TRANSCRIPT · AUTO-GENERATED

Welcome back to the sports radio. Me, Ryan, and over in Canada, we've got Mr. Buckbear, Will Hickey. Hey, how's it going everyone?

Another great video part that's just dropped in its Alex Majuris's, Dreaming Out Loud, Adidas part. Cool. Got to check it out mate, and we've got to have a companion with this one. So if you haven't listened to a companion before, we basically just do it as a watch along, we press play together, you can listen to us react to it.

I've got it up on Thrasher magazine on YouTube. If you type in Alec Majuris, I'm sure it'll come up. It is four minutes and 31 seconds long. Yeah, so you might as well pop it up guys, if you've got a spare minute, you'll get up on your iPhone or something.

Nice part, not too long, not too short. Yeah, I'll just read the description. So Alec cut his teeth on the biggest spots in the game. It still propels himself towards more hazardous horizons.

A little bit of a iteration there. This part sizzles from the start, Jesus Christ. This part sizzles from the start to finish with the collection of enders of the highest order. So let's find out mate if it's sizzles from the start.

Sizzles from the start. I bet there's a ton of choices in that, mate. Yeah. Let's see if this is from the start mate.

See how it sizzles? Count down from three and we'll press play together again. So it's three, two, one, press play. So we've got a Thrasher logo, so it's a proper Thrasher part as well as Adidas.

And we've got Alec just, do it some like, it looks a bit like a Globe party, mate. You know what I mean? That's sort of pipe. Kick through some trees.

Lovely, mate. And he's just showing us now that he likes a handrail gliding down a 50-50. Nice long handrail. And it boosts a beautiful backside flip.

Lovely backside flip. And with the front crook to fakey on a nice brick bank. And we're just flowing here, mate. And we're just flowing.

Just flowing. Lovely pop out of a crook on a rail. Nice. That was a rail to wall there, mate.

That boy's like, that was a good little line. Back 50, couple of kinks. I'm liking the tune, mate. It's not like it's heavy metal as maybe Alec could have because he's a fucking handrail skater.

But it's got a nice little flowy vibe to it. I'm into it. Oh, double. Front ball drop front ball.

Yeah. Proper long line here, mate, as well. Camera man going around. Down like a four set.

Or 50 nose bonk. That was nice, mate. Oh, lovely back lip on a wooden kind of block ledge. Nice spot.

Big kick flip back 50. Blunch of on a handrail. Fucking hell. You like the big shit.

Big backside nose blunt down a rail. And ridiculous flip back lip down a huge handrail to fakey. That's which front crook? Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Oh, not only crook there as well. Down a big hubber.

Yep. Silly king to rail 50 50. He ain't worried, mate. He ain't worried.

He doesn't worry about kinks, mate. Back nose blunt. Nicely done. Oh, kick flip front nose grind or maybe an over crack, mate.

Yeah. Flip. Flip back Smith. Big front blunt, fakey on a ledge.

Losers a hat. Ah, mate. There's, I mean, most of these tricks are heavy hitters, mate. Yes.

Lovely. Give us a couple of double edges there, mate. Yep. Silly back lip, double kinker.

Oh, we're going to have to break these down properly, mate. There's so many quick bangers. Blunt back. I flip out.

Nolly flip back to it. Yeah. In crawl. Oh, Tre, Tre feeble.

That angle Tre, Tre feeble on a rail. Crook, Nolly flip out over the sidewalk. Over crook, double kinker. A proper over that is under now over crook.

Yeah, that isn't a nose grind. Oh, Oh, and that is the Nolly flip down the the bobby air. I think he only that in like, add everyone's handrail where Nemus killed flipped out. Nolly flip over there.

Oh my God. What a heavy hit, mate. What a heavy hitter. Big, big vibes at the end from the team.

Yeah, I would just give a shout out to the to the film. I film my Taylor Phillips, big ups to Taylor for putting out a really, really nicely put together part lines in there as well, mate. Big hitters, lines, really good angles. Mate, that part was very nice, very different as well for an Adidas part.

A lot of Adidas stuff is heavily branded with Adidas. You know, they might put a few three strikes in their mate. You know what I mean? They might just give me a little bit, which I'm not getting.

