Longboarding - Swirling Samas

vimeo.com/43921245
Celebrating the release of the new Dervish Sama, the Loaded crew took an adventure to Northern California for a spiritual journey and flowy riding through the lush redwood forests. Five years after the release of the original Dervish, the Dervish Sama carries on its predecessor's drop-through carving legacy while inspiring new riding directions with its twin kicks, wider and more concave platform, and purposeful griptape design. In Swirling Samas, three riders (Ari, Trevor, and Max) with totally different riding styles weave and spin their way through a variety of beautiful scenery. Camera work is focused on details and fluid lines.

This was really important to me when it was new. It's a fundamental memory from growing up, now. Watching this again brings me right back- pretty strange and a little sad, I admit, to realize how time's gone by. Thank you, Adam Colton. I think I'm safe in saying that, like many others, you changed my life.

[@kialandy6866]

Man I totaly agree. I just came back from a boarding session with my 16yo cousin (me 26). The dervish Sama was my first good board after having a cheap ass jucker Hawaii. Didn't feel it cause I was to light for it. Worked my ass off in gastronomy and bought the tan tien. Man I ride that thing since 7 years now. But this video was the inspiring spark that let me fell in love with longboarding and I remembered it after returned home and here I am falling back on the memories I had since then.. Jeez I feel old now

[@dominicd1431]

same bro, same

[@artisanrocky8496]

You are not alone. These videos were everything for me in Middle School. Now I’m 21 and memories are flooding back.

[@emielhasselt2518]

Felt this comment through my whole body🥺❤️

[@breseee]

I'm really not a huge fan of skateboarding, long boarding, snowboarding… really any kind of boarding. I think it's cool and all, but it's not, you know, really my thing. What is my thing is watching people who are so in love with what they do that it's breathtaking. I watched this video today in an online webinar I'm taking about videography and the instructor was talking about how the filmmaker loves his craft. That is completely apparent in this video, as is the passion for their long boarding that these guys have. They aren't boarding… They are dancing. Watch this video. It encourages and inspires me to pursue my passion as fully as those who were involved making this film obviously have. I hope it does the same for you.

[@ciai_6199]

we need more people like you, people who let people do what they love without bullshitting about it because youre not into it. in fact, youre the exact opposite. you understand those guys and their passion and are able to reflect that on your own passion for stuff that YOU like. youre amazing, remember that

[@Dekcatta]

I'm glad whoever edited this took an amazing song from an amazing artist, put it to an amazing sport/hobby, and put it to an amazing film. This video was 100% pure gold.

[@concretesurf08]

Whirling Dervish was one of the first longboarding videos I watched on youtube, while eagerly anticipating the arrival of my first longboard. To see the amount of progression in both the sport and community as a whole is truly awe inspiring. These vids are not only works of art, but just make me wanna get out and skate!

[@humbertbrito]

I miss this beautiful videos so much!!!

[@TheNarutoAMVs]

I am literally tearing up. That dude at 1:58 is just so smooth. It's beautiful.

[@fasmat84]

This song brings great memories back. I remember when I first watched this video it had less than 500 views. After watching it, the first thing I did was to pre-order the Dervish Sama, which I loved so much. Funny thing: I also started listening to Emancipator that I ended up going to one of his concerts :]

[@mauri-mattiaslaanesaar5305]

Always good to find something new. I've been playing time for space a whole lot lately

[@brockchopper2430]

What song is it?

[@MGBrauck]

@@brockchopper2430 Safe in the Steep Cliffs, which is on the album of the same name.

[@IsoTundra]

I've watched this so many times and I still can't believe how amazing Ari is at dancing.

[@MaddzTomo]

Oh my god, I've never seen someone dance on a longboard as well as that! Amazing.

[@andrewharrison9321]

One of the greatest youtube videos

[@wipeout911]

Never once do you think that a longboarding video will almost bring you to tears and make you ponder your existence and its relevance to the rest of the world. Then this comes along.

[@moneyhooligan03]

Sweet vid and awesome track from an awesome album. I envy these dudes... One of these days... My future kid will be that good.

