Fasen Scooters | The Brendon Smith Video

[Madis]

Can't really believe I watched 12 minutes of trick spamming myself in one go. I only digged the first clip, nosemanny bri and the nofoot deckgrab to no-handed front scooterflip at 3:46. Those came out of nowhere. Everything else seemed repetitive... although did he ever did a same combo? I challenge anyone to write down all the combos he landed and find out if anyone of them repeated throughout the video, hahah.

 

[Kyle]

I can't hate on something this gnarly. Sorry guys.

 

[Hep Greg]

he definately did a bar bar invert/turndown more than once.

End of the first song, and so far no lines. None. All just single clips. That's not good.
Only trick I enjoyed so far was the figure 8 across the channel.

EDIT 1: nvm on the beginning of the kanye song one line. Really creative no-handed front scooter flip too. Not bad.

EDIT 2: mmm dat nose manny to bri

EDIT 3: combo at 5:21 isn't bad either

EDIT 4: Briwhip to icepick to dub whip. I feel like he's going to do a briwhip to icepick to inward/buttercup later. Predictable razor filming is no fun.

EDIT 5: Bar to back smith to bri. If he can do this, why can't he do other stuff like this instead of quint whips in quarter airs?

FINAL EDIT (I think): Overall, I didn't enjoy it. I enjoyed some clips, but really sketchy landings (sideways and flat, come on) and too many single clips. Australia has beautiful parks, and it's a shame to see them being used incorrectly. The sad thing is, I know he has the talent and skill to shred, but he doesn't. He simply stays in his own "genre" of tricks and never branches out toward better things.

And I was wrong about the icepick.

 

[A-Brad]

I couldn't agree more with the above comments (great tricks but soo repetitive even for fellow riders which I think is saying a lot).

Not to take away from how talented he is and the time/effort that was involved here.

I'd rather watch a 3:30 street video with some unique SPOTS/tricks that are not as "hard".

Have to say mad props though Brendon keep up the craziness dude you are nasty.

 

[.Gerrit]

Also, I'm digging the flying squirrel combos. I might attempt to get a trick list of this video tomorrow, it'll take me awhile.

 

[Nate Grant]

Got so boring by the end of it.

Can't argue with double deck grab to bri air, finger finger finger air, nose manny bri, and my personal favorite, the 540 fingerwhip air. Could have been 2 minutes and it would have had the same exact effect.

 

[Frank T]

half way through it now, took a snack break
nose manny bri was too sick and so was 3x finger air

Edit 1: almost done. 360 finger down the set was nuts, and ive been waiting to see a 360 superman for a while
oh and UHHH HEYYYEYYY

 

[Rob.]

watched the whole thing and i'm so glad i did.
Cannonball to bri air made me shit bricks
the whole video was amazing.

@Boo, maybe he enjoys doing crazy combos on quarters more than riding other things?

 

[Bear Grylls]

This is so filthy i switched to porn when my mom walked in because it would be easier to explain

but its not street so i guess i hate it because that makes me cool like the rest of you guys right?

 

[Dallen.]

^ exactly about it not being street

12 minutes was wayyyyy too long, by like 7 or 8 minutes I gave up on trying to name the tricks and it got soooooo boring, however there was some absolutely crazy business in here, like the nosemanny bri and the cannonball to no-handed frontscooter. But what ruined it most for me was the fact that the whole video was on like 10 different obstacles, like there was at least 15-20 tricks on that big metal halfpipe and the same over the box at The Shed. Also the sketchy landings to flat in the transition and the overall awkward style really put me off the whole video.

 

[issac p]

brendon is really good but i found this really boring. i zoned out a few times while watching this. ever trick seemed the same except for like 5 tricks.

 

[Jamie Gantz]

Absolutely no spot variety, a person could count on both hands the number of different spots he filmed at. That's pretty bad for a twelve minute part. The tricks take a shitload of talent of course, but only a few tricks stood out to me. 360 fingerwhip down a set is something I have never seen and it was sick, I also dug the 360 handplant to bar. Brendon fucking SHREDS but he definitely could have cut down the length of this video and use much more variety in spots.

 

[travismini]

Im so glad he didnt land flat on every trick and ride the same ramps for 12 minutes.

but on a serious note, he is insane like fasen only came out what a year ago, and he stacked 12 minutes of footage that is pretty much all insane 300 trick combos. Also he could have repeated tricks over and over and i wouldnt have noticed or cared.

 

[JCott]

soo much trick spamming. i felt like i just replayed the same video over like 4 times. out of the 12 minutes i watched there were only a few times where i thought a trick was cool (not one of those times did he do inverts, eight whips, bars bar bars, or a cluster fuck of combos)

 

[Grant Schofield]

it wasnt that hard to get through i got through it first T, idk towards the end it was mind numbing, i wasnt really intrested, but i didnt want to exit out,

 

[CoryR]

i think Matty Ceravolo says this the best.
"Dear inside scooters and everybody commenting negative shit about Brendon's video.
I hope all you guys realize that Brendon and every other rider you always hang shit on are the ones actually pushing the sport while you guys are sitting behind your computers bitching like complete ------s. I use to look up to all them American guys so much when my video first got posted on their website. Now all they seem to do is bitch over shit they couldn't accomplish if their lives depended on it. I don't see any of you guys running your own companies that people actually give a shit about. Haha. ------s. Couldn't care how much you guys hate me and every other AUS rider."

 

[Grant Schofield]

Does that guy own a company?
