Classics: Daewon Song's "Round III" Part

[@studderboxx5488]

I was lucky enough to actually meet daewon maybe 10 years ago when I was working at mcdonalds in LA Habra. It was pretty insane getting starstruck'd in drive thru. For being one of the greatest skaters on the planet, this dude was super laid back and chill. He told me he'd bring some stuff with him the next time he came thru, and believe it or not a week later he actually kept his word and came to my work. Not only did he lace me up with a gang of shit, but he actually knew my name... me and Daewon on a name to name basis. Never forget that Daewon. KEEP PUSHIN

[@RollingShutter]

dope story

[@ianm3244]

I used to go to liberty boardshop in brea and he’d be chillin with the guys skating in the parking lot. Daewon is the man!

[@seymourglass26]

With a name like "Studder," I don't know how he could forget ya. But all jokes aside, great story.

[@flux_time]

Hes one of the few guys i see on instagram actually talking to people in the comments everywhere all around great guy, same with Rodney. Overall, Almost was great in those days and i loved it, growing up to this

[@refoliation]

[@aquinn23]

One of the most inspirational videos of my childhood! We don't forget!

[@LuisMora]

Such a damn good part! Insane even for today's standards!

[@justinedwards6117]

It’s 5 years later now and it’s still an Insane part.

[@SkateboardingMotivator]

Facts!

[@jbean9021]

Still holds up

[@JarthenGreenmeadow]

Go check Rodney's part III, that skating will never be topped. Its unreal.

[@josueknox5833]

Instablaster...

[@Sadboyhours96]

Almost Round 3 never gets old, great music, great skaters, great everything!

[@unicron24]

Cuz it's not old,, it wasent too long ago,, and people are still trying to advance past the dayone Mullen machine...

[@elementsk84life1]

Chrisvelasco it's over 10 years old... That's along time, especially from skateboardings standpoint. There are not too many parts that are 10+ years old that can hold up with current day skate parts, but this one definitely does though.

[@unicron24]

So true.

[@thediylocksmith]

@@unicron24 I was 12 when I first saw this video. I am about to be 28. That was a long ass time ago unfortunately :(

[@nightpandas7178]

Dude seriously, Haslam, Sheckler, Mullen, Song? Come on

[@zachstaeven9232]

That was insane, I have been out of the scene for like 20 years and it’s good to know the OG stuff still holds up. Daewon Song was always one of my favorites, his control and command of the board are incredible!

[@Zeegum]

When I first saw this it was amazing . and now that I see it again it is still amazing

[@Ayo_2short]

brings back memoriessssss... used to watch this everyday after school

[@thecraigpaul6799]

Ayo_2short same here

[@punkrockpirate08]

A cover band played this song last night at the pub and I instantly thought about this vid. Now I am here, hungover and crying to this beautiful part.

[@19rayrayray90]

This is single-handedly the best skatevideo part ever made in human history. The tricks, the song, the setup, and the legend himself.

[@full6330name]

Daewon Song reached a level of skateboarding that has yet to be touched by any other skateboarder. I'm not overreacting. That is just a fact.

[@my_name_is_betty283]

[@847MicRoss]

EllisFrost, poopunicycle ?

[@pauldavis7903]

Still a fucking fact.

[@ScareyW]

the tre lip over the truck gap is unbelievable

[@Austinn801]

That ender is still holds up as being one of the sickest in skating history in my opinion. Treyflip noseblunt down a slanted table to manny on a slanted box, from a fucking cargo container. That shit is so dope.

[@Ragtags]

It is true most shocked of have ever been watching a skateboarding trick. It sounds like Rodney Mullen's voice in the background too "Oh my god"

[@mattimaranda9638]

Sick, but he didn't lock into the edge of the table like a proper noseblunt. He was on top of the table, you can tell by the filmers' angles.

