Very smart move by Quasi. The pull of Jaeb is evident by the numbers. Full length released in March at 77K views. Jaeb released on Wed and has already overtaken it…

Watched this yesterday and really enjoyed it, but also realised I’d conflated Dylan Jaeb with Diego Todd for some reason.

Trick selection and creative direction of video too though

I want to like Quasi but I struggle to give a shit. Rizzo is on right? He’s pretty good.
Jaeb being on probably opens up a different demographic

And Gilbert, though he’s probably at the point of winding things down a bit.
Jaeb definitely getting me hyped on the brand again now that Gil is chilling and Bledsoe has retired
If you didn’t watch it, or watched and forgot it, start with their first video Mother. To me, it feels like the spiritual successor to Greg hunt era AWS
Dane barker has a great section in grand prairie
The Bobby de keyzer stand alone part BOB is a great solo piece and feels more like a short skate video instead of a modern skate section released to web
They do shoot themselves in the foot abit by giving off the vibe that they see themselves as one of the ‘cool’ crews, but it seems like that’s down to Gilbert Crockett a fair bit.
I Probably wouldn’t want to spend a long time with them but enjoy the videos they make

Completely agree and have never bought anything they’ve made BUT they did put out my favourite video of the last decade or so…

Yeah I loved that BDK video but honestly didn’t realise it was a Quasi thing

Pretty sure his ender is an almost perfect example of balance, core stability and proper squat technique.
There were some definite MJ reminiscent moments in there, along with some tricks that seemed too much of a coincidence not to be nods to others.
I like him and I think an AWS makeover was a good choice in the long run, whether it was entirely his idea or not!

Does anyone else chuckle to themselves when they think about them having to consciously edit out him Jaebing aka smiling aka being happy after doing a trick? I know I do

Finally finished this and realised the only thing I’d not seen was the fakie kickflip ender, which I’d already seen on Instagram.
Good part, mans got skills, I liked it…My mate was talking about how hard fakie double flip manuals are on Tuesday. I was like “yea…I can imagine…” lol. Right, I’m going skating. Laterz taterz.
