April 13th, 2008 at 5:26 pm
JAke dotson reminds me of Rob Thompson a bit when he grinds rails.
But yeh defo ROBOTS
April 13th, 2008 at 5:31 pm
jake dotson for the win
April 13th, 2008 at 5:32 pm
Both are good but I vote for Dotson…
April 13th, 2008 at 5:34 pm
easily the best two entrants so far!! easy top contenders (Y)
April 13th, 2008 at 6:59 pm
i think jeremy soderburg should still win
April 13th, 2008 at 7:39 pm
Soderburg for win.
April 13th, 2008 at 7:54 pm
Agreed… ROBOTS!!!!!!!!
If Aragon and JC Rowe had a love child, I think it would tun out somewhat like Jake Dotson.
April 13th, 2008 at 8:08 pm
soderbourg and dotson are soo sick
April 13th, 2008 at 8:39 pm
good job scott…sick section brosef
April 13th, 2008 at 8:48 pm
jake dotson is simply amazing. and so is scotty2hyphy
April 13th, 2008 at 9:01 pm
both were really good
April 13th, 2008 at 9:07 pm
scotty2hyphy?! what the fuck is that shit.. hes not even from the bay.. get your own style you fuck
April 13th, 2008 at 9:09 pm
i agree with “ajh3″ why the fuck you biting on the bay?!
we all know you know NOTHING ABOUT THE BAY
April 13th, 2008 at 9:15 pm
jake dotson for the win 100% he killed jeremy.
April 13th, 2008 at 9:16 pm
Dotson-hands down
+5 for the MF DOOM.
April 13th, 2008 at 9:29 pm
We have a winner. I was hoping that Jake would enter, me and my friend were saying the other day if him or sneaky entered they would win. Switch hurricane topsoul is a winner in anyones book.
April 13th, 2008 at 9:34 pm
scott should be really proud of that section. shame jake entered the comp too otherwise u would have won
April 13th, 2008 at 9:40 pm
spin to win
April 13th, 2008 at 11:12 pm
i say jakes is better then anyone elses but it still wasnt that good no stunts really and all small rails and the the big rail he came off farside
April 14th, 2008 at 1:13 am
My vote still goes to Jeremy Soderburg. This kid is super sick. If you didn’t know, Jeremy edited his section. Plus this footage didn’t even begin to scratch the surface of his skating skills. This was just a little teaser. He has so much more new footage its ridiculous. Once again, I truly belive / know that Jeremy fits the Franco Shade family. He will represent the company 200% and will also help create the buzz / brand awareness. Good luck again and I hope you win.
April 14th, 2008 at 5:11 am
so scott doesnt live in the bay……its just a nickname……honestly u kids are wack…….guaranteed he can out skate u….
April 14th, 2008 at 5:25 am
I am so sick of all these kids who spin this and spin that I would rather watch one solid trick done well with style than a tazmanian devil spinning tap dancer Scott or Jeremy should win hands down Jeremy is brings a unique but great style to skating and he skates some cool creative shit too and scott has more variety than jake dotson to me jake dotsons skating is boring I see it everywhere spinning this and spinning that its the new trend to learn nothing but spin tricks
April 14th, 2008 at 5:37 am
scott olsen is the winner cuz hes hot and will fuck u
April 14th, 2008 at 5:44 am
ok so basically i have skated with both these kids and know whats good, jake can do every trick scott can do both ways and probably first try, and can skate a lot a stuff. i have skated the spots scott skates and there all basic perfect spots with no difficultly level, franco needs flava not kid that looks likes a plastic bag caught in an up draft. if anything jake or jeremy should take it. and jake is like 17 and can do everything both ways
April 14th, 2008 at 5:54 am
last time i checked franco shade was stylish..
April 14th, 2008 at 5:58 am
I just re-watched all the edits that people submitted. First off, for all those kids with 3 minute edits should be disqualified. I think that’s unfair because you were supposed to turn in a 90 second edit etc. Most of the skaters that did submit are all forgetable except Jeremy Soderburg. He was memorable. I agree with LSx, Jeremy brings a unique, great style, and skates creative stuff. Jeremy is Mr. Nike / Fashion, haha. His personal lifestyle fits Franco Shade.
