I hope I'm up to the sports radio, got a lovely little video to break down today. Jeff Rowley's Freedom to Skate video part. And doing that with me and Bob, John and Ash. How's it going?
So before we get into the video, mate. Yeah. Freedom, freedom, freedom. I don't know what it's called, free dome.
What? It's trying to be clever, I think, isn't it? I don't know. We should call it freedom.
We should call it freedom. But now on Jeff Rowley's freedom to skate. Because I mean, free dome to skate. What, there's a free dome?
Is it a dome to skate on top of? Or are we living in a dome as ours? Is that what he's inclined? Yeah, he could be.
Yeah. Anyway, we'll leave that to the listeners to the side. But we've decided for you. It's freedom.
Don't ever say free. When you say freedom, like raise your eyebrows when you say it. So someone knows the names of it, if they end it, Jeff. Yeah.
We won't tag him in this. No. He's an old boy. He's an old boy.
Right. Yeah. So I've got up on Thrasher, mate. I've got a new tube or Thrasher.
I've brought it up on YouTube. So eight minutes and six seconds long. We're just going to click through it up. I'm not sure we're going to go for a classic skate companion, aren't we mate?
I don't think we really need to talk about that. We're going to watch it. So it's not our first take. And we'll just go through some of his aqueduct antics.
Yeah. That is one of my notes was Rowdy and Storm Drains just feels right. If he's not in the Storm Drains, what's he doing? But it takes it to the extreme in this.
Yeah, he certainly does. It's easier to count the amount of tricks not done in an aqueduct thing. It is a little game to play as well. I'm pressed played yet just to go through it.
But how many nose blunts lights do you reckon he does in this part? How many do you reckon? How many do you reckon it? I'm going to say...
I'm going to go with ten. I'm always going to go with ten as well. No, they go in. Let's go with ten.
Let's just go with ten. Ten works out. I'm just going to press play just so it's rolling in the background. It's a nicely put together little video, mate.
For someone who's not pumping out footage left, right and centre, it's still a nicely composed little video. And it does have a theme. Like you're going along with the Storm Drains. It does have a theme.
Yeah, and it fits Jeff Rowley quite a lot, doesn't it? This is a Jeff video. Yeah. Seeing the cows skeleton or whatever, and then straight away, doing a little kick clip.
That kick clip at the start is beautiful there. And the Tempo D'Etunes call as well. I mean, it's blunts like number one. Nose blood, number one.
Yeah, the Tempo D'Etunes is really good as well. Number two. Yeah, it's one of those F like... Oh, it's one of those...
It's one of those... It's not quite... It's not quite edited to the video. Does that make sense?
Yeah, it's not. Does that make sense? Yeah, tricks. They're not landing on a beat or anything, but it all still fits.
All Jals together quite nicely. Yeah, I did like that little kind of speed check, little power slide to fakier than back around mate. Just to slow him down, that was nice. Yeah, it's just...
It's got good Tempo, but he's not declaring that he's a big dog anymore. I mean, it's just... He's placing himself with the tune, which is cool. Yeah.
Nice little hill flip as well. Yeah. I mean, how old is Jeff these days? He's getting up there, right?
45. Yeah, something like that. He's looking quite good for his age. He's looking great.
I think he's a bless up the wisdom with Tom. I suppose that isn't a nose one, is it really? But it's nice to see a Tom clip. Yeah, it's great to see Tom in there.
Especially some of the nose slides that he's hitting really. There's one. That's definitely a nose one. That's not Jeff.
No, that doesn't count on the... We're still at four. Jeff does make the Vam Clemseau things look cool, doesn't he? He does make it.
You make the cutaway of him scribbling a little checkerboard on it, doing it old school. You know, actually making a checkerboard on your own white van. It's cool. That is a bit more punk.
There's a constant attack on a ledge or something in this video. You're not waiting for something. He's always just hitting the next thing. It's rewarding seeing someone heal bomb because everyone can relate to someone heal bombing.
It's kind of finishing the trick. It's almost like a line in itself. Just watching someone shred down a lacquodock. Just blast.
Because everyone's like, fount that. Like, go fast moment. So you can kind of relate to that and seeing him wobble hours. Ah, yes.
Fucking wicked. I saw this video with some silly motherfucker on Instagram. The other day, the heal bombing, losing it. Wiggling out.
He was getting too cocky. He was too high in the forge. He was too vertical. He was like, you're going down mate.
