He’s pro?
Damn ok that was amazing. Skating, filming, editing perfect.
Anyone that does Bs Nosegrind bs revert on handrails is a fucking legend in my book.

Fuck man Niels Bennett is so good
It’s the UK Skate Comp classic - as you very well know mate!
You could bet your mortgage that some miscellaneous local mosher would come along mid bowl jam and start trying a 360 boneless from the deck to flat bottom.
All for the culture!

That was rad. Loads of interesting London spots I’ve not seen skated before (though that could be my sheltered existence).
Billy Trick gives me strong Ian Dury vibes.

Skated with Niels when the Adidas lot came down to Swansea a cuppa years back, everything was so dialed and bloody lovely. Reminds me a bit like Suciu, dare I say?
This Free article to accompany the part gave me anxiety just reading it:
Niels pipes up and says: ‘yeah maybe I’ll just go to Route One in the morning’. Confused as to why anyone would want to go to Route One in Covent Garden at any time of the day I press him on the matter, and it turns out that this emergency passport that he’d so desperately needed to get a hold of, had been left there for safe-keeping, because right after getting it done he’d gone for beers in that zone with it still on him. So just to be recap, we’re in a situation where Niels is already a bit pissed, and the one precious document he needs to fly home after weeks and weeks of being on the road is nicely sat in the safe of a shop that’s located on the other side of London, and which of course was closing in just over an hour. Oh, and obviously his flight the next day was way too early for him to stand a chance of catching it if he was to do the mission in the morning, that goes without saying. We alert him of how imminently he’s about to massively blow it, and after a bit more angst- inducing hesitation, we finally say our goodbyes, and off he goes, visibly devastated by the thought of not being ‘allowed’ to stay for just one more pint.
The next time I’d hear from him would be three days later with a text saying that it was a ‘crazy story’ but that yeah, he’d just about made it home in one piece. After a bit of digging around it transpired that after retrieving this emergency passport, rather than heading back to the skate house where he was staying in east London to pack, he’d gone for a few at a pub around the corner from the shop where he knew a skater worked behind the bar, a few turned into quite a few, and he ended up falling asleep not too far from it… And getting his phone and wallet robbed.

I don’t understand how people can surf through life with this “skin of your teeth” attitude. I totally get it and I’m sure Niels doesn’t suffer from any kind of anxiety or anything but just how can you reliably function?

Definitely deserves its own thread. This was my favourite part so far.
Has this been posted here yet? Very enjoyable part.
I agree.
I can still only post on my phone - can someone please start a Lenz III thread?
I can’t even think of the word that I’d use to sum up the feeling I get when watching those LENZ parts. It’s a mix of pure enjoyment, stress, anxiety and pride all in one. I don’t get it. I fucking love it.

I may get hung on here for a very old phrase we used whilst a bit into Japanese only import video games - dating sims, bullet hell shmups, random rpgs etc
‘Mad Jap Shit’.
LENZ and LENZ II are similar, just great vids representing Japan and I so want a hard copy of this to go with them.
I appreciate times have changed and someone will be outraged but I’m talking 23-24 years ago and it was a form of appreciation, not piss taking. I have a JDM import car in my garage, again, it’s pretty nuts by normal car standards.
Anyhow - super special, hyper energy and to us, mental. But embrace the fuck out of it as only Japan can do this shit