So I think you should kind of do that if that's your brand. Yeah, for sure. You should have in there, but I like himself is more of a surfy looking guy. You know, he's a shredder.

So it's more of his flow. I really like it. I really, really like it. I'll just give it.

So additional film we maybe got Justin Albert, David, Serrano, Chris Smalhern, Anthony Travis, Chris Duncan and Bryce Packeter, Page two, apologies. Whatever. Big ups, big ups. Such, yeah.

Awesome shoe. Let's see if they just give us the credits for the tune in mate. Yeah, music by team in Parla, the boat I wrote, it's called. Like you were saying earlier with the song, mate, it was he could have had something totally different with the way that's, you know, part was laid, but it still worked really well with that nice flowing song.

Just a nice, easy vibe, song, mate. Really, really cool. And somehow didn't affect the weight of the tricks. Definitely right.

Like it works because of how casually he's doing these tricks. This is not quantity of just high tricks is quality quantity high tricks. This is just a bang is after bangers. The only tricks in there I felt didn't really kind of like completely fit with the whole gimmick of the park.

Right. Were the with the hop ledge and the ledge, which was super technical, but they were the only only two clips that I felt weren't necessarily a part of the park. Not, you know, not gonna clip some it at all. But everything else was hubber, handrail, long grind, big set.

They were the only two that I mean, I suppose you wanted to stick some edge tricks in there. You know, you've got to take all the boxes to try and make it more rounded. But they were the only two that I kind of thought like, and maybe they should have came earlier in the park. I don't know.

That's just me being really pinicky. And I know what you mean. I think if anything, those spots to me, they almost just kind of was like, oh, that's a cool spot. You don't get to see spots like that.

And I didn't really think too much about it. Straight, well, I think one of just a long front board on the wood. But I kind of just really like the Ali Ali before it. And I think the little pop, pop, pop with the front board at the end was nice.

But just a little bit of filler, really. It wasn't. You could have taken it out. Added to it.

It doesn't really change anything. Obviously, it would have just kind of just channeled everything in a bit more. Yeah. I mean, let's just start breaking somebody's tricks down.

It's kind of first official trick in the park. So you do get that 50 50 that they kind of just breeze over. It's the big backside flip from like the parking lot down to the down to the pavement. What a backside flip mate.

What a catch. What a spot as well. Yeah. I'm just coming up to it now.

Just rewatching it. What a nice catch really goes underneath him. I just can't believe that spot. Yeah.

Oh, no, it'd be a nice just if you could get an only out of that mate. You know what I mean? Be celebrate for days after that. Jump to the next trick here and make the sound of this front crook.

That's what you want out of a crook of grind. If a crook of grind doesn't sound backside or frontside, if it doesn't sound like this, you're not doing it right. Yeah. It needs to sound like this.

And again, don't know if I've seen that spot before from that angle, but really nice ledge to bank sort of spot. Really fucking cool. And that drop, you know, once he's gone to faking mate, that's quite a big drop. I think that would disrupt the whole vibe of approaching that ledge.

Knowing that you've got it's not just a little curve drop. You know, you've actually you could get fucked up on that. You know, no downplaying that. You definitely could have done several front crooks land on the bank, bail out on the floor, just not being in the right position and it being quick out quick, quick drop.

Yeah. And then backing it up with the lovely backtail slide off almost like a quarter pipe up to a plantar, backtail flip out to to fakie. That trick and that spot are made for each other. That's what you want to see.

You want to see someone hit a backtail and then what could you, if you're a plain skate three or whatever, what would you want to do out of it? That's exactly what you want to do out of it. Yeah, definitely. Really cool.

DIY quarter. Perfect little spot. The next line here mate, like you said at the time where he hits that crook on the handrail, very flat kind of rail. Yeah.

Nice little pinchy pop out of it. You know, still going downhill mate cruising. The board slide where he hits the wall, rides on to rail, back onto the ledge. Another cool spot.

Just that rail. Just giving him another extra board here then mate. So then he gets the toe from the motorbike, boosted a kick flip over a ballad, drop curb. Looks like we've got a bit of a fish-eye sort of camera on there.

