Samuel Rooney 3 years ago

when are you going to be in the chico ca area? im totally down to hit up some mountains. i did shasta last year from the snow bowl parking lot. about half way at the end of a straight away i speed wabbled on a short board element with no pads helmet or gloves. basically tucked an rolled. took two silver dollar size chunks of flesh from both hands and one hip. but i learned my lesson. only longboards with huge green wheels and thick bike gloves. it was ironic a few months lator i bombed the hill left of lithia park in ashland Or and bumbed only one hand that time. iether way im planning a mountain tour of the west coast this summer starting in bigbear southern cali and working up cali and nevada thru orgon ending in canada. if you know of some riders that have the time and energy to pull a trip like that off under two months then sweet. ive got tones of buddys down for the trip. later and good luck with your movies.

your a fuckin moron. how bout you ride down those hills and then tell us that it was safe.
Tyler Howarth 3 years ago

I still dont get why you think it feels safe. I think it gets progressively more intense as the go down the hill. And what dont you like about the cinema? that it is too slow? sorry that there isnt any sweet beats to pump you up man.

also, about the cinema, when was the last time you passed a camera back and forth between your buddy while going 40+ mph on a skateboard? I think that is pretty impressive.

Maybe the medium is that it is a simple sport. easy editing, natural sound, pure energy and adrenaline is all you need to convey the sport. This is the best downhill video I have ever seen. but it could be possible that i am more inclined to enjoy because i know what it is like to scream down hills on a skateboard.

Crap. I just realized that you called one scene "gay" and it makes me feel like I just wasted my time responding to an ignorant person. oh well.
Ben Duffy Presents 3 years ago

This kid is just flat out retarded and seriously disrespecting what's going on. Im a filmmaker, and Ill say who the fuck cares about the cinema. If you want good cinema go watch something else. Why do people like you always have to bring your stupid negative comments just because something is amazing. Seriously shut up. Comment about ballet or tooth brushs if that's what you know, and stop commenting on shit you obviously know nothing about. -TO bevan goldswain
Ben Duffy Presents 3 years ago

Listen man, if you don't want personal attacks, then you have to watch what you say (the first time you commented). Im glad that you finally say this is impressive and you can't do it. But you also have to figure out when somethings need a special delivery, and when they don't. There are plenty of times when a more cinematic delivery is needed and great. But in this case, knowing how extreme what these guys are doing, and the feeling it gives you as it is, you just don't need anything but what is given. And that is where your wrong. One of the most important thing about filmmaking is knowing when less is more, and this is a great case of it. The feeling in my gut that this video gave me was more than enough. I hope you learned something from this.
Bryan Brush 3 years ago

Bevan Goldswain,

I understand that you're attempting to discuss the cinematic aspect of this, but perhaps you should accept that Eisenstein-like editing of this would take away from the realism of it all. This isn't a bone chilling chase scene from some modern film, but a realistic interpretation of this sport. Editing would take away from the realism in this instance. Since I began this response by referring to one Russian genius, I'll end it with reference to another. Tarkovsky would feel the rhythm in this video is perhaps perfect.

I hope you don't interpret this comment as an attack on you, but as me simply trying to help you see an artistic side in this rather than the simple "Screw yous" that others may give. I, at the least, agree with you on the clothing aspect. That scene wasn't necessary, but it was "fun." We must remember, they weren't going for this to be a perfect cinematic masterpiece, but a fun portrayal of the sport.

Take care and I wish you the best.
Ben Duffy Presents 3 years ago

Raphael Carrier- That is definitely not what's keeping the human race behind, I mean thats just a huge assumption. I think this has just gone on way to far. The point is, Belvin gave some harsh, un-relatable criticism to a piece that really just did not need it. Just understand that skateboarding can have a power beyond all that shit, sometimes with skateboarding, its just the simplicity that will get you. Just accept that the reason why everyone get's pissed off at his criticism is that It was just so not needed. Clearly these guys are incapable of having crazy "storytelling" camera work, like anyone would when your going 40 down a hill. And in terms of the editing, there is no reason to have these crazy superb "delivery's". It is just not needed, as well as his criticism. I think criticism is cool, but there is a point when criticism gets to such a point of inaccuracy, where it comes off as hating. And that's why everyone was pissed off. I guess you'll just never get it unless you skate, or know filmmaking, or just wake the fuck up.
Jelle 3 years ago

Pretty sad that people responded the way they did to Bevan's well-supported critics. I must say I agree with him. The pureness of the video has its qualities too, but I don't think a somewhat more invasive editing would have been a bad idea. I wouldn't say I completely agree with M. McLuhans "The medium is the message", but fact remains one has to keep it in account.
Jelle 3 years ago

Very interesting, Bevan!
JBH_STL 3 years ago

Bevan, I simply disagree with your assessment--and I think that's what most of the others were trying to point out. What you consider the weak points are exactly what I and others probably consider the strong points. Not every video needs clever exposition, deliberate pacing and an orderly or controlled progression through stages, just as not every piece of music is an opera. Sometimes the very rawness and LACK of slick presentation fits the subject matter better than a more controlled approach. Would you have rather seen the Sex Pistols' early days on 1080p HD or shaky, grainy black & white? Sure, a little editing goes a long way, but sometimes an unadorned approach can be quite effective.

Downhill skateboarding, by the way, can indeed be presented in the way you seem to prefer, with deliberate pacing and slick editing (see orangefiist.com/OrangeFiistMovie2.htm , for example). But that's racing, in a controlled environment (no cars), unlike the free-form randomness of that Claremont road with its cars, potholes and (much greater) speed. Riding down Claremont is a VERY dangerous thing, with "real time" happening really fast. If it seemed safe to you after 20 seconds, you must not have been paying very close attention.

You wrote that everything needs a special delivery, a little sizzle. I disagree. Sometimes the sizzle is inherent in the action itself. I watched this video and couldn't help but feel a profound tension and state of agitation throughout the whole video--until the riders arrived safely at the bottom, when I felt a palpable relief. So you tell me: Given the subject matter, is that any less of an aesthetic achievement for the filmmakers than if they'd "finessed" it like a ballet?

Don't get me wrong. I think there's a place for all kinds of presentation. I just have a hard time believing you found this video "safe" after 20 seconds.
mb 3 years ago

bevan your an idiot. that was pure poetry. if you knew the hill or really watched the video you would have found some of those turns - the approaches, not to mention dealing with cars and other unforeseen obstacles (just the unknown of what they will run into next), to have all the drama needed to keep the watcher at full attention - let alone anxious to see if these insane individuals live to ride again.
JBH_STL 3 years ago

"There is something you could have done to remind me of the speed you are traveling at or to enhance it....All I say is that it lacks that thing. " I guess the trees, potholes and cars whizzing by don't count as much for you as they do for me. Pity. But you are entitled to your opinion; I disagree. To each his own.

I think I'll watch the video again! :-)

erict 3 years ago

2 miles in 4 minutes = 30mph. But they were coasting at the end, so the peak velocity was higher, maybe 40-50mph?

Based on my observation of the landmarks, I think this is the route -- they end up near Viva Tacqueria and around the corner from the tennis courts at the Claremont Hotel: maps.google.com/maps?f=d&saddr=claremont+ave+and+grizzly+peak+blvd,+berkeley,+ca&daddr=claremont+ave+%26+russell+st,+berkeley,+ca&hl=en&geocode=&mra=ls&sll=37.8653,-122.23122&sspn=0.016059,0.033045&ie=UTF8&ll=37.863674,-122.229767&spn=0.042351,0.05785&z=14
