I remember having a phase of going to Matalan to buy “The Jano Fit” - brown chords, plain white tee, navy jumper. Etnies “Francis” shoes too. Full kit.

Seems like he’s been skating a bit more over the last couple of years. Deffo seen some more varied footy, than the ubiquitous fakie slappy crooks
Need more trick tips from him

To his credit he had full parts in mosaic, inhabitants and origin for habitat, along with a part in expedition one’s alone, Transworld subtleties and Nike chronicles 1.
He definitely paid his dues as a pro and was probably getting toward the tail end of his peak as a pro anyway
But yeah, I also wanted more

I think I’m subconsciously still doing this.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m a fan, I just wish he’d kept on skating when he got that shoe.
The booger slide (is that the correct name for this trick?) at 1:15 alone is enough to make him a legend.
Doing a backside nollie switch front crooks in a line skating to Lake of Fire was pretty epic too. There’s things we cannot forget.
Haha! He always rocked baggy sweaters with the t-shirt hanging out from the bottom and made that look pretty rad (Jerry Fowler did too).
I’m definitely jealous of some of his jumpers and shirts.

I actually enjoyed the stuff around his shoe, because I’m a geek for shoes, but that was pretty vanilla.
It made me wonder how rose tinted my glasses have been for a return of Epicly Later’d. It had me wondering if the old episodes were always this surface level but stood out because it was novel to have skaters talking/interviewed like that on camera at the time? Whereas now, audiovisual interviews are such a big part of skate media that Epicly Later’d doesn’t have the same charm it once did.
I liked the Viceland series but thought it was cool to see the show returning to its “original” format but I’m not sure if I’m sold. Something like this would’ve probably been like 4 parts long, way back when, too right?

Yeah I think there’s a bit of that but feels like the guests are more aware of what Epicly Laterd is now and take how they present themselves and what they say much more seriously whereas the earlier series felt far more candid and the skaters didn’t really think anyone outside of a core audience would pay attention. Also they rely on YouTube revenue these days so the newer series are edited in a much more traditional ‘redemption arc’ sort of structure to broaden the appeal and get people outside of skating to click. Before they felt much looser and more organic, like Patrick just hung out with them for a while and used whatever footage he got along with some talking heads.
Also on the Janoski one I think he just is a bit of an airhead, love his skating but don’t want to hear him talk

More like 8 if I remember rightly, just a quick look for Kalis’ one on Youtube tells me that was 7 episodes long.
Even though I enjoyed this episode I think you’re on to something there, it reminds me of some music documentaries I’ve seen which you’d think would be really interesting but half of it feels like it cuts to a band member saying ‘then we all just went to studio and recorded the song’ or words to that effect.
Zip at Ideal gave me a physical DVD of the Cardiel Epicly Later’d. Lost it somewhere along the way. Still pains me to this day!
I’m waiting to watch this properly. Fucking love Stefan

He’s the fucking best
Hopefully O’Dell has finished most of the new episodes. The cuts seem more to be focused on downsizing Vice’s written content.

Thought this was a new full episode but it’s the raw footy of his past interview. Still stoked to give this a watch
I’ve always loved this Paulo Diaz part from Powell/Peralta’s Propaganda video (1990 iirc)
The amount of tricks in it that you’d never seen before, were 20 years ahead or just plain gnarly was mind-blowing then, maybe more so now with the benefit of hindsight.

Clyde Singleton pointed out Paulo’s noseblunt slide down a handrail in Ban This.

I’d argue it’s the best Powell video. It’s my favourite but it was my first ever video though so i’m biased.
