Emerica Stay Gold

[ske]

Westgate's and Herman's parts were my favorites. Westgate's got great style and I loved that picnic table section... insane pop

The rest of the vid was a bit boring to be honest. Sure there were tons of impressive bangers from the rest of the skaters, but I think it was a bit lacking in style/flow... Maybe it's those damn tights that cause it but I think everybody apart from those 2 looked really stiff and/or out of control.

Probably just me that cares about stuff like that tho...

im underwhelmed...

reynolds part was not on par with "tis" or his b3 part..
not by a long shot....
hurts to say cause ive loved the dude since he was 14....
retarded...

the one thing that i dont agree with, with most production these days is the constant one track theme....
unfortunately this go it wasnt the style of edit it was the repetition of runs to double angles ON TOP of 2 min parts...
3 years to film isnt 2 min...
2 peeves right on top of each other...

hermans part is ok...
but by his skill, age, and ability its about as lazy as a stoner hes become could get...

leo...
possibly the best part...
his tricks arent too crazy yet there always a bit over the standard for himself..
and i can see that when he skates...
it is a struggle....
even if hes a generally smooth skater....
dude is the last of dieing breed of skaters that actually want to push them selfs...

Jamie Towncowny...
kick smiths..
wallie hurry full out....
most effort from anybodies part..
besides maybe Marquise Preston...
impressed with both to say the least...

jerrys part...
so excited...
but at a 2 min part and 1 mins worth of bails you have to wonder as to why they even edited it in the first place...
its an insult to jerrys hard work..
and insult to the editor..
and for emerica its just bad business to ok for the public...
so far beyond disappointed...
even though every trick was fire...

brayden...
like ellington in "tis"..
stole the fucking show...
felt like a part..
everything was well rounded...
ender was beast as is...
and it was the least of the parts to make me watch the same trick twice...

i miss the days of one camera...

all in all..
underwhelming...

no slomo drama parts...
no double parts...
one theme technique....so much room for more...

my assumption is that the baker boys have something special for there next baker parts...
those guys never slack for the board co and id like to keep some hope for b4...

it would be stupid for me to assume reynolds part was going to be amazing..
he getting older and he tries to stay comfortable...
thats fine...

brayden won...
leo showed his growth......
reynolds made a decent part...
the ams busted ass...
spanky could have been better..
herman could have been better..
hsu injuries made the worst part...
westgate goes fast on bigger things, big woop, welcome back to 98....

underwhelmed..
and i feel like a dick for saying it...


business wise...
i cant warrant a purchase without some flavor...
with the time spent..
tricks accomplished..
il just stick to my reynolds shoes....
rip reynolds 1..remakes..and the boss remakes...
2s are ok but for the most part emericas shoes by style and design have changed so much since its beginning this film almost seems like a "i miss you" to its original idea and image...

Westgate and Romero took the cake for me.

I don't know what it is, but i don't feel blessed after watching this. I miss the feeling of wow, now i wanna go out and skate. The video surely is good, but it doesn't get anywhere near to blow my mind. Honestly most parts gave me a hard time watching em, or try to keep the motivation to sit this out for the lenght of the video. maybe its the loss of new stuff (romero did handrails up, that was something new, at least for me), they surely did hard stuff but its all machinery, like bam, bam, bam and again. i miss the soul in skateboardvideos, nowadays its just bangers and go über-big. funny part is, that if you'd do some of the tricks done in the video in skate, there would be enough people to say "c'mon that's so unrealistic".
i totally gotta agree with schnavolda, on the fall in love side!

there've been 3 parts i actually like: reynolds, hsu and romero and all i remeber of those parts are the intro and banger of reynolds, hsu riding all switch and romero grinding up a 11 stair rail...

for 5-6 years in the making the repitition of spots is just lame. from the spots it looks like it was filmed on a 2-3 week tour.

if i may have offended anyone, i'm sorry but this is my opinion

Right?
Agreed..
Last time I got hyped was when I saw ol' Lance Mountain rip that pool.

Gonna bay the dvd later today, just to see Heath's part. and maybe the Boss extra's

demz, i'm totally with you on everything you said. maybe a lot of skater's aren't "hungry" anymore, but skateboarding is at a point, where improvement is really hard. sure, you can flip in/out of everything and do dub grinds like tpuds, but in the end, it's boring. like falling said, it's like watching machines. maybe i'm just too old, i don't know.

maybe the people doing the videos should think more about how to try to stand out from the rest. the longer/higher/faster-approach is so over-saturated. lately, i enjoy watching european videos like the blueprint "make friends with the color blue" or adidas "diagonal" ten times more. all the us videos have the same spots. no wonder stuff is repetitive if you see in for years straight in every video. the european videos offer a lot more diversity because you don't see the spots in every video.