[@youcrazyjesues]

The tech, flow and straight balls to do some of these tricks will make this my favorite part ever. The music gives me chills with how well it goes with his part. 10/10 part

[@cristhianalexander2252]

Inspirational part of this legend, a piece of skateboarding history

[@JasonPatrick-tj4xj]

Every detail of this video was amazing. I'm age 44. I'll be skating this summer. Lots of snow right now. Hello from Canada. I was a kid skating in California when Daewon was young

[@seanfernandez6133]

I'm 26, I stopped skating when I was about 20 because of college. But when I did skate, I skated manual pads more than my group of friends. This part has so much more meaning to me now. It is the epitome of true mindfulness, where there is no ego, not a competition but personal satisfaction. I remember when reading skateboarding magazines (every night before bed) pros would always say "have fun" and "love skateboarding" is the way to be pro. Learning to skate manual pads taught me how to really set your ego aside and just feel. Your ego will start out by lashing out with pure frustration and it isn't until you realize that there's another part of your being that arises when you simply believe that you can do it. It's like frustration wants outcome so bad that another part of your brain awakens and frustration dies and turns into patience and awareness 🤣. Almost surreal. It's like enlightenment but when you reach it, it feels like whatever, cool, next trick. And then I carried that mindset with me to everything. For years of working I lost it. Don't ever let anyone or any situation get into your head - let go of how you feel and focus on discerning between what is and what is perceived. Once you get into this state, dont take it for granted. It is the most important thing and people will try to take that away from you. Watching this part again makes me feel "zen", and it eases my soul.

[@HOTRODRICO]

dam bro epic comment

[@BeastModeSteez]

Till this day still one of my fucking favorite skate DVDs to watch 👏🏾

[@JimmyJKwon]

I watched this part again today and is still sic like after 18 years! Definitely a timeless classic!

[@lekolega]

Daewon is truly one of a kind. Skateboarding has evolved so much from the time this was filmed, but after all these years, this part still blows minds and can't be contested by anyone. Crazy. Timeless.

[@antoinehennard897]

One of the best skateboard footage of the 2000's , Daewon is such an inspiration for me !Thanks for all your creativity !

[@mattsowellmusic]

Just incredible! Anyone giving this a thumbs down is jealous. They will never be the skater Daewon is.

[@chappingcleeks76]

There's no such thing as coincidence. This part speaks to my soul. From the shots to the music and every line.

[@jorgesamacho9798]

Makes me feel old if round 3 is a classic lol

[@AngrySkateNerd]

Jordan Baughman are you forgetting stay gold has a classic video?

[@Fmgangbanger]

Jordan Baughman i think it is more of a term of reference just because it is a heavily referred to part or it is just down to their sheer wow factor and inspirational and production values rather then of its age..but regardless yeah i hear that!

[@trentonfrays1178]

I feel ya...... I'm old as hell. Lol.

[@0finale]

+Lew Matic classic means exactly what it means man that's that

[@vasco3152]

+Jordan Baughman right! so crazy this came out 13 years ago. i was 12 lol

[@OGWonkavisionHD]

The first time I saw this over a decade ago and it still blows my mind…

[@TooterBear23]

Same bro

[@Gohxx]

Ik this is weird but this came out I think when I was like 5 or 6 and I would watch it every single night before I went to sleep sadly I stopped skateboarding at like 13 but I am 16 now and I just bought my first skateboarding shoes in like 4 years and it feels good to be back

[@4internacional]

Love it, one of the must influential videos in Mexico back in 05, It showed us that you could skate something else than handrails, our first look to creative skating. We used even to nerd out in the soundtrack

[@lFaceless]

The only man i've ever seen completely re-adjust his feet mid-manuel. legends never die.

[@19AGJ86]

Mullen does it too.

[@canuckdude22]

and conversely, 2:32 his feet don't move at all. so stylish.

[@loolou]

This takes me back to my teenage years. I always tried to replicate his style when I used to skate. Amazing how this video still holds up to this day.

[@Unlockingparadoxes]

Even to this day this video is mind-blowing to me every single time i watch it. It is a timeless video and i believe alot of the stuff will never be replicated.

[@Unlockingparadoxes]

Daewon song is a living legend and a huge inspiration to me and countless others. We love you thank you for your contribution to skateboarding.

[@dontcallmegus]

The catch/twist at 3:35 is one of the best things I've ever seen in all of skateboarding. There is so much confidence in that catch it's unreal.

