about Teefon's Deep Fried Times Baker part, Fresh Magazine.com, six minutes, seven seconds. It was filmed in Edith by Kody Thompson. Big up to the Kody Thompson, because it was a nice level before we get into it. It was a nice, nicely put together thing.
The music was, well, in New York, Doles, a song called Human Being, mate. It's not about you, not about you. Yeah, it worked. The Teefon gift was perfect.
I absolutely love this part. I thought it was so good. I remember Jono talking about it earlier when it came out and saying that he really enjoyed it and he enjoyed the fact that it was a pro part without flipping a board. He kind of, obviously, he does hit some switch in there, as well, he knows some switch flips and stuff.
I'm not gonna say.com football, because he can't even flip a board nicely. But he's a powerhouse. He doesn't give a fuck. He puts him, so he skates everything, like everyone should skate.
You know what I mean? If you're not doing tech, you know, if you're not doing SSBS, flipping flip out shit, skate like that. That's like the two options for me. It's like, that makes you want to skate.
CNT, if I'm gonna rip the way he did, in all those, in every single spot, every single kind of trick selection, his frontside lip slides on kinked rails. I don't think anyone attacks him like him, because that front lip, when you hit that second kink mate, I've only done a front lip down, a kinked flat bar before. You mean, from big to small to big. I can 50 that way, but not a front lip, I'd fucking, I wouldn't be able to deal with it.
And I can feel that whip, you know, it's not nice. It's a really hard thing to control. And we're talking something that's a fourth round. He's hitting his front lips, and there's a couple of clips that he did it on.
There's a definitely two that I remember doing it. To a kinked. And hitting that kink and being able to ride it at that speed, the weight that he's in the force that he's kind of going down that rail, you're asking to just literally eat that rail. Go down a bit over on your toes and just hop to however you land, probably chest on the floor.
Yeah, definitely. The way, I think in just general, the way T-Funk attacks anything he's skating, just really, you know, throws his shoulders in there and really fucking, yeah, just doesn't, when else attacks, tricks like he does, really goes in and kind of man handles what he's doing, and which really shows through, especially with a frontside lip or a smear for something like that, when you can really overpower something like that and make it work to advantage. Yeah, it's, I'll talk about his aesthetic as well mate. I think he, I love his dress sense because it's so authentic.
I mean, like I love the way he looks. He doesn't give a fuck about his hair. You know, obviously he keeps himself tiny enough, but he doesn't give a fuck. He's not about, it's not the image first.
The image is just him. He's cool. Do you know what I mean? He just looks right.
He looks good in a pair of vans. I'm happy that he's wearing vans doing the tricks he's doing. Yeah. So I mean, although it's a bit sad, because obviously he was on DC for quite some time and he was one of their skaters that was off that ilk, you know, a converse wearing sort of skater.
But he does suit vans more, you know, he did use DC as a bit of springboard, but that's the industry within it. That's it. Yeah. Couldn't agree more.
Definitely a true, a true raw Baker skateboarder. Hands down. Yeah. I'm just going to go for a few more notes here, make some other power lines.
And then I've loads of lines, but the lines he did have, he just put some power in them. You know, I mean, make sure he put that extra push because he knew the cameraman was there. So he's going to give it some. You know what I mean?
The film was right because he's going to make sure this don't look slow. He's going to make sure, because everyone does it. If you want something, I'm going extra fast. I don't even have a fuck.
Like you've got to do it. Like a bitch. You've seen, you've seen lines yourself, where I've seen lines myself where you just, you relax, but you look like a bitch because you're not pushing properly. You're just like, I should have went that extra two pushes or whatever.
Yeah. It's like that push was just, or that push was not needed. That's the worst one. It's like, why did I push that?
I could have just did a heavier push earlier, but he, every time he's got no pussy pushes, every single pushes of power push. Yeah, he's got that extra push. Yeah. I've got Jersey barriers.
Obviously he's a Jersey barrier king. You know, you know, he's out of ride them. I put raw and control. He's just one of the, again, super raw talent skateboarder, and somebody else tricks that we talk about.
There's a lot of control in this tricks. You know, the control knows once the way he does, you know, and things like that. That's no, again, that's no media control. But everyone knows one, can they?
You know, whereas he can do a piece of piss. Here's a specific trick. The gap to curb, mate. It's almost a front.
