Speaking of hockey, I remember I had a good birthday when I was younger. Nyjah had been sitting in my lap when he surprised me with hockey tickets. Him and I both like how big the men are and how quickly they glide on ice. It reminds me of my hands gliding over nyjah's oiled up back when I give him massages. When we got to the game one of the players recognized me from school. We did stuff together but nyjah was cool with it. Even though Jah and I are just friends so it doesn't even matter but he's just so secure and I really respect that. Anyway, after the game I was tired and Jah carried me up to my room and tripped onto my bed. And since he was already there he decided that's where he was staying. It was a good birthday
If this is Dave carnie , I thank you for the big brother days and all the fun facts during school days, before going skating in Santa Barbara. If this is not DC, whomever you are, keep up the good work and truly inspiring, well written. I am impressed.
just had a water main leak in my basement, shooting gallons of water directly on my the main breaker for the entire house and it killed the power to my refrigerator. But hey, new gifted hater content. Things are looking up.
Gotta say I burst out laughing hearing "Napalm Death - You Suffer" for Kevin's trick, it's a one second song, kind of jokingly insinuating that the single ledge trick is a complete part to a full song
Call it an educated guess, but I'm pretty sure the look of the footage is achieved by projecting the final edit and filming that. I've done the same thing in the past and the results were similar.
your analysis actually helped draw out a deeper appreciation for this video in me. i'm still meh on some of the skating here, but the presentation and aesthetic is worth acknowledging. Still, def can't have Kevin & Ben MIA and still have a successful Hockey video.
Hockey X was a sick video. Benny always has the sickest vision for FA/Hockey videos. Wish Ben and Kevin would've had a couple clips more each but otherwise I enjoyed watching this
AA’s song is a Spanish cover of country legend George Strait’s “Amarillo by morning “ the cowgirl on the cross is from the Byrds country album sweetheart of the rodeo. Country music rules
@@aarongodwin6302 to a degree, but it didn’t always pander super hard to the general public. Even with major corporate sponsors at shit like the x games or non skate related ads in transworld magazine in the 90’s for example, skateboarding wasn’t as accessible and interesting to the general public as it is now. As long as there’s still a majority of the community that remain independent and embrace the creative and more raw aspects of skating, we can afford to have the Andy Mac’s and jager eatons blasting off on a cereal box or some shit.
16:30 that phenomenon is called the psychology of the transference coined by Carl jung. He wrote a whole book about it. It's very interesting basically about how when we see someone who looks like someone from our past we unconsciously treat them like that person in many ways
I watched Hockey X not long after coming off watching dead mall videos and doing my rounds of looking at urban decay on google maps and imo the soundtrack in Caleb's part really captured that juxtaposition of hopefulness and emptiness that i imagine these affected areas of USA would be like. Not many videographers can capture this and it is incredibly special to see.
This video was subpar. It had it's cool parts but overall it didn't deliver..I'm all for low key cruising let it fly tricks but overall this one wasn't it. And don't get started with this ben kadow dude. He's one of the laziest over hyped skaters out there. This guy hasn't put a real part together for years and even before that he didn't really try. How they let him slide by is beyond me, the guy is a flop. How do you do that when strobeck put the spotlight on you and thats how you repay him by coming thru with nothing..it's a joke. But whatever that's what this company is about, just getting by. It's trendy but overall not that unique anymore
Watched this entire video in about 30 seconds, good stuff as usual. Like the part towards the end a lot that was a great touch. Don't appreciate you saying all of that about Diego's family though.
I want to watch this video on an older tube TV. I think it would look even better. All the shots look graded the same which is something I have not been seeing from a lot of the more well-known brands and I really hate when all shots don't match up. Love the title cards.
trying hard isn't cool in skating & Hockey is the current epitome of cool so it makes sense that Nik & Caleb aren't trying too hard in this vid. John & Joe went hard for the squad
I get so tired of the typical 8mm b roll filter in like 70% off all skate vids. Hockey is one of the few that can be entertaining to watch even if the skating isn't top notch.
@Diglet45 yeah specially when they came through Dallas TX cuz we had terrible snow when they were here and and the Hill Bomb Nik Skated is no joke on small fuck up and say goodbye to your FLESH
Who could be behind the rickety ass electrical poles? Is it Donovan with the blue dunks and tucked in greaser tank top!? Ahahahaaaa!!!! So awesome. That seriously made me spit out water that I was sipping. OMG!!!! Wow.
What you were saying during Nik stains part, I honestly feel like the guys don’t want to waste footage when it’s gonna end up looking all blurry and shit. And I say that as a fan of the aesthetic.
I love seeing people's reaction to the 110 N aka Arroyo Parkway (the oldest freeway west of the Mississippi). My friend is visiting from Dallas and we took the 110 to South Pasadena last night. He was like, "WTF is this on ramp!? This is so sketchy." There's also barely any shoulder, so you can't really pull over once you're NE of the 101.
@@zionelle1641 true he did! Not taking anything away from him, I was more so focusing on the lack of “a real part” from what I expected to be the heavy hitters, ie: Nik, Ben, and Andrew. It just seemed lackluster. Joe was great, I was just so blown away by Diego.
When I first heard Crusin' I thought this singer sucks what is this, then the fast part came on with the kink ledge & I thought wait this song is awesome. Homie starts singing again and I'm like YO this is the best song in the whole video! Been listing to it and the original ever since lol

Agree with Nik's part. Always been a fan but I feel like iv seen half that part somewhere already. I'm pretty sure the two plaza lines were already in an Atlantic drift video, could be wrong
I still find it kinda silly how Hockey is brand that insinuates an entirely different sport, yet it's an entirely different sport. Imagine a Hockey stick manufacturer named "skateboard".
As someone who lives in new york and has there whole life there isn’t that much to skate manhattan spots are pretty burnt and there are some hidden shit in brooklyn but everything’s pretty blown and we’re kinda tired of it also
I love the content Joah. The voice of a modern man. There is one unspoken rule about Oregon skateboarding you have shit on my friend. Never hate on Busch Light. Jokes aside. Come skate Oregon.
I think the Nike’s work with Donovan’s style. It’s kinda like metal style in the eighties where they wore white nikes with an all black fit. It makes the shoes pop
Your take at 23:00 is spot on. I agree. It's my same take with people (my own black people) who don't give a FUCK about skating thrasher or Phelps walking around with vans on and thrasher shirts. Preach Joa.
Why did you have to clarify "your own black people"? A kook is a kook. Blame Thrasher and Van's for selling out and making their products readily available at 10 different stores in the mall.
ayo gifted - I think they film the tv screen after editing the video and play it back, then drop the sound bed back in to give it that look. it causes frame stuttering too.
Benny Maglinao is so mysterious I could find a picture of him wit a quick google search but maybe I dont need to. I just assume he looks like the CCS guy Matt Price
I don't even know why 9 Club plays videos when they have nothing to say. Hater provides insights while the 9 Club panel let the clips run and just ramble.
