Honest, Abe throws down some mean moves in this sponsor me clip, but its feature film length could have used a little pruning. Sponsor me clips should be a minute or two long, tops, yet chock-full of flowing lines and style and sick tricks--all peppered with a few bangers. If you have a few clips of the same trick at different spots, pick the best one, don’t use all of them. Also, in skate videos in general, the short-cut "trick-trick-trick-trick" editing style gets kind of old. Some original music to help mosey things along doesn't hurt, either.
That said, Abe has some sick footage in this clip. I liked seeing some creativity with the 360 flip footplant on the bank-to-wall, and not too many people can nail a Cab kickflip down stairs--Abe stomped one down an eight-set! And he appropriately closed the video with a banger: a switch frontside bigspin heelflip. Thanks for sending in your clip, Abe Olague. Let's not be vague: you just earned yourself a free pair of Emerica shoes!--Jet Ski and Post King

cool
Hahaha, hey i know this guy! Emerica, your dumb for not flowing him.
the filmers hand in front of the camera after a trick got really annoying
yeah...why are filmers always doing that ?
this sucks he should be on the emerica flow team at least
you put your hand in front of your lens so that when you reveiw the footage, you know when they landed something.
cool
this guy should deff. be flow. i mean. this video was better than alex gourdous and he got flow! whats up with that? well anyways this kid will get on another team. he's too good not to be seen.
yo thats pretty cool
that switch big heel off chino 4 was my trick
i didn't know someone else had done it too
hes good though
I can`t believe .....Flow this guy he is amazing so big and clean tricks !!! Man come in Europe you will be sponsored by big skateboard company and they gonna pay you \m/
Come on he's good!
thats freakin sick
WOW this kid should be on the team fo sho
abe davila is better
your guys should of put him on flow team
most defenitely should have flowed him.
HES SICK AND REALLY TECH HE WORKED FOR THEM SHOES
wow man that first trick was huge and legit this guy should be flowed yo
na he isnt that good for flow but he is good though...
you have to be dumb as shit to not flow him...
well good job, you just passed up a great opportunity...
hes got those nollie howards
If I were this guy, I would praise myself out of how good I am! I would say "I should be flow"! Fa show! yo
this dude was sick but he wasnt as good as alex goro, i dno wot made u guys think that, goros hell boss
this has got to be the worst skating i have ever seen!! take notice of the fake steeze after every trick and how mexican he look's. Gross gross gross...
shit u guys at emerica must be pretty strict cuz this dude was hella good
Wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much wack shit, but he should get flowed for some of those hams
haahah
i just realized
me and abe both used to ride for the same company a few years back
damn...
That was sickist video so far !!! I want to play that kid in skate !!!
That was the sickist video so far !!!
man this guy is waaaaaay good, emerica, call him back and flow him shoes.
No offense but just because the edit was shit and no music doesn't mean you have to look beyond the raw talent.
He is the best so far.
Landing amazing tricks.
FLOWWOWOOWOWOW
this kid was really good not the best style but has potenial
this guys fucking rips...hammers hammers hammers..better got your eye on this kid emerica.
the hand in front of the camera tells if the video is good or not. fist means its bad and a half a fist or something like that means its sketchy
idk something like that but this dude is fucking beast deff sposorship you now one of my favorite skaters
chris barth is better....
Abe, keep sending in videos. Emerica, keep your eye on this kid.
You guys r so dumb how r they gunna put him flow... compair him to branden westage.. or any other of the flows.... he blows compaired to them,,, but give him a couple of years and that boy will have to many spon
sers to count....
it was really long with some of the same tricks, but im pretty sure its okay for you to have your switch front big heels on lock.
and you should have deffinetly flowed him. you rarely see pros doing switch front big heels down eleven sets. and big elevens. watch a pro video part and you might get a switch front big spins. this kids a fucking nut
"renu clothing" brandon westgate is an Am not flow
He rips so hard why isnt he flowed
