Hope everyone had a good Christmas!
We thought we’d celebrate with a post about all things Madness…
Always good to see a new, interesting United Nations come out of The Berrics!
Featuring Clay Kreiner, Ace Pelka, Jack Fardell, Martino Cattaneo, Sam Ogden, CJ Titus, Skyler King, Jedd McKenzie, Trey Wood, Dan Dubois, Alex Perelson, and Nick Papa.
Trey Wood continues the recent trend of almost weekly Madness parts, this one for Thrasher.
A great minute of Jedd McKenzie from a few weeks back.
Ace Pelka’s latest part for Madness, plus a bonus, his To Kingdom Kerb part!
Paid Subscribers can also check out our Thoughts On his Creative Control part from last year.
One of our earliest Extended articles focused on Madness’ Mind Trip video, which focused on a Euro tour of theirs from a few years ago… Here’s a sample.
A couple of thoughts on what makes the video great;
The use of such classic songs as the soundtrack. Obviously this comes down to personal taste and whether you think the songs have been overused etc, but for me it strikes just the right balance between providing rewatch-ability and referencing the classic Santa Cruz videos.
The various vignets of the crew between skate footage really puts across the crew rather than team vibe that some companies struggle with.
Plenty of different approaches throughout the skaters in the video, considering the more street-oriented Ace Pelka and Jake Collins weren’t on the tour.
Whoever decided to add Martino Cattaneo to the team is a genius, dude has been one of the best in Europe for such a long time now - every clip of his is golden, hopefully we’ll see plenty more from him soon!
