Remembering GL

Damn it seems everyone is posting memories from s1 and i felt i had to talk about the biggest thing for me from skate 1,Grand Larceny. man that vid was huge, like seriously its still the longest video in skate history (for now) and it meant and still does mean alot to me. it was the second full video id ever edited and i edited 95% of the parts in it. it was like my training school fro what we would be doing later with skate 2 and soon 3 and taught me some of the most important aspect of editing i know. pacing, enhancing each person style with the edit etc. its also one of my favorite videos from both games, not just because im involved with it, but because of all the effort that went into the video. all the unique styles that complimented each other which has only gotten greater as the Fam has gotten larger. it represents why we have lasted so long and why when you think of skate Hoodlum is the team you first think about.

Its so funny watching the vid nowadays as i remember all the highlights and problems we had during making the video. i mean this vid had things im still surprised we had MeanGoon actually getting a part in it, Demz joining the family and putting together a crazy part (to the joy of Pawnluv) geeze this vid had it all and did i mention its was A FUCKING HOUR LONG! deezam. i dont know im sorry for rambling but i just enjoyed the vid and it holds a place in my heart(gay) so to celebrate you get to watch my part from the vid and if your good maybe even the full vidyah.

my remembrance to og...

online replay sessions...
6 of us on one spot...
1 after the other....
banger after banger...

it was nice to session and hear everyone go ape shit after they landed something...
its funny too cause someone would get something and we would all be in a order or attack..
immediatly after someone blurts out what he got there was this immediate sense of tension as you rolled up to a spot...
that tension was the want for aback to back sick ass doubles...
sometimes our sessions would get so out of control there would be like 4 tricks back to back that would destroy life...

everyone in the room hits start...
replay....
swappng cams to see if they could see what happened....
it was so fun to feel the gratification of a trick and having your posse right behind you while your doing it...

this later turned into magic or someone else streaming the sessions in live coffin cam...
bunch of viewers....
people calling tricks out...
its like the closest thing to a all out hoodlum family murder...
6 at the spot..
multiple viewers...
everyone halloring and hootin....
so fun..

its sad that the online replay was the reason this type of fun existed...
but again...
thats what makes it so nostalgic...
if we had it today it wouldnt be the same...
you wouldnt be able to see the details weve all learned to love because of the adv free...

its the one thing i still like about s1 besides a few spots...
destruction with your family...
in a manner that everyone could replay and enjoy...


on a personal note...
i recently disputed my favorite s1 solo so i could get it back from copyright...

1 handrail tribute...
the rawness that is a ghostface killah track...
the more eccentric fun...
and nothing but bangers....

10 min demzilla s1 solo....

enjoy...
my fifth solo i ever made...
and you might wanna watch on youtube in 480 cause I WAS FILMING THE TV WITH A CAMERA...
thats how awesome skate is...
