DEFINE. Behind the Missions Episode 2. Ender Season

On episode 2 of DEFINE. Behind the Missions, we look back at what went into Tre's epic bigspin battle, and a rare case of Spencer going back to the same spot twice in one day while also filming a different trick in between. Miles revisits Stanford hubba after almost 8 years of not skating it, and Tiago with a spur-of-the-monent switch back tail while having to deal with the conditions of a busy pier in San Francisco.

Like a lot of things in life when we only see the final delivered version of it, we often have no idea of all the massive efforts and dedication that was put in behind the curtains.

Amen🙏🏿 blood, sweat or tears

[@ELKF91]

Big facts!

[@derfmode]

It’s easy for kids to to forget that, when they make it all look so easy

[@Makabert.Abylon]

Like, like like 👍🏻

[@EastsideDonkey]

I could watch these videos for days. The editors kill it on these BTM episodes

[@phatcap45]

on god

[@geeswank]

tiago's shifty switch flip god damn i love skateboarding

[@erickfelipe]

Tiago é foda, pop absurdo, representa o Brasil com esse sorrisão no rosto sempre e a energia infinita pra acertar qualquer manobra.

[@danielmattar]

I run by that ledge almost every day, always picture how crazy it is to imagine going for that sbsts. Tiago is the man.

[@Flips2Clips]

These episodes are the best. Love how theres always a story behind every trick. Allon Hannon is great at capturing the process of what went down before getting the clip. Respect to Primitive theyre a huge inspiration to me as a skate videographer

[@Noobdudebro]

I love raw edits and seeing attempts. It really does show a lot about the person and the blood sweat and tears that come with it. Skateboarding is pure dedication

[@drippyscratchcat]

EVERY one of these tricks are beyond amazing!! Tiago....wow.....switch....insane.

[@bretk5365]

5:18 jumping down a gap that big and just landing on your feet like nothing is so insane to me

[@Nytr8]

Kinda wish they let Tiago speak his language with subtitles. It would be nice to know what was going thru his mind than someone else’s perspective.

[@Dontbustthecrust]

Agreed

If i dont hear a thousand “like” its all good

[@daymarumo4216]

Filming a part is hard work & fun at the same time

[@RuinYourDayNow]

the switch flip 50 by miles is fucking IN.SANE. Primitive is above all in video content imo, i LOVE the style. keep it up bros!

[@shinda_shima]

Tiago's second to last switch back T with the shifty flip was steezier than the perfect one...both great tho. That one shows the energy of the session.

[@ScharfeSalami]

Not only that Tiago has enough pop to jump switch backtail on that... but that he has enough power to pop that high over and over and over and over and over again, jeeeesus xDDD

[@edusk824]

Bro that last Tiago’s sw kickflip was ridiculous

[@5olas]

Pure Primitive fire. Keep the flames coming! 🔥🛹🔥

[@danielwellner7004]

Primitive is on top of the Skateboard food chain in so many ways, including their content game.

Love these Paul !!!

[@RealSkateStories]

These breakdowns capture the true essence of the battle. BRAVO! 🆙🆙🔥🔥

[@samaxeman123]

Not only the sickest skate team but also the sickest skate video production out

[@Flips2Clips]

So true. The filmers and editors of the video create the final product for people to watch but often dont get the credit they should

[@RogerG92]

love this series . real deep thought . takes you into the inside / personality of the skater. really resonates ! keep it up shits exactly what we need

[@dirtyp.132]

This lil series rules

[@chrisstretch1]

Love these stories 👍

[@DoObs]

There is nothing wrong with that man...people like skateboarders are so close....and they are the best friends anyone can ever have. I miss those days. And don't have those days anymore.

that sw back tail is miles beyond

[@84vietskater]

That switch back tail those ledges are nuts to do that trick on!! Lol fuck

[@brandonritchie106]

We need one on the Carlos Clipper switch back nose blunt, idk why but it seemed like it was the first few tries, that to me is just as gnarly as a battle, because some of these spots are gnarly to do it in a few tries is just as gnarly to me

[@Skateboardfreakist]

oh yeah switch bs noseblunt would be sivk

just came down to SF from Wisconsin and saw the ledge that Tiago switch back tailed. I’m in disbelief

[@carlitos3105]

craizy moment

[@mikearts6836]

I could be a killer skate manager because i could level the risk for reward easy. That trick was NUTTS but even a simple back 180 or 180 flip would be just as legit. Same you health and energy.

Spencer Hamilton is the Hood version of Ben Degros

[@LushiTV]

His timing getting used to a new shape and the angle all made that a nightmare. I had the same thing recently just trying to backside flip up a euro with a new shape. Couldn't carve in backside correctly like that.

Safely bailing the switch flip 50 with one foot on that tall ass hubba is a trick in of itself. Yikes

We gotta stop using "like" as punctuation, or as a space filler between statements. It's really poor english, we sound like idiots, like.

This could be the most extreme case of that I've ever seen. I wonder what percentage of his words are like. Edit: I started this video and had to skip through because of that, and the next thing I clicked on Miles and he's doing it too. I can't watch this video.
