skateboarding has been a part of my life for over 30 years, and without a doubt this is one of my favorite videos ever. the vibe, the editing, the music. it’s perfect. amazing job guys... primitive and april are the girl and chocolate of this generation. embrace them young guns.

[@magicwood2360]

The passion is real in this video , gave me transworld vibes but also so much deeper to a gritty elegant French art sort of way .

[@patrickhanlon932]

Trent's part, especially the ender, was real nice. It's hard to get a single trick ender ender on a flatground ledge. He did that here, and he did that in an LRG video titled 1974 or something. Super buttery, super clean, super tech, and original. You love to see it.

@@Jeremyramone exactly. Beautiful insane skating from the man but I couldn’t stand the song either because of that, completely stands out from rest of the video because of that and not in a good way.

@@TheScrubDesigns agreed. I appreciate very much your sentiments. Take care

[@urbanhymns8880]

Funny Robert Neal has that shirt, yet skated to Lil Wayne, who says there is very little actual racism in the USA.

[@TheScrubDesigns]

@@urbanhymns8880 because there is fool. I’ve never experienced it with my own eyes either. Lil Wayne was also saved by a police officer whom was white. Race doesn’t matter unless you make it matter. Recently a lot of people can only see skin color when they watch these videos of cops using legal force, they should look in the mirrors and realize they are truly the racist ones for judging an entire situation based 0% on fact and 100% on skin color. Sad

[@quessia406]

One of the best videos I've seen all year, in both skating and production. All feels. I used to eat, sleep, and breathe skateboarding, from early morn until late in the night. I got a few sponsors, had my crew, and got pretty damn good. Around 20, 21 I stopped completely as addiction took over every aspect of my life. Here I am at 33, awaiting to go to federal prison for distribution. Possibly 10 years. As I await sentencing, I went and finally bought a new complete after a 12 year hiatus. It's coming back slowly, and it really never left the forefront of my mind. This made me miss my old homies and the endless sessions we'd have. Nostalgic to say the least. Don't get caught up, stay true to yourself and follow your passions. I cant get back all those years and all the years to come. Skate for life.
