haha hate that blue rail.. it's not even an interesting or good looking spot or even a fun rail for that matter..
My favourite videos are realistic but I've come to appreciate almost anything since I've been on this forum.. If a trick takes time and effort, it's instantly likeable for me. So the way I skate is that I try to be creative and push the limits of what is possible and still be realistic and making it look the most realistic it can look. What I like the most is trying stuff which I've never seen before.. But that means that out of a hundred things I try just 1 works, but when you get that 1 to work it's really satisfying to know you've done something noone's ever done before. When you're not playing realistic I think it's much easier to come up with stuff that's never been done before because there's no limit to what you can do, so in my opinion that makes skating realistic a bit harder and forces you to be more creative.. I'm open to discussion though because I know there are some people here who have a different opinion on the matter. COME AT ME BRAH
yeah I'm one of the goofy ones who could care less about the Prowlin/Skelli style (I personally think its hard to watch)
but I understand the style (and can respect it big time)
as far as what I look for in videos, I like filming.... if you got smooth/classy/somewhat interesting filming (or super good realistic, which Ive only seen 2-3 times not to say some other realistic videos have bad filming just not super good) then I dig big time
most everyone will say DON'T USE ANYTHING OVER 17mm for Follow Cams, well I really really like the look of the 24mm follow cam (like in the s3 trailers).... I dig it cartoony for some reason IDK
I am also big on music choice, if I don't like your song I watch it on mute
I dig hard tricks or creative tricks too, but if those tricks don't have good filming I dig no more
so I'm a "Filmer Punk"
I guess

I don't care about ABD spots (such as the infamous blue rail) as long as it's not just a 3 flip or boardslide or whatever.
When I find something to skate I always try to think of what might not have been done there. I'm not a living encyclopedia when it comes to what has been done where (especially for S2) but for the most part I'm happy with what I do at spots.
My favorite tricks in other dudes videos are ones that make me mad I didn't do/think of them first.
I just do tricks that I think look good. A lot of the time they take me a while to get.
It bothers me in parts when the camera shakes at the end of a line/trick. I know it happens to everyone where you don't notice it when filming once or twice and it ends up in a part (same with ghosting in S2) but there are solos I watch where it's about every trick and it drives me nuts!
The owl cam thing for me is hard to watch because there's so much going on, despite that, I still think some of the tricks they do are the most difficult that can be done in the game.
I also haven't seen the 80's VHS theme in a while and I'm glad because that was overdone to shit. Irl included.
Also not a fan of parts that are 50% skating and 50% other shit.
I guess for me it's more of a list of "dont's" than "dos." Im not too picky as long as I can tell someone took their time finding good tricks and filming them well.
do people say this? i mean maybe in skate 2 but in 3 it's a lot easier to get away with lower mm settings since you dont have to worry about ghosting. you can easily make 14/15mm look incredibly solid, all my footy is 14-15mm for lines and, like, 12-13 for single tricks.Originally Posted by emericaridr11
as far as what i like to look for in videos, and as someone who prefers to watch and make more realistic-style edits, it's gotta have both the substance AND the style. anyone can do X trick, but only a select few can do X trick with Y tweak at Z spot and hit W landing animation as they roll away. ive spent like 15-20 minutes trying to get ollies over big gaps because i wanted a certain landing animation. demz takes DAYS to get the animations he wants. once you watch enough videos it's easier to understand what i'm talking about, it becomes very apparent which clips had the most time spent on them, and those are the clips i like to see.
yeah I meant ANYTHING OVER 17mm..... you caught me Snail
my bad my bad
boobies and 'xplosions
unique style.. the games been out for so long that you can spot a cliche trick, style, spot a mile away . people that choose to skate differently all the while retaining good filming and tricks are the best in my book. i also appreciate people who take time to get clips, some people stack a bunch of basic clips and then quickly put them together to put out a video as fast as possible. all that i will say about that is that 90% of the time it shows that they were rushing. quality over quantity
