You only hear the sound of the wheels. Just so sick
Hanus
Love that klop....klop on each land.
The original ASMR
I love the sound of rolling wheels 99a
no music was definitely a good choice for that it was just perfect. Even just the sound of people walking by talking makes this even cooler
Say Hanus without the H
I love how the final line was presented as one long, continuous shot with no music laid over it; hearing all the raw sounds of wheels on concrete and acoustic pops you can feel the sustained tension and smell the thick city night air. He exemplifies a true professional skateboarder, calm, cool, focused, collected, and disciplined. Just outstanding
Hearing the sounds of the city.
The sole sound of the wheels on the smooth concrete just makes something click in my brain which makes me think “woah this is gnarly”
gayhaifa you sound like my English teacher
my thoughts exactly
aight bro you didn't have to sound like you were taking an english exam
Imagine finally nailing this line after god knows how many tries and the filmer hits a pebble
Jack Song miles did it and then fucked up pivoting at the end, like wtf?
Jack Song RIP
@@df3kt well he did to a switch back 50 then instead of a switch back tail though right? the backtail was way better anyways
@putsome basilonit that's actually happend to me.. Had to do everything all over in just a couple of weeks..
Soft wheels
“Listen dude....camera wasnt rolling...”
Owh... :)
I’ve seen this quote a lot
i would end my career right then and there.
i woulda smashed my camera and said the sd card is broken
Absolutely nothing compared to this but one of my fav lines I did back in the day my friend had the fucking lens cap on the entire time. I gave him shit for that for a long time.
This is what i imagine skating is like when im finally good
Yeah, that is exactly what the finished product is selling. Something so difficult done perfectly as if it's just a natural night out where he's using a board as transportation. The reality is the rest of the video. Kind of sad really, but the finished product is beautiful.
Are you good yet?
Grayson Patnode I was going to say the same thing lmao
AimTech we wanna know!
@@McDanMan84 Fuck no XD im trash but still on that grind i guess...
It’s like the line is Miles long...
I’ll get me coat.
Haikala ya.. he went for gold not Silva..
The both of you made my fucking day lol!
Look at the Silva lining, they could have been robbed, even though they're just a couple of Miles from the hood.
What the fuck does this mean
oh my god yeah here's your damn coat LOL
The amount of insane work that took was incredible. My favorite of this series so far.
Holy shit bro it's fucking cruxal.
999
are you good yet
grim???? nani!?
weird to think i went to school with this guy now he’s on thrasher. congrats man
chuck change didn't he go to Bella vista
What... you thought the stork drops all these talents right where they stand ?
Weird humble brag too.
@chuck change Aren't you special? Do you feel special? You should feel special.
you probably never even talked to the guy.
Everyone hating on the guy relax lmao. I wouldn't even call that a brag because of the way he said it.
The average skater can’t even comprehend how difficult it is to put all those tricks together. Most won’t make it past the first 4 tricks without a battle
I use to pull lines when I was young , it takes lots of practice and commitment and fitness . Good on him
As an average skater I can tell you the fact that I could barely do any 3 of these in a row is EXACTLY why I DO understand how hard it is.
I'm so stuffed after 3 or 4, his endurance, physical and mental would have to be high.
For sure , he practiced the line a few times with the same tricks . Muscle memory is why this is possible . Mostly confidence is the key
Tray flips not the hardest trick , that 360 shovit is where I might fucked up and that switch heel over the bin for sure lol
This looks like it was pulled straight out a movie. So sick.
police academy 24 (4th movie had like, hawk, caballero, mcgilll, Lance, basically half the fuckin bones brigade)
It would make a sick ass opening scene for a movie about some LA sh¡t
@@sandhanitizer15fr
So nobody has picked up that trash can since 1989?
