abrasivesaint Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 i think now its more tired than anything, watching baker has a deathwish was a task. a lot of bullshit not enough skating, terry kennedys part was seriously only 1/4 skating the rest was crap. i was watching mind field the other day and we raised this question, what happened to when skate videos were actually about skating, and not a bunch of dumb "cool" trendy little artsy fartsy effects and montages and gay shit.

IHATEU Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 what happened to when skate videos were actually about skating, and not a bunch of dumb "cool" trendy little artsy fartsy effects and montages and gay shit. skate vids were always about the "montage" but i agree. aside from doing tricks to make the video "cool" or funny and or a slam section most have failed in raising the bar or doing anything new... i understand alot changed cinematography wise with sony introducing high quality cameras way back and directors stepping into the realm of skate videos. videos like destroy america, yea right etc ect with alot of frills and a high budget kinda set bars in how far videos could go. if a company is going to take "that" route they really have to bring the budget and creativity along to even be mentioned with some of those vids that broke such ground... most vids these days bore the fuck out of me too... most are so typical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ERIZENO Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I read in a recent interview with Stacey Peralta how he looks at recent videos as skate porn. Just trick after trick after trick. It would be cool to see a video go back to something a bit more like animal chin or streets on fire. Something that has a consistent theme running the length of the movie. Instead of each person getting so may say for their individual parts that it breaks the flow/pace of the movie up. And NOT like that bullshit in Nothing But The Truth.

abrasivesaint Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 i actually just watched destroying america, couldn't find the good ole VHS so i had to youtube the bitch. running the trees and shit5 over is probably one of the funnier things they do.

Cheap Thrills Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 FUCK talking shit about Baker. Or any team for that matter. There's a reason why they're loungin', while WE'RE talking about them on a website. Sure, it's hijinx. But the skating was raw, there is no denying that. Lizard King's gnarly, Dixon is nuts, Reynolds...self explanatory. Herman, jesus christ. The team is full of heavy fucking hitters. There is no need to hate. They're just like us. They like to skate and have fun. Just like the video portrays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRUNKEN-ASSHOLE-ONER Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 I'm mad proud of Chris Cole. I remember when everyone in Philly hated him and filmers refused to film him. I remember telling people that this kid was the future of skateboarding, and they'd just laugh and say that he was garbage. Philly's kinda funny like that.

DRUNKEN-ASSHOLE-ONER Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 i totally forgot how ugly jeremy klein's style was. Jermy Klein was ill back then. People didn't start getting all faggy about style till the mid to late 90's. In the early 90's it was all about busting shit that other people couldn't do, and style was just a minor bonus.

JBchit Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 having style is faggy? are you retarded? (that's possibly the reason your philly heads gave cole shit) jeremy klein was good i'm not denying that but just ugly style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRUNKEN-ASSHOLE-ONER Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 having style is faggy? are you retarded? (that's possibly the reason your philly heads gave cole shit) jeremy klein was good i'm not denying that but just ugly style. I didn't say that having style was faggy, I was trying to say that couch potato ass niggas watching videos and trying to pick apart dudes for their style when he just ollied 3 fucking benches stacked is kinda faggy. Mike Carrol and Guy Mariano have ill styles, but nobody really gave a shit about that back then. What people gave a shit about was the tricks they were doing. Then the mid/late 90's came along and all of a sudden any dude with dreadlocks and 60mm wheels doing a 50-50 grind on a bench "with style" was all of a sudden better than people like Rodney Mullen doing nollie inward heelflip nose manuals to whateverthefuck out but sketching on the landing. If you take offence to what I'm describing as "faggy" then hey, maybe the shoe fits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
