WOW. I've never seen anything like it. Granted I've been out of the skating scene for a while but keep in touch from time to time, but this blew my mind away. Very satisfying seeing something different. The video editing, style, and the creative grinds make this very fun to watch.

 

[rass]

that was incredible -- any idea what the goop he was putting on the rail was? been a while since i skated and this makes me keen as all hell to get back out there!

 

[Patrick Bateman]

Great skating, horrible editing.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

Pretty much yeah, extra bonus for using lube instead of candle!
Also, check Richie Jacksons part from the new Transworld movie And Now?

 

[Metroid Killer]

That was pretty awesome, some trippy stuff indeed.

 

[Always-honest]

great. great editing to.

 

[KevinCow]

Pretty cool. Horrible editing and filming though. Was it really necessary to use a fisheye lens with the camera pretty much on the ground for 90% of the shots?

joke, or?

 

[ElectricBlue187]

Very entertaining, unlike 99.99999% of skateboarding videos that don't involve accidents the whole time

 

[KevinCow]

joke, or?

No, not a joke. Why would it be? Is fisheye lens/camera on ground considered good filming by the skateboarding crowd or something?

Looked like it was just wax. If no one has skated on the rail before, which it looked like, it's not as smooth the first time around. Definitely a cool video but I wouldn't say the most creative.

Eh, you see it in videos a lot. It's become pretty standard.

natas spin evolved. This dude is a super-hero!

 

[GHG]

He's insane. Watching this makes me wish I continued boarding for longer than a year.

 

[XSX]

need more vids!

 

[ToyMachine228]

That's what happens when you don't have any "real" skating spots around. You have to get creative. When I skated, my friends and I were always doing weird stuff like that. Not that advanced obviously.

 

[soultron]

Awesome stuff. That guy must hurt himself a lot though, doing unconventional grinds like the chain. When he ate that concrete block, I actually recoiled back in my chair.

I enjoyed the DVS "Skate and Create" video that recently came out.
(I think from a transworld contest?)
Nothing groundbreaking trick-wise, but really nicely put together.

Rofl i like you. You think outside the box. See the rest of us are in or around the box....but you're outside...doin allllll that cool stuff.




Anyways, cool vid. Cool creative stuff. I like creative stuff. It makes me sweaty and feelin' good.

Are you kidding me?

Yeah, I'm chalking this up to NeoGAF's typical Japan worship. Some really neat stuff, padded out by a lot of stuff you've seen before if you've watched skating videos, or even watched the trick / bail footage at the end of any Tony Hawk game.

 

[Brobzoid]

blarrrgh. stop being such poopers, dudz... This japanese dude is fresh. Everyone have seen Fully Flared and Rodney Mullen before. This was new(to me) and cool. Hyperbole is always more fun.
