Year’s Best Part Honourable Mention: Raney Beres in Garble Barf
Here’s the first in our honourable mentions on the run up to our year’s best parts top ten countdown - Starts on the 22nd of December!
We’ve long since held the theory that Raney Beres is the reincarnation of various Anti-Hero riders from different eras and even though his footage in the Implosionistic Tendencies: Garble Barf edit isn’t edited into a traditional part, it’s still great enough to be included in our year’s best part shortlist!
Echoes of Andy Roy at his best along with his noseslides, Peter Hewitt’s pool chops and invert technique, John Cardiel’s handrail habit and he even puts one down on the bowl to rail made famous by AH affiliate Phil Shao!
Hangup TBT: Ace Pelka in Skate Juice 2
This week's TBT is number six in last year's best parts countdown - Ace Pelka in Skate Juice 2!
Maybe the most well-rounded part in our top ten, Ace Pelka's Skate Juice 2 begins with a street section which includes everything from switch crooks at Pier 7 to wallwalks, Nollie backside flips to ride on grinds... The second half of the part continues in a similar vein but with a transition slant and so many cool tricks. Fastplants, inverts and airs, alongside more technical tricks like nosegrinds and various shove it noseblunts, capped off with the switch front foot impossible noseblunt to end all switch front foot impossible noseblunts!
Filmed and edited by Brent Hyden.