It's basically goes around a little bit into a corner, you know, around corner, not in a pocket, on the outside of the pocket. Yeah. Things like that. That is obviously quite a famous spot on the top of a hill.
I think it's in San Francisco, but it's a famous, you'd know it. There's been loads of loads of videos. So it's there. I think it was the same spot possibly, but it was in Silver, his shit, that started his element park.
I'm sure he hit some, or something, it was a standard street gap. But anyway, it's a spot. And no one else has seen it. So everyone's skating the spot and no one's seen it, like a T-punk.
And that's almost like everyone can relate to that, because they might be, you know, a gap at your local school, or, you know, just at the skate park. And no one hits something in a way that you thought of at that point and hit it. It's always, it's just a nice, everyone appreciates it. Cause I know he's just unlocked a different level for us to play with.
Yep. Because no one ever thought of it. So I really, like, that was the first trick that I wrote down that I really kind of thought. Yeah, nice.
That was definitely a special one. That was really cool to watch. One of my favourites was obviously his ender, but I went, I went for that in there just yet. But it was, I can't quite, it was, I'm pretty sure it was a long round rail, probably around Nehi, maybe a bit more.
I think Pritchero's done a long back 50. It could have been a back five O, but then at the end of the rail, it's like a drop down. And then he hits a little cheeky back five O on like a, on a little curb, a little bit higher than a curb, like a ledge. And it beforehand, it was a really long back five O.
So I really like that. Yeah, again, that is kind of like the roar of control of it. It's just the edge. He's riding on the edge, but you know, he is mostly in control.
Yeah, exactly. A favourite of mine. I suppose it's because one of those tricks I could kind of, I could do was obviously not on this scale, but he hit a backside board slide like off a ramp. Next to a park, it's a little park.
But he has to backboard, but he has to, there's no end to it. So he has to pivot out the first one. He pecked Bail's kind of into that concrete end of part of the rail. Yeah.
Yeah. So there was a bar of Matthew Wilder's school, sort of like a Geiger, when I was younger. And that's the only way he could skate it. Right.
So I had to figure it out, you know, so I had that was one of those that I had in the bag earlier before, most people didn't get the opportunity to skate it really. Yeah, yeah, no reason to pop out. Exactly. So it's such a nice feeling.
And obviously the way you see him dip it, you know, like I'm dipping to kind of counteract and just spring myself out of there. But the way he dips and flops it down, mate, it was a thing of beauty. Like it was almost, you know, I mean, it's almost like, obviously he rocks to get them and then flicks that almost vertically down his nose, you know, it's beautiful. Yeah, very nicely done.
Did a, there was like a, you know, like the street, the street barrier rails. There was down a set and it was like a down and a cross. I'm pretty sure he frontlets that. It was really nice.
Yeah, that was the front. Yeah, that was the front of that. Yeah. Because it's almost like he hit some chunky.
Yeah, exactly. It was quite a few put together. I like, yeah, very nice. Yeah, I've got the switch hippie and then it hits a hill bomb.
And he does it twice because the first one doesn't get the long roll the way up. Or it's definitely once. Yeah, it's quite tough completely. I mean, again, going down that sort of hill, I can only imagine I've never had a never, will go down a hill that's been switched because it's a death wish.
You know what I mean? You need to be aware of it for that. Two minutes regular. That's going to be fucking ridiculous.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah. At the end of that, at the end of the ride out, like the huge, huge speed bubbles. And he just manages to just like surf it away, like it's on a snowboard and just kind of controls it, keeps it waving, brings in, ah, fucking.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's almost like the, um, looks like side of it. I'm glory challenge when they're going down that rail in the rain. People like surfing that shit out at the end.
It's kind of like he was doing there. It's just like, but that's just, that's now it's getting through there, you know, a little bit like as well. But it's feeling, just feeling that shit and figuring it out on the, on the flight. Yeah, truly just, just right now.
Another little hillbom, one that I want to get to make is, it's a crook hillbom. Yes. And it's the meatiest crook I've seen in a long time. Yes.
So meaty. And I really like that sort of those, I really appreciate those spots. You've won a crook that spot, mate. Yeah.
