1. a 13 minute welcome clip. 2. why use part of 2 songs when you could have just used 1 that worked well? 3. i have never seen someone skating a primitive deck out in the wild. 4. he is good and has good style but this clip put him into immediate who cares/will follow and then eventually unfollow him on insta.

Good stuff. Fatty to flatty Switch front shuv was gnarly.

I dig that P-Rod puts on unknown (at least to me) dudes. Might not make for the most remarkable welcome to the team clips of all time, but the Baker approach of investing in dudes seems to work better in the long run.

Thought I was going to be cringing the whole time but it wasn't that bad. Sw front shuv was insane.

I liked that the story part was AFTER the skating (unlike the berrics where they make you sit through it to finally watch the part) It was actually pretty interesting, different style for a 'welcome' clip but I liked it. 

Also, how can a 'rocket' nollie back heel look that good?!

The really bent out nollie back heel and switch front shuv were nice. The extra 10 minutes of backstory could and should have been a quarter of that time, Jesus Christ.

that was confusing as hell. some lines had a almost chocolate/crailtap feeling to it, and then there were those polo-nike-olympic-athlete-lines as well.

that rhymed. kind of.

You know how if you're out and about, you can tell if someone skates? If I saw this kid on the street, I'd say he knows nothing about skating.

That being said, he's really good.

I may be a tad biased but knowing him he is seriously one of the most talented dudes i've ever seen skate.  He's incredibly consistent and can basically do anything he wants, and makes it look good while he does it.  Not a big fan of the dress style but I am a fan of tricks being done really well.

If Primitive was a country they'd have a shot at gold in 2020.
edit: It'd be cool if Paul took it down.

This whole jock athlete olympic talk is weird to me.  Doesn't look like he knows about skating?  why?  and lumping Polo in with that?  Polo's not some sportswear.  That goes as far back with hiphop as anything.  skating in that is nothing new.  That said, this guy is very good.

"he's got good style, he's funny i guess?" "okay could you just extend that into the most boring story possible?"

i feel like this is the filmers sponsor me tape for vice, but he ain't getting a box.

I just meant that the overall technical ability of the Primitive team is very, very high. I could care less about his clothes, the way he catches some of his tricks is unreal! They're not really my bag, but those guys can skate and Bob seems like a great addition to their brand of smooth ultratech. Who would've thought Bastien could ever be a weak spot on any team??

God damn that was nice. This skating isn't cookie cutter either - that's Zion and Dashawn's tip

That Muni Line was on point. Good style/good trick selection. I'm backing him.

I wanted to hate, but I can't find anything to hate on about the guy. Actually pretty good.

Kids really good, while I don’t like aspects of the brand (how heavily they push online sale, art direction, etc) they have a sick ass team and a full length by them if edited right would be unreal. They also tend to use songs I really like being a 90s rap fan.

That was smooth as hell. The switch heel back tail was insane, looked so easy.

I dig Primitive. Great team, perfect mix of low impact tech and jumping down shit in their edits, good filming and the music's nice as well.