[@Bromega30]

He skates just like a video game

[@OoWhiteStaroO]

THIS! Its a fuking pro skater 2 character. xD

[@gpaccentertainment2918]

So underrated. This should have had 10 million views

[@lassewilke1993]

ohhh the good ol dayz... das war mein Nummer1 Motivationsvideo zu der Zeit!

[@wikedwun]

How does one even think of these combinations🤯🤯🤯

[@Shannonkellysk81111]

Daewon completely inspired how I skate to this day! Manny pads and ledges are my go-to’s🙏🏾🫡

[@fackingcopyrights]

I still have the dvd. Bought it at a contest without knowing what it was. Best outcome ever. Still one of the best skateboarding movies ever made.

[@KadirKucuk]

was he born doing manuals?

[@ProjectASkate]

probably he was doing a manual outta the womb.

[@salokin2726]

He was born during manuals

[@alexfriedman2047]

Koreans are freakin good at everything lol

[@nightpandas7178]

To this day modern skaters can't do what Daewon did in this part. The dude is an absolute legend

[@lysaai]

That applies to all of Round 3. Both Mullens part and Daewons part. There are things in both parts that literally havent been done since except that one dude whose mission is to recreate all of Mullens round 3 tricks.

[@RodneyNicotine]

Talk about a feel good part. I could be in the shittiest mood ever and watch this and by the end of it have a smile from ear to ear. Daewon is love Daewon is life❤️

[@cleberslima1]

This video part will surely be immortalized in the history of skateboarding as one of the best. Daewon the legend.

[@tmoney0212]

Whose watching this while on quarantine? What a classic gives me chills everytime and i get emotional lol

[@PotatoPlop]

First full length skate video I owned/watched. 3:11 still blows my mind.

[@kevintesher1374]

PotatoPlop same, favorite one in his part

[@SablanSk8ing]

PotatoPlop One of those videos you watch and rewatched as a kid.

[@thehoror01]

This part came out over 15 years ago and so many of the tricks still seem impossible 🤯

people still baffled by Daewon in 2116

Still baffled in 2019

2020 it continues lol

[@brandonritchie106]

Wow brings back such good memories, between him Rodney and Haslam, this video was really the best!

[@VeeCee1994]

First saw this video about 10 years ago when I started skating. I'm 21 years old now & this is still in my top 3 fav. videos of all time.. Daewon kills it!

[@thecraigpaul6799]

Not other skater has yet reached this level os skating!!! I don’t think there will ever do

[@AndrewLykins44]

This brings me back to when I was 11 years old. One of my favorite video parts ever!

[@djanigav]

How can you not like this part. 100% classic.

[@simonvidlund4077]

I will never forget this part!

[@lowbam93]

Almost round 3 is one of the best skate videos I've ever seen. Nice to see it here!

[@Ryker_One]

Even the camera guy was scared for daewon in the last trick. You can hear it in his voice. So gnarly.

[@tommead5948]

That camera guy was Mullen himself!

[@MartiansSkateKrew]

@Mr Mead wow you're right! I didn't even notice until you pointed it out

[@JTab6669]

Best Video Part Ever

[@brandonritchie106]

When the killers start saying, " I got soul, but I'm not a soldier" this nostalgic feeling runs through my body, the chills man this video was more then just a skate video to me, any person that loves skating knows this feeling

[@jesusmejia3910]

Wow. Absolutely amazing

[@davidlapointe6016]

Even if Daewon's skills are out of this world, there is a feeling of unpretentiousness in every parts he ever recorded. And that is somehow truly amazing.

[@MrGettinBuckwild]

Thank you thrasher for uploading this part with the original song

[@TeodorKuhn]

imagine this at the premiere. i would have screamed my lungs out!

[@chemtrail2269]

I could watch Daewon, Haslam, and Koston dork around for hours

[@Gonnzo]

omfg i cant even comprehend most of the tricks hes doing crazy af

[@dvoss195]

11 years ago.... and hes still killin it today

[@jrodagormykid9063]

Daewon is the truth on a skateboard! Mind = blown, just like every other time I watch this absolute classic.

