I love how the final line was presented as one long, continuous shot with no music laid over it; hearing all the raw sounds of wheels on concrete and acoustic pops you can feel the sustained tension and smell the thick city night air. He exemplifies a true professional skateboarder, calm, cool, focused, collected, and disciplined. Just outstanding
Absolutely nothing compared to this but one of my fav lines I did back in the day my friend had the fucking lens cap on the entire time. I gave him shit for that for a long time.
Yeah, that is exactly what the finished product is selling. Something so difficult done perfectly as if it's just a natural night out where he's using a board as transportation. The reality is the rest of the video. Kind of sad really, but the finished product is beautiful.
Skating the city at night and hitting spots along the way: the best. And gotta give credit where credit is due: major props to the filmer for thinking of the idea. Of course props to Silvas too, amazingly smooth style. Damn this shit makes me feel nostalgic for when my knees were still working properly!
Being from LA, I’ve skated down this path a few times and I had always thought “this path would be perfect for a long line” but I never thought anyone could do it. Multiple blocks with multiple errors possible; the fact that he did it and was able to capture all these spots is incredible. Congrats Miles
Mike Anderson I dunno. As a very music related person, the music adds so much. You add a skater pink soundtrack to the song, it’s angry, it’s wild, it’s sick. You add a lofi track, is calm, effortless, relaxing. Add a hiphop track, it’s cool, it’s rad, it’s impressive. Add a nice guitar track like they did, it sort of has this nice riff but builds hella tension.
it’s blu I agree, there’s artistic value in both of those versions, with/without music. I enjoyed both for their own reasons, it all depends on how you want to express it. Skateboarding is an art form.
i love how at the end while miles was walking down the stairs no one said anything then when he got to the bottom everyone started celebrating, thats what i love about the skateboarding community and that why im proud to be a part of it
most people wouldnt have been able to put together the frontside 180 and trey without blowing a gasket with how populated this area dude, did you see how chill he was in this vid? The guy already has an insanely loose style, and thats considering all the tries it took!
I can't put my finger on it, but there was something about this video that was particularly beautiful and evoked an emotion in me that I don't usually get from too many skateboarding videos. This is really something special.
And I know no one will ever see this one a 3+ year old skateboarding video but i want you to at least appreciate the opening cinematography. It’s almost like a child emerging from a womb with a board in their hand. Looking at it, hand flipping it, hand grinding it to see what’s possible, looking back at it and having the confidence to throw it down.
The average skater can’t even comprehend how difficult it is to put all those tricks together. Most won’t make it past the first 4 tricks without a battle
Its not just the skating, its a real experience of skating and feeling the ambience of LA. Im from indonesia and never know that a legendary spot is packed arround some block. This is the best skate clip i ever see in my whole life, (i watch thrasher since 2014)
the tension was unbelievable! everyone who tried to film a line (no matter how difficult) knows about the pressure building up - but this right is here is something else 4real, cannot put this in words
4 days? 4 DAYS?! The line itself was superhuman, but it only took 4 days to get it done? Shit is insane. I would have jumped into a bush, shit myself and started crying on hour 2 of day 1.
Yea imagine how frustrating it must have been doing that for 4 days. Especially because there are so many things that can go wrong. Then you have to go all the way back walk down the stairs then walk back up them and then start.
watching this made me want to cry for some odd reason. this is amazing and the amount of time this took is unbelievable and the fact that he also had to deal with people, in the way lights cars, and all of those things make it so much harder. too incredible and will always be legendary.
It's crazy, the switch back tail would have been good enough as a stand alone trick, and this dude does like 15 tricks before it. This line is what skateboarding is all about. Cruising down the streets and hitting obstacles on your way.
As a 42 YOM, who grew up skating in the mid 90s. This may be one of the most epic lines ever done. Reminds me of Lavar McBride at EMB just going and going forever.
Especially for this type of presentation, it shows all of his trials and errors and he finally nails and it trips on a stair because of excitement. Thats fuckin gold right there.
This is arguably the best video from "my war" series. Not the most extreme but definitely the most beautiful. This is an essence of night skateboarding ride in the city. Smooth and poetic. Perfect!
the video is so beautiful, the lights, the cars, the urban beauty, the absolute dead silence of the city, all you hear is the skateboard wheels and its amazing .
This is my favourite of the series. I adore how there is no music for the final run. Just the night and our dude on his board. So, so of the moment. True skateboarding.
Holding in all that tension when he was walking down the stairs till the end must have been skin peeling! I might have just started screaming behind the camera in the middle of the scene.
I don't understand why I see people complaining about this video/line? I would love to see any of you even attempt to do the first 5 tricks as clean as miles
