Mason Silva Part Review

imbecuile indeed

Joe speier

the ender was so physics defying bru it boggles my mind how he was able to be stuck on there for a lil second and then pop out like that. dude was literally on the x axis posted up shit was crazy i thought it was cooler than the clipper clip tbh (which was still massive af)

swagbob thugpants

skating rules! Hope you find time for your other interests as well 🤝

fs

I like doing them still I’ve just been dealing with other shit which has made it harder recently but I definitely still am excited about skating

1

you have to be getting burnt on making these videos. you seem way too smart to spend so much time/watching and reviewing skate videos.

fs

Swapping the last two clips would have been so perfect

Harry Flamini

I mean the one he did with ted was great

Some people seem to forget that you are human. You come first then to please other people comes 2nd.

JaySLim

kinda in the same boat. at this point it just feels like im pissing away $10 every month. every month its something new with him, which is fine, but sticking around gets harder and harder.

Eric downing

for relatively easy and fun content I think classic part reviews would be great

swagboy

Nothing to apologize for you and others are paying me a monthly subscription and I haven’t been holding up my end, this month will be a content blizzard

Thanks for the answer and when I read my comment now I feel a bit like an idiot after your explanation. I understand you as well!

Felix K.

Thanks for the support i do appreciate it, there is a video coming up tonight but I get that I haven’t been uploading enough. As far as the streams go I uploaded the SLS stream because that was a special circumstance, I always cover street league publicly. I do feel a responsibility I think about it every day honestly it stresses me out a great deal, I do not live care free I have a lot of anxiety about all of this. I do plan on turning things around this month, I know last month was not great, Jerry flew in the sci fi team to film and I was really focused on trying to skate with them everyday. Excuses excuses I know. Either way thanks for your support and I’m genuinely sorry I haven’t been producing at the rate I should be. I’m tired of making excuses for it I want to do my job properly

1

I am sorry but I‘ll leave now after almost 2 years, even if I still love what you do, Joa😀 you really earn a good amount every month from your patreons only but do less and less with every month for a while now. I would feel a responsibility tbh. I get that you only want to put out great content every time as you once said but me and many other people here gave you so many simple ideas in terms of content and even told you that not everything has to be a masterpiece. If people pay for content here you should already know that they admire you and your work. And even the streams seem to get public on the clips channel now to get additional income which once was for the patreons… just can’t afford about 2 videos in the last 5 or 6 weeks as a student and I hope for you that others won’t leave too if this continues. Peace out❤️

Will you be posting a vod from sls? Would love to watch it. Being an Aussie means the time never really lines up when you’re live on twitch

dylan lewis

I'll come running to tie your shooooes

angcient_rock

this part review was great

Dan -

Review of the new gronze vid please

Noeh

I would love to see some vids of people teams etc going outside of la and nyc to other states and cities to find new spots.. anyone know if anyone’s done that?

dylan lewis

Someone didn't like the comments from Ted and Joa

Josh Calvo

When I watched the part I screamed here is the ender when Clipper came, cuz I’d already seen the clip on IG, thennnn I screamed even louder when there was another trick.. I was shocked, which is what you want in a skateboarding video. Perfect decision! Great/ correct choice for the ender!! IMO like Joa says

Bobby SBD

Up tonight

1

Lighten up Larry

Jude S

Upload vod pls

dylan lewis

Kudos on that Patron list tho. Spectacular

Shredsi

Joa never uploads so you're obviously trolling

Shredsi

please remove me from your patreon, i stopped paying for this shit like a month ago. clogging my feed with junk

Larry Lanza

Like if it’s the whole brand or BOB 2

zacho

That's called scarred. No thanks

Jimbo Shrump

Quasi vid still happening? I’m curious what it’s even about haha

zacho

U should do a vid where u have viewers send their worst bails caught on film and rank them….

Really CoolGuy

Any vods before the end of the month?

dylan lewis

geez fakie noseblunt at clipper was insane, dude rolled away like he just did an ollie on flat

Danny Banegas

Does skateboarding need more pluggNb tracks behind videos?

Cole Park

"Take a lap" is what a coach yells at some misbehaving team member to make them run as punishment; it would be weird for someone to use it in the context of a victory lap. The phrase also works as slang to acknowledge stupidity, e.g., "I asked Greg to pass the salt, which was right in front of him, but he overlooked it and asked where it was. Stupid as hell, he needs to take a lap." In the context of this video part, stupid gets the slang treatment as well, which inverts the normal usage, e.g., "Bruh did you see that killer Mason part? He went stupid!" "Seriously man, he needs to take a lap!" TL;DR: The title is Mason joking about how stupid he went, so stupid he should take a lap, but the fact that we have to explain the joke means it wasn't a good one.

