    If anyone of you haters knew a thing about skateboarding you would be psyched on debacle. Everyone in the vid killed it. Idc if the glass smashing was fake, it mad it more interesting and more entertaining.

    hypebeast kids just loves to hate hate hate allll day. sure debacle isn’t the end all, be all of skate videos, but you can’t blame these guys for being proud of their product or at least confident in themselves. if you spent all the time they spent on a vid, wouldn’t you want to go up in front of the world and flaunt it?!

    “Debacle” was great. The skating was sick and the way it was presented was refreshing. I’m tired of crappy bro cam and crazy death lens shots. Bring the art of filming back to skateboarding. This is a big step in the right direction. I also really dug the adrenaline vibe. I haven’t really seen that done well since the old school Santa Cruz video’s and the like. Great job guys. Looking forward to seeing what you guys do with the pro video.

    That crappy music in the background totally saps any kind of legitimacy that video had.

    I don’t watch a ton of skate vids, but this was alright. I agree that the scripted vandalism wasn’t necessary and quite obvious. I don’t think that Gert boosting himself about how SB is revolutionizing the skate video distribution model is very cool. Sure it’s great for Nike, but they already have massive funds that the other smaller companies doing videos obviously can’t match and for them to just throw their video on the net and then hope for DVD sales…that’s suicide.

    everything they’re hyping up so much about the video is what i hated. it was too clean and high budget and too scripted. it didn’t feel as real and raw as something like video days or the stuff Stereo is putting out.

    Overall it was a shitty skateboarding video. Money doesn’t make a good video.
