W.F.T.W Skateboarding Review.

[marinelv]

VIDEO: W.F.T.W
WHO's IN IT?: Scot Palmer,John Rattaray,*Paul Shier,Nick Jensen,Andres Holdguin, Carl Shipman,Mark Baines and loads more including the octagon team.
TEAM: Blueprint.

This video is quite an impresive signal about the British scene. This video contrigates the true scene of the British skateboarding. Basically the whole team is amazing and each have there very own techinical trick just waiting to be performed. Especially the crazy risk performed by Bainsey Just ollieing over a gate with very sharp steel spikes on it just imagine falling(OW!). This video has a little more realistic feeling than transworld or the never-ending 411VM series. I am a bit biased against Team videos like Foundation, Shorty's(yet to come)but this video has that all-american trick styling. 360 flip from curb to curb,Backwards boardslide, heelflip off 13 stairs etc. This video really challenges american styling and proves that there is more to britain than beans on toast and BMXing.

OVERALL::P:P:P:P-4/5 a good video and is quite long unlike transworld interface which was only 20mins long.:)
LAST OPINION: A great contendor against photosythesis and fulfil dream which matches great british skill. A suggested must buy. So what you waitin for punk?


IDEA OF THE WEEK: A video called XtremeTeam. This contains every skateboard company's team against every other team and you get like quarter finals and other things. A great filter to find out which pro's are good. Maybe England could do better in this than the world cup.

OOoooh very good review there.

i agree that the video rocks and shows whats really happening in the british scene (that'll show 'dem amercians) And there is some sick stuff in there. (but i never saw that heelflio 13... where is it?)


Hmm, your idea sounds interesting, but is it really necisary?

If you do something like that, it would be trying to find who is the best team, then it be more like a sport. i know skating is a sport byt sports are usually popular and all the pros do it for the money.
Skateboarding pros only really do it for fun (apart from maybe muska ;)) I mean they wouldnt do the job if they didnt get payed but they would still skate.
Skating should be a thing that you do for yourself. If everyone did it to look good and get money, then it would turn into a kind of "cool sport" atrracting people who do it but dont respect what they are doing. (Kevs evrywhere...Noooo)
Sorry to jabber on like that :)

p.s. Lucas, we should get velvet to put [AKS] clan tags round our names. that way we would prevent Townies troughout the world!!!

But in theory its the same idea as Xgames torunament. Each country is competing against each other. But your points are quite valid and logical.

I think the X gaymes are getting out of hand. The jump ramps on the "street course" (when was the last time you saw a jump ramp whenyou were street skating?) Are like snowboarding jumps! Its stupid!
And the skaters in the X games arent competing for their country, just for themselves.
