Jante appreciation thread

@sk8arrog8 posted this new Jante video by Fritte Soderstrom in the Footage thread but it deserves its own thread.
This video series (i think this is the 4th) is some of the best content in contemporary skating.
Seriously gifted filming capturing equally gifted skateboarders.
You’ll be hooked after 1 trick.

When I get a minute I’ll post the others in here too - unless someone else can do it.

Unreal technique. He’s absolutely perfected the 16:9 fisheye filming. I can’t stress enough how fucking difficult what he is doing is. A filming god.

Filming gave me a headache. Not into that mega low down fisheye.

Same. Put it on my telly and it made me feel dizzy.

Was ok. Music was nice.

Music was sick, skating was sick. Do I get punished for not really noticing the filming? Didn’t like the colour treatment. But aside from that 8/10 great effort, would watch again

Maybe it’s a filmer thing. Gotta respect his craft as what he is doing is very hard to do.

Love the filming and general aesthetic of these edits, good tha.

Bbz wake up etc. etc.

Starting off with that Lieutenant Pigeon banger. I was fairly confident no one would use these 1970s one-hit wonders, but I was wrong.

This belongs in here for Tyler Surrey alone.

Fritte is the best filmer in the world.

Have I ever seen footage from Serbia before?
Genuinely no idea.
EDIT: Must’ve done because I’ve seen that volcano spot before.

Unbelievably well filmed, edited and composed as ever.
Hottest video series in skateboarding for me.
Noseblunt nollie flip on the bank-stairs-bank thing and David Jakinda’s footage finally being presented in a tasteful and culturally aware manner.
This is top tier subculture.

I like how confident he is behind the camera to be that close to the tricks when he shoots fisheye and I love how often he shoots lines from in front of the skater, which makes him look like he’s going way faster, as well as being way harder to compose the shot.
And the fact that he’s filming some of the most technically adept skaters of the past 10 years has to help, but then, all his videos feature the Sour crew, so he’s obviously onto something.

Big ups Fritte.

So fucking good. Gustav is the best

Oh didn’t see this thread. Yeah it was so good, alley oop on the street volcano quarter was incredible.