Kenneth Preski

I love to just agree with you and feel that we think alike

Didrik Høyum-Thomasen

Would have been a much better Eno song for Mason’s skating: https://youtu.be/e3PRnZZaY0I

Nature Table

I disagree. Joa's skating is mixed very well within the beat, that was a good choice in my opinion.

Rowan D

Thanks, man. Yeah I read some other stuff that made it sound like that was a teaser for a full part. I have found the 'raw files' (https://youtu.be/rtcpIeW5RRU) but never the full thing. It may have been called 'Introducing Mason Silva' (http://elpatin.com/element-introducing-mason-silva/), but it's not clear to me. I remember it from when it was initially released, but it seems like it's one of those things that's just gone now.

JP

I googled "mason silva welcome to the family element" and it was the top result. its not a part just a few tricks. its an unlisted youtube vid that's embedded in a post on skatenugg.com https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMGOMRC1dwo edit - actually maybe this was a teaser with the same title? idk

James Scherer

Worst song on that album. Bowiepilled cheeky lad nonsense

Kason Haar

i thought of the victory lap as well as taking a lap around a place when you see security to avoid them coming over

James Scherer

song is terrible for mason’s skating. hard agree that clipper should’ve been the ender

Kevin Gray

God, I love part reviews. Hearing someone knowledgable and passionate break down fits, filming, and especially the minutiae of lines and trick selection and their relation to spots is so intensely satisfying. Have you ever thought about reviewing interesting and/or notable parts from the past, Joa? I get the feeling you're more interested in what's happening in the current moment, but you also sometimes mention being stuck for ideas for videos... As for the music, I wondered at first if it was some kind of reference to Here Come the Warm Jets at the beginning of Dennis Busenitz's Since Day One part—Real skaters who skate super fast to Eno being the link or something? But yeah, it doesn't work over the entirety of the part (in Busenitz's part they switched it up after a minute and a half). The gentle tempo and sentiment are a drag on the images of Mason skating super fast. If they wanted to go against expectations, just throwing Music for Airports on there would have been a way harder choice. (I'm kind of kidding there...but now I actually want to see some fully ambient music paired with really aggro skating.)

donaldsummer

I’d love to see a songs in parts tier list or something. Definitely some great ones and absolutely horrible ones. Last one that comes to mind that I can remember loving is spanky horses and Ben kadow blessed

dylan lewis

Wasn’t Joas part this year?

Scamp

joa is clearly just mad he still can't tie his shoes

blue3

Worst 2023 song in a part?

Rowan D

FWIW Mason is the only totally undisputed SOTY I can remember since everything got so internetified around 2016

JP

I don't think the title has anything to do with him being a soty. "Take a lap" can be used interchangeably in a situation where one might say "take a hike" and like someone else mentioned, you'll especially hear it among folks that grew up playing footbal/sports. I think the title is a bit tongue-in-cheek, but that's just my best guess. Also totally agree the song was not it for the part, but to each his own I guess. Lastly, also agree about the last two clips. I think the wall stall thing was fucking wild, but also we've all seen that trick like a million times in bowls and parks, etc where someone airs out and does that sexy wallride/wall stall pop back in thing and it's cool as fuck every time, but not like mind blowing. The clipper trick was imo pretty fuggin mind blowing and besides it being a super gnarly NBD at clipper, I can't specifically recall seeing it ever, so that kind of speaks the rarity/difficulty of the trick. In short, definitely agree the last two probably should've been switched, but all in all incredible part. Masoncells stay winning

Berra Hater

I think this works because of the amount of banks/bumps/transition spots Mason skated here. The floating quality of the melody and the keys complements the tricks being done, while the overall vibe of the song contrasts with the skater’s style.

C

Bledsoe’s part was pretty good but can tell he’s slowing down a lil with the full time tattoo gig

Iridewoodlmao

The Brian Eno project this song is from, Another Green World, is a cult favorite and an incredibly innovative project featuring some of the era’s best musicians (for example Phil Collins played the drums). This is one of a handful of the project’s tracks that has vocals, and in the context of the album it’s a joyous interlude between some really atmospheric instrumental tracks. I was thrilled when I heard the lilting riff come on over that opening rollercoaster line. I feel the song adds some levity to the part and is juxtaposed nicely to Mason’s deliberate and unrelenting style (I mean that in a positive way). That said, I can understand how the song could sound totally ridiculous on first listen.

C

I definitely agree the wall stall before the fakie noseblunt would have complimented the clipper trick and felt like a better crescendo, otherwise a great part!

Iridewoodlmao

Ps mason should skate to Tech 9 only

Lord of the fleas

I feel like a lot of mf don’t think that having a softer song works better with crazy hard skating and i for one hate the contrast, for example that song in Louie’s part worked because it sounds like a jazzy secret agent song and Louie skates like John wick with a tutu on

Lord of the fleas

I've been trying to do a Mason Silva deep dive ever since that Village Psychic interview, and now I'm even more interested... Does anyone know where to watch the Mason Silva 'Welcome to the Family' Element part from 2015? I've been trying to find it online, but it seems scrubbed (used to be hosted on the Berrics). Would appreciate the help! Hope that's not spammy... :)

JP

Great video. One note: don’t ever say ‘regies’ again.