@560172 I mean yeah, they literally do know the most about skateboarding, as they are pro skateboarders, so I'd take their opinions on his video over someone who sucks at it
I had a moment of silence for this man. Finally the moment all one take one shot one kill. I'm not a skater but I definitely appreciate this channel and especially this episode. Respect from canada
All these videos are hardwork and people love to talk mad shit about them as if they could handle the pressure. We are fortunate to see these pieces of art for free...
@@user-pd3tw3ft9b well it’s actually my band hehe. There isn’t any instrumental version to be found but the full song i available on Spotify. Search for Faust Agent bla
Mind. Blown. 32 year old ex skateboarder. I got to the boardsliding bigish handrails, 10-12 stair gaps level. I was tripping after the little switch tre, then the crispy switch heel over the trashcan. Just nasty. Skateboarding has come so far.
That was incredible to watch. The camerawork is absolutely stunning too. It's so hard to keep such a consistently framed shot with that low of an aperture. He has to stay within like a foot of the same distance the whole time. What a line.
the epitmoe of street skating, getting to places no one gets to on the board expressing the most artful and stylish tricks. really good choice for no music on the part.. really brought me back to my dgk days of skating through the dead of night
Im late but damn, coming into the end shot with all the prior knowledge of just how much pressure there is on every crack let alone flip trick...this is like the Free Solo of skating. He could have set up a more difficult trick selection in fragments but imho unbroken street skating is truly in its own category. Cant even imagine..... Stoked
I remember seeing this way back and thinking "Did this dude just skate the smoothest, sickest switch game line, with smooth jazz playing, for a full 5 mins?!" Epic!
Dude a little piece of me died inside when he picked up his board to walk down such a beautiful set... Still great line but could of been sooooo much better if he'd even just ollied the set :/
This guy is so sick! Shit like this reminds me of why I started skating in the first place when I was 14 I haven't skated in like 4 years but am getting back into it now that I'm 19 I still feel like how I did when I was a kid!!
This is one of the best shot film scenes ever in my opinion. No words, no music, nothing. But after watching I want more. I want to know who this person is. What's his story? Where are they coming from? Where are they going? Is it just some kid skating home, maybe he's skated this route a million times. So much packed into these few minutes of film. Great job.
might have been too heavy to carry for a 7 minute line. i don't think there are even 7 minute steady cam shots in feature films where they aren't following a skater for blocks and blocks
bet it would have looked really nice on a dji osmo like those little tiny hand held gimbals. they actually look pretty good. I wonder if he had any stabilization ? seemed pretty good if not he must have had a decently wide lens then if not.
You only hear the sound of the wheels. Just so sick
Hanus
Love that klop....klop on each land.
The original ASMR
I love the sound of rolling wheels 99a
no music was definitely a good choice for that it was just perfect. Even just the sound of people walking by talking makes this even cooler
Say Hanus without the H
I love how the final line was presented as one long, continuous shot with no music laid over it; hearing all the raw sounds of wheels on concrete and acoustic pops you can feel the sustained tension and smell the thick city night air. He exemplifies a true professional skateboarder, calm, cool, focused, collected, and disciplined. Just outstanding
Hearing the sounds of the city.
The sole sound of the wheels on the smooth concrete just makes something click in my brain which makes me think “woah this is gnarly”
gayhaifa you sound like my English teacher
my thoughts exactly
aight bro you didn't have to sound like you were taking an english exam
The amount of insane work that took was incredible. My favorite of this series so far.
Holy shit bro it's fucking cruxal.
999
are you good yet
grim???? nani!?
Imagine finally nailing this line after god knows how many tries and the filmer hits a pebble
Jack Song miles did it and then fucked up pivoting at the end, like wtf?
Jack Song RIP
@@df3kt well he did to a switch back 50 then instead of a switch back tail though right? the backtail was way better anyways
@putsome basilonit that's actually happend to me.. Had to do everything all over in just a couple of weeks..
Soft wheels
So much had to happen for that line. The pedestrians, cars, cameraman, Miles, cracks, rocks, and just a big mind game the whole time. Very cool idea!
This looks like it was pulled straight out a movie. So sick.
police academy 24 (4th movie had like, hawk, caballero, mcgilll, Lance, basically half the fuckin bones brigade)
It would make a sick ass opening scene for a movie about some LA sh¡t
@@sandhanitizer15fr
“Listen dude....camera wasnt rolling...”
Owh... :)
I’ve seen this quote a lot
i would end my career right then and there.
i woulda smashed my camera and said the sd card is broken
Absolutely nothing compared to this but one of my fav lines I did back in the day my friend had the fucking lens cap on the entire time. I gave him shit for that for a long time.
This is what i imagine skating is like when im finally good
Yeah, that is exactly what the finished product is selling. Something so difficult done perfectly as if it's just a natural night out where he's using a board as transportation. The reality is the rest of the video. Kind of sad really, but the finished product is beautiful.
Are you good yet?
Grayson Patnode I was going to say the same thing lmao

