Haha yeah, I can imagine that video being awful if I was in a bad mood

2022-07-17 19:45:30 +0000 UTCI'm not even sure if Max Schaaf was the first vert guy because I also don't care about things before my time

2022-07-10 15:50:01 +0000 UTCIf I said first I meant like only very guy on rn, I’m no skateboard historian so I try to avoid saying anything like that

2022-07-10 01:36:17 +0000 UTCJimmy Wilkins as the first vert guy on Real is Max Schaaf erasure
Bob
2022-07-10 01:35:13 +0000 UTCQuestion…did supreme/strobeck ruin/help skateboarding? Since cherry skating has gotten reeeeaaal crazy I think both good and bad
Ty
2022-07-08 23:50:11 +0000 UTCAbsolutely. This thread makes me think of how great Adam Bos's vids are. https://vimeo.com/264539813.
matt
2022-07-06 16:05:46 +0000 UTCYeah. That's also another facet: like is professional skateboarding even relevant at all any more? If everybody is good nowadays, and the display of skill is kind of boring, shouldn't we learn to appreciate and embrace different approaches? I think we are already there, we just haven't really admitted it yet.

2022-07-06 15:56:58 +0000 UTCI totally agree, idk where my comment went but sry if it came out poorly! I kind of see the same thing happening to some musicians and smaller DIY record labels. when the pressures off, good things happen. like smoking room in Oakland releasing tons of tapes and supporting all sorts of great small acts.
matt
2022-07-06 15:54:38 +0000 UTCIn some ways, it's better now for the rest of us, because we can make videos without the pressure of needing to sell anything. The videos can be more personal, perhaps more interesting, and thus might even mean more to our smaller audience. Homie skate videos are still great. My point was that professional skate videos have kind of gotten played out, and the reasons for this should be obvious.
Theodore Barrow
2022-07-06 15:33:33 +0000 UTCWe agree. Us amateurs (those of us who skate because we love it, not because it's our job) will probably keep making skate videos as passion projects, and those videos will hopefully continue to be special to those of us that care. My point was that most PROFESSIONAL skate video parts are un-inspiring and, given the state of things these days (contest/advertising money, the meaninglessness of board sponsors, etc) pointless.
Theodore Barrow
2022-07-06 15:31:11 +0000 UTCThis is the 2nd or 3rd one of theirs and they are all super boring

Austin Manuel
2022-07-05 02:30:20 +0000 UTCStar team vid was whatever, couldn’t finish it.
Austin Manuel
2022-07-05 02:29:48 +0000 UTCrlly wish there were cooler companies coming out of Europe for people like Tom to skate for other than supreme- but then again there are things like Bag lady (who u mentioned earlier in the year) and yard sale which are both cool so I guess I can’t blame Tom for not turning down that supreme paycheck
Alexander Cantu
2022-07-04 23:50:16 +0000 UTCI really thought you’d talk about Big Parody, that video seems like everything you like all in one.
chaosisme
2022-07-04 22:46:50 +0000 UTCI’m surprised you didn’t mention Tom O’Reiley’s skating in “sensibles” I thought his tricks, style, and fashion were all v tasteful. Not to mention his attitude, demeanor (his face)- much more agreeable than all the other people in that video
Alexander Cantu
2022-07-04 22:42:09 +0000 UTCginormous factoids.
Theodore Barrow
2022-07-04 21:31:50 +0000 UTCYeah I agree, only reason I would want a leticia part is for CONTENT!

2022-07-04 21:30:47 +0000 UTCYou missed sk8land skateshops 'Veinte'. From Adrian del Campo's part onwards the video is great.
aallen
2022-07-04 21:26:31 +0000 UTCJust watched that ‘Hello’ to see what you were on about. Some crusty spots throughout which was sick but the music was shite. Woolley is a gnarbag and the best skater out the lot of them. The last trick was a 5050 down a square handrail but he jumped on the flat at the top then rode down the kink going that slow he was nearly going backwards. If you ollie onto the flat at the top of a handrail then ride down, you’re a fucking cheat

2022-07-04 21:12:26 +0000 UTCJust being spicy here, but in the Monarch section (19:00) when you talk about how there's probably never going to be an actual "pro" street part from either of their pros, Laeticia (sp?) and Sky Brown (a contest skater). I think that's just where we're at. We shouldn't expect a company to give any shit about putting out video parts either in a traditional team video or a polished narrative style (Dylan Gravis/Torey Bigger Bang, etc) because they simply don't make sense anymore. The solo pro video part kind of made obsolete the brand video (they're still being made, but they're increasingly forgettable now) and these new pros make their money from advertising and competing and influencing (or whatever). They don't need to film parts, and probably kids who will support them don't demand parts from them. I say good riddance. As you said before, video parts are less noteworthy by the day now.

2022-07-04 21:08:48 +0000 UTCVincent is a national treasure and he def deserves more spotlight
Patrick Salone
2022-07-04 20:46:45 +0000 UTCThat’s an excellent counter argument. Unfortunately, your mother.
Matt Picard
2022-07-04 19:49:40 +0000 UTCOh so being pro for creature is supposed to count?

2022-07-04 19:47:29 +0000 UTCwould be sick to have evan on
oatmeal steve
2022-07-04 19:06:07 +0000 UTCAlex didn’t go pro for them tho

Cole Park
2022-07-04 18:14:19 +0000 UTCHe discusses this in this roudup. Essentially yes, but depends on when/if the guest can meet up.
JP
2022-07-04 17:43:17 +0000 UTCMax Schaaf would like to have a word...
jacob long

Zac Signorino
2022-07-04 16:04:39 +0000 UTCTom Asta is actually one of my favorite skaters of all time, so…😂 but you are right about SC tho
Felix K.
2022-07-04 15:19:24 +0000 UTCJimmy was already pro for creature so it wasn’t really a pro debut vid it was more just a welcome to the team thing.
Matt Picard
2022-07-04 14:35:26 +0000 UTCJimmy Wilkins the first vert pro for Real? Get ready for a wave of old head scorn
Will LaCosta
