haha true

[NotedDerk]

He needs to just propose to the guy and get it over with.

[madsser]

I don't care how innout is a bitch and all.

This guy, is a-fucking-mazingly good. Incredible how good he can make the physics look. wow, oh, wow.

[madsser]

A dub grind in OG skate?! What is this sorcery!?

[Clayfighter]

not all that impressed really, i mean these guys are interchangeable.

[SK8ERatWAR]

explain please

[thesignguy]

they do not have their own style. Each one is a carbon copy of the next. They even look the same

look they are all good if not nobody would look at there videos or respond to this thread

[Permy]

Everyone skates the same ^

and I liked it for what it was
and the dub grind was stupid

like SG said, they all have the same style and most times the same character model. theres nothing about them that says who they are besides the name tag. the biggest problem though, is that they praise themselves so much. they have never stood on their own footage but rather on giving themselves all these accolades. i mean look at their youtube page, they named it that to trick people into thinking they had something to do with the game, and to tell you the truth, thats very similar to what that albert kid is doing.

you're right about that, but since I can never ever do some of the tricks they do or the way they approach spots I don't really care much about the way someone skates or dresses. and imo only innout and kanen look alike, and kanen does things even innout will never be able to do.

you're kinda right, I agree with you that they shove feathers up their own asses alot. But they did represent the "skate community" for a couple of years, didn't they? NO at least easkatetv did. IN HIS EYES

fuck Kanen, in n out killed this shit

[Clayfighter]

thats the thing, they've never represented the community. of all the truly influential people from this community, they are the only ones who have tricked people into liking them. people like Demz have never had to claim to be someone else to get noticed, thats why his name gets used in other peoples tags on youtube, because he really has had an effect on skate. but they use manipulation to get people to like their stuff.

[thesignguy]

I would put Demz, Magic, DJ Adam, Pawn and a few others ahead of anyone on BKS as far as being influential. Even Clay I think came up with the mid trick switch stance glitch haha

besides southy is far better with the stix than Kanen in my eyes

can't deny that. But they did represent what was realistic for many people I think. I mean Demz and all those other guys are influential and all, but I personally have never seen them like kanen or anyone else from bks, because I was just more into the realistic stuff.. It's true that they're arrogant pricks, but I don't really care, because imo they pushed realistic skating, without kanen or innout, I would've never thought of popovers or dub grinds like smith-feebs.. I'm not saying they were the first ones to do that stuff, but for many people like me, they were the first ones to show.

did they ever say they represented the skate community like albert does? I've never seen them do that. (I started following them just before s2 came out so I might've missed some things in the early days.) I don't see the fact that they tricked people into liking their stuff.. I saw a couple of montages of them and I loved 'em, I never connected them to ea or black box..

This is the truth!

[Clayfighter]

heres the thing SK8ERatWAR, before they became "the realistic" team there old videos consisted of them doing crazy unrealistic gaps and other things. but they have erased all those videos, they copied people styles and ultimately became the team you see. they named their youtube account EAskateTv so that kids would assume they were developer/ publisher videos and would never correct kids when asked if they had anything to do with the game.

if you like their vids thats fine, i just think you should know the shady shit they have done to get recognized, including making false accounts

[jerr bear]

I enjoyed the video, I liked his Fashionbly late one better though.

Interchangeable? I don't know, I thought they all had their own style, at least in s2. It's the small details that seperated them from each other, these details could be found in:
- landing
- type of tricks
- filming
Especially Bob Saget.

And even if they were interchangeable, very few of us were/are able to do the lines performed by Kanen and very few are able to create an edit like innout - I'm 99% sure of that. I really think the difficulty of some things BKS has done, whether it's the tricks they did or a certain vibe they've created around their videos, is being underestimated by some people. But then again, it's all about one's opinion (and people should stop trying to objectivy theirs, imo!).
I'm not saying we should dickride GK/BKS like Linny.

[NotedDerk]

We are the 1%!

[Fecal Face]

So much OG arguing right now haha.

Both Innout and Kanen make S1 look gangster as fuck. Clean-ass stylish tricks. Can't argue with that.

i was pretty much going to say something like this so instead i'll just quote it.

i enjoyed the video a lot and i'm glad to see someone can still find new things to do in OG.

[r0ke]

Southy invented the sticks, and he took them away..

[Roccityroller]

They seem interchangeable because its one person dressing up differently and making a 'team', we've proven this in S2.

There's nothing "special" about linny's edits either. There's a lot of other editors on here that have done much more powerful and inventive stuff than he ever has and to say that nobody can come close to that is nonsensical.

When I said "an edit like innout's" I wasn't talking about "1337 editing sk1llZ". I meant the vibe he managed to create around a couple of videos was rather unique and can't be compared other edits. I like his vision.

Really, this discussion is getting old. Let's focus on the video that was posted here.

[Roccityroller]

ok. I wasn't super impressed. some interesting spots and tricks but his ABD part was better.

[m.seven]

the tricks were good,especially the ender,but i thought it was kinda boring really.definately not gonna wait in line to fap to it like some of those yt comments.