That is the trick that's part, pretty much. But yeah, the meat, the yellow man, it was just, it was so, just ate it the whole way through the whole, you know, pretty much the whole length of it dug, dug in super deep, fling down, super nice. It was, it was heavy. Yeah.
It was, it was proper. Yeah. And yeah, just some of those type of spots, you know, where it's like almost like a lot of the spots they have in the GX-1000 video. And I think one of the, I don't know that guy's name, the old boy, he normally has a fairly thick beard and a bit of a shade head.
He had a, he had a trick in there. There was a couple of friend tricks. Yeah. Couple of other ones.
But yeah, some of those spots, you can really get fucking heavy on, you know, if you're going to ride him out or whatever he was taking the, the fast route. So, yeah, sick part. Yeah. There was also, you had a switch flip into a bank and then road kind of like an eight, eight there, maybe something like that afterwards.
That's like, again, if you've ever kicked flipped into a bank, right, get that down, put that in your head, right? It's hard for commitment because obviously if you don't get the catch right, lean it back too far, lean forward too far, you know, missed the board, you're going down, you know, it's a bad one. You know, you know, Mr. Brentford, you go down heavy.
Let's reverse that, right? Let's put that in switch. So you're, again, you're, the good thing about the switch, you're flicking down a bit more. Yeah.
So you're probably, you're going to put your, your leading shoulder at that point. You're less likely to be in the back pocket. That's what I'm saying. Less likely, but still to be able to put it into a bank that size, because again, if he misses his board, he's eating shit.
Yeah. Absolutely. He needs to put, plant him your feet down and just eat in. Like you're always asking for a score period in that situation, mate.
Like just imagine trying to switch with that and fucking up. You're, you're going to, you're just literally just going to meet the ground. You're, yeah, be a real big bad man. Yeah.
Yeah. And then, and then there's a ride, I think it's an eight, seven or eight, seven, eight, nine. Afterwards is incredible, absolutely incredible. Because again, riding, try and just ask to drop off something switch, mate.
You know, like a couple of, again, it's, you know, when it gets bigger than say, like, I'm no three, three foot, you need to concentrate, you know, when it turns a four foot, then you start to need to, you know, you can still do it. It's easy enough to make sure you're leaning. Right. Everything.
Yeah. It's the shoulders. You know, it's like just, just land here. Motherfucker, just, you don't need to go anywhere.
Don't go anywhere. Don't go in front because that's always a classic as well. You know, obviously whip out even though you should never whip out. I don't think you should anyway, but there you go.
I'm going to throw his, uh, his last trick out there. If you don't mind. Yeah. Go for it.
Yeah, go for it. It was, so it's like a double set. It was probably like five gap, five, something like that, decent gap in the middle, decent sort of length and, uh, hand it all down and even set, but not in the middle. So the huge gap back five, or five, or, tall, tall, uh, tall, uh, tall, uh, and one of those ones, it was like a sharp angled rail.
Like if you catch that, there, that is it against, you get in, sent into hell. You're not going, you're not hitting the floor. You're going through the floor. Yeah.
You're basically your, your limbs will dent around that stuff. Trust me. You know, trust me that those are all right. The most horrible hang ups.
So, yeah, huge. No fact. Like, and big boy status. Did you really like the first, the first clip?
Mate, I liked it. But you landed it, but you surfed out. We did a little power slide, one 80 front side to control it. I really liked it.
Yeah. And only, there's only, you know, being able to pull off something like that is a different of taste, but it's a skill to be able to do that, to be able to transfer weight in that sort of little bit of time, to be able to save yourself, like skateboard the other day is just to be able to do something in my role and roll away. So, you know, it's not that I hate it. Like it's completely in the trick.
Yeah. As long as you get exactly as long as you're rolling with decent speed away from the spot. You're out. You're out there.
You're you're done. You've done it. Yeah. You know, you want to get a five star out of it, mate.
You know, I might not give you a five star out of it, but you definitely landed the trick you've made it. You can say you made it, which is the game. That's it. No, I always, a lot of skaters try and obviously you can only do this if certain types of tricks like you're always landing.
You're always doing that trick regardless of how you roll away. Like you've got, but it's getting it to be the actual trick you're trying or the actual roll away you want. Yeah. It's a different story.
Oh, definitely. Definitely. It matters. Yeah.
The amount of times, you know, you just land something and go like, yeah, it wasn't the one. Yeah. It wasn't the one. Yeah.
