $50 too buddy. Shit looks hard as fuck if you ask me.

[RoaryMcTwang]

Damn, Koston again had a serious trick in a random edit? (after the CPH clip). What's going on? This plus the Yeah Right tape... Feels like a time warp has catapulted me back 15 years, and I like it.

[bo bice]

i'll take bill's manic zoom over that @drpurpleteeth style fisheye-gopro-on-a-stick two inches from dude's foot.  but yeah i wish he'd zoom out a little earlier sometimes, like on Sage's tailslide into the street sign.  kevin's 360 over the trashcan was ridiculous.

nauseating for sure.

So to make clear what the challenge is, If I fling the board over a picnic table, put two feet on the ground before the bench, two feet down on the bench, and land back on the board I get $150?

For the record, Grant makes that awful garbage look the best out of anybody, but its still an awful trick, and a ton of not-Grant-Taylor kids will try to copy it, and it will be annoying and obnoxious. mark my words

Also, whats with y'all pretending I'm the only one hating on things here? Are we challenging anybody who hates on Fat Bill to make a video as good as photosynthesis? You can try to pretend I'm the only one being critical, or that I'm the most critical, but if you do, you're fucking delusional.

You want me to do an ugly stupid miracle flip? Fine, maybe while I'm at it I should work on my Todd Falcon moves and Nate Sherwood pressure flips.
Y'all complain about bandwagon shit, but have to wait until somebody like me takes the first swipe and it gets approved by the masses. If its GT and Supreme, then you fuckin' love the emperors new clothes.

[IHOP]

Doesn't really mean anything, but I happened to be at gardner when grant did the fling and pray and it took 10+ tries.

[austinfuckingthomas]

I normally enjoy Strobecks edits but this one just didn't do it for me.

For everyone complaining about his style of filming in his Bobshirt interview he briefly says that he doesn't use fisheye anymore so I guess this is what we will have to get used to.

Correct. If you can do it in one fluid motion and it flips like the Grant version. I got $50 on it.

[Ronald Wilson Reagan]

I'd be willing to be Grant can't make it flip exactly like that again, which is exactly what makes it a stupid fling and pray thing.
Also, you are moving the goal posts by saying it has to be done as fluidly as he does. Nobody anywhere can do anything on a skateboard as fluidly as Grant does. Those annoying little shits at spots DEFINITELY won't do it as fluidly as Grant does,and that's the pretty much the entirety of my point.
