Thoughts On: Brent Atchley's Elementality Part
Following on from Brent Atchley’s excellent new part for Satori, we decided to rewatch his breakout part in Element’s Elementality video.
The intro sets us up with Brent rolling down his driveway, ollie-ing up a kerb on a bridge, taking a patented frontside ollie to one of Burnside’s pillars ending with a Ray Barbee-esque no comply revert to close it out. This low-key introduction serves to set the viewers expectation of the part.
The first line in the part reflects the introduction, a chilled line around the wavey edges of an Oregonian park, beginning with one of Brent’s signature 360 flips over a bump, adding a couple of crack 180s over a jump box (everyone was began copying those after this part came out…), before he rolls into the main section of the park adding a few more traditional park tricks into it, a high speed frontside tailslide then a backside 360 over a trannied hip.