Yeah. But it wasn't. Yeah. It wasn't.
Yeah. You look back on it and it probably looked like the best one. Yeah. You feel the best.
It didn't feel the best. Yeah. It's wasn't how you imagined it. I'm all just a little show up to that back when I walk out, mate.
Oh, yeah. The beach. Yeah. That was that was crazy.
Yeah. That was a decent. No messing around with that one. It's quite a, you know, quite a beefy beefy drop.
Again, you could get, you could hurt yourself really badly in that situation. Yeah. Hang off a catch like or something like that. You know, you can catch stuff to try and that sort of thing, really.
Yeah. Especially because you're landing on like a wall, you know, I mean, it looked like a meatball. Yeah. But sorry.
I only just registered that trick he's not about fucking hell. Like I was going to try and I was thinking about explaining that. Like if you've got a big straight ledge gap in the middle where it's a little three sets and something like that and he's only in doing a backside when he obviously is just under a 180 and it's basically two hubbers on each side, the wide boys that you wouldn't grind and nicely placing a little backside in there. Like fuck you can only do that so many times and you know, you've got to put a bit of weight on your nose to kind of control something like that.
And that could be it. You could eat the ledge, you could fall backwards on that. Like, you know, I could imagine he did that. You only really have a handful of attempts.
You're you've got to come back and I bet I bet he did that pretty quick. And yeah, that's I couldn't believe how fast he rolled away from him. It's like, I think that's more of like a feeling that when you kind of know if you're going to get it or not, you're kind of like, you know, you know, if you're feeling the concrete that day, everything's, you know, transition is just everything you hit is perfect and you're not scared of whatever, you know, your center is good. You're you're feeling good.
Yeah. Yeah. Fucking hell that nutstrict. Yeah, really, really, I think I watch that once or twice.
It's a really good part, mate. I really, really enjoyed it. I actually, I kind of stepped on it. I'm going to be completely honest.
Yeah, meeting, meeting. And I'm guided by that idea because when we talk about skaters, the year and everything, you know, obviously that's been a goal and we can get to that at the end of the show. We'll talk about the end of the show. But that is what I want to see in a scary year.
That's why I love, you know, I love this. That style of state, more than it is ridiculous. You know, that's maybe why DeShawn gets more of a vote generally than Nigel in these sort of situations because of all this, maybe the speed and the power, you know, we'll get to it. But T-Funk, if he's not a future, called a famer, you know, I mean future, yeah, as well, it's going to happen.
Surely it has to have to. It's to eat, you know, I know, again, I'm sure we eat shit and probably picks a block of injuries, you know, it's going to happen. But if he put out two six minute parts, me, I mean, obviously this, this one, is this before the cut off? Might just, I don't know.
I don't know. It's got to be around now. I felt like it. Yeah, I can't quite remember.
I'm just wondering if that's kind of for this year is obviously even need just to get a couple of decent videos and results to be because it was, for me, but I'm just going to be, it was a four star video. Nice. Because it's his style of skating. No one's telling them what to do.
You know, I mean, like everyone's got their own style. We're not watching, you know, Evan Smith, you're his thing. We're not watching Mason, still with you, his thing. We're not watching Wade, the Sama do his thing.
You know what I mean? Like, I'm talking about different styles of skating here. T-funks doing T-funks shit. Yeah, 100%.
And I can't say that you did much that, you know, all of that shit was hard for him. You know, all that shit was thoughtful and it's real skateboarding. So I can't, obviously I can't give him a five because he's not hitting front-side flips down on the 15s. You know, again, that's personal preference as well, but he's not doing that.
Yeah. But what he is doing is hitting front-side five over, he's gapped out right. It was probably about 25 miles an hour. Yeah.
Maybe more. I don't, you know, I don't. Undeniable. Yeah.
So that's why I'm going to, I'm giving it a four star. Yeah. And I don't, I don't know why I would give it. If I would give it a four star or a high three, but it's around there.
It's around there. Um, I can't, can't knock it. And other than personal preference, I can't say what I'd want to see more, like T-funks, did T-funks and did it really fucking well. Exactly.
Mate, it's like, no. It was not odd at any point. Yeah. There's a six minute part, right?
Yeah. Six minute part. And you can lose people in that. Yes.
