[ghettosk1mer]

[thebestevernikeman]

[MelvinEncarnacion]

This video makes me smile.

[thebestevernikeman]

beast

[froggykill]

[TheLmmsm224]

not to burst your bubble or anything but the skaters in this vid are people from the philippines who went to singapore and made a skate vid ther i think it was like sum sort of vacation thats y in the end its promoting gravity games asia 2009 coz that happend in the philippines not long after this vid was posted

[yubsesperat]

[spitfire13backfired]

wow. cool .

[cph42594]

[Strange2u]

that video just simply made me smile...

god i miss being in tahoe and longboarding all summer

[SILVERFISHchannel]

0:21 dude is already practicing his boardwalking.

[hoomaniac1]

nice one gerard

[HollyTheFireNinja]

I didn't know there was a longboarding community (so to speak) in Singapore! That's pretty darn close! :D

[hoomaniac1]

they're filipinos.

[TeamFunkapotamus]

gnar! love the tone and transitions.

[martzgee]

cool video! Three cheers for longboards manila, philippines, singapore and last but not least.. Loaded Newsletter! Thanks Guys! :)

[Mowg1i916]

thanks bro been waiting tooo long for this song LOL

[paolapaolapaola]

The song's title is " Shape shifter" by a FILIPINO band called "Taken by cars" , Mowg1i916

[Iamgodorjesus]

just a thought, I'd have to call what they're doing... "Shred" :D

[14ledge]

one of my all time favs

[loaferbutt]

beast.

[harpervallypta]

the tricks are referred to as flatland or flatlanding

[iAreGonEatYou]

what type of longboarding is the one with the tricks? and a little bit of slideS?

[Sidewalkesurfers]

loaded dervish

[iAreGonEatYou]

ok thanks. i meant like what type of longboarding are they doing. like freestyle or speed? im lost on that

[longboardsmanila]

pretty much everything that isn't between 3:22 and 3:35 is free style and free riding (i.e. dancing, sliding, the stuff they do when they pick up the board and jump back on it, etc.).

3:22 - 3:35, when they're in a full tuck, is speedboarding.

[forreforre]

i think the correct term would be "Longboarding with tricks, and a little bit of slides."

[MegaFriend420]

This shit dont sound like Filipinos because this shit is from cebu. lol

[youngplainjuan]

cebu IS part of philippines.

[Mowg1i916]

yo was the name of this song? nice to skate to. but this shit dont sound philipino hahaha

[shiragetsu8]

btw..the shirt MNL means manila in the philippines...and the music is from the phil also...so yeah

[thecookiemonster0]

btw: ts called the merlion

[thecookiemonster0]

AWESOME! I used to live in Singapore but then I moved so ya, its pretty kool to see some old sights

[shiragetsu8]

guys..this guys are filipinos not singaporean...

[aintgotaname]

could be, but check the white lionhead statue at 4.18 That statue is located in Singapore, check google or something ;)

[shiragetsu8]

dude...this guys are from the philippines who came to singapore to longboard and stuff ;)

[luigi33333]

still filipinos

[elive626]

totally enjoyable to watch !!! A+++ for you guys !

[Hami1080]

is it hard to have style on a longboard?

[2f2fbattlepope]

It can be pretty difficult

[paolapaolapaola]

Dude these guys are Filipino. Represent, bitches =))

[freevidio]

Singapore longboreduh

[pandakabob]

Im surprised they let you ride and film in that mall!

But Singapore looks nice from a dancer i bet.

Man... youre just too good pare!

Making me feel even more proud to be a Pinoy! :3

[driftwoodlocalent]

longboarding in the Philippine islands is stronger and faster than ever but it will only be a good thing if it bring us people together. wave your flag, check the reason why you ride and there are more things on the sides than just going fast. acknowledgments to our brothers who represent this aspect of our sport. Great job. There is no existence without co-existence. spread the message.

check out - Sikad Siquijor and Siquijor Trick to see what the community in the south is up to

[hidefexperience]

like the song man! cool vid! \m/

[TheRaccoonTamer]

haha, was he bombing on a dancer?!

[14ledge]

I have accepted you in my heart.

[gochloego333]

awesome video

[freevidio]

Yup totally awesome! Too bad not many sg lb-ers are into cruising/dancing. They find it too mellow.Personally i think It takes skills and creativiity to master the tricks man.

[parkourmormon]

what's an sg lb-er?

[urabummer]

singapore longboarder.

[oscarperk]

singapore longboarder

[urabummer]

to each his own. i still prefer downhill, before longboarding got popular through youtube.

[freevidio]

>nebula: shout shout

[RawrThinkFast]

probobly the best loaded video i have seen.

[14ledge]

I Agree

[Meloen5]

this video makes me want to buy a dancer and an apex 37...(I know it was a dervish in the vid, but I like the apex more...)

[rh8112a]

did someone say they like the apex better than the dervish?

[Meloen5]

yes...

[hspolomo18]

super chill and super sick man : ) that was awesome. one of the best I've seen in a while.

[supdudeimkris]

you know what's great about longboarding in other countries? is that if you longboard around a crowded place here in the philippines, people stare at you like you're an idiot...creeps me out sometimes but yeah great riding guys, i been in the exact spots you guys were at in orchard, but i forgot to go to the skatepark lols, i did that just this summer man

[boarderlongjohn]

I just love you guys!

You have such a smooth style.

The vibe of the vid is super chill!

[ogdew1712]

4:12 is sick

[jadevincent89]

[nebula524]

[megballs1920]

[fbryank]

Shapeshifter. :)

[lazarus2132]

there's no better feeling than pedestrian slalom at Orchard :)

next up Malaysia?

[gravitygamesasia]

Lazarus, my man, we will keep you posted. Been coordinating with Abdil for a visit soon. A lot of DH runs apparently so maybe something a bit different next time. Still really busy right now preparing for the August 1 Games in subic, but we will keep you posted.

[lazarus213]

yeah man, Abdil's been updating me on your talks, we're excited for you guys to come over! And needless to say, we're incredibly jealous of the scene you guys have got going on over there in the Phils!

[chrysfernandez]

galing! i've lived in this city (SG) for 4 years now and i recognize most places you skated -- but it's nice to see them through longboard eyes :) was that downhill on mt faber?

[bennyhawkins]

Gerard you are steadily becoming my favorite loaded 'ambassador' to watch, or loaded rider for that matter. Wish they'd give you the full status already....best dancing style other than adam C. IMO

[HappyHurpesPro]

Sick spot, and sick riding and filming.

[hipppiman]

Sick shots guys, Keep it up.

[xxxcurvy]

[blackkatzzz]

[fbryank]

Taken by Cars will be playing at this year's Bay Beats Music Festival at The Esplanade (Singapore) on August 29. Hope to see you guys there! :)

[jazzicallytuned]

[JorelleM]

This is the best video of dancing that I've seen. Filipino Pride! If you read this, you guys have an amazing and superfluous style than is unrivaled by far. Hope to have the pleasure of skating with you when I come down to the Philippines in 2012!