[@leeshoe2418]

This was so beautiful, it brought tears to my eyes.

[@christianmanning8746]

long board-ballet... absolutely beautiful style!

[@VbSteezy]

all seriousness, whoever was responsible for this beautiful cinematography deserves mad respect. This is by far one of the best videos period.

[@123tabs456]

one of the most beautiful longboard vids i have ever seen. great riding, inspiring music, and awesome filming/editing. congrats to all of the ones who made this vid

[@ROBOELITE29]

i have a dervish sama. beautiful board with beautiful handling

[@ezranelson]

Awesome video, you guys are so epic and inspireing

[@Uudase]

I am not allowed google + anymore! Sorry! Can't watch your videos, but I'm sure they are cool!

[@thestupidfruitcake]

Finally a video that doesn't have dubstep it. i love this video so much, this really brought me back to what longboarding is all about. Thanks Loaded, you've done it again. Well done.

[@Salamander43096]

I like how this video is showing the how versatile the new dervish sama is: -The guy in black=Dancing -Long Hair=Board tricks(shuvit, etc.) -Guy in blue shirt=sliding Great video showing that the sama can be used with many different styles:)

[@smeagolsprecious7506]

I don't know about you, but I just want to ride right now.

[@ForcesPlay]

Oh Germany, why dont u have such great spots? ....

[@tombarisch239]

Nehme mal an du bist deutscher ?! Schon mal am Fichtelberg oder am großen Aber gewesen ?? soooo nice Das geilste dabei ist dass man die Spots im Sommer zum Carven und Sliden mitn LB nehmen kann und im Winter fürs SB :)

[@ForcesPlay]

Sagt mir gar nichts O.O ich komm aus Bw an der Grenze zu Bayern. Und wenn du kein Auto hast, wird es echt schwer gute Spots zu finden:/

[@tombarisch239]

Also großer Aber is Bayern (östlich von Regensburg) und Fichtelberg im Erzgebirge, Sachsen :)

[@NetroXi]

Any flatlant is good spot, any street, any car parking... owned or used properly. :)

[@tombarisch239]

thats the problem in eastern germany :D too much mountains and longboarder are not allowed to drive on streets :D sry for bad english^^

[@deqndsenproductions]

This is seriously the best longboarding video I've seen in a long time. Cannot wait to get this board.

[@TheGuitarDude92]

No matter how many times I see this, it never fails to leave me spellbound.... :)

[@MaxWoudenberg]

This has to be one of my all time favourite longboarding video's :)

[@gfy305]

I could never get tired of watching this video. Amazing work to whomever put this together.

[@RunFaster011]

[@SuperSonicVengance]

[@EastAtLeast]

These videos make longboarders look like some sort of new age nature gurus! Just go with the flow, man!

[@samueldecary]

The soul of longboard ... This is it. I'm so in love with it ! I'm never gonna stop to ride my board. Never. I swear in Colton. Longboard is my freedom. Thank you to grow up my passion again with this video.

[@InDaClub717]

Filming = PERFECT. Really shows off longboarding and its beauty and the art form that goes along with it in the best way that it could've been presented. If there is any sports filmer out there that should be recognized, it's Adam Colton!

[@FlyingNinjaSloth]

What the actual fuck?! These guys cant be human. Motivation levels over 9000!!!!

[@justsomeaverageguy]

the mix between there skating the scenery, the footage and the music is ah inspiring

[@sbuba90]

One of the most beautiful and inspiring videos ever. It makes me want to ride my Sama all day even if i'm not able at all at dancing, sliding or tricks.. but with time, practice and some blood on the ground, one day i'll be able too..

[@yanncoffey]

[@CAMMORANIUM]

I like that it was not a scripted movie thing and more about how to connect with your board and the Earth that provided the materials for it.

[@chepurkoarchitect]

This is the Best longboard video i've ever seen! Music wow!

[@redsquirrelandreuben]

far out, this is a fantastic video- skatingwise and filmwise!- the sunset shots especially, but ahh... so good! if you don't look at Ari's feet you'd think he was skating on ice... incredibly smooth!
