SKATEBOARDING NEWS THIS WEEK

Supreme bring out a 30-Minute Full Length Directed by William Strobeck

Featuring the likes of Kader Sylla, Zion Effs, Ben Kadow, Sean Pablo, The Gonz, Kevin Bradley and a bunch more, the roster for this Supreme video is incredible. Filmed and edited by William Strobeck, this Supreme full-length's been getting a lot of criticism but I really enjoyed it.

I love the music,  ironically at points, the skating is excellent, there are some funny moments and there is a lot of character and charisma in the line up. In my eyes, it's an instant Supreme classic up there with King Puppy and Pussy Gangster

Will Strobeck's Marmite Filming

For the first couple of clips, I was almost convinced that Strobeck was gonna film like a normal person for this video, but no - zoom in, zoom out, shake it all about. Will gets a lot of stick for his motion-sickness-style of skate videography, but I hate to admit... I quite like it when I'm in the mood for it. 

Billy Boy's also getting a lot of stick for talking shit to people in the video but I like that too 😂 However, I do think there's way too much B-roll in this, even though the majority of it is pretty entertaining.

25 minutes of Bobby De Keyzer 😍

The steeze goat Bobby De Keyzer teams up with Quasi Skateboards' filmer Tomas Morrison to bring you a full part at one spot in Toronto, a full set of perfect ledges and manny pads. Bobby doesn't settle for a bit of sketch. Bobby is a chill guy, but if his landing isn't perfect, he loses his shit until the perfect one is stomped.

Great Artistic Vision & Rewatchability

The filming and editing truly makes this video a beautiful project. I especially liked the part where Bobby disappeared while talking to security. The ledge tekkers are unmatched and the standard of his manual game is just as high. But what I like about this one is that it captures the frustrations and celebrations of filming a part. I'm gonna watch this video at least 50 times.

Nathan Vitale in Space Program Board Co's 'Blue Marble"

Space Program Board Co, a small skate company from... idk? brought out a sick full length named 'Blue Marble'. They uploaded Nathan Vitale's highlight part from their full length.

Skating to Jimmy Cliffe's cover of 'Wild World', Nathan showcases some classy and unique street skating. This one's a perfect example of quirky skating done right 💪✅

A Heavy 30-Minute UK Full Length

I have never heard of the filmer Luke Humphreys or the channel Mike Rotch before, but I assume they're based in Nottingham, as that's where Sneinton is. They must love a bit of Coventry due to the amount of footy from the Cov skating in the video. What is known is they've pulled off a wicked homie video project and I'm now a big fan.

A Massive Roster of Skaters Tackling Crusty English Spots

With a full squad of over 30 skaters, this underground UK video is a gem. A great, gritty VX full-length to motivate the British. It's always nice to see lines at familiar spots, and unfamiliar ones! I'll be doing some Google Maps hunting for a few spots in this video. Good job gang, I loved every bite of the Sneinton Sandwich.

Keen Dist Hit the Indoor for an Annual Skate

Keen Distribution are the undisputed powerhouse of UK skate distributions, growing massively in their success and brand portfolio over the past 2 years or so. They provide the UK with loads of brands, probably some of your favourites, such as Hélas, Polar, HUF, Skateboard Cafe, Pass~Port and loads more.

Catch the Keen crew & friends in action skating the Spit & Sawdust Skatepark in Cardiff 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿,
in association with Cardiff Skateboard Club & the Ben Raemers Foundation.

Kai Kishi's Showcase of Japanese Skate Spot Heaven

No music in this one, just Kai Kishi and pure skateboarding ASMR. Kai has some serious balance, to say the least. He's among the rising number of Japanese legends getting snug in the skateboarding industry, riding for April Skateboards.

Skating clean, unique spots in low marble ledge paradise, check out Kai Kishi's nose manny game. It's heavy!

Looseness, 100% Commitment and Goods Times

From my important internet research, I believe Molti Schianti roughly translates to Too much wine. As I always say, I'm an ignorant Englishmen so please forgive me if I'm wrong. 

This video's filled with a sick crew, as Schianta Lepori and friends tackle beautifully weird spots and a beautifully weird trick selection. A truly unique project brought to you by Ashes and FreeSkateMag. There's some dangerous, but perfect spots, non-stop action and some funky music. What's not to love?

Featuring some big UK names such as Kyle Wilson, Kyron Davis, Korahn Gayle and Twiggy, watch a 3-minute edit of the crew skating some random skatepark in Lagos, Portugal over some AfroSwing type tune... I found it a bit boring to be honest, but Twiggy is wearing Jordan 4 SB's so I'm sure the youth will love it.

There is some cool street skating at the end after some random surfing B-roll. People... can't we just throw the skatepark footage on Instagram and just accept you only got 2 minutes of street footy on your Portugal trip. They'd probably have landed more without those Jordan 4's on 🤣 Twiggy ollies a fat set at the end though.

4 Minutes of Emilio Dufour in Uruguay 🤩

Emilio Dufour is criminally underrated, with a very solid ledge game and a quality style. He moved from 'Murica to Uruguay 11 years ago and has been making good use of the spot selection since.

Love is in the airl as well as Rodrigo Gonzales

Last but not least this week, Rodrigo Gonzales, with some artsy black and white B-roll and 4 minutes of absolute hammers, mixed with some dramatic music and superb filming by a few different filmers who understood the objective.