You've soon got thrown off the, yeah. Frown off the ball. Had a little cry. Yeah.
I love those videos. The proper eject. Off. It's very satisfying to watch.
Yeah. It's a nice little fine mural thing in the video. Yeah. And just a good way of breaking it up.
Getting some motorhead in there. It's a bit on the nose with the T-shirts and fucking spider in there with the motorhead T-shirts. But it gets a motorhead on there. It's a good tune mate.
It's a good tune. It's a good, it's a good motorhead tune. I don't think I heard this motor tune before. No.
Do you reckon when Lemmy was still alive that he just gave Jeff Rowley like, free of it? Jeff Rowley like, free access to the right for the skate medias. Yeah, they would have been, they would have been pretty tight I think. They had a few Roman coaks together.
Oh, plenty of Roman coaks mate. Oh, whiskey and Coke. It was JD and Coke. Yeah, sorry.
Yeah, his jackdaddy was in there. Yeah. Full fat Coke. Even though Lemmy was diabetic.
Appianetic background there as well mate. Nice to see you. Oh, is that up there? Yeah, yeah.
That's Apple Yard. It's nice that you can just watch an eight minute part mate that is essentially just a shit at a hill bombs and it's still really enjoyable. It doesn't feel like an eight minute. It flows quite nicely.
Yeah, it certainly does. Yeah, it's really nice. It's really nice because you're rewarded every time. Every time he hits 20 miles an hour going down one of these things, it's nice to see.
And kickflip into the greated bank is sketchy as fuck. Yeah, right. That wants to eat you alive. Even the Ollie into this corrugated weird fucking brain thing could do you some damage.
And this storm drain mate is so big, so steep that it doesn't do justice. If you would need to be at that spot and go fuck that, I'm not going down there. Kickflip knows like down there as well. And that curve at the end is going to fuck you off.
And you know that back angle where the road is like flat with the top. That just kind of shows out. Yeah, you can tell that he's put the time in. Is that what they're making?
Yeah, that was number six. Do we count that at seven? But you can tell he's getting thrown off his ball quite a lot mate. So he's put the time in putting the hours in to put a decent video pile, which is really nice to see.
I'm super happy for him to put a decent part out. Who was that guy at the end there? Is that French thread? I don't recognise him.
I think it does say in the graphics for the credits. It's Jeff. He knows what his brand is isn't he? He knows his own gimmick.
He's got some additional film in there, Greg Hunt being in there, Jack Mansfield with the film. He does credit the other way doing the graffiti on the water tower. Yeah. Falu Coronale.
I'm probably butchering that. We'll go with that mate. We'll go with that one. Yeah, guess Gator's Tom Penny, Corey Glick, Colin Provers, Mark Upward Yard and Karl Walker.
Well, that won't Karl Walker down at the bottom of it. No, unless Karl Walker's letting himself go a bit. That won't Karl Walker at the bottom. And the motorhead tune was Out the Sun and Dead and Gone.
It was the first one. The motorhead as well. I think it was just like an instrumental of motorhead tune. Yeah, Dead and Gone was a good track mate.
That's a good lifting motorhead song. A little bit of positive energy in there. Yeah. A little slow bit.
A little bit of singing in there. It was good. It was really nicely put together a video. Who was the editor for it again?
I didn't recognise it. No, I don't think I recognise the name. It's just a go past that clip of the old boy that you slagged off a minute ago there. Said it let himself go.
Jack Mansfield. Filmed and edited by Jack Mansfield. So, yeah, big up Jack. Yeah.
Good job mate. Really good job. Because editing to where you don't have an obvious beat to edit to. It's going to be weirdly hard for it to actually like all gel together.
Because it's like where you put those cuts and why you put those cuts where you put those cuts. Yeah, I'm definitely a man who likes a ding. I want to hit something. It's just like it's not every time.
It doesn't have to be the same part of the trick on every time. I'm not too anal about it. It has to be on the land. I don't mind hitting a point on a grind.
Sure. I'm not too anal about that. But yeah, when you've got to encapsulate a vibe of Riley skating these storm drains. Yeah, there isn't one kind of beat that you're always hitting to.
Yeah. It's fair play. And I do really like the end as well where he's holding up that bit of perspective. And he's broke the end.
And he's got an awesome landscape behind him. I mean, that's better right than putting a graphic up. That is better than putting the graphic up. But yeah, there's some good tricks in there.