I bet that's really fucking far. Oh mate, that is going to be, if you were there at that spot, you'd be like not a chance. Yeah. Not a chance.

I mean the fact that he needs the motorbike to give him the speed is telling you that that's a decent old gap. Yep. We've got a nice big back 50 on the double kink rail. And then one of my favourite little bits at this half cab crook, 180 out into the bank, just so nice, brought it all the way around.

Everyone knows it, but sometimes like how could you finish that trick? It's like when you see someone do a front tail to fakey or whatever. Sometimes you want to see to fakey, sometimes you don't. Yes.

It all depends on the spot. It's like a hubber for example. A tail's like a hubber generally I think looks better, thanks to Kenny Hughes. Looks better when you go to fakey to it.

It just flows it. Such a nice trick and different stuff into aqueducts mate. Right. Yeah, fucked up doing those tricks.

That was blessed with the double angle, which is a really cool double angle. Shows you the kind of size of it, shows you the sketchiness of it. Awesome little shot there. And then comes straight in with the front side crook there as well mate.

Big steep hand rail. Yeah, really like how it comes out of that as well. I think you've got to be in trouble coming out of that, right? Because if you...

Yes. You're going to be just heading into the ground. Yeah, just over nose heavy. And then flick back to you as you do.

Beautifully done. And then followed by the double front board. Such a nice and the sound of that mate. The sound of that is what makes it just like the fact that the tune, they haven't even got a tune that's got beats.

So like normally you'll be looking for those beats to kind of hit on, but it's almost nice that there isn't a tune that's hitting some beats. So then you just really just get to respect that sound of those rails pinning, you know. Yeah, that's it. Like some true skateboard and ASMR there.

And another great line after that back 50. Just jumps down some stairs, hits the tray, cameraman goes down the ramp to the side and meets him back up at the rail. Was that back lip that you hit there mate? I can remember watching it and not be unsure if it was a back clip or a back Smith.

Nice couple power pushes beforehand. I'll just watch it again. See if I can pause it on there. Yeah, the cameraman doesn't quite keep up with the...

Which is hard. You know, that was a tough line to put together mate, you know, going the long way round and everything. It's looking on here and turn it right up. Smith?

It's looking like a Smith. Yeah, I think it's... Have you got one 25? Yeah.

Yeah, that's got... That's looking a lot like a... Looking like some truck locked in action there. Even his arms don't look like he swung it round for a back lip, do they?

Yeah, it doesn't look like his hip goes quite enough, but very nice line. Yeah, beautiful. Then super, super tech here mate with the front 50-50 on a handrail to nose bonk on like a... The end of a wall.

Just the end of a wall, like a tile on top. Not saying that it's anything near my caliber of trick, but if that was a flat ledge, only on the end of a flat ledge, same height, that would be very difficult just to ollie over out of the 50-50 for a general person. Let alone quickly on a rail or a respectable height, ollie over nose bonk. I'd love to see that spot in real life to kind of see how quick you have to be.

I think it's going to be super quick. Oh yeah. Just being on a round rail mate, you know, that is just... You kind of forget that you're sitting on a round rail before he's even nose bonking.

Yeah, and you don't want to be on that round rail long. You want to be on there in a nice blocking spot and off. Next spot mate is the wooding block ledge where he ollies over to real thin, kind of... It's almost like a bench.

Yeah. To a civilian looking at this place, it's probably used as a bench at the waterfront or something like that, probably frontboard, but he holds it like a back lip, looks like a back lip because he hasn't really gone over properly as he. Like a snowboard frontboard. Yeah, but such a smooth slide mate and then completes it to fakey as well, which needs to be done, has to be done.

Yeah, it works really well on that. And just a nice long glide at the frontboard. Very nice. Really cool spot that one.

Another cool spot, flip back 50 over rail onto a outlet sort of deal. Great sound, really proper grind. You know, he may have been struggling with that. That might have been sticking.

Yeah, might have to be a light foot of grind or something that you put too much weight on it. It's just going to seat you. And then backs it up with front blunt to shove me on these pink handrails. Yeah, that's right.

