26 hoods....Psycho HQ

[Jack]

Eflixx - 2:08. Wow. I can't believe you finally got that trick. Way, way, way harder than it looks.

Hesh - loving the tech.

Bullett, wallride stale.

knex - you and skhate need to make babies, now. Bareback.

magic - that was officially the best footage I've seen, you need to get Supa to film you all the time.

(sidenote: Supa, your filming is so damn good. I'm amazed that you filmed all of this.)

Roc - wallride 5-0 shuv.

Mackboogie with the bs tail to bs noseblunt!!!??? what? What? How is that possible?


Anders - wallride polejam, I've been looking for the shit. Wallride polejam is possible, mind is blown (damn the video is good)

Demz - blunt wallscrape! I quit.

Southie - Just stop it. I'm speechless.

A-maze-d.

let me start by saying that everyone delivered in this, too much good stuff to go into detail. some others did and i agree with them. southie put the nail in the coffin

i also highly respect the work you guys put in there, especially supa. i filmed eflixxx' tricks and that alone took aaaaages, haha.
and doing tricks while someone is waiting and watching is hard to do.

i hate to be the odd man out but i want to point out some stuff that i think could have been better.

imo, 12 minutes is very long for a video only taking place in such a small place. half of it or a little more would have been perfect.
using hip-hop, instrumental for the most part, didn't make things better. gets kinda repetitive. in the end it's a couple of bars that repeat over and over.
to make the hip-hop work, you have to go the bobby digi route. all the beats are so prominent, you have to use it to your advantage. if not, video works against the audio.

my opinion obviously and you said it yourself "the filming and editing is out of the equation and it really is about the tricks and usage of the spots for me"

and now i have to go coffingrind stuff

Let me touch on some of what you said:

The instrumental:

I had originally been using a version with lyrics,untill i got to horseheads part,where the rapper "Bizzare" starts to rap about being raped by his dad and thats the nice way of saying it,it was just so lame but i had already edited so much of the video i didnt want to turn back and find a new song and re-edit and beat match everything all over again,so i found the instrumental and stuck with it.I get that you hate hip hop intrumentals too,cause it's not the first time you have mentioned it on one of my video's.To each his own regarding music is what i say and i'll leave it at that.

A 12 minute video in 1 spot:

You said it your self "i filmed eflixxx' tricks and that alone took aaaaages" and "doing tricks while someone is waiting and watching is hard to do"

Having said that,dont you think we have pulled off something amazing at the HQ,26 guys skated it,killed it,each in thier own way and not one person has commented on its length in a negative way untill now.

Is it not amazing then that eflixx did'nt do anything that was already done by another of the 25 hoods?.I think that just goes to show the diversity of our teams,skaters and is sort of the point of the entire video.

26 guys 1 spot,style,creative use of spots and diverse tricks.

I guess we will just have to agree to disagree on this one.

I said in my first sentence that the skating was great and if it makes you feel better i say it again: everyone delivered.

I would be a moron if i'd expect everyone to agree with me, but obviously i have an opinion. I'm very aware that you choose this the way to be like it is because you wanted to.

you said at least twice to me that you want to work on your edits, so i thought i comment on the edit.

also, there's more than black and white. just because i nitpicked on the editing side of things/length, doesn't mean that i think the video is absolutely bullshit. far from it. like you said, everyone killed it,each in their own way.

sorry if this came around harsh, i sometimes forget that people interpret way too much into written words. my bad.

oh i wasnt offended by anything you said,i did want to tell the story about why i used the instrumental,cause i also think it didnt work that well for this video,as far as the video length,26 skaters in 12 minutes end o' story.

[skHate88]

it was a good vid, and you know it
now lets have a sausage party

[BeatChemist]

Holy. Flucking. Fuck.

That was hands down the best comp/group/collab video I've seen. And I really think it comes down to two things.

One - the filming, as mentioned, is damn consistent through the whole video. It made everything feel cohesive and showcased the ridiculous skating, since it allows you to focus less on cams/style/personality of the filmer (not a knock to you Supa, I'll get to that). The filming felt transparent, in the best way possible.

Two - the premise/setup of the project.

and doing tricks while someone is waiting and watching is hard to do.

This is the whole deal for me. Everyone threw down like this while Supa just sat and waited for them to crank out bangers???? That's fucking skill. I don't think I'd be able to land anything worthy of a comp like this while someone else who's skating I admire/respect was just waiting for me. And that was actually kind of humbling, to be honest. So I have great respect for everyone in this. Hoodlum rolls deeeeeeeep.

AAaaaannnd also crazy respect and props to Supa for just making this happen and putting the time in to let everyone do their thing. I don't even know how you found/made the time, or organized filming this in a week. Filming was staggeringly smooth and made everyone look awesome. Edit was crispy and clean. I like instrumental hip hop with my skating, so I didn't get tired of it - but I can understand that critique. Can't please everyone though!

Thanks. This was a great watch. Everybody killed it.

[mrsk8t]

that video was amazing supa, well put together throught the whole thing i never got bored and i love your filming.

and i just wanted to shout out magic and clay for adding me to the fam with this being my first collab and seeing it come together so well i really feel like im part of something bigger

and also shout out to bb for teh game that is all

[Skatehead]

Hoodlum!

[MackBoogie]

Hoodlum!

[Roccityroller]

fuck it all this was epic. and my joint burned through the whole thing, so i thought it was perfect length.

on that note.

psychonaut opener... love it, classy, let the hosts set the tone for the whole shi bang bang.

Hostile
Sweet buttery love magic actually skated too which is probably the most impressive part of this video.

Threat
Thanks for showing up guys, even seamonkey, who supa didn't even know was on hoodlum when he filmed him.

Vice
I fucking llove you guys, style for days and swagger to follow. (note: I use swagger because i feel like its a word that clay would hate)

195fucking4
giving the mothership the ender is also classy... and deserved. 1 comment... double angle on south's ender was awesome. I didn't think it was real annd then you were just like "fuck you, watch it from this way" and i dropped my joint...it's true, southy IS actually THAT good.

Nice work on filming everything supa and stev, you guys did great. And supa, thanks for watching me fail for several hours and not even get a trick. I'm sure me and flixxx aren't the only ones too.

All in all it was awesome. skating was on point, supa asked for bangers from everybody and everybody delivered. Supa's whole theory behind this was to make the video solely about the tricks and not the edit or the filming. and i think you accomplished that. great job.


and skating with someone waiting IS hard, but it's realistic... lol

[Unflexed]

You guys got some serious flare.

1:54 that dude totally ate shit on the stairs lol.


1954's song and tricks blew my mind.

Long live hoodlum.
