Tag: Full Part

Let’s start at the end and work our way to the start. Young Rowan is turning pro and rightfully so! He has been ripping quite hard for quite some time now and if he is able to bring back that late nineties Slash hat Vans needs to give him a shoe! The rest of the team is edited together in a montage. some have more some have less footage but most of them come through. Most notably Dustin Dollin who has been skating like he is a danger to his own health, comes through with a Boulala-escque power move! All in all the Baker promo does what it promises and it does it all to a soundtrack that goes well with your morning coffee and that is a very good thing.

Actually, Devine Calloway would deserve a picture of himself next to the word “easiness” in every customary lexicon. Unfortunately, some years ago Devine suddenly left the spot light for a while. But since lately, we can witness a comeback of the style chief. Recently he also turned pro on Primitive Skateboards. The footage for this great full part was filmed almost a decade ago, but that does not mean that these clips should fall by the wayside because – let’s be honest – Devine’s footage never gets old!

Many of you will remember Josiah Gatlyn who was told to be the next big name in skateboard business. But suddenly, he left as quickly as he appeared. In a comment he explained that he had to quit his career to have chances on a solid future. Now, this officially is his last part we will ever see from him and with which he says “goodbye” to the skateboard world.

“Skateboarding is the most amazing thing on the planet, but it was originally invented for one purpose: To have fun.” – Josiah Gatlyn

Eric Living Legend Koston is unstoppable. Even with 40 years of age he is dropping full parts like a young gun. His appearance in Nike SB Chronicles Vol. 3 shows ones again that for some lucky ones age is just a number and we truly believe that this is far away from being Koston’s last part of his eternal career. Legendary.

Tristan Funkhouser surprises with a second Part in the currently released Substance video. Next to his first part in the video he also already had a full part for Baker two weeks ago. So it is not just that Tristan released three full parts in just one month, moreover each one of them is provided with incredible skateboarding and Tristan does not seem to slow down.

Our love for Mr. Vellrath started right here in the Place office. If you have ever had the pleasure to meet Sebastian you know that he is an upbeat type of guy who has a deep love for skateboarding. When he walked in the office this morning we all congratulated him with his 7th 30 something birthday. As he walked up the stairs he told us “If Florentin Marfaing can still drop parts past his 30th so can I”. Well 2016 will be a better year, if Sebi makes good on that promise! But until that happens we still have all these blasts from the past.

Chris Joslin dropped parts for PLAN B, Etnies, Venture, No Hope, The Berrics and uncountable Instagram clips during the last year – no wonder his board sponsor PLAN B turned him Pro recently. Here’s his latest part, which is radical once again and was filmed during 12 days in China. Others would need months to get stuff like this together!

This is what we thought while watching:

– China needs new spots.
– Does he look a bit like Torey Pudwill?
Jan Kliewer did this FS Boardslide years ago…
Michael Jordan tounge out moments!
– This Chinese kid!
– Chris can even skate without a hat… (2:01)
– Does he look a bit like Ryan Sheckler?
– Is this Nitro Circus?

Vladik Scholz posted the teaser for his Titus full part on instagram some days ago and wrote the following:

“It is always a good feeling to see the footage, you got during the last years, puzzled together in this one thing. Everybody knows… It is never enough and never good enough. So I hope you will watch and like it the way I could do it before the deadline.”

No worries Vladik, we love what you put together – pretty stoked!
