Dennis Busenitz's "Up To Speed" Documentary

[@KellyWakasa]

I could watch Busenitz footage all day

[@MartinKohoutekchannel]

I'm in love with the fact we can watch amazing things like this just for free! Thank you! It was awesome to see and learn something more about Dennis!

[@obscureclouds8392]

The key to his skateboarding style is total confidence in everything he skates. He skates full power without fear because he exactly knows how the board is going to react. The board never does unexpected things. When jumps he knows how it feels and what is going to happen. This is why, to me, he is the best skateboarder of all times.

[@Nediler]

Dennis is the fucking man! A complete all around skater. Love his speed, love his style. So glad he skates Adidas

[@davidlapointe6016]

All in all, you are not supposed to give a shit for whatever brand he skates. The commercial aspect of this sport is way more important than it should be.

[@Nediler]

There is no rules in skateboarding

[@leviathanrising9763]

its an art form, so its technique and form, its what looks good, its got strict rules. clowns think otherwise.

[@toynazi]

All in all. ITS NOT A FUCKING SPORT! It's a lifestyle! There are people who skate. Then there are skateboarders! The people who skate fade away in time.

[@HorTyS]

the rules aren't strict though, and "what looks good" changes from person to person. It's about perspective. Skateboarding is so much about individual expression with so many different forms and techniques that what you're saying i feel like is very inaccurate. if the rules were strict on form & technique, there would not be different types of style and everyone would do every trick the same way. as it is now, you're never going to confuse busenitz with torey pudwill or something for example. 2 very different styles...

[@Dontbemad1]

He is one of the greatest n in my opinion the best pro sneaker ever

[@Jeromeovision]

i can watch him skate for days nonstop! 13:50 mins of dennis is not enough! i demand more!!!

[@groovefretboard]

watch his skating in slomo and it still looks regular speed lol

[@benjigarcia7441]

Always a favorite but it really says a lot when you get praise like that from the LEGEND, Ricky Oyola!!

[@abuhaneefa7422]

Benji Garcia earning that east coast recognition

[@DaCocoNutMan]

I've always had a massive amount of respect for Ricky Oyola, and his part in Eastern Exposure 3, given I was pretty much born when that video came out('96), it will forever be one of my favorite video parts. And the fact that Ricky has respect and love for Busenitz like that, makes it even more fucking rad!

[@JayDizz92]

he's one of those guys like Janoski, he's your favourite skaters favourite skater :)

[@DorienKalifornia]

Besides Porsche, Audi, Mercedes and BMW...Dennis may be the greatest thing out of Germany

[@Tausendsasser]

You forgot Asperin (Bayer AG) and Adidas

[@satcheldockry]

BMW isn't Germany. But don't forget Volkswagen!

[@onlytiesto1]

yeah is from germany Fundation: 7 de march of 1916, Múnich, Alemania..

[@robolinoschmidt8676]

satcheldockry sure BMW is German...

[@opaschmockyyy7295]

@@satcheldockry it is BMW stands for "Bayrische Motorenwerke"

[@baker3person]

love this dude. proof that hard work and being a good person pays off

[@SWVIDS01]

I started skating in 2011 and Dennis was my first favourite skater, he inspired me alot. Het still is one of my favourites!

[@FrackaLacka]

skateboring I started a year or two before that and it’s same story for me!

[@michaelswanson6677]

Thrasher, dude, thank you so much.. Dennis is one of my favorites for the obvious reasons.. speed, style, nasty pop and super tech !! Cheers Dennis !!

[@BierBrille]

"Mary, Mary Swommy, Swammy... Samsonite! I was way off!!"

[@DIGITLRIZZ]

Watching him skate in person is a TRIP.

[@Rufusdos]

Can you comment on Dennis’s height? From the footage he looks kind of averGe sized, but he’s listed online as 6’ 10” or 204cm!!

[@DIGITLRIZZ]

@@Rufusdos No fkn way. he is maybe 5'10" .

[@Rufusdos]

@@DIGITLRIZZ That's what I thought. Cheers. Try googling Dennis Busenitz height, all you get is nonsense!

[@youpoopedyourtube6075]

"The person skating and the type of skater they are, leads them to a certain place" legendary comment.

[@folkskateboards]

This made me so , damn, happy!! What a bloody Godsend.

