I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Chris Mulhern is one of the absolute best filmers/editors.

That Joey O’Brien part is the best thing I’ve seen all year. Skating, filming and editing were fucking perfect.

I’m a dance/theatre/live-art performer and maker 
Must be a buzz playing sax on that kinda track, I’ve got a mate who’s a percussionist in a Steve Reich ensemble and he talks about going into a sort of super-focussed trance. Kudos to your partner!

oh cool, sounds fun.
Yeah she says you have to go in on this stuff because if you think about it you just throw yourself out of it. Sounds intense to be honest.

Not watched this but I’m guessing it’s got some of the worst music, filming and trick selection.
He turned pro for Hop King.
Save yourselves 7 minutes and watch Joey O’Brien again.
I need to rinse my eyes out.

Appreciate your work with that Hugo. That stuff surely does add up to a miserable time.

Filming really let him down. Not gonna say I’m a fan at all, but a better filmer would really have done him some favours

Maybe, but a lot of that stuff was just generally underwhelming. Loads of tricks down 3/4 stairs. Grom shit.

Everything Hop King touch in skateboarding is shit. Almost like they have no business being here

Not watched it but “Do It Rolling” is quite a self aware title, eh?
Edit: Just watched it. Fair play…the intro goes to explain why he skates ledges stationary. I get it.
That said, the part is pretty weird. Poor guy. He just looks like a freestyler who really has struggled to adapt to street skating.
All of his lines at known spots are like barely insta story level stuff for others. e.g. Perfect ledges/stairs at St Pauls…Noseslide, Backtail, 360 flip on flat, ollie a small block then kickflip a 6.
Not sure why I clicked play really. Just wondered if it was worse than I thought it could be, I guess.

I mean, fair play for him or anyone really getting really proficient skating on your own in your garage but the most memorable bit for me was the Irish weather forecast at the beginning.
How do you even turn pro for a brewery though? Thats a lifestyle hammer surely. Im not even taking the piss either, what’s the beer like? I could do with a beer sponsor, they hook up Decuna as well right? Get me on board noone enjoys my footage either. Talk to me

I’d rather watch him than Decuna if I had to choose a Hop King rider

Yeah definitely.
Long tangent but stems from this…
Checked out this guys Instagram and one of his clips has the below song on. Can remember it was used in the last Krooked video but am sure it was in another not long before and it’s doing my head in. Maybe an Atlantic Drift edit?
(Also watched 1 minute of this Hop King part and had enough. I’m sure he’s a lovely kid though)
It was some Atlantic Drift, or Jake Harris related thing.
The filming of that Hop King part is awful. The footage is incredibly shaky in so many places.
