A Flipmode video to end the year off…

By some strange stroke of fate, Peter has concocted a video project to aid us through the first half of winter, and tallied up 2010 as the third straight year in a row of making some of the finest local multimedia available. Longer than Sognar, but shorter than Trife, Caviar has parts from Bill Piece, Pedro Garboza, and others that were largely missed from the preceding project, in addition to keeping the crew’s traditional roster (McFeely, Shawn Powers, Kevin, etc.) This may be the second time this year that Flipmode has fallen victim to video pirates, as this video seems to have been ripped from a video cassette that was originally a collage of taped evangelical daytime TV shows, Larry Johnson’s four-point play, and scenes from New Jack City. The locations in the video only fuel the fact that there are still tons of spots left in New York, all you have to do is look harder, or employ San Franciscan approaches to hillside spot discovery before you start complaining about how everything is gone. It has been a really good year for local videos.

(The video offers some ominous hints at the Billy Lynch disappearance mystery, but no clear solutions. What is it with Long Island and the perpetual vanishing of its skateboard-riding residents?)

Features Rob Gonyon, Shawn Powers, Pedro Garboza, Kevin Tierney, Bill Pierce, Luis Tolentino, Patrick Murray, Joseph Delgado, Danny Falla, Jamel Marshall, Dylan James, Mike Burch, Amadeus Estrada, Xavier Veal, Derick Ziemkiewicz, Phil Rodriguez, and Billy McFeely.

  2. some decent skating and the filming was good but the concept is fucking horrible, so so pretentious

  7. These guys suck and are extremely overrated. Also, they aren’t funny and i’ve seen much better work. Props to the director, but everyone else can eat shit.

  10. @james kelch.
    1. your not james kelch
    2. watch a 30 second.HD josia gatyln commercial if this concept is too flashy, overdone, flamboyant, or exaggerated for you.

    @ Find Out. its all about location boy, these men make things happen where logic says it shouldn’t work. you’ll never ‘find out’ though, because you wax skateparks

  12. that made Film me and Goin ham look maaaad pussy. niggas is really from the hood

  18. phil rodriguez is the fucking shit why ain’t that nigga been in previous flipmode videos

  22. for something that was filmed in 2010, shawn powers’ line @6:21 in the first video felt REALLY timeless. what a perfect 808 drum to push ratio.

  27. leo gutman has been skating he just lives all the way out in shaolin so its a hassel for him to get out here. if you wana see a leo part leo and peter need to start chillin more.

  32. Does this website ever give credit to skateboarders NOT from new york? It wouldnt kill you to compliment someone from the west you know. Seeing how thats the capital of skateboarding and all………Sure your spots look cool but shit

  33. this site definetly mentions outof towners all the time. you cant comprehend the videos your commenting on because your not from here and you dont get it.
    { NYC video = NYC locals }.
    how is the west the capital of skateboarding when your on an Eastcoast website crying about how you dont get complimented enough… you soft

  35. Uhh. My favorite skateboarder is Mike Carroll, my favorite video was made by Girl, my favorite company right now is Real, and I interviewed Alex Olson a few weeks ago. You are aware that there are plenty of non-niche websites like this one that deal with skateboarding at large, right?

  36. I didnt mean to sound like i was hating, i like this site. But i just think it would be cool if you guys switched it up every now n then to give a east coast perspective on something that’s not the east coast, that’s all.

    And I GET it. I have skated nyc dc and philly before, but you guys arent the only ones who have to deal with sketchy spots, they’re everywhere don’t be fooled.

    Later

  37. X Veal Patty= Swag Swag Swag Swag SwaG
    Woop Woop Woop Woop Woop

    Hoes on Peter’s dick cuz he looks like Asher Roth

  42. how can niggas compare this to those film me videos? this shit is 1000000000000000000 times better. almost no hipster shit in this. FLIPMODE is beast!

  44. i would say this video can hold a candle to any skateboard related media out of new jersey, this would be the first time in a long time.

  46. shawn should’ve slapped that thick thigh hipster slut on the ass when he passed her in his first line

  51. NEED THIS ON DVD.

    Shawn Powers’ parts just get worse and worse but he’s still fun to watch. Everything about this video is great!

  54. he did fakie flip over a bench! I like most of his footage but sometimes it seems like he’s trying just a bit too hard. The fakie flip sticks out though. Apologies for the disrespect. This one will be on repeat (on fucking youtube!) for a while.

  60. doood that video was so fucking D00PE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  63. yo Snack you should try to get this shit on skateboardmag or thrasher ‘s sites. let all these niggas know

  66. wax skateparks.. hah.. classic.

    billy lynch’s part was the best. He’ll be crushing it well after he stops skating. In the same way that 2pac and biggie put out more albums dead than alive.

    I could see powers pulling a lenny kirk well before he does a matt reason.

    skateboarders not from new york? never heard of them.

  69. damn phil wasnt even that cool with the crew until joey like shared his part with him now joeys out and phils in like wtf
