The new flip video dropped recently and it lived up to expectations, what with half the team gone since the last installment, due to a lot of unforeseen occurances, this video still packs a finish punch. With all the hype surrounding this video, it was truly ridiculous to see. Despite Shane Cross being dead, his memorial part is amazing, the whole part is illustrated and looks great Rip In Peace Shane. Rowley has an amazing part with his signature Hubba ledge killing spree with 'nuff clickers and some life threatening tricks towards the end, older flip fans will be pleased. Louie Lopez has a good section despite the kid style, Rodrigo TX has a very technical part if thats your thing then this will be great. Boulala is in prison but his footage is good, I've always like him because his skating always looks like hes having fun. Burnquist has now reached Mount Athens and become a God of skateboarding along with D Way. Luan De Oliveira again has a real tech part and has endless board control. The Infamous Grand Canyon footage is on here, fair play its insane but is it really skateboarding? I think he's mental. Caples, Nordberg and Willow share a section and theres a lot of good footage in here of the latter two, which always begs us to wonder "why isn't there more?!", but Nordberg does England proud and has some great tranny tricks. Glifberg's section start to finish is a bowl shred, what better. All the old git flip fans have been looking forward to Penny's section for years and it is great, I don't think it lived up to potential. Lance Mountain is one of my personal favourite skaters, this section is just a nice pool session and despite that he kills this one pool, so much so theres not really much point anyone else ever skating it again. Mark Appleyard ever since his Sorry part has dissappointed me. Why? because that section was so good for the time, how could he live up to it, every section since has been great don't get me wrong, but I don't think he's progressed as much as others, how can he have? David Gonzales, despite being a grown man still has a kid steeze, but frankly who gives a shit when his part is this insane. I didn't rate it as highly as Mind Field or Fully Flared but Mark Pritchard was happy and thats all that matters.