Peace
April 14th, 2008 at 6:26 am
so i dont usually post on here and to tell the truth was quite shocked that my edit was posted up here, but i’m really confused. first off, scotty2hyphy is just a nickname and i’ve been to the bay a few times and love the style there, thats why i love the hyphy shit and thats why people call me that. secondly, “king koopah” who are you? i have skated with MAYBE 3 people that have also skate with jake? dont get me wrong, jakes edit was amazing, but to tell the truth, most of the spots in my edit are spots that ive seen maybe 1 or 2 other clips from other people doing tricks on them if that. “franco needs flava not kid that looks likes a plastic bag caught in an up draft”? i really dont understand why people talk shit on people they dont know for no reason…
April 14th, 2008 at 7:14 am
Scott your edit was hella sick I skated with you guys when you came here to SLC but yeah jake can do some cool shit but I just like to see unique skaters and those kids from Colorado FUCKIN KILL SHIT like Zach Zem…. (however you spell his name haha) tyler and kevin carey those guys are sooooo sick I would rather watch a section from any of them than jake dotson any day of the week
btw jake’s edit does have a sick ass song I would like to know the name please
April 14th, 2008 at 7:31 am
Yo. I’ve skated with Jeremy and I’ve watched these two new edits. Jeremy by far should win. This kid never leaves the house without a pair of 300 dollar pants on, his own personalized custom made kicks and great underground music to skate to. He films a lot and is an editing guru. He’s been in at least 5 videos, Knows everyone in the industry and can kill most of the pros at a game of skate. He has switch-ups that no one can topl. Hell I’ve tried some of his easier ones and I’m still perfecting them after two years of trying..
His room is a freaking Nike shrine. He has more shoes than P. Diddy. He also has some of the freshest clothes I’ve ever seen anyone go skating in. his edit was pretty innovative and very unique. It wasn’t the same tricks.
Scott loves to do groove tricks. He had no spin tricks into anything. It’s easy to do a spin trick once your on the rail/ledge but not getting up to it.
Jake. He’s a dope rider but from what I’ve seen, he has great switch-ups, he can spin to grind but can he actually hold his balance. I mean back savy across a curvy ass handicap rail is way harder than hurricane top soul on a down rail. Fast slide across a whole rail/ledge is far harder than 3 switch-ups. Plus I’ve seen Jeremy actually do frontside fast slide across the whole coping at soutgate skatepark that’s a really long coping that curves, and he did fast slide as well as doing front savy to true-spin back savy just cause I bet he couldn’t do it.
April 14th, 2008 at 8:15 am
agreed LSx.
but scott we each have our own opinion, and what do you do on a forum, you discuss things. i would rather have two disputing sides than everyone agreeing on the same thing all the time. dont care what peopel think of your style or what ever. everyone is entitled to their own opinion no matter if they talk shit or not. and from what they have said here its barely talking “shit”. thats something most kids here need to learn. share your opinion and lets get a feel for how everyone feels about a skater or topic.
remember each person has their own different perception of things in life. everything, learn to understand that people.
April 14th, 2008 at 8:42 am
fuck just post some more edits in a couple days theres bound to be more im sure they’ll be better ive yet to see any stunts
April 14th, 2008 at 12:41 pm
Jack Dotson is pretty decent skater.
He got style, doesn t spin to much …
Looks young tho … so he got time to become someone
I don t feel the other one, … he got bad taste for ugly switch ups …
April 14th, 2008 at 2:28 pm
I mean some of the people on here are fools. This is a non contest now Dotson has entered. The other guys are really good but Jake Dotson will one day be the best skater in the world
April 14th, 2008 at 4:00 pm
however i think nobody cares of franco shade
April 14th, 2008 at 6:16 pm
While dotson may be amazing, he doesn’t fit franco shades style! NONE of the edits have fit the franco mold so far except jeremy, and don’t forget theres a ton of edits we’re not seeing.
i agree that all 3 minute edits should be disqualified. 1:30 or you’re out. make it fair for everyone.
I HAVE YET TO SEE ANYONE THAT HAS PERSONALITY/STYLE SHOTS!!!! isn’t that what FS is looking for?!
Only reason jeremy fits this mold is because people say he does. to me, it looks like he just wears plain tees and khakis. not very street wear to me, but the dreads/style of skating fit.
instead of picking one person franco should make a small team.
April 14th, 2008 at 7:26 pm
but jakes style and tricks are better than jeremys. jeremy is bo legged and lands really nastily.