So nobody has picked up that trash can since 1989?

No

Of course not its LA bro lol
weird to think i went to school with this guy now he’s on thrasher. congrats man
chuck change didn't he go to Bella vista
What... you thought the stork drops all these talents right where they stand ?
Weird humble brag too.
@chuck change Aren't you special? Do you feel special? You should feel special.
you probably never even talked to the guy.
Everyone hating on the guy relax lmao. I wouldn't even call that a brag because of the way he said it.

I like it without the music
Derty Hairy why?
lauro delima it gives it more of a real feel. You don't hear music as your skating...just the wheels/trucks and concrete. Doesn't need music.
Same. The music over all skating pretty much ruins it. Bit like a good porn movie I guess.
Mike Anderson I dunno. As a very music related person, the music adds so much. You add a skater pink soundtrack to the song, it’s angry, it’s wild, it’s sick. You add a lofi track, is calm, effortless, relaxing. Add a hiphop track, it’s cool, it’s rad, it’s impressive.

This guy is chill as fuck, never seen him freak out, props to his patience
I find this hard to believe
what the fuck
He threw his board after falling over the trash can bc the kid walking that wasnt really in his way distracted him lol
most people wouldnt have been able to put together the frontside 180 and trey without blowing a gasket with how populated this area dude, did you see how chill he was in this vid? The guy already has an insanely loose style, and thats considering all the tries it took!
right
Stay tuned for my installment of My War: flat ground Nollie flip
I can't put my finger on it, but there was something about this video that was particularly beautiful and evoked an emotion in me that I don't usually get from too many skateboarding videos. This is really something special.
I just realized that every light was green too. Literally everything lined up. Amazing.
And I know no one will ever see this one a 3+ year old skateboarding video but i want you to at least appreciate the opening cinematography. It’s almost like a child emerging from a womb with a board in their hand. Looking at it, hand flipping it, hand grinding it to see what’s possible, looking back at it and having the confidence to throw it down.
I know its irrelevant but the fact that i didnt know if he was goofy or regular because of how good he was amazed me😮
nah you just didn't know whether he was goofy or regular
nah miles decided to question goofy or regular when he was born
Absolutely legendary. Definitely one of the most insane things ever done with skateboarding .
The average skater can’t even comprehend how difficult it is to put all those tricks together. Most won’t make it past the first 4 tricks without a battle
I use to pull lines when I was young , it takes lots of practice and commitment and fitness . Good on him
As an average skater I can tell you the fact that I could barely do any 3 of these in a row is EXACTLY why I DO understand how hard it is.
I'm so stuffed after 3 or 4, his endurance, physical and mental would have to be high.
For sure , he practiced the line a few times with the same tricks . Muscle memory is why this is possible . Mostly confidence is the key
Tray flips not the hardest trick , that 360 shovit is where I might fucked up and that switch heel over the bin for sure lol
Its not just the skating, its a real experience of skating and feeling the ambience of LA. Im from indonesia and never know that a legendary spot is packed arround some block. This is the best skate clip i ever see in my whole life, (i watch thrasher since 2014)