You can lose people in that these days anyway. You know, I mean, definitely, you can, that's basically could have always lost someone if the edit was shit. Yeah. You know, for the music was bad, but he, like you said, if someone said it was 3.8, I'd agree.
You know, I'd say, yeah, cool weather, but I just, it got me really hyped. He got me, yes, wanting to, you know, wanting me to go bomb down a hill. You know what I mean? Want me to be just raw, right?
Yeah. Just go sort of around for a bit and hit some quick tricks. Didn't you love the clip where he had some orange wheels on? So obviously he had to hit spot with some soft wheels because the train needed him to, I like seeing that shit.
Yeah. Couple of, couple of fat world tricks. And he fucking hits it all. He hits the terrains.
He wallies harder than anyone else. Fucking, I just say, and definitely, like I know he's, he was in the freshest selection of the skater of the other ship. He keeps going. He's still young.
And he's definitely going to refine a little bit more. And he's going to be one of those skaters that everyone keeps talking about. Would you say it's, you know, between him and Kate, for being Baker, post-a-boys for the next 15, 20 years or whatever? Yeah, definitely.
Yeah. And he really embodies like Baker, right? You could put him in pretty much any Baker era, and he's fitting in. And he doesn't, nothing would have to change like any era, pretty much.
And he's with the times as well, you know, he's always relevant. He's almost like an Evan Smith style skateboarder or whatever. Like if he doesn't reach, so he would be one of those things, wherever. And be like, he's got to at some point, you know, even if he doesn't make the way he's going, so if he just carries on skate for the next 20 years or whatever, he's going to go, the T-Punk's going to be one of those names.
His legacy is going to be a strong legacy. Yeah. We'll move on to a different part now. We might as well just go straight into America in power, 25 minutes and two seconds.
Oh. I found on Thrasher, you've probably got to find on YouTube as well. Yeah. You've watched it well.
Yeah, I watched on the Thrasher YouTube. So 25 minutes, it's saying it's a decent video. Probably not everyone having a section. You know what I mean?
That's what I'm reading from it before I watched it mate. It's what you know. It's probably going to select a few, highlight a few, and then give us, give us little sprinklings of what we want to see as well. The edit, I'm just going to get to the straight with the edit, mate.
First of all, we did have an FA vibe to it, the film that they were using. It was very, very FA. I'm trying to be kind to it because is it FA? Are we giving all of that harsh, straight back footage?
Are we just saying that's FA, even though it has happened before? Yeah, I was kind of giving it like more of an America-esque because they have like the green kind of tinge over a lot of stuff, but then with a newer vibe. For me, this person of opinion, I just thought that it was a bit too kind of almost psychedelic in its edit rather than raw. No, I get it for sure.
They're wrong. The edit sound, it's really creative, it's nicely put together. But it's almost like, the reason why it keeps saying FA and hockey is because it's basically just it's doing what they've been doing for the last five years, right? Yeah.
So they've been doing that for five, you know, or we've gone on eight years now. They've been doing that shit. It's almost like someone doing the ceiling for Love Park, Fish Eye, Sour Tige, Lance, gimmick. It's almost like that.
Sometimes when you touch upon it, it doesn't quite work because someone else has been doing it for a while. You might be doing it before or you might be doing it in the future. But because someone else has been doing it recently, it's just a bit of a disconnect, a brand, a brand disconnect. That's all it was for me.
I know and I might talk to it, mate. I'll just I'll say it now. My kind of final impressions on the video with that my old guard of America is kind of it's on its way out. Yeah.
And it's just it's just in this place just trying to find its new, its new way, right? And I'm kind of taking up the chin as well. We obviously America, the amount of Reynolds is I own. You know, I mean, I think they're one of my go-tos, you know, Reynolds isn't there anymore.
Still got a couple of my, you know, people like Leo Romero and stuff like that who still love to see clips of him. Yeah. You can't feel a power between, but you still, we still in there. But I just think it's a new, it's a new way, mate.
You know, I mean, it's not my America. Yeah, exactly. The relevancy, you know, times have changed. People have left, not everyone, which, which knows nice, the vibe and era and just how relevant things are has changed everything as it does.
Good for good offer bad. And yeah, some things just kind of stay the same as unfortunate as it is. And you know, you do get bits of the vibe of how it used to be within that video. And then out of it at the same time, you almost get that feeling.