April 14th, 2008 at 10:42 pm
I agree with Deniseisatwat.
Jake is good but…
1. doesn’t fit Franco at all.
2. Still hasn’t shown that he can hold a trick all by itself.
3. Jeremy does wear a lot of designer clothes look at Teach Them Well. The after party this kid was sportin some 200 dollar shoes with two chicks on his arms. Ballin..
4. Jake should be sponsored but not by Franco, but by Razor. He actually fits their team and their image.
5. Scott isn’t even in the competition. Same goes for Erik.
The personality is the key to selling more of your product. Not just when you’re on film but when you’re simply skating. When you’re out and about. All these guys may be nice guys and dope riders but what’s really good for the company. That’s a question that the Management should be asking themselves. Which rider truly embodies FS lifestyle. Dreads or no dreads. Which one speaks volumes solely by the way they carry themselves. By their outward appearance as well as inner. I Feel that Jeremy above all else has the best to give Franco shade when it comes to a rider who can be a role model as well as a spokes person for the skating community. He looks good on camera, (no homo) But he looks like an action sports star.
April 14th, 2008 at 11:19 pm
scott olsen best of the four I seen off here easy.
April 14th, 2008 at 11:42 pm
I agree with portas Best edit by far is Dotson. He doesnt have much style and he is a spin to win it kid, but hes what 17 and the amount of tricks he has you cant deny the fact when he becomes more seasoned hes going to be the next nearest thing to aragon or the closest anyone will come to being that good. Also his style isnt bad just plain. But I do somewhat agree sodeberg fits the image and his and the other edits were really good too. I like jeremys skating a lot too cause he skates different original stuff its cool and interesting and has unique style but i perfer the type of tricks jake chooses to do over budget switches thats just me
all in all best edit overall: jake. for franco: probably jeremy or jake
April 15th, 2008 at 1:58 am
That’s a fair assumption. Bossman. Jake is what 17 as you said. Jeremy is like 22 maybe. jake has some really nice switch ups and even though Jeremy didn’t show his, he actually can do all his tricks both ways and does switch ups I can’t even do on the ground while standing still. Some of these tricks that jake did are really easy but the fact that he did them on down rails made them nice tricks. I’m not gonna act like I can do those tricks on a down rail. (Maybe if I really wanted to, but I have things to do like be able to do long division and math problems, research history and such things so I’ll leave these heavy falls to you guys). However Jeremy fits the Franco Shade image, Jake has nice tricks but once it’s down to who’s a better fit, it’s gonna be Jeremy. Jake should be with [B] Unique. Those guys would be able to mold him into someone that could truly carry a line on their shoulders. Like Ramelle/Aragon/O’Neil/Kelso.
I have nothing bad to say about Any of these riders or the people commenting but I checked a few guys who made comments to other people that were very rude. This is a place to voice our opinions on the subject at hand. Not talk shit about people cause we have our identities hidden.
April 15th, 2008 at 2:48 am
well lets get it straight jake is by far better then jeremy but style is always a preference
April 15th, 2008 at 3:23 am
just wait for the Kyle Nolte franco shade edit!!! =)
should be up in a couple days ;)
April 15th, 2008 at 3:25 am
oh and btw to people who say jake is a kid who can only do spin tricks…. TOTAL bullshit. the kid can switch TTA a kink rail. any true spin or ally oop he has on lock, maybe both ways.
April 15th, 2008 at 3:26 am
also… the TTA in the edit he did on the long down rail was switch… =P
April 15th, 2008 at 7:25 am
you guys left out creativity, and innovation. whats wrong with that
April 16th, 2008 at 12:37 am
wow
April 17th, 2008 at 12:12 am
even though jake dotson kills everyone else with his trick vocab in his section. i think jeremy sodenburg fits better with the whole franco shade image. i can’t picture any of the other entries fitting that style if you catch my drift. that’s probably because i like more refined styles over roboto, except the original mr. roboto- he’s sickkk. i want to make an entry, but it probably won’t happen because i have no one to edit my shit! i’d probably lose anyway. lol. nice edits though. i like the dude who used the GLUE instrumental. very good choice of music. oh, and i’ve never met any of these cats in person otherwise that might have influenced my opinion differently. p.s. i got my tusk cardigan franco shade hoody and another franco shade t-shirt recently. Franco Shade is making the sickest designs lately. nuff said.