I mean, I'm a big fan of the kick the back nose down. That's super big one. That's probably one of my favorite trick in the whole video. But there was loads of really nice little cheeky cheeky things.
Some solid basics and some cheeky things. Have you got a little favorite in there? I mean, the kick for the start is solid. I do quite like the little, I think it's on the same spot as you like the shove to no slide.
Because it's not like a proper pop shove. Like a little root to do shove. Which if anything is going to be a little bit harder. Yeah, because you're kind of finishing a trick eye.
No. Like a little place where you wouldn't normally go back in, you know, put the pressure back down. And you're going down. Yeah, going to fetch that board after you fucked up is.
That would fuck you off, wouldn't it? I think knowing that you'd have to go find your board after messing the trick up. It would just make you land it, make you stick it. Yeah, I think you're probably right.
Because we know the idea of even going down those things, mate, is fucking sketchy. Rolling down all those things is sketchy as fuck. I was just going to say, would you roll down it? If the curb weren't there at the end.
I think I would, because you'd have to if you were there. But you would, there'd be a voice in the back of your head that we said. What's the fucking point? What is the point of you rolling down this?
There is no point of you rolling down this. Yeah. Just get thrown off and have a broken collarbone. Yeah, you'd get straight to the collarbone, wouldn't you?
Power bomb the floor. It's good for Jeff to just put out a video like that. Because it's all him. Like, vans, let him do.
He's like transcended. Whatever, hasn't he? Like, he can do whatever he wants. See, he has vans for him through.
Always has been, right? Yeah. I can't, for the life of me, remember what his company is called these days. What company?
Oh, it's just company, Friedone. Yeah. Friedone. Oh, there you go.
Yeah. Yes. Idiot. But, yeah.
I mean, it must be doing well to keep going. I think it's just him, right? Is there anyone else on there? Well, we could do some live research, mate.
You know, with that's what we're here for for the list. We could do some live research. If you go to Friedone, I'm just clicked on the link. Yeah, there's loads of motorhead stuff on there.
Some real nice stuff, like a motorhead rally board. I bet you they're probably screen printed boards, you know? They look like they're screen printed boards. Yeah.
Nighty dollars? It's not too bad. I mean, it's probably him that does everything. Even all the shipping and that sort of stuff is him.
Oh, yeah. It just makes it kind of business sense as well. And I suppose Jordan, like, COVID and everything, where you couldn't have your guys in and you may do. So, well, fuck it.
Sorry, mate, but you're letting you go. I can do it all myself, apparently. You know, you know, you'd need the job you were doing. Kind of don't need you to do that job anymore, because I can do it from my house.
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you can't argue with that. No, you can't, especially because you know it's not, you know, because he doesn't have a shitload of pros on the squad, mate.
You know that it's a small deal. Yeah. That's just how it is. You know, it's a big deal because I've got fucking shitload as guys on there.
Yeah. But I mean, what's your last impression of the part, mate? It's a solid part. I might chuck it on again.
It was quite nice watching it again. So I think it will continue to get to get played. It'll be in the rotation, I think. I mean, as far as like parts out at the moment, there's definitely worse parts.
This does feel considered as well. It has a theme, has a drive-in force through it. It just, it's connected at every point. And then when he tried, when he does change a song, he even kind of does the mural to break it up.
He has a piece in the middle to literally break the video up into two parts. But I mean, they even blend together. Like you kind of would, if you weren't paying proper attention, you would just think that's one long song. One long song, which is nice.
It all, there's a vibe, there's an aesthetic behind that, which is all him. Sorry, I can't see. We didn't see a frontside flip in there. We didn't see a frontside flip.
Come on now, Jeff. That's the, we are missing a frontside flip. You know, from one of the, one of the greats of the frontside flip, over over the LA River, or whatever, it was with the two ramps. That's one of the greatest fronts of all time.
Oh, yeah. And I would put that, if we were to do an all-stars of frontside flips, that frontside flip would be, we might have to do that. That could be a little bit more. We could do it now, mate.
It's too deep. Yeah, we need to do the research. Yeah, we need to do the research. Yeah, we need to do the research.
Yeah, that's coming soon to tell us what's ready to go. On my list, I'd definitely be throwing in. Have you got to throw top of the head mate that you would probably throw out? I don't have one on the top of my head.
No. Frontside flip. I would go with Reynolds's end in the end. So he's run to the blue rail.
There's a blank on the third house, the end video. Probably that one would probably be in there as well. But I mean, how many first flips have Reynolds got? Countless.