:D HAHAHA :D
No
aHahA
Lol
Of course not its LA bro lol
This guy is chill as fuck, never seen him freak out, props to his patience
I find this hard to believe
what the fuck
He threw his board after falling over the trash can bc the kid walking that wasnt really in his way distracted him lol
most people wouldnt have been able to put together the frontside 180 and trey without blowing a gasket with how populated this area dude, did you see how chill he was in this vid? The guy already has an insanely loose style, and thats considering all the tries it took!
right
I know its irrelevant but the fact that i didnt know if he was goofy or regular because of how good he was amazed me😮
nah you just didn't know whether he was goofy or regular
nah miles decided to question goofy or regular when he was born
So much had to happen for that line. The pedestrians, cars, cameraman, Miles, cracks, rocks, and just a big mind game the whole time. Very cool idea!
Being from LA, I’ve skated down this path a few times and I had always thought “this path would be perfect for a long line” but I never thought anyone could do it. Multiple blocks with multiple errors possible; the fact that he did it and was able to capture all these spots is incredible. Congrats Miles
Stay tuned for my installment of My War: flat ground Nollie flip
Skating the city at night and hitting spots along the way: the best. And gotta give credit where credit is due: major props to the filmer for thinking of the idea. Of course props to Silvas too, amazingly smooth style. Damn this shit makes me feel nostalgic for when my knees were still working properly!
4 days? 4 DAYS?! The line itself was superhuman, but it only took 4 days to get it done?
Shit is insane. I would have jumped into a bush, shit myself and started crying on hour 2 of day 1.
GWPN hahahah WTF
Yea imagine how frustrating it must have been doing that for 4 days. Especially because there are so many things that can go wrong. Then you have to go all the way back walk down the stairs then walk back up them and then start.
Nothing in the line is inherently crazy but the fact that it’s all one take makes it right on par with the craziest parts out there.
Absolutely legendary. Definitely one of the most insane things ever done with skateboarding .
I like it without the music
Derty Hairy why?
lauro delima it gives it more of a real feel. You don't hear music as your skating...just the wheels/trucks and concrete. Doesn't need music.
Same. The music over all skating pretty much ruins it. Bit like a good porn movie I guess.
Mike Anderson I dunno. As a very music related person, the music adds so much. You add a skater pink soundtrack to the song, it’s angry, it’s wild, it’s sick. You add a lofi track, is calm, effortless, relaxing. Add a hiphop track, it’s cool, it’s rad, it’s impressive. Add a nice guitar track like they did, it sort of has this nice riff but builds hella tension.
it’s blu I agree, there’s artistic value in both of those versions, with/without music. I enjoyed both for their own reasons, it all depends on how you want to express it. Skateboarding is an art form.
well Gary is going to be shooketh
Diego Megi trueth
i love how at the end while miles was walking down the stairs no one said anything then when he got to the bottom everyone started celebrating, thats what i love about the skateboarding community and that why im proud to be a part of it
I can't put my finger on it, but there was something about this video that was particularly beautiful and evoked an emotion in me that I don't usually get from too many skateboarding videos. This is really something special.
This clip shows just how hard skateboarding really is. To be consistent is insanely hard
And I know no one will ever see this one a 3+ year old skateboarding video but i want you to at least appreciate the opening cinematography. It’s almost like a child emerging from a womb with a board in their hand. Looking at it, hand flipping it, hand grinding it to see what’s possible, looking back at it and having the confidence to throw it down.
Imagine if he arrived to the other metro station and failed picking the board up
Augustin Muresan imagine if he tripped on the LAST set of stairs at the metro..
I would have played it off and kept going lol. Fuck it, change the script at the end right then and there
That would make it better lol
Especially for this type of presentation, it shows all of his trials and errors and he finally nails and it trips on a stair because of excitement. Thats fuckin gold right there.
@@Darker.Outlook I said the same thing lol
People saying it’s lame they probably can’t push switch
there's like 15 tricks in this and you're focused on him fixing his chain?
James Scherer right
i actually did think this was lame untill i got better and realized how crazy it was i also learned to push switch lmao
I was staring at that the whole time. My guy was just cruising. Sick video
It's crazy, the switch back tail would have been good enough as a stand alone trick, and this dude does like 15 tricks before it. This line is what skateboarding is all about. Cruising down the streets and hitting obstacles on your way.
the tension was unbelievable! everyone who tried to film a line (no matter how difficult) knows about the pressure building up - but this right is here is something else 4real, cannot put this in words
As a 42 YOM, who grew up skating in the mid 90s. This may be one of the most epic lines ever done. Reminds me of Lavar McBride at EMB just going and going forever.