People saying it’s lame they probably can’t push switch
there's like 15 tricks in this and you're focused on him fixing his chain?
James Scherer right
i actually did think this was lame untill i got better and realized how crazy it was i also learned to push switch lmao
I was staring at that the whole time. My guy was just cruising. Sick video
It's crazy, the switch back tail would have been good enough as a stand alone trick, and this dude does like 15 tricks before it. This line is what skateboarding is all about. Cruising down the streets and hitting obstacles on your way.
well Gary is going to be shooketh
Diego Megi trueth
Nothing in the line is inherently crazy but the fact that it’s all one take makes it right on par with the craziest parts out there.
As a 42 YOM, who grew up skating in the mid 90s. This may be one of the most epic lines ever done. Reminds me of Lavar McBride at EMB just going and going forever.
Imagine if he arrived to the other metro station and failed picking the board up
Augustin Muresan imagine if he tripped on the LAST set of stairs at the metro..
I would have played it off and kept going lol. Fuck it, change the script at the end right then and there
That would make it better lol
Especially for this type of presentation, it shows all of his trials and errors and he finally nails and it trips on a stair because of excitement. Thats fuckin gold right there.
@@Darker.Outlook I said the same thing lol
This is arguably the best video from "my war" series. Not the most extreme but definitely the most beautiful. This is an essence of night skateboarding ride in the city. Smooth and poetic. Perfect!
I was wondering how this was made. Damn man thats so savage!! Props to Miles!
Imo this is the most impressive “my war”, they’re all amazing but just the mental strain from this one is insane.
It's like the Birdman of Skateboarding.
you mean tony hawk?
Vasectomy Fail no, like, the movie.
DanielBx he never said it was, he just used a m9re commonly known title
Or the unexpected virtue of silvas
DanielBx yeah, but I feel like a Rope reference would go over most people's head nowadays.
Got the chills at the end man. I liked how there was no music just makes it feels more intense.
I love that they showed the raw clip of the whole line. That shit was so casual and smooth. I wish I was on this level.
Imagine he tripped while walking down that huge set of stairs
The level of fitness needed to have the energy for a line this long is insane. Dude is a beast
One of the best Skatevideos i have ever seen.
The lights, the sound of the board, the filming and that easy looking style, what a nice atmosphere.
So good!
Really shows off that part of LA in a way outsiders would never know.
So well done.
the video is so beautiful, the lights, the cars, the urban beauty, the absolute dead silence of the city, all you hear is the skateboard wheels and its amazing .
Damn!
Nightspeeds I fuck with your channel
when a regular dude comments = 1 like (likes own comment)
when a famous youtuber comments

This is my favourite of the series. I adore how there is no music for the final run. Just the night and our dude on his board. So, so of the moment. True skateboarding.
This has to be my favorite “my war” episode
Felt like I was watching a movie. He should have ollied that double set at the end. #boss'dUP
5:53 that tre flip and the green light 🔥
Easily the longest and most difficult looking line I’ve ever seen in my life 💯 mad respect. Thank you thrasher for these videos.
Wow! That was beautiful. Thanks for this amazing piece of art, just the sound of skating thru the night.
One of my favorite videos wow. I love that there is no background music to this. Just the sounds of him skating. So so good
Holding in all that tension when he was walking down the stairs till the end must have been skin peeling! I might have just started screaming behind the camera in the middle of the scene.
Beautiful. One of the most important runs of all time
This is giving me anxiety
It’s astonishing how well he keeps his cool throughout the entire process! I would have come unglued after less than an hour!
The perseverance is off the fucking chart. Major congrats man!
I don't even skate but for some reason I've watched like 50 skate videos during this quarantine lol...this was my favorite one.
Bro just start.
I don't understand why I see people complaining about this video/line? I would love to see any of you even attempt to do the first 5 tricks as clean as miles
right? and people crying cuz he stepped off the board... after 12 straight tricks
Preach bruddah
@560172 And yet his pro skater peers loved the video and give him props for it, but yeah it totallllyyy turned out like shit because you think so.
@560172 I mean yeah, they literally do know the most about skateboarding, as they are pro skateboarders, so I'd take their opinions on his video over someone who sucks at it
Probably the best line I’ve seen. Dude was pushing switch for a minute there too. Gotta appreciate that
10:00 You can see smiling af as he goes down lmao. Well deserved, insane line
One of my favorite skateboarding footage of all time! STUNNING
5:56 he gets the “green light”
As a kid this is exactly how I pictured any pro skater skated when they were headed to the store or something. Beautifully done.
The hardest part was not screaming in joy when he finally finished his line and he had to wait to go all the way back
I had a moment of silence for this man. Finally the moment all one take one shot one kill. I'm not a skater but I definitely appreciate this channel and especially this episode. Respect from canada
Very relaxing
All these videos are hardwork and people love to talk mad shit about them as if they could handle the pressure. We are fortunate to see these pieces of art for free...

