Just as Mind How You Go served as a soothing reprieve from Skateboard Oscars Season™ last December, Jeff Cecere‘s This Is A Window is the comfort-viewing we all need right now. Still got a queue of S.O.T.Y. contender parts since the last Top 10 got filed, but this was an immediate click and watch-through-the-whole-way experience. (Raise your hand if there are any 4-5 minute parts from the past few months that still took two sittings to get through ✋)
Jeff & co. are in that proverbial “window” (sorry, too easy), where each video compounds in quality from the last one. Both the skating and the craftsmanship behind the video are already somehow greater than they were in the already-great Mind How You Go. It’s a phenomenon we all witnessed while watching sequential videos from Bronze, Johnny & co. and the Duplex dudes over the years — which makes it all the more fitting that pretty much all of them come together under one umbrella in this one.
Features repeat performances from Zac Gavin, Johnny Cumaoglu, Tristen Ramirez, Nate Grzechowiak and Max Maffucci + appearances from Bronze dudes (4th Dick Rizzo part in six months? Yes), Cyrus & Max, Jace Detomasso, Miles Brosz and Salomon Cardenas.
An ender down that dogshit of a hubba outside L.E.S. Park during skating-in-gloves-and-beanies season is a picture-perfect ending to a great holiday movie 👏 👏
(And is that the first clip at the remodeled Zeigfeld?)
Salomon Cardenas clips w/ sebadoh song is 10/10. Never even heard of sebadoh before this.