[@alexmullen1742]

This made me smile too much.

[@2B87]

Dennis, down to earth und mächtige Eier. Hammer sympatische Kombi. Ich liebe den Typ! Rock on Dennis!!!

[@brianthefuckinglion2]

Busenitz Always gets me stoked to skate!!!

[@PaPWPW]

Definitely one of the best ive seen

[@cz9555]

Diese Geschichte ist unglaublich, sie zeigt das nicht nur amerikanische Skater das Potenzial haben um irgendwann riesig zu werden!!!

[@2B87]

I had to leave another one... I enjoyed this soo much, thanks Trasher !!!!

[@christiandegraaf2890]

.." do you remember at what point, going faster felt better for you". 9:40 This is when the content of this video really sunk in for me. Definite ripper that I didnt know much about until the Thrasher cover

[@implosionsinapie]

It's hard to even think of skateboarders that skate as freely as he does while absolutely crushing. On top of that, watching him skate flat feels like a revelation. He's one of the best flatground skaters of all time and he's always booking it. It takes something special for someone to blow you away without even skating a spot or a park or anything at all.

[@neillang1756]

that hippy jump around the pole was astronomical 💪😎 even had Daewon explaining how it went' priceless bro,,, DB' awesomeness

[@tonyplascencia9390]

Neil Lang he did it right as I read that

[@alpineflauge909]

this is pure gold! hall of fame episode/edit. thank you

[@SDF5150]

I met this guy back in 2000 at a Volcom skate demo in Lawrence Kansas. Nobody even knew who he was and here I was just chillin with him. I was in the 6th grade.

[@84vietskater]

Who remember boarderline in wichita Ks!! I remember seeing him for the first time in the late 90s in Ks. He was the Germanator lol that what we would call him dude was so good he would three flip to flat it was beautiful!! This was before he was pro!! I have so much respect for this dude!! One of my favorite!!

[@Thrasher360]

His Roll Forever part is Awesome,i like how he bombs the hill at the end.

[@robolinoschmidt8676]

Great as always thrasher!

[@nico.k2000]

greatest hits part, life wire part, away days part and a whole documentary .. looks good for you dennis!! hope to see him win soty this year!!

[@MarcosKedor]

favorite skater by far

[@00010075]

Busenitz shoulda got SOTY several times in the past. the dude consistently rips. having the speed makes it better. gets played out seeing pros do their lines slow af.

[@scrawnybuddha9039]

who would dislike a legend

[@charlesmendezg4584]

Wow that was amazing, thanks Thrasher! You guys never disappoint

[@ovidiumckay4566]

Roll forever bro ! All time favorite skater, him & Lem V. Also on adidas team.

[@saulf.4678]

Always been one of my favorites for fucking sure, he's a beast!

[@Scrootumm]

Man when this dude started to get recognized i swear every damn skater wanted to do high speed kickflips down the street.

[@FrackaLacka]

Scrootumm when I first started around 2010 as an 11 year old, I only wanted Real boards and Adidas because of him lmao

[@theneovas1]

Song at 2:40 is "Time" by Ty Segall and White Fence

[@ianbruce9960]

this was awesome. Dennis has been a force for so long. him or evan smith for soty

[@donny4182]

Dude has an amazing flow

[@502jackal]

this dude made it clear to me going fast and skating was the shit. even with all the scrapes and bruises im down. dennis is a monster

[@supernewuser]

One of the greatest.

[@toynazi]

German engineering at it's finest!

[@Street_79_]

[@bvdatech1]

[@callumgoddard6700]

[@ojhemmiez]

[@KENKANIFF666]

damn, i wish this was longer

[@Mike-xi4wt]

Still a fun skateboarder to watch since I first saw him in the Real to Reel video

[@RelicswithAlex]

very cool doc

[@timothedino9766]

now im fucking motivated to go out skating, great video, great person !

[@BrunoCostaBarreto]

Você já viu Dennis andando de ''base normal'' como um ninja , em ''transições'' ele é um dos grandes, de ''switch stance'' ninguém te tanta habilidade e fluidez , de ''fakie'' quero ver ter um, que ande tão , tecnicamente. Projetista incrível .

[@jacobmaul5751]

Damn that was sick!!!!!!!!!