[@MarsCantFeed]

I've probably watched this part more than any other video. Growing up this was my bible lol. I have other favorites now, but this will always be the part that got me truly stoked on trying to push myself for the first time. So sick.

[@OoWhiteStaroO]

Everyday was daewon part day...Even the music is the best off all the skaters.

[@dameat9932]

One of my all time favorite parts....where the Mullen parts at tho???..I will randomly remember something about skating from when I was younger then go find the video part on KZbin...& miss those carefree days tremendously...ahh those were the days...

[@itsOrba]

this is insane!

[@pillcosby777]

Trickshot orba? Damn I watch your vids

[@ProjectASkate]

Lemao, a degenerate group.

[@Iawnmate]

Ayyyy didn’t know you skate

[@satin360]

A..a gamer?

[@idontcare2851]

This is classic

[@MartinKohoutekchannel]

I think this only gets better with time, because only now many of us realise how insane that was! I couldn't comprehend it properly when I was a kid. Nevertheless I was blown away every time I watch it (and I saw this like a million times :D )

[@j897xce]

I didnt know what I was watching back then. It was just a sick skate video. It has aged so well! Wow.

[@nickferry7796]

Such a beautiful part. Thank you for this masterpiece Daewon 🙏🏻

[@HAYDNBBH]

First skae vid i ever wtahced when i was 12, this part is so sick, the music, the tricks and gaps at the time were insane, getting goosbumps watching this

[@robertbaker3620]

This damn near brings me to tears every time I watch it, and honestly its the manual tre nose manual on the same pad. Idk. The way he flings that tre and barely lands in a nose manual... Incredible.

[@chillard3913]

I’m so excited to watch this part for the first time in at least ten years

[@Chrispyy__]

Such a classic. I remember watching this in high school

[@thebigcheese5114]

[@bradensmith661]

This whole video is a classic

[@iamkool12342]

God I've never been so nervous watching a skate video. All those rooftop gaps like come on man. I was cringing so hard at the back tail and kick front board on the truck to truck rail gap, that could have gone wrong so many different ways

[@brandonmeade9606]

so much could have gone wrong on the back tail if i dont lock in its death

[@icantollie]

2:00: The 18-wheeler transporting the “Hyundai” shipping container in sync with Daewon is one of the most iconic moments from Song’s _Almost: Round 3_ part; Hyundai is a South Korean industrial manufacturing group whose name (현대) means “modern” in Korean, and the trailer’s timing the logo to flash by behind Daewon in perfect sync like a massive Times Square digital billboard is the universe’s way of photobombing Song’s part to advertise to the world, “this is the new sh!t” :P Also, I love the shot that Daewon’s part opens with; your first thought when you see his board fall dozens of feet and suddenly realize how dangerous the spot is, is, “the f⋃⊂к is he doing here”; which basically gives you a heads-up that, well yeah that’s pretty much what the rest of his part is going to be like xD Mullen, Song, Haslam…the skating, the backing tracks, the editing…my favorite skate video of all time 👍

[@yepimontv3764]

greatest skateboarder of all time, hands down.

Rodney Mullen may be the godfather, but no one has a better style then Daewon Song. His 360 flips are God.

[@Ilovesl33ping]

totally. I think the only thing that can provide world peace, are his tre flips.

[@TheDoughnut22]

Best video part ever.

[@H1JOSH1]

Superior in the fecal sense, perhaps. But not in the urinary.

[@elijahschaller8705]

Facts. There’s a reason there’s only ever been Rodney Vs Daewon. Taking gnar out of the question. And it comes to precision, skill, control. Daewon is the only on e that could even come close to Being better than The Godfather. The last clip... and all the truck clips. Taking gnar back into the question. He a psycho! Equivalent to the standards of what gnar is even considered to this day

[@marco77ar]

You know it's so dope, because it's way better than the actual video for this song.✌️🤙👍

[@HOTRODRICO]

trailer to trailer at night was pure insanity... D. Song is so good its literally inspiring and defeating at the same time knowing I will NEVER come close to how good he is lol