And then, you know, some of it works really well. And some of it's kind of like, ah, you know, where's that? Where's that shit we've seen before? But it's a different video just in your time.
I like you were touching on with it. You know, they still put the green in there trying to stay true, but I'm always that almost conflicts me as well. Because I'm going to like, well, maybe maybe maybe need to drop the green queue, just for a bit, you know, I'm not saying I should. You know, I love the green queue, mate.
I mean, that was that was my deal. But when you look at when you're looking at it, it's like, I don't know, spain a spanky, you know, I don't want to be harsh, pass your boy. I fucking love it skating. But do I really need to see him doing those live in the halo on a ledge?
With certain people of ages and eras in my eyes, you group them together. They have like a team or a covered section that doesn't need to be too big. And if they do good sections like that, they can have put that out in another put their impact out, like make a cool and that sort of thing. You know, we could have had a group of all those people together and then, like certain people with not saying who deserved it more, but some people who we don't know as much can get a little bit more time in there who could make a little more of a break through, maybe.
But I mean, I know the reason why they've got spanking in there, mate. You've got to be broke. Because they ain't got the depth. They don't mean, I'll say they got the depth.
But in this particular video, he had the footage. Yeah, Romero, Pro Boss, you know, all these you know, a couple of clips, but then obviously they've been doing other shit and I'm not taking anything away from spanking skating, mate. It was solid. He's skated so well.
Again, he's got such a kind of fluidity and he's almost delicate. You know, I mean, honestly, he's really kind of just precise. I've always liked to skate. But I'm just kind of trying to marry it up with stuff.
I don't know. It's just a bit disjointed. Yeah, it's fresh. It's almost like a new matrix.
If you haven't seen it, they're trying to merge the old and new together. It just doesn't work almost like the new Jurassic Park as well. And you're trying to put new and old. You can make those things collide.
If you try and make them just flow into each other and it doesn't flow, you can see straight through it. I feel like to have a spanky part that long of a part or whatever. Then like we should have seen that much of Jake, figgy, John Dicks and other people, you know, they could have saved a fair bit of that. Just giving him a good minute or two.
But you know, like I said, if not just good groups are better or they could have saved that and put out a fucking 40 minute long video of everyone. Yeah, but who's going to watch a 40 minute America video at the moment? I just know as many people. You know, I mean, if it's not if it's DVD or Blu-ray, obviously those days are dead, but like the hype isn't there anymore.
Yeah, that's it. Should we go for a few of the parts? Me? Do we start off with Winkowski?
Yeah. Not sure if I've seen loads of these before, if I'm going to complete this. Yeah, you see like clips in there and then doing something on them. Yeah.
Something a bowl or whatever. Never like an absolutely ridiculously length part. Like it was a super solid part, mate. Yeah.
It just wasn't the first part for me. It almost could have lost me. Not taking anything away from him. Great skating.
Obviously, I like to see a little bit more. And that was a little bit of an open and one touch of everything and everyone before, which is nice. But the only note I've got for him is big board, bowls and one big front shove. So, you know, hit a couple of ticks for me and I'm sure people who love that sort of bowl skating and Chinese skating would fucking love it.
Like it was great, but first open section, maybe not maybe not the one again for America, right? Yeah, for a 25 minute long video. You want to keep people in and they've got Chris Weimer on the cards, which is a weird, you know, I really don't understand that why he was the first part. Like I I would clue it would have really started off with a bang.
I just round off with Mckowski. Really, really enjoyed it. I love that size. I respect it.
That's the traditionalist way of skateboarding and you should really appreciate where you come from and work sort of stuff. I've got the Virgin Master Plant across the rail and down, which is ridiculous. That is an MBD that is trickier candidate. That is insane.
But I thought the song and the edit, they just weren't that great. I don't think that considered and again, go into the first part. You're either first or last, you know, and as a first part, this part of its own, released on its own would be an awesome part and I'd probably give it free. Solid three.
Yeah, I don't know. Decent rain. Start the video off. I love the love this game.
I didn't fit the bill. Whereas Weimers, I'm just going to quickly jump into this. I was left wanting more, right? Cause I've watched a lot of his clips.