Really nicely done. You know, it's really nice flowing shove. That shot doesn't show the size of that. I think that that's going to be a tall handrail.

You know, that shove out of that, it's going to be an impact in itself. Yeah, that'd be nice to get a double angle from. But that was almost like how some people's back T-Shoves happen. You know what I'm saying?

But obviously with the blend and at that height, really nice. Then it's the hard flip down to double set mate. So good. So good to shape.

You know, we're not even that kind of close to it, are we? You know, it's quite a long lens kind of zoomed in shot. But the shape of it is just his shoulders are just doing all the right things. Got a little crowd in the background probably going absolutely nuts for how you know what I mean?

This is like a Chris Jocelyn hardfoot right here. It's fucking huge. Yeah, you won't get to see many skaters throw something like that mate in front of you. Yeah, really sick.

Then moving over to the back nose blunt mate down there. Big back nose blunt. Yeah, what's the size of that says? That's over 10, right?

I think I've counted about 15. Well, there you go. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Big set. And that works really well with the music in the background kind of like just works so good with you know, they slow mode it really nicely done. Yeah. And the same with the flip back lip, which is perfectly done as well.

It's almost like the music's kind of not necessarily hasn't dropped. You know what I mean? It's waiting to happen. It's just in an airy space slow mode.

It's just kind of yeah really shining light on these tricks. And he's in the old switch stance mate. Nice yellow, yellow hub over rail down. He decides he's going to skip the rail mate.

He's just going to go on top of the on top of the hub. Give that a lovely front crook. Lovely switch front crook. Yeah, just nice sun shot as well mate.

Double low angle ethic. Yeah. And then we've got the Tom Pennyboard making an appearance mate. You see that?

Nice raster raster print mushroom ball in there. I've got the nose grind. Yeah, no, no, shut out really nicely done. Back up with a Nolly Crook mate.

Nolly back side crook, which I love that trick. I think that's a really underrated trick. Yeah, really nicely done. I really like the shot of that as well mate.

But you know, you can't double angle every trick, which would have been nice to see. But no, you can see the bond though in the cracks mate. You can see there's a big old crack in there. You know, the bond though in there.

Pause the two minutes and eight seconds here. But you can see the size of that fucking thing. Yeah, that is a meaty hub. Nolly Crook has a special look to it.

It's so much shoulder strength and in your knees, such nice shapes and everything mate. Very nice to see. It's hard to be precise with that trick as well mate. Because even just doing a Nolly fucking 50-50 or whatever, it's a different grip, different response from your board to kind of so you really get a Nolly up on there and then to be in that pocket where you put your weight down and know that you're not going to be missing the edge of that hub mate and then just breaking your ankle on the steps.

Because that's the gamble on those sort of tricks. It's missing that leading foot that you put all, especially with Nolly, because that was your pop foot. You've almost made that your power foot. So it's heavier foot.

You're sitting in it more. You can easily miss that sort of shit, but done to perfection. Yeah, definitely. And then chilling mate.

Just chilling with these one, two, three, four, five, six, is that six kinks in it? It's a hell of a lot. Yeah, it's like a five or one, two, three, four, five or six. Like that's how many flats there are on the stairs.

Multiple three sets or four sets. Right out like it's like it's nothing mate. It looks like he's just at a skate park. Just rolling down the bank.

And then it's a really nice frontside blunt slide to gap, hoiking over a grass gap, which is a really, really nice meaty trip. Again, you don't see enough of blessings with another backside nose blunt down a big handrail, double angle on that one mate. Nice to see. Yeah, really nice.

That second angle is needed because I don't think that first angle shows you how big that rail is. It almost looks more mellow on that first angle. And then when you see him, I've got him at pause at two minutes, 22 on the land. And it's like, that is a real handrail.

Throwing a backside nose blunt down anything is crazy, let alone something that size. Oh, it's huge. Yeah. You know, it's a real high rail.

And when you're putting all your weight on the front nose for a front nose blunt, you know, you're over in it or you're out in it. And that's really nicely done. That's it. Risks are high.

Yeah. Then lovely kick flip. That overcrochet nose. I think Johnny would call that a nose grind in his book, but we can say that.

