More low level trickery from top brands. This is something my crew would’ve filmed for one of our crappy scene vids 20 years ago.
Are you being sarcastic?
Maybe so, but doesn’t stop it being a decent trick.
It’s a tough one, brands need content but they also want to stick with their riders who have a legacy. It’s just that those older skaters aren’t footage machines anymore. Some are slowing down, others are trying to skate in new ways.
If Spanky was now in his 40s, rather than 30s, I bet your reaction would be different. More like ‘He’s still got it!’ I still like seeing footage from him, even though it can sometimes be underwhelming. His Made 2 part was sick.
Frontside flip tailslide shuv out is hardly a basic trick.
No.
Hold some high standards for your insta clips. What do you want from Emerica instead? Spanky is getting on a bit, I’m sure his stuff still sells.
Not really. Just shocked how many low level tricks I’ve seen from top brands recently.
I couldn’t do this one myself but it’s not that hard if you’re vaguely competent at skating.
kickflip front tail is hard AF, makes flipping into a back tail seem like a walk int park

Just peeped the last few posts by Emerica…
18ft QP Ho-Ho.
Fast as fuck flip K on a rail
an insta line I’d have put in a video if filmed properly
a 13 stair (I think…hard to stair count on a tiny screen) Switch Back Lip.
…and for the record, a flip fronttail shuv is a tough one.
“Low level trickery”? Come on…
PS. Link those scene videos! Down to peep if your crew were banging this stuff out for sure.
But I wasn’t talking about those 
This just popped up on my feed and I thought it was really low level for anyone on a big brand Co. Part of a trend in the last few weeks.
I’m not saying it’s super duper easy. Seeing a trick I could conceivably have at least a go at doesn’t really stoke me out (personally).
…and as if I have the VHS master tapes of those beauties.
I do know that a lot of companies have mentioned the worry around lack of content post-pandemic.
1/4 of the year, gone…nothing being shot (mostly).
I’m currently shooting something which is due out next week so turnaround times are screwed right now.
I heard Thrasher is worried about holding onto their pace which is why we will probably be seeing a lot of non-US content in the coming months.
Mad times.
It’s New Zealand skaters time to shine!

Manual magazine has some bits but NZ is in winter and most clips are car park footage with no indoor parks.

Yeah but I bet Mason could make them both look sick
Is that the same rail Louie Lopez did boardslide to five o on? Both are so sick…
I can’t find it - although only scanned his Insta and watched his Purple part.

Not sure what’s happened there but I did place between those ‘insert Finbarr Saunders image here’.