Its not just the skating, its a real experience of skating and feeling the ambience of LA. Im from indonesia and never know that a legendary spot is packed arround some block. This is the best skate clip i ever see in my whole life, (i watch thrasher since 2014)
I was wondering how this was made. Damn man thats so savage!! Props to Miles!
Imagine he tripped while walking down that huge set of stairs
watching this made me want to cry for some odd reason. this is amazing and the amount of time this took is unbelievable and the fact that he also had to deal with people, in the way lights cars, and all of those things make it so much harder. too incredible and will always be legendary.
The level of fitness needed to have the energy for a line this long is insane. Dude is a beast
It's like the Birdman of Skateboarding.
you mean tony hawk?
Vasectomy Fail no, like, the movie.
DanielBx he never said it was, he just used a m9re commonly known title
Or the unexpected virtue of silvas
DanielBx yeah, but I feel like a Rope reference would go over most people's head nowadays.
Felt like I was watching a movie. He should have ollied that double set at the end. #boss'dUP
5:53 that tre flip and the green light 🔥
This has to be my favorite “my war” episode
Got the chills at the end man. I liked how there was no music just makes it feels more intense.
I don't understand why I see people complaining about this video/line? I would love to see any of you even attempt to do the first 5 tricks as clean as miles
right? and people crying cuz he stepped off the board... after 12 straight tricks
Preach bruddah
@560172 And yet his pro skater peers loved the video and give him props for it, but yeah it totallllyyy turned out like shit because you think so.
@560172 I mean yeah, they literally do know the most about skateboarding, as they are pro skateboarders, so I'd take their opinions on his video over someone who sucks at it
I don't even skate but for some reason I've watched like 50 skate videos during this quarantine lol...this was my favorite one.
Bro just start.
I love that they showed the raw clip of the whole line. That shit was so casual and smooth. I wish I was on this level.
Imo this is the most impressive “my war”, they’re all amazing but just the mental strain from this one is insane.
god damn, this shits over a year old and I get the same knot in my stomach like I'm watching it the first time.
Anyone else get hella Jason Dill vibes when Miles went down the stairs at JKwon Plaza?
Oh yeah bro i was even thinking only person i ever seen grab their board during a run is dill
So good!
Really shows off that part of LA in a way outsiders would never know.
So well done.
Wow! That was beautiful. Thanks for this amazing piece of art, just the sound of skating thru the night.
It’s astonishing how well he keeps his cool throughout the entire process! I would have come unglued after less than an hour!
Damn!
Nightspeeds I fuck with your channel
when a regular dude comments = 1 like (likes own comment)
when a famous youtuber comments
says dude = 200 likes
Beautiful. One of the most important runs of all time
Holding in all that tension when he was walking down the stairs till the end must have been skin peeling! I might have just started screaming behind the camera in the middle of the scene.
As a kid this is exactly how I pictured any pro skater skated when they were headed to the store or something. Beautifully done.
The perseverance is off the fucking chart. Major congrats man!
I'm coming back after the wahlenburg war posted today, just to rewatch this magic.
This is giving me anxiety
All these videos are hardwork and people love to talk mad shit about them as if they could handle the pressure. We are fortunate to see these pieces of art for free...
5:56 he gets the “green light”
Probably the best line I’ve seen. Dude was pushing switch for a minute there too. Gotta appreciate that
10:00 You can see smiling af as he goes down lmao. Well deserved, insane line
This is my favourite of the series. I adore how there is no music for the final run. Just the night and our dude on his board. So, so of the moment. True skateboarding.
Very relaxing
the video is so beautiful, the lights, the cars, the urban beauty, the absolute dead silence of the city, all you hear is the skateboard wheels and its amazing .