I've been talking about it for a while, I think I predicted that he was going to be skating a year at some point. He's one of those skaters on my radar. Getting really no personality. The song sucked balls for me.
I thought it was a fucking terrible song. He was so generic punk and Weimers doesn't look like a punk. He almost looks like someone like fucking me. He just wears brown trousers and a black tee shirt skating.
They're not shouting about it. They've got the personality. You have to learn that personality. You have a little bit of their skating again and also with the skating.
It's so perfect. It's hard to get a little bit of personality out of him. It just seems a punk song slept on not a punk skater. You know what I mean?
The other one talking about that tune. Yeah. But why am I hitting bolts, kick the back blunt and those blunt on a rail? Can't have punk because he's practiced too much.
He's not a punk. He's not shredding like tee funk. That those move more refined. It's one of them.
You know what I'm saying? Oh, 100%. Yeah, definitely. And for like, I've got here it was pretty much like a zero shotgun so I let it like I'm sure if they had them as not shotgun it would be a really long part, which would have been a complaint here.
Like the caliber of every single one of those tricks was insane. Really good. And I got here like Chris Wyme is such a good skater, but I think it's going to be really hard for him to break through because his skate one definitely talks himself. But with the way that was filmed, like if this was like half slow mode and like a couple more double angle, it got to be like a contender for a could be the way to skate the airport.
Oh, yeah. It was insane. Kick flip front side, nose one, kick flip back side, nose one, everything you want. Like front side hill flips down over rails like huge tray flips in lines down sets.
Like what more could you ask for? I hope he doesn't. But you think he's going to kind of fall down kind of the Lutsker road. I'm not saying I don't respect Lutsker again.
Front side of the motherfucker respecting. But he never, it's almost like the Senzo was going to fall down there. He didn't. The Senzo has, but it did seem like it for a, you know, I'm talking years ago.
He could have fallen down that competition skateboarder route, which is hard to get out of. You know, it's hard to get the Orr. It's like Kelvin, who flew wherever his name is. No, you know, he's been in the Olympics.
No one gives a fuck about him. No one gives a shit about him. There's a straight skater. No one gives a fuck because he's a competition skater.
Yeah, definitely. I can just feel why he is a competition skater, but he fucking could be, couldn't he? The way he's technically stomping everything. So, I mean, he doesn't, he lacks the kind of personality in the ball anyway.
That's what I'm going to get at. Even though every single trick is ridiculous. A lot of people like that do fall into the category of just where people are like, oh, yeah, that was sick. And then there's nothing else to say about him or to mention because he's just ticking off so many tricks.
Like, he's not really doing anything that stands out as such. Yeah. Everything he's doing is standing out. His kick flip back side knows by me.
And that is probably a larger rail, right? But Chris Cole's ender in time to live, which is maybe it was his pre-ender. It was his pre-ender before the backside. Not a hill flip down like a nine or ten or whatever.
It was the kick flip back side knows one down the rail. You know, in your head it was a big rail that we did on. But when did that video come out down to live? Yeah.
2001 at best. Yeah. And you get on time. Do you get one coming from?
It's not the same. It's cold. I know Cole is a different kind of fish. He is the fucking, you know, multiple skater year for a reason.
But if people are still going to send tricks, I don't know, when we send two thousand two. There you go. 2002. It's almost like a second coming.
It's almost like gimmick infringement or whatever. Yeah. Like he's a skater. I keep my eye on.
You know, he's one of those skaters I really like to watch. But you know how good the Crockett used to ride the fallen? Yeah. And he needed to move, didn't he?
Yeah, it wasn't just wasn't the perfect place in the bottom. You needed to move and you moved and now up there, you know, definitely like top 50 scale of all time. Yeah, he's doing his own thing. Yeah, awesome.
We'll say maybe you will just jump ship to something. And he might just fresh in something up. Yeah, you never know. Yeah.
He just needs one good film really well. I think he needs someone to get his ass and film properly. Yeah, or just to drop a couple of big parts and get everyone's attention a bit more. Well, so we talked about spanking his powers next.
So it was like a team on charge, wasn't it really a special part of it? Everyone. Which I really liked. Yeah.
I'm sure I've seen some of those clips, not all those clips are fresh. Funny feeling I've seen or maybe they used them in a trailer or something. I've just I've seen some of it. So I really enjoyed it.