Penny. Yeah, Penny's got a good one. Mike Mo has, well, I say no. Mike Mo has been gone now really, but Mike Mo would have some good frontside flips in there.
People like, fuck, Karl Walker would have a decent frontside flip. I'm sure he's got one that can make it to the list. Well, Karl's got a good frontside flip. He normally throws out a switch run so far a bit more, doesn't he?
Yeah. And that's a different kind of fish. I would say that is a different kind of fish. You've got Musco with his frontside flip as well, the illusion, the Musco flip.
Yeah. I'm trying to think of a Penny frontside flip that's really like, that stands out to me. But he's got a lot of switch run so far as well. Yeah.
It's those kind of lofty ones. Yeah, we need to. Yeah, we need to. Yeah, this is a kind of off the top of that.
No, this is a debate for another time. We'll have to bring it. Yeah, we'll have to really think about it. Because maybe off the back of another All-Stars, but we'll just be a side piece, you know?
Yeah. That's, yeah. I mean, right? Let us know.
Is there any that you would definitely go for? We can just kind of put in the, you know, honorable mentions because you don't get one of my picks. You're giving any more picks out mate? No, no, that's a coveted slot.
That is, yeah. How long has Jeff Rowley been like, putting out parts all late? When was the first, when was sorry? I know he was around sort of before that, weren't he?
That would have been around like 2000. Wow. It was around there and obviously you got Death Box and all that sort of stuff. He was part of Death Box, wasn't he?
I think he was. It must have been before. Before my time, you know what I mean? When that was operational.
Yeah. But yeah, a long time he's been putting, and he looks fit, he looks fit as a filmmaker. He looks great, so he's probably got a, I mean, he's going to be skating until he can't skate anymore. He's going to be skating until he's like in 65.
Yeah. Just like getting the neat pads on. I saw this really good video the other day on Instagram where this old boy, he's playing two characters. He's playing the old boy that's just rocking up the skate park, just a normal old boy.
And he said, oh, he's just turned 50 or something. And the other boy's just putting his neat pads on. Oh, it's time then. It's time.
Press play on the radio with some fucking punk bullshit. He looks down and his socks come up, he's wearing neat pads. Starts doing fucking the fucking power slide thing on the ramps, you know, the black banks. He's just kind of doing that little hand-down slide, whatever you want to call that mate.
I don't have the words for these moves, but it was just funny. It was funny because we've seen it. Oh, we've seen it. You know, like OWP, the guys down there, they're playing, I'm not knocking anyone, but it might happen to all of us eventually.
But it's just funny how the neat pads go on, then you just start changing your whole fucking skating. You start being a bowl skater. Yeah, never pop your board again. I just saw that.
Gill, yeah, right. Turn 20. The fuck. It's the same as the DC video mate.
And so that's 20 years as well. That's crazy. You're forgetting, right? And it's like, this is why I'm so kind of, you know, my generation, you know, back in the new man.
Back in my days, I think, but it's like the DC video, and yeah, right. And there's going to be more if you fucking think about it came out in the same year. It's crazy. So that isn't happening now.
I mean, we're not even getting video parts. You know, videos now, we're just getting past, which is a bit of a shame. But it is what it is. We're not going back there.
But even like the level of skating in those videos is fucking ridiculous. Like Eric Costen in yeah, right, there's the tri-flip nose blunt on a handrail. Who's doing that kickflip back lip on an outrail? So you hit on that rail.
It's a gap to handrail. Yeah. Yeah. So that's a power ball.
That's everything that you get fucked up on there. There's no messing about with that. That's a legit. You do it all.
Die. Don't die. That's that. Yeah.
You're driving home in your car, you're driving home in ambulance or whatever. You know, there's no, there's no in between there. But yeah, what's such a great video about it. Yeah, right.
It's so polished, unique, silly bits in there. Awesome skating, ridiculous skating in it. It's Owen Wilson's in it. Yeah.
And we've just, we've just got a little message from Will, live live. We might as well have one more. We can have one. You can say hello and then we'll finish this all end.
Get him in. It won't be recorded in his end. All right. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Let's not worry about it then. Yeah.
We'll just say goodbye. If you haven't seen the Pajale's new video part, go and check it out. It's a well-weathered watch. And if you want to support Jeff, get yourself to what was the website called John?
It's just freedomediscate.com. There you go. So, yeah. Thank you very much for listening and we'll see you soon.
