Get Lesta - Sweetheart

I was whistfully talking about anyone that had tech potential to be honest, spurred by the comments about Bush. I wonder if they might have become more powerful with the right crew, influence and inspiration.

Hmm possibly but I think being on the right team, travelling with the right people could have opened up more for him.
Barney page as mentioned is a great example. He shines on sour but before he was in that group, his early skating was really skilful, but forgettable.
Bushy could inhabit a similar space to someone like Brian peacock or marek sprazenky (sp?)

Loved this. Always good to see Brum spots getting killed. Best trick for me, Bush’s switch heel up the curb at 20.20. I’ve just rewatched that about 10 times trying to comprehend the style.

The space of no longer being on Primitive!

Probably not the best examples as neither is that memorable.

Is Charlie Munro still on? He was part of the Get Lesta crew

i think he’s still on primitive

isn’t Bushy chocolate flow?

Think that’s first time I’ve consciously watched any Get Lesta output, enjoyed it, them lads are good

I think I’ve now watched it all in bits but I really need to watch again as a complete video. It is sort of merging (for me) into that other video with lots of crust from a couple of days ago. I did lose focus on it yesterday but I was working at the same time haha, but I have enjoyed what I can remember.

I don’t think the general footage overload is helping at all. Maybe time to step away from the likes of Instagram, try not to get pulled into Youtube shorts and just watch the longer form videos - it seems the bombardment of short form footage is completely ruining the more packaged efforts.

Primitive? Nah been off for over a year. No board sponsor right now.

I thought it was good. Get Lesta is always very no frills but does showcase good standards of skaters and skating. Great effort from them all, always.
Main reason I don’t rewatch any is because it’s no frills, and the music and lack of theme/direction isn’t to my taste. That is what it is, no diss, just a preference thing. Music is always at the forefront as to why I like things enough to watch again and again. That’s become such a big problem with skate vids.

Annoying but funny IMO. His T-Funk and GX (both who I adore) reviews are hilarious

Half way through, excellent stuff. Had to turn it off as son was watching and he’s not allowed screens, even educational stuff like this

Watched this from the start again just now. Shockingly good skating on Midlands brutalist architecture. Big up all involved, again.