Gabriel Snyder

Good part I still think Curren has the part of the year so far but if mason is sitting on so much footage this probably isn’t even his best work, maybe another calculated SOTY run on the cards for Mason

Show us ya Stussy

I'm a fan of this song, but it just doesn't fit the part.

Thunderwood

I had to mute it halfway through my first watch. And I, like you, enjoy and respect a lot of Brian Eno music. This one is just annoying to as hell.

1-800-dotcom

we need to unionize the modelo bros

Lucas

King

Scottie

I can understand why the wallride clip was the closer. One, it was huge. Looked like he was about 10-12 feet off the ground. Two, the wall looked fairly recessed, like a foot or more. In a way it was like a gap to wallride. He had to really pop to get out.

DG Megadoodoo

the other thing I noticed about the cab nose grind on the ledge is that he barely avoids the skate stopper on the ledge. Very precise lock in spot with the speed he's carrying

clayton

opening line was Lunch.

Thrash Talking

Don’t disrespect Brian eno Like that bruh

Mike Gaarder

Lmfao

Scottie

Thank you for uploading this so quick Joa, I know you work hard and methodical so to see something with such a turn around time is awesome. Thanks as always 🙏🏻

jiles ryan

Don't mean to pile on but how do you sleep on a SOTY?

Mawkish Mule

I love the ender. The clipper clip is like a logical progression of that spot and while insane makes sense with my understanding of the physical world. But the ender is like he has some chest codes on I seriously don’t understand the physics

Kevin O'Brien

he glazin

Morgasm

I love the song tho

aamos

part is great if on mute

Cole

The nbd at clipper speaks for itself and there’s no way it will go unnoticed. Where as the wall crawl is a simpler and easier looking trick. It was likely chosen as the ender as a way to emphasize the difficulty of the trick.

Quin Crumb

I thought the same thing about the ender, just wasn't a very satisfying clip as an ender

Cole

Whoever edited the video might have felt that it was cliche to end a part with a Clipper banger. So many people do it, but no one cares, we want more Clipper slop. (no double flip bullshit tho) He also skated the last spot in a way no one else had, nearly every trick at Clipper is a grind or slide on the hubba.

largemouthsxXnearxXyou

i wonder if "take a lap" is kinda a double entendre– like how it can be used as either a victory lap or a punishment for messing up at football practice ? u feel me ..? anyways nice vid

Nice Great

Would have loved to see mason use some nightcore in his part really suits his style and personality

Juuls4school

Wall crawl was an odd choice for the ender, I know he does a lot of wallride tricks but I feel like its always good to have an ender that is an extreme version of what we have come to know of the skaters trick selection. For mason I would expect a massive ollie or something on a huge spot with a lot of speed, I relate it to when some bowl guys have a full part of transition clips and then save the one handrail trick for the ender, it gives me the feeling of lack of consistency and then youre waiting for another trick in their specialized format. This was a great and very in-depth review btw, love you daddy!

Dylan Roeder

I understand the mason > Louie argument but I think Louie has a higher skate iq while mason gets more buck

Russell Vernon

valdeb0b

There’s also no definitive visual end to that ledge gap the gravel spot which makes is really unsatisfying in my opinion

Ryan Kewley

I think you always should show the whole clip in original motion before presenting it in bits. Good video otherwise🐶

Erik Kinnunen

What’d you think

Kenneth Copeland

gifted part reviews>

buttered_wafflez

I did see it but would not argue that lol

you could argue Sebos part in LAND is better, you should check it out

Kenneth Copeland

terrible song.

largemouthsxXnearxXyou

Same. Opening part was okay but the repetitive rest of the song was distracting and annoying.

Austin Manuel

Ambient brian eno >

Jack

Yeah, the ender felt odd to me too. I wasn’t expecting another trick after the clipper second angle however after seeing the actual ender i was then expecting another trick after and when it just ended it almost didn’t feel satisfying, if that makes any sense at all.

John Philips

off topic but u need to check this guy out, been watching him for a few months now https://youtu.be/gkmfJG54zxI

We were so close to getting a core skate part without any super 8 footage but it all came crashing down in the last 10 seconds of the vid

Already getting crucified in my dms over not liking the song

1

I expect a lot of people to, it just bums me out personally, could not get into the vocals at all. The guitar part was great though

1

Hard disagree about the song i’m so glad they chose this one. But i can see where you’re coming from Edit: to be clear, not crucifying I lol’d at your comments on it

Jacob M Hibbeln

We need the Louie mason curren anderson team, Ryan lee designated filmer
