Was always on the fence with Durao, but skating to the gun club just made him my new favourite skater.
Thought it actually worked really well as a 40 minute montage, wouldāve been even better with some namesā¦

Only 20 minutes in and skating is very good from all. Cyrus is a stand out so far. So is Nicoleās fs air and Carlosā switch crooks.
On the topic of Durao, I agree with anonymity, the late one foots were over played in this video. A couple would have been fine. Itās a shame because heās obviously a sick skater.
On the latest episode of nine club live they discuss versace plugās ability to make things like shove it late shove it, cancel flips etc look good but that heās an exception to the rule. In the case of one footās, in my eyes they are only worthwhile if they are booted like Matt Hensley. The way durai does them just shows he has board control but no aesthetic value. Thereās a reason we donāt see lots of one footās, late shove its etc and thatās because they look pretty stinking. Showering your first full part with mini one footās after a big sponsor change and prolonged hiatus from the media lime light feels very marmite.
Finished watching.
Level incredible.
Daanās last trick should have given him last part.
Deeds does gnarly tricks with stinking style and even worse wardrobe.
KB with a sick bs tailslide but he isnāt top five greatest of all time.
Heās put out about 5 full sections over the years and opened last years John Wilson edit with a full section.
No interest in watching him do one foots and the half flip things.
He looks a lot more fun and spontaneous when just charging conventional tricks in the middle of the street and working it out as he goes along, which heās filmed tonnes of.
Thereās an argument that the excess of one foots here reveal a limited ātrick vocabularyā, that previously seemed to be infinite, in his case.
Quick edit: one foots aside, his footage was absolutely batshit and I would be so lucky to grovel at his feet. Bloke looks like a greek god, and skates like heās neo in the matrix

Iāll take your word for it and stand corrected although I feel like a lot of the footage Iāve seen from him has been in montages. Too much footage these yearsā¦.
Speaking of montages, Nike putting out a full length in 2024, it would have been nice to get a few name credits, at least for those with more than ten clips. That said, I was quite pleased with myself for knowing at least 80% of the skaters featured.

Will try to watch again tonight. Keep losing interest on my first watch due to the length of it and lack of names.
Amazing skating though

Some of the best skateboarding ever documented, in an overplayed, generic format. Sounds like Nike to me.
That said, Joe Campos was a standout in some pretty illustrious company. I wouldnāt have put money on Ville having one of the most memorable tricks of the movie given that crew either. Vilma and Sarah had some crazy moments, Georgia Martin too. Deedzās mum should have sent him back upstairs to get changed (and told him to smile more) but damn heās good. Daanās ender should have been the movie ender though.

This isnāt a local homie scene video. If you donāt recognise the skater on screen thatās on you! 
Watched the whole thing in full tonight. Absolutely fucked from start to finish.
Personal highlight was Danās ender in Milan.
The fakie ollie over the road gap I assume
Actually one complaint from me - Deedz does this gnarly but stinking switch roll on grind with his arse hanging out of his jorts and it was a major no no for me.
I realise youāre being irreverent here but given that Nike currently sponsor 10000000000000 people even the biggest geeks are going to struggle to keep up. Surely appreciating individual skaters is the whole point of skate videos? Unless itās to force feed shoes into your mind

Tongue in cheek as always with me, but not all 10000000000000 flow riders are in this video. Only the top cool dogs. I recognised 95% of the skaters. Plus all of their names are shown in order of appearance in the credits, so stop blarting about it!

There was about 5 people I didnāt know the names of
I also get Cyrus and Palmer mixed up because nobody ever used their names for years in clips they were in
