Texas Skate Series: Dallas, Edit by Kristian Payne

Dallas Texas was the 5th stop of the Texas Skate Series. After the first spot in Denton, Tx, we headed to the second spot where we were kicked out and then followed by the police to the back up second spot.
After being told we were not allowed to hold the event and being followed by the cop again all the way back to a near by skate park, we decided it was time to leave Denton.
Therefore, the not so Dallas comp in Denton, turned back into the Dallas comp as we headed south for the final spot: “Carolton Kink”.
Overall the comp was fun and a lot of crazy things went down. Big thanks to everyone who came out and supported and congratulations to Mason, John and Russell for taking the top three spots.
Music: “Sin City” and “To the World” off of Kanye West’s new production, Cruel Summer.
Cameras: Panasonic Hvx200a, Canon t3i, Canon 60d.

TX skaters are so damn good. On another note….. that “music” was fucking BRUTAL! Out of all the music in the world the editor choose to pick the WORST Kanye West song I have ever heard in my entire life! Couldn’t have picked a worse song to showcase such an amazing looking competition. Didn’t fit at all. Sorry

I simply do not care about what anyone thinks of my music selection. Honestly, no fucks given.
September 24th, 2012 at 9:02 am
what the fuck do you eat in dallas :D???
these guys are awesome!!!
SICK skating, sick edit!!!
September 24th, 2012 at 9:04 am
Soon as I see it’s Texas I know who’s winning. Mason is such a killer!
Have to agree with the first post though, that music was fucking awful. Didn’t fit at all. That first verse.. Was that an attempt at rapping?
I wouldn’t normally insult someone’s music selection but that definitely made the edit worse for me.
@Kristian, your “no fucks given” attitude is immature and counter-productive. Surely you want as many people as possible to watch and enjoy your edit.

The level of tricks on that last kink spot was ridiculous. So many great bladers from this area. Loved it and I look forward to more from Kristian Payne.
September 24th, 2012 at 9:31 am
Didn’t notice the music coz the kink rail destruction was so epic. Seriously never seen a kink rail skated in a comp like that ever before. So many crazy tricks, mad props to all concerned. WOW
September 24th, 2012 at 10:07 am
swag on deck, Texas is the new Cali! Music complantes are wack, when A video is posted where thousands of people are going to see it, it doesnt matter what the song is, not everyone is going to like it
September 24th, 2012 at 10:10 am
DAMN YOU TEXAS BOIS ARE CRAZY ON THAT DAMN KINK RAIL. AND WHAT A PERFECT DITCH SPOT. RUSSELL DAY HELD IT DOWN FOR CALIFORNIA THOUGH PRETTY WELL!
September 24th, 2012 at 10:11 am

September 24th, 2012 at 10:13 am
damn i hope fritz’s head is ok, #ilovekanyewest song was sick. love from alabama in da haus
September 24th, 2012 at 10:16 am
I hate roller news haters. Stupid anonymous douche bags. Good edit Kristian, I didn’t like the song but thats mainly because I don’t listen to rap. Doesn’t mean I’m going to be Mr. Critic and tell you how much it went or not. Good stuff, keep it coming.
September 24th, 2012 at 10:21 am
These comps remind me of IMYTA, nothing but people throwing crazy tricks… YEAH!!!!! SWAGYOLO420SMOKEDATDROYADIG