[knexzor]

The dude is ridiculously good at what he does. I always found it peculiar how much of a ghost he's been compared to the rest of BKS. Never seen him argue on forums or youtube. Either he's more humble or an even bigger diva. Who cares tho, let 'em have their fun.

the sparse interaction i've seen from him makes him seem a lot cooler than in n out at least

[Clayfighter]

Giant Kanen is the new Switchtre. If you were around during og, you would remember a kid named Switchtre who was on BKS and was highly praised by in n out and wasn't as big of a presence on the forums.

As for video vibes, I can understand you liking them since they're mostly copying real skatevideos. From song choices down to entire parts. There was a time where you couldn't go on te forums and not see another happy medium clone

[MarcoPoloUSN]

The video is good. Nothing else matters.
2:07 line... my god.

[Slamooh]

it seems like some of you guys can be morons too :(
dishonesty here
by the way, GK has always been cool and you're definitely blind if you deny how good he is.

do you really think landing sideways or picking a fat character make you more unique ? :rolleyes:

I didn't see in this thread anywhere where anyone said or eluded to anything you just said. What I see is how some just elaborated the early quote of "it's funny to see innout is still licking gk's balls" let me go back and see who said that.....

Oops nvm

Read again and be honest, i was making a weak remark but i wasn't denying they made good videos and brought some original stuff to the table, which is obvious.
Then it started to be "hoodlum invented stuff and innout and his buddies are insignificant bad kids"
Bear with me, it's caricatural

same old same old

sorry i should focus on hoodlums next fl

[pawnluvguitarist]

It was a good video, didn't really inspire me like the last one he put out. But there were a few tricks and lines i liked.

if it wasnt for linny's s1 videos and s2 solos at the beginning, half the people making videos now would not play skate the way they do now.

Now i love a good joke! And that was Great Thanks.

Video was ok. Double grinds in S1 ain't really all that hard, getting them to look good and not squashed auto-lock looking, well that takes skills haha.. :)

As for the rest of bickering, it's just the good old days of EA returned yay!

I found ABD rather refreshing. Honestly this statement makes me smh.

[saunders420]

I dont understand how people can say that, In general; a majority would never of played realistic because some group started doing it first. Ive heard this forever lol

this is skateboarding....In a video game which allows you to do as you please....

So it would be granted that we would see varieties of styles incorporated into the game as a natural reflection from how we would portray ourselves skateboarding, or someone we like as there are remakes. A vast amount of realism can be looked at a bunch of different ways....Even though the limit and boundaries of the game get stretched, some can make em look good or bad....Its taste and how you prefer it. Everyone has adapted to sucking balls and playing favourites. you can separate the bunches easily around any community forum to be honest, Everything is blatant.....but there is still love. luckily.

Personally I hadn't even heard of innout when I started this gig. It was all TNO and the rest of DP that made me get going. (Man TNO's lost spots and "strictly" series. <3<3<3) And I personally adapted my playstyle from everywhere, from demz to linny, from supafly to jerrel.

Skate what you want, stop bitching about people that doesn't follow the style you enjoy skating/watching. Hell I have petpeeves with the tings people do in this game*cough*rampedbsflipdown3set,doubleangleshitfuc kthat*cough*



I have no idea where I was going with that, just spent an hour getting nostalgic with tno and shit. Can't remember. fuck

[Deacon]

Couldn't agree more. This is why I think the skate series is so good, it has something for everyone. realistic, hippie flippers, trickliners what ever your bag skate can offer it.

In terms of the video, some of the tricks were sublime. I've liked most of what i've seen from Giant Kanen, though i hadn't see most of his earlier stuff as up until about a year ago I hadb't heard of him. My first exposure to skate videos was Champoy and Animal Machine videos.

oh god yes, tno got me into making videos as well, it wasn't bks, I heard of them after I started making videos. tno doesn't speak much in the public either btw.. I think the guys that influenced me the most were tno, then eakskatekrew (justkatenohate lol, he was a chill guy) and after that it were probably jerrel, guth, vp and blast that really inspired me.

Skate, film, edit how you want and stop worrying about what other people think, ya know, kinda like irl skateboarding.

Roke the voice of reason. Its about preference when it comes to what style you like, thats why we play skate not any other game. Because it allows us to do that; but then we argue over what this game has let us do...

Emulation is how skating got started, some guy did a kickflip and then after that everyone was doing them (the flatground guy cant remember his name) what people should do is tweak what they see, until they like it before anyone has a chance to see it. This was kinda stopped by a lot of threads on the kids table saying "Watch these people, do what they do then you'll be good and people will say you're good!"

At the end of the day ill tell someone if i thought they shredded, if they're a dick or too humble to agree. Problem is dick's have a much easier time operating on the assumption that everyone will love what they put out.

Whatever happened to DJAdam? And what Southie does is almost not fair, he could probably do one continuously for a video and I'd be entertained yet jealous of him being able to do it. Plus VHS is so much better than ABD in my eyes for that simple point that has been brought up that it's almost the same parts in ABD. Which ironically gives it an appropriate name.
