Baco 9
30 minutes
The latest installment of the Props video series has more of what you've come to expect from them: girls, party footage, drunken antics ... and some riding, too. There's lots of skatepark (indoor, outdoor, and cement) and street footage, as well as a decent amount of flatland. Strangely, barely any dirt riding (not that I was missing it).
The flatland is supplied by Chad DeGroot, Dylan Worsley, and Kerry Gatt. Though there's not an abundance of it, the flat footage in Baco 9 is guaranteed to impress (or depress) the hell out of you. The park and street stuff is nothing short of amazing — we're getting to the point in riding where the real tricks are starting to resemble video game-style tricks. (Dave Friemuth's lip tricks alone will floor you.) And of course you'll get several Baco-patented "first we'll show you him crashing, then we'll show you him hitting it" shots.
There's a bit of Super Greg cutting up the wheels of steel, and you'll also see a drunken Andrew Faris sticking a condom up his nose, plus bonus footage of him acting like an idiot. As always, the soundtrack is quite an interesting mix, and is often as memorable as the riding itself. Fatboy Slim, Diana Ross, The Who, Skid Row, Beastie Boys — you might not like some of it, but it always works.
