I remember reading an interview with Penny where he said that Guy was his all time favorite skater.
And Quim.
...and Dave Robinson which is about as random as it gets. I think it was in the thrasher 20th anniversary interview.
Dave is a skater from London who rode flow for a few brands here and there but never really bothered to chase sponsorship.
Incredible natural talent who would shy away from a camera a lot.
Mad that he got name checked.

Rewatched Really Sorry last night for the first time in probably 10 years. I know this is a "classic video" but after the rewatch i'm kinda sitting here scratching my head as to why it is regarded as classic. Really Sorry seems like they edited all the footage together in a real lazy way. I didnt even realize that Ewan Bowman had taken over for French Fred for the second video so maybe thats the reason why it wasnt quite the same as Sorry
Really Sorry is just kind of a victory lap from Sorry! It came out on DVD paired with Sorry with little hype. Mark Appleyard was on a tear and needed an outlet for it to be shown. I enjoy it it in an entirely different way. Sorry is a meal, this is a snack
ahhhh okay okay that makes more sense. tbh i was just getting into skating when Really Sorry came out so I didnt fully comprehend what I was seeing.
It's a weird one for sure. No intro, nothing between the parts, video didn't really have cohesiveness to it. The weird Mark Appleyard freeze frame after his first song.
It really was just meant to be the DVD version of Sorry they were releasing...
Flip used to have this thing where they always kind of went the extra mile. Thats why Xtremely Sorry came with griptape and some plastic toy bits. That's why for anyone who has ever attended their demos, they seem to do more to make sure that kids got what that came for and some...
They'd been on a tear and had a ton of extra footage so with the above in mind, thought that re-releasing something which had already been released with 2-3 extras (as was the done thing then and for a long time after) wasn't cool. They didn't have footage of everyone on the team (Chalmers was still on. Rune, too...and I think Eric Fletcher and another am) so couldn't really make a new video...but they did have enough to make parts for some of the crew.
Apparently, it wasn't meant to be premiered and it was just DVD extra parts but lots of countries heard that there were parts and pushed for premieres, so the whole thing got blown up as a bit more than what it was meant to be.
That was told to me by Ian Deacon about 15 years ago.
