Cliche, De Ja Vu

Wow, what a disappointment. I know it's just a free remix video, but I always enjoy Cliche productions. Maybe I expected too much, but I thought it would be at least watchable. How did all those editors manage to make watching that rad team so boring? A lot of it seemed pretty half-assed. I did enjoy Andrew Brophy's part. Ty Evans' edit of Lucas Puig was ridiculous and makes me fear for the future. After a minute-and-a-half of hoping for an end to the slow-mo, I stopped the video and actually said out loud, "Wow, Ty Evans sucks." Never thought I'd say that. I realize the video has to feel a little jumpy because there are different editing styles throughout, but there are many amateur editors out there that could have done MUCH better. Weird, I guess. What a turd. By the way, who the heck am I writing to anyway? I think this is the lowest of internet lows. Skate nerd enraged at a free online video vents on blog. Awesome. Anyway, something to cheer me up.

Roger That!

Good title, right? I'm excited for Roger Skateboards. It sort of reminds me of old World Industries stuff just in that it's not afraid to make fun of skateboarding as a whole. I never really got to be around for the Rocco era, so I guess I'm just making assumptions here, but nevertheless it's something new and funny. Check out the website to see their ads. Also, the sticker team idea is fucking great! Michael Sieben's definitely put his time in as a skate nerd and it shines through in his ideas and artwork. Good job, I just wish I could get my hands on one of their decks. Here's the website as well as a cool Slap interview with Michael Sieben.