Love seeing Romero do his anything on a handrail. You know, I fucking absolutely love it. Love seeing John Dixon, favorite of ours, switch within. Of course, love it.
You've got some obviously spider with a bump to fucking bump to bin. Which he loves to do. So he was taking a lot of boxes. I really enjoyed it.
I thought tune was good as well. Yeah, so it was nice when there's a good bit of good familiar faces you want to see. It was nice when you see Jake Hayes. Was it a joke?
Yeah, I just want to mention obviously after the friend section coming to Kevin Backers part. That fucking bale at the start. Oh my God. I probably watched it like 10 times.
I'm just Sam. Excellent. It was just the more you watched it, the more you knew how. I mean, you know what I got?
The first one you're like shit, that's a big drop. If you anyone wigs out me there that high in the air, you're going down. You almost thought it was, you know, you kind of knew he was going to be bleeding. Yeah.
Yeah, not for the bank high. I suppose that. Yeah, I had flipping to a bank. It was like a big bank kind of a bit of a flat and then a big bank again.
Like under a bridge sort of style. Yeah, huge, huge bank flat bank and kind of the air speed bubble wigged out. Just before the down of the second bank pretty much supermanned all the way down. I think he just about caught his toes on like part of the bank before, which might have taken like 0% of the impact before he just face grinded before.
It may have taken like 3% of impact out, but it might have changed trajectory. So he hit his face more. You know, it's one of it was it wasn't needed really. When you watch it, you're like, yeah, he's knocked out.
He's knocked out and then he's not. But yeah, probably wishes he was was a big slam. Big slam. Yeah, I mean, I will say this is definitely a creature part, you know, for a creature.
He is creature for life. So, you know, it was it was back or gimmick. I'm not going to say this didn't fit as part. He was actually I'm not too keen on the track.
I'm going to be completely honest. Yeah, track would be great. Yeah, nonetheless, some pretty cool tricks on there. A load of load of banks, load of.
Load of 50s. Load of front 50s. Switch 50s as well, mate. Couple of switch 50s.
He did a very here into a bank to bank. Yeah. Did you like the power slide over that block? Yes, I did.
Midline. You're almost not sure if he's going to do it over the other block as well. He just dips into the bank. Yeah, I did like his power slides.
His power slides were pretty heavy. I know some people don't like editing on the beat. I think it'll be the most rewarding edit you can do. For a skater to look at, it's the most rewarding.
It's just easier. I get what you don't. Because obviously you don't always just hit something perfect on there. But I personally love it.
I think it's the greatest. It makes it so much easier to watch. You're always waiting for the fucking. It seemed like they tried to beat the ante in it.
They tried to do the little Jamie Thomas deal. Well, there was one part near the end where it almost had a nice crescendo, like high note, over and over again, like every eight beats or something. And they didn't hit anything on it. They didn't want to hit one land or one grind or one any impact.
Any impact point they didn't want to. And it's like that was such a good sound to have something land on it. Yeah, such a next opportunity. Because you want to say Jamie Thomas often you don't want to do the beat edit.
You want to tell them not to do that because I'm punk or whatever their excuse is. They're not going to do it despite it. It would have been such a rewarding sound. That's why we're watching because it's supposed to be entertainment.
It's supposed to flow. It's supposed to get juiced up. Yeah, I just got gendot a kickflip into a bank. It was a huge bank to drop off.
It was all right. Yeah, it's dicey. Yeah, it's dicey. It's been awful awful.
He could have done another slam. Yeah, but I mean, the bank itself, like everyone's kickflip into that. That's not a problem. It's a meadow.
It's just right. Nice. Super meadow, but it's right. And obviously the drop next to you is heavy duty.
Really enjoyed it. Good. A good back or part. It's what you expect from back or.
Yeah, exactly. Nothing less. Nothing more. It was a good part.
I was really enjoying it. You got to turn around and make? Yeah, I do. It is a three.
OK, I'm going to John over to. Fair enough. I did have three stroke or two point eight. But I just got a little bit hyped up there and gave my three.
Nothing more. It had the opportunity to be a really good video. I just think where America is, like I said before, I just don't know where they are. I'm not sure they know where they are.
I think they do need to shuffle the pack, maybe drop a couple of the old guard. It's a hard one. It's a hard one. Transitioning for sure.