We can say it's a nose, but a tweak to nose growing. But nicely done. You know, you don't get to see too many of those down rows. No, certainly not.

And then backs up with the backs on overcrochet mate. Yep. Nice little overshot there. And then comes in with the flip back Smith afterwards.

He's showing he fucking chomps on rails jumping down shit. Big rails with technicality. They're all of a certain size, all these rails, all of them are really dangerous spots. There's not many skaters hitting rails and hitting stairs like him.

That front blunt as well, mate, on that thick cover. And the swing, hitting the king at the bottom, mate, to swing it round is stylish, but also so fucking dangerous, so dangerous, holding that blunt on that to wait for it to wait for it to hit the flat bottom of that. Ah, he was waiting to body-side himself. Yeah, that's exactly that as you going down on the concrete, but apparently not for Mr.

Majora. And then, mate, really, really nice rail two-piece on this one. Really enjoyed it. Yeah, such a nice thing.

I'm trying to think where I've seen this spot. This is quite a iconic spot. I'm sure like the I feel like this is the spot that ish-award, or maybe in like a King of the Road or something. I swear he did a tray flip 50 on the second rail of that spot.

It definitely had some King of the Road appearance. Like maybe that to get two tricks in a line or something like that. Yeah. But just doing the two-seventies like they're fucking nothing, mate, is just, it's just crazy.

And it's nice to see someone lose their hat as well, mate. You know, I do like that. So it's like a bit of hat flying off. Yeah.

Another backside over crook. Then we hit the flip back tee, hop over to nose grind or switch vibo, whatever you want to call it. Then the fakey crook. Fakey frontside to nose grind back to fakey kind of thing.

Yeah, yeah, inside outside. Michael. And then what was that? Back nose to, one eight-y-out mate or is that an over crook?

The start of it looks like a back nose. Yeah, and then he just pulls it round. Just throwing his shoulder the whole way around. You know, everyone likes to see something like that, just on a on a standard ledge, let alone down a full-size rail.

Yeah, beautiful backside lip slide. Kings rail. Then hits the flip. Backside, nose, blunt shove out.

Big time 50-50. Front blunt flip out. And then this trick, mate, this trick. Nolly flip.

Yeah. Backtail, I suppose. To fakey. Such a beautiful trick.

Double angle, obviously, neither double angle. It's so good. So nice. Nolly flip back tee.

Fully blind. Getting into that back tee as well. And just to fakey. So nice.

Double angle. Yeah, we really needed that. I mean, that's like trick of the year sort of shit. Yes.

How good that is. But I mean, I'm talking a trick of the year, mate. If we're talking about that in contention of a trick of the year, this tri-flip feeble is ridiculous. It's ridiculous.

Not a low handrail. You know, it really pops that tri-flip high and really gets into it. You know, you might be thinking it's going to be into a 50 and then bang straight into the front feeble. Dipping down me, dipping deep down and just like that, again, that's a handrail skater's top tier trick that is him showing off in that realm of handrail skating.

That's like saying, tri-flip into a handrail, which is crazy. Right? That's your certain level. Trafe up to feeble.

And they give us a lovely, lovely slow-mo second angle of it, mate, which is just fucking perfect. Yeah, then we've got the big time fucking overcrook front side down a multiple kinks and then to finish off, mate, the Nolly flip over the handrail down the big boy block, people would recognize the spot. I don't know the name of it, but they'd recognize it. It is something to behold.

What a big Nolly flip. Quick turbo rating, mate. Quick turbo rating, what you saying? It's got to be a four.

It's got to be a four. Yeah, that Nolly flip at the end is just the main thing for this, you know, it's the place where one of Neem's most famous hillflips is over the side of this, but this Nolly flip is just something else. Yeah, that was a definitely got to have a rate that about four. Could even hit a four and a half, mate.

Yeah, top tier, top tier, big up to Alec Majora for putting this down, big up to Eddie Das. Yeah, great, Eddie Das part. Definitely really just kind of showing us Alec Majora's and what he likes to do. Yeah, perfect.

Well, we'll leave it there. We'll see you next time. Yep, nice one, guys.
