and then it comes out and it does not live up to the hype created, is pretty boring with not much variety and a mostly boring soundtrack that didnt seem to hit the mark/match the mood/feel of the riding on screen. It did however have its moments…
Chris Fonseca’s “no cassetts” FTW now THAT video made me wanna go ride all day long!
It had it’s moments… but I don’t think the music suited it as well as it could’ve. To compare it to MASH, where majority of the songs suited the riding / filming.
The premiered version had a longer josh ‘big red’ hayes part which finished with him destroying his pink/white frame on a car crash that was more brutal but didnt have as good an angle. it was the 3rd frame he broke during filming and signified the end of filming for his part…
as for the music… there was some rider input/in jokes (‘send me an angel’) along with a standing rule that the soundtrack could not feature any songs that had been on a Bay Area skate vid.
papa steve (steve b) and his skid variations make me smile. his leg overs where he grabs across his bars into the drops are super smooth.
my thoughts - looks amazing. there are some brilliant shots. but as a whole it does get boring boring watching people just ride down streets stupid fast for an hour with only a handful of variety to break it up.
will probably watch every now and again due to it being filmed so well.
