Great crew of skaters who all skate together, put out rad edits and full-length videos all the time, but unfortunately have some of the worst graphics going.

Both are Swedish.
I think the Sour guys took the piss with this one.

Sour is a great brand and have a helluva squad.
Just got round to watching this & would like to point out that pro/sponsored skateboarders wearing odd shoes has got to be one of the most stinking things out

Think this is a leak or something… haven’t seen it officially released yet. First bit is all very deja vu but it gets more interesting later I reckon

Seemed like that Sebadoh track had been slowed down, or is it just me?

Ah well, it’s bound to come out officially soon. All pretty predictable but the stuff about the 2nd incarnation of Alva skates in the 80s is good. Also some footage of him ripping now in his 60s
Really liked that, aside from the ridiculous “HOR, JAPAN” presentation. We get it, they’re Japanese, you told us that at the beginning. You don’t need twangy guitars made to sound like a koto and calligraphy name cards. I wonder if it being so on the nose all the time is a sense of national pride for the skaters, or it just feels like playing up to stereotypical presentation for the west to carry on being like “look how weird and different Japan is, oooh exotic.”
Am I overthinking this? Probably.

Thought that was kinda shit…best bits were the regular vert lines.
Megaramp bores the 32C cup size off me.
I just feel like the mad spinny, flippy air stuff is so much easier on a 20ft transition (once you get your head around the transition).
Gimme some Buster in Now N Later any day…

The 720 kickflip was really fucking cool.
The best thing about it was the music though haha.
I have no idea what that music was but it was refreshing to hear some shouty trashy stuff for a change. Made me want to get in a mosh pit haha.
Rick flip was cool too.
yeah that was slowed down quite a bit, a little too much. pretty strange!
Must be difficult to be a vert skater in a world where Jimmy Wilkins exists.

Cool. Had me tripping for a minute and questioning whether I knew the original or not!