[@wilkatron]

Without a doubt he is the best skater ever. EVER!!

[@shanemarvel5761]

One of my favorites beast

[@unlikeportraits4099]

Ich liebe Dennis Busenitz.

[@andrevitoriasilva7726]

RJ sempre presente show muito bom pô manda um kit pra mim no Brasil

[@skateboarderowned9163]

Really underrated skater

[@skrekk]

Fucking legend right here.

[@3isnotaletter]

am I wrong or was there a Real or Thunder ad which had a mop bucket (kinda like the Propagandi album cover) and an orange background saying Dennis Buckets years ago

[@chriscornish4128]

amazing

[@TheShelf]

They're really going all out to get him SOTY.

[@Nediler]

Hopefully, he deserves it. Evan smith & Kyle Walker are good contestants as well i think

[@tonysanches3545]

Nediler and figgy

[@Nediler]

Tony Sanches My bad, cant forget Figgy!

[@switchcrook]

I feel like it's down to Dennis, Tiago, Figgy, Evan smith and Kyle walker. One of those dudes is our SOTY

[@theForrestGalantey]

Dennis is well deserving but damn if Figgy or Evan don't get it. Its a hard SOTY choice, feel bad for Jake for having to decide lol.

[@peterjohnson1588]

for the love of God, give that man a SOTY!!!

[@drewtatasciore7086]

HES NEVER WON BEFORE!!????? FOR REAL!?

[@versnellingspookie]

@@drewtatasciore7086 he does skate for Real ;^)

[@drewtatasciore7086]

versnellingspookie correct ...... am I missing something ??

[@anhiirr]

going down as one of the best to ever do it, i remember seeing him live at the 08 x games that i dont care who won i was locked in on busenitz reynolds and duffel they were laying down some hammers looking way gnarlier than everyone while doing it at relative ease, i remember koston trying something technical and he bailed and busenitz went up and fs flip sw manualed the same box koston was trying stomething tech on.....just fucking around on his way back to the take off spot it was mind blowing

[@gunpla_sk8]

Busenitz pro are soooo good

[@xxxilenooo]

soundtrack...reeeelll good!!

[@MrTravisCS]

When Ricky Oyola says you're good...your really fucking good.

[@davyindanavy]

dayummmmm mr. dill you have grown.

[@logojones96]

Who the fuck gave this a thumbs down Dennis is the shit

[@SuperJulio2008]

Damn, I was hoping for a surprise video part. Even if half of it was old footy from the Adidas videos.

[@Huntrea9]

Julio they just dropped his new part yesterday

[@SuperJulio2008]

I know but that was for Spitfire. Plus it's mf-ing booze and tits. Don't judge me for wanting more footage haha

[@richierichie8022]

fucking lol that's what i'd call him too can never get enough of booze and tits

[@mouija1450]

I don't know who else could pull off that bank to bench switch nose manny so effortlessly at 4:52. I'm sure Daewon could wobble and twist first try, but Busenitz handled that weird transition with style and speed.

[@niklasjonssson]

the new combo of MJ D.song and busenitz will make Adidas so strong!

[@PlanetBayto]

@7:03 how does one pop off the ledge like that! what?

[@otjunior]

Beast mode!!!👹

[@sbhama780]

esse cara e foda Dennis o melhor

[@Cowboys4everbb]

first time I heard of him was in 2019. I didn't have skateshoes so my parents found some online and bought them for me, when I got them they had Buzenitz on them, I looked at it and was like who tf is this guy? looked him up and turns out he's this rad, awesome skater.

[@kobenoyashi3394]

Kinda random comment based on Jake's comments on German. But, I've often heard Americans say that German sounds angry when spoken, but to non-native english speakers English sounds just as "angry" as German haha. Busenitz is the man!

[@mishpattwo3960]

soty, please 😧😧😧

[@BierBrille]

Man, I wish. He deserved it like 8 years ago, though, and got totally passed over. SBN, good skater, but Busenitz had really put his time in that year and really deserved it. I remember because I was in Prague that year, and his footage was fucking unstoppable, so good that year, 2008.

Check tactics skate shop. it might be the two tone oval green and yellow. That's my best guess

pure shame Thrasher never gave him SOTY, Busenitz is my inspo to skating