I always knew Mason was a boss .. Texas goes hard .. maybe its the warm weather year round helps them practicing. i dont know but they are sick as fuck. and its sick to see the texas og’s making a come back.
September 24th, 2012 at 1:37 pm
fuck!! those last trick where insane!!
September 24th, 2012 at 3:05 pm
Really good edit and really G.O.O.D. music. see what I did there ;D
September 24th, 2012 at 4:35 pm
I get pumped everytime I see J. Sullivan still killin shit
September 24th, 2012 at 4:43 pm
good comp. TX reps.
September 24th, 2012 at 5:59 pm
Was not expecting that level of skating! Some really good tricks in there. Everyone killed it.
September 24th, 2012 at 6:53 pm
Kristian your edits are always sick to me. Texas blading always holds it down. seriously who gives a fuck about the music. at the end of the day, the comp went down. Fritz your the man! Get well soon.
for those “music” critics out there kristian literally made this edit the following day. He knows there were a few errors but I know he also knows what he’s doing when it comes to filming and editing. Just watch any of his other edits.
Russell thanks for coming out and laying shit down for Cali.
Hopefully next year we can get bigger crowds, more skaters, more sponsors and more prize money. this was the first year of the Texas Skate Series. We will learn from the mistakes and only make it better. Be looking out for the TSS Finals which i believe will be back in Austin, TX.
September 24th, 2012 at 7:36 pm
Well said Gino Gotelli, were there any sponsors for this event at all? ^
September 24th, 2012 at 8:26 pm
Was I the only one waiting for someone to grind the rail up and down at the first spot?
September 24th, 2012 at 9:50 pm
Sick edit, sick comp but this:
“Couldn’t have picked a worse song to showcase such an amazing looking competition. Didn’t fit at all.”
September 24th, 2012 at 11:53 pm
I heard the up rail got tore up at the 1st spot yet there were no clips in this edit from it. Supposedly lots of good shit was missed.
90% of comp edits suck because people are soo concerned with getting shit out so fast instead of taking their time and collaborating and getting all the best clips and putting out 1 or 2 solid edits.
“I simply do not care about what anyone thinks of my music selection. Honestly, no fucks given.”
^ seriously?? grow up kid. And yeah, the music was awful. Did not go at all with the skating.
September 25th, 2012 at 12:29 am
In response to BIG DICK BANDIT; I think a total of 3 tricks were successfully landed on that rail. Also, I collaborated with 3 other filmers besides myself which is depicted in the credits on Vimeo. No growing up necessary, and by calling me a kid doesn’t make you some sort of dominate figure. I make edits because it is what I love to do, truly, and could care less if not everyone in the entire world agrees with the song I use or not. You put your name as “big dick bandit”, I think you are the one that needs to grow up. You are the epitome of a “roller news hater” that literally everyone hates.
September 25th, 2012 at 1:52 am
You HEARD the rail got tore up? Well you’re obviously a closet hater from Texas otherwise you wouldn’t have heard shit. Kristian is right, not much went down on that rail and he got plenty of contributions for the edit. Clips get missed, it happens. The best tricks are in this edit..that’s what matters.
September 25th, 2012 at 2:05 am
that was crazy sick. tricks were blowing my mind so much i didn’t even notice the music
1,000x better than that NYC “Street” shit
September 25th, 2012 at 5:28 am
Good skating, average edit.
First 3 mins got a bit boring, but that’s the price you pay with the first spot in most comp edits.
September 25th, 2012 at 6:58 am
I wish I could click “LIKE” on comments here
September 25th, 2012 at 2:27 pm
worst song ever. did not fit with skating at all. i mean do you really think that went with the skating Kristian? If so you should get your ears checked or stop making edits. just give the footage to someone who can make the skating look that much better and actually shine with some epic music.
September 25th, 2012 at 3:29 pm
Props to Kristian. Edit was Dope, Music was good. The Texas Blade Scene is unreal.
September 25th, 2012 at 4:54 pm
yah blood i couldnt force myself to finish the edit that song just got too much
lonestar niggas git down tho.. dont let the shitty music distinguish otherwise yall
September 25th, 2012 at 5:24 pm
my ears are bleeding! That “song” is awful.
September 25th, 2012 at 6:00 pm
The song is from an album that is ranked number 1 on itunes right now. obviously can’t be that bad of a song. sure, maybe it didn’t go with the skating but to make some ones ears bleed is a little over the top.
September 25th, 2012 at 6:54 pm
The up rail was in a really bad spot. I wish somebody wolud’ve filmed my topsoul up 360 topsoul down. We’re definitly holdin it down here in Tejas. So many bladers on the rise. Who gives a shit what song he used; Kristian, this was your best edit yet and I can’t wait for Texas Blading. All you mo’fos better buy that shit when it drops. Texas Represent daggies!
September 25th, 2012 at 7:11 pm
the level of skating was so good i didn’t even notice the song until i read the comments…
so it seems to me that y’all are paying attention to the wrong things. As far as edits go he timed it to the music, cut it appropriately and mixed it well. Maybe the song wasn’t your thing but honestly if Randy Spizer can skate to the Spice Girls i dont really see what the big deal is. Everyone has guilty music pleasures, so deal it with.
Good edit Kristian keep it up!!!
And Props to all that donated to put out a quality edit!
September 26th, 2012 at 1:59 am
Dallas first time seeing any footage from there. These guys are SICK!!! 1st time seeing switch up tricks of that nature at a comp, and much less a kink rail. WOWZER!!!
September 26th, 2012 at 2:23 am

AND I AINT TALKIN’ BOUT DA TRICK PLAYA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BOOM