THAT LA ROACH THO LMAO AT 3:00
lmao was looking for a joint roach at first
yeah fuck that
Mind. Blown. 32 year old ex skateboarder. I got to the boardsliding bigish handrails, 10-12 stair gaps level. I was tripping after the little switch tre, then the crispy switch heel over the trashcan. Just nasty. Skateboarding has come so far.
The hardest part was not screaming in joy when he finally finished his line and he had to wait to go all the way back
One of the best Skatevideos i have ever seen.
The lights, the sound of the board, the filming and that easy looking style, what a nice atmosphere.
Haven't watched it yet but fucking hyped
My favorite my war. Such an uncontrollable battlefield it just totally embodies "my war"
whats the song at the beginning please ????:) so chilling and besides that one of the best my war cuts I've seen ... well done to all involved
It’s Faust by the band Agent bla
@k well it’s actually my band hehe. There isn’t any instrumental version to be found but the full song i available on Spotify. Search for Faust Agent bla
One of my favorite skateboarding footage of all time! STUNNING
But why not film it with a stabilizer :/
Easily the longest and most difficult looking line I’ve ever seen in my life 💯 mad respect. Thank you thrasher for these videos.
Lots of trolls and haters in the comments.
vawies//sluging Its okay sweetie. We will get you a whistle pop, it will make you feel better.
Tony Nguyen Average day
PantsB4Squares kek
vawies//sluging 😂
That had a beauty about it, truly timeless. Much respect 🙏
what a song?
SloY silent sloth
One of my favorite videos wow. I love that there is no background music to this. Just the sounds of him skating. So so good
My war was a 3 trick line and I wanted to give up after 30 minutes
easily one of the best lines to go down in history:)
I need the name of the background music!
It’s Faust by the band Agent bla
this moment when a skat magazine has a series called MEIN KAMPF
No that would be "my fight "
This translates to "mein krieg" which has absolutely nothing to do with hitler
I literally know nothing about skating but that was just incredible. That sound..
6:58 dude the filmer hit a rock
Im late but damn, coming into the end shot with all the prior knowledge of just how much pressure there is on every crack let alone flip trick...this is like the Free Solo of skating. He could have set up a more difficult trick selection in fragments but imho unbroken street skating is truly in its own category. Cant even imagine..... Stoked
jesus Guy was the wrong guy to interview on this one lmao
I had a moment of silence for this man. Finally the moment all one take one shot one kill. I'm not a skater but I definitely appreciate this channel and especially this episode. Respect from canada
I woulda just smashed that out in a couple hours and had my homie splice the footage together 😂😂
Literally my favorite video of all time
i clicked on this so fast
This guy is so sick! Shit like this reminds me of why I started skating in the first place when I was 14 I haven't skated in like 4 years but am getting back into it now that I'm 19 I still feel like how I did when I was a kid!!
Imagine if he fell on the last step
I'm really good friends with Miles, so good to see him being good at skateboarding tricks.
john Jones sure buddy
@@ryancarter129 you wanna be buds too?
felt more like a commercial for adidas
it is
all skate vids are commercials for the companys that put them out, the only exception being homie videos
This gets better every time I watch it :)
When your on hardcore difficulty in skate 3
Probably my favorite My War of the whole series...
Didn't ollie the stairs at the end, 0/10
Taylor Jones 😂
Dude a little piece of me died inside when he picked up his board to walk down such a beautiful set... Still great line but could of been sooooo much better if he'd even just ollied the set :/
Maka Laka yeah
That's a big ass Ollie to work into the 30-40 attempts at such a long line.
My god the most beautiful clip I've ever seen.
They should have used a gimble
might have been too heavy to carry for a 7 minute line. i don't think there are even 7 minute steady cam shots in feature films where they aren't following a skater for blocks and blocks
True
bet it would have looked really nice on a dji osmo like those little tiny hand held gimbals. they actually look pretty good. I wonder if he had any stabilization ? seemed pretty good if not he must have had a decently wide lens then if not.
This video should go in a museum and be the official video of Skateboarding.
so what defines a line again? this is more of a one-shot skate cruise, got off his board like 4 times.
