First of all, The beginning is HILARIOUS in Tim Tim's. I like how they did the morning routine for the skaters. I love when I see a varial heel in a line. like his first one. its so stylish. He has some awesome wall ride combinations. That huge ollie at over that gap over that platform is gnar. He did a front blunt to fake nosegrind on that rail to ledge! crazy. The switch crook pop over is a sketchy spot. I don't see how he had enough accuracy to lock on and come off without falling in to the rail. I wonder how much effort it took. The 360 flip from rock to rock is probably my favorite trick in here. The music is great. Great Part from Chad Tim Tim
Second is Levi Brown. Once again the beginning is hilarious. I wonder if Levi really gets lost like that. I love how they look at him when he finally shows up at the spot. His trick selection is awesome. Style is awesome. Bones EVERYTHING. Like the smith kickflip out on the ledge going up. straight awesome. Frontside flip over that ledge and bushes is crazyy. ollie manual to ollie over rail?! how do they do htis crap. man, i want to get that good. 50-50 to wallride at the end and then back one over the bench? Levi, you're too good. That switch nosegrind to body varial off doesn't make sense!!! dude is defying my logic. The rock to fakie is stellar. I don't understand what he does around 3:47. He is pushing but is able to do a shove it while he does it.. DEFIES LOGIC. Then again skateboarding has none. Also I really love his Fakie Tre at the end. Also, you can never go wrong with some Janis Joplin. He's one of my faves, also one of my first. You'll hear more about him later. Maybe. This is his latest part. He only has like two or three.
Last but not least, we have Darrell Stanton. Another stylish dude. I love how he is ignoring like he duties at element. Just chilling in the morning without a care in the world. I love how he gives his food away to the manager to go skating and the music cues in. Nice choice musically again. that back lip to back blunt was too awesome. The front blunt on the grey ledge is way gnarly. also did anyone notice Guy Mariano in the background? He got a recent spitfire ad there. pole jam 180 stalefish is also gnarly. Dude needs to sit down somewhere. The switch heel across the grass and rail is freaking nuts! so is the nollie full cab on the rocks! Early grab on that gap is to die for. I want to learn those. Switch 360 flip over that rail was freaking cool! Last but not least to top everything off is the swtich ollie from those stairs into the street at the end. Man this guy can SKATE.
Anyway, I won't review parts like this often unless I just really like them. Which I could review for days. I'm just too lazy. I had a need to because it was new and I keep watching them over and over.
Element might not be everyone's favorite but they did a good job on this!
Congrats to the skaters!!
by the way these parts probably came from sole, the video for the element shoe team. The shoe company kind of folded and they scrapped the video. But we got this! for free! check out the element podcast to download it!