lmao was looking for a joint roach at first

Haven't watched it yet but fucking hyped
That was so much more then just some line. That was genuine art in motion on both Miles and Colin's part!
Lots of trolls and haters in the comments.

Mind. Blown. 32 year old ex skateboarder. I got to the boardsliding bigish handrails, 10-12 stair gaps level. I was tripping after the little switch tre, then the crispy switch heel over the trashcan. Just nasty. Skateboarding has come so far.
But why not film it with a stabilizer :/
That was incredible to watch. The camerawork is absolutely stunning too. It's so hard to keep such a consistently framed shot with that low of an aperture. He has to stay within like a foot of the same distance the whole time. What a line.
My war was a 3 trick line and I wanted to give up after 30 minutes
the epitmoe of street skating, getting to places no one gets to on the board expressing the most artful and stylish tricks. really good choice for no music on the part.. really brought me back to my dgk days of skating through the dead of night
what a song?
SloY silent sloth
I need the name of the background music!
It’s Faust by the band Agent bla
this one take is what got me into skateboarding thank you for enriching my life with this piece of art
jesus Guy was the wrong guy to interview on this one lmao
Im late but damn, coming into the end shot with all the prior knowledge of just how much pressure there is on every crack let alone flip trick...this is like the Free Solo of skating. He could have set up a more difficult trick selection in fragments but imho unbroken street skating is truly in its own category. Cant even imagine..... Stoked
6:58 dude the filmer hit a rock
This dude is sooooo under rated in my opinion. Cant wait to see more video parts from him
Imagine if he fell on the last step
My favorite my war. Such an uncontrollable battlefield it just totally embodies "my war"
i clicked on this so fast
I remember seeing this way back and thinking "Did this dude just skate the smoothest, sickest switch game line, with smooth jazz playing, for a full 5 mins?!"
Epic!
Didn't ollie the stairs at the end, 0/10
Taylor Jones 😂
Dude a little piece of me died inside when he picked up his board to walk down such a beautiful set... Still great line but could of been sooooo much better if he'd even just ollied the set :/
Maka Laka yeah
That's a big ass Ollie to work into the 30-40 attempts at such a long line.
I'm coming back after the wahlenburg war posted today, just to rewatch this magic.
this moment when a skat magazine has a series called MEIN KAMPF
No that would be "my fight "
This translates to "mein krieg" which has absolutely nothing to do with hitler
I really appreciate that they did it at night. I'm sure it was a necessity, cuz of traffic and stuff, but it sets the serene vibe. So killer.
I woulda just smashed that out in a couple hours and had my homie splice the footage together 😂😂
This guy is so sick! Shit like this reminds me of why I started skating in the first place when I was 14 I haven't skated in like 4 years but am getting back into it now that I'm 19 I still feel like how I did when I was a kid!!
felt more like a commercial for adidas
it is
all skate vids are commercials for the companys that put them out, the only exception being homie videos
easily one of the best lines to go down in history:)
When your on hardcore difficulty in skate 3
This is one of the best shot film scenes ever in my opinion. No words, no music, nothing. But after watching I want more. I want to know who this person is. What's his story? Where are they coming from? Where are they going? Is it just some kid skating home, maybe he's skated this route a million times. So much packed into these few minutes of film. Great job.
They should have used a gimble
might have been too heavy to carry for a 7 minute line. i don't think there are even 7 minute steady cam shots in feature films where they aren't following a skater for blocks and blocks
True
bet it would have looked really nice on a dji osmo like those little tiny hand held gimbals. they actually look pretty good. I wonder if he had any stabilization ? seemed pretty good if not he must have had a decently wide lens then if not.
