Was a weird clip, skating was sick but just seemed cobbled together.
This part is FUCKING bonkers

Well with that review I’ll watch it.
I always trip everytime Santa Cruz put out an edit. They couldn’t be anything further from last of the mohicans, which is a great characterful video.
It was all close friends having fun though, so it’s always going to have more passion and humour behind it.
The difference is worlds apart though.

Lol.
Some extremely heavy single tricks and mad pop.
Not USA style but you will like it @nedertron
He also looks like a young blindolliesoftrock too
Yeah, I feel like a lot of the SC videos are just a budget load of clips bought from various filmer and that is it…nothing to pull it together.

100% yes. Exactly what I was thinking when I was watching.
If you peep their YouTube, they produce a LOT of content. So, Joe Perrin probably has about 4 hours to edit each clip or something daft as they go out so often…so, production will suffer.

Yeah very true. The edits don’t do anything to detract from the magic of lotm and I’m glad an indie filmer can get a nice gig so can’t hate.
Bit bland tho

This brand has gone in a bizarrely MOR direction. Thought it was going to be all about championing women skaters when they first announced it with Leticia and Sky. Now they have a massive male team and are using Run the Jewels in their edits. Odd.
The fact that it is (presumably deliberately) named after a putative MK Ultra led sex slave creation programme has made me queasy since the start given Sky Brown’s involvement.
Oof. That’s grim. Dipshit So’ Cal industry heads need to run their ideas past more people with actual braincells.

I mean, it could just be, but to me ‘Project Monarch’ instantly refers to dark shit.
The logo is pretty Govt dept too.
As for the butterfly connection - yes, the Monarch butterfly pertains to royalty but it also pertains to apols for Reddit link
By the way - I’m not on some ranting David Icke shit here at all - I’m just interested in this stuff (which is fairly mainstream now given the success of Stranger Things) and various aspects of that skate company don’t sit well with me.
I’m probably talking bollocks though

Santa Cruz consistently have absolutely terrible music choices and very first year of ‘film school’ edits. Really uninteresting.
Monarch edit was also odd. Don’t get that brand.

TBH that sounds worse than referring to some deep state sex conspiracy.

Yeah, and that’s what’s odd because it’s the guy who made Last of the Mohicans in about 2010. And that video was amazing.
