Yeah.. I’m at a loss about this one. Man About Town is a magazine with “Babes, bikes, battleships, booze, burgers, boards & beastly behaviour” but then this video sure is an odd one. I was intrigued with the juxtaposition of stlyes and eras, and ready to give it a thumbs up based purely on the execution of the concept, but the major continuity blunder in going from penny loafers to Vision Street Wear high tops bummed me out. I might have to invent an S&A award just so I can give it to this video. Make no mistake, I love it that people feel a need to make skateboarding videos like this. I wonder if Kilian Martin turned up to the shoot with a European carryall for a skatebag… Has anyone seen this magazine? I mean, I know people have seen it, but I’m asking our readers.

Oh you kids and your mash-ups. Check out this vid from Brett Novak, you know, Skateboarding Visual Effects Artist Extraordinaire? The skating on this is a mix of 70’s freestyle, 80’s streetstyle and well, 90’s freestyle meets modern street skating. Heck, there are even some moments to make Dan Gesmer proud. There will be haters, but you can not deny the creativity and skill. And seriously, I was completely joking about yesterday’s freestyle post. I have nothing against Rodney Mullen, at least he’s not lying about it being impossible to make good skateboards in North America. I respect his talents though. I thought it was funny that the two biggest things my son took away from the Bone Brigade Video whenshow were Lance Mountain (his favorite part is where he rides the tricycle) and the Mullen frestyling. He was pretty fascinated, and kept asking “What is he doing?” Kill your idols and watch the new blood, Kilian Martin after the jump. Doubters? How about a Primo slide off a handful of steps? – Thanks to Eric Cherry for the tip.
