Glass Carousel is a great film because I saw it as beyond skateboarding. The homeless and drug addicts in L.A., the mentally ill. Greco filming that as part of his skateboarding is a look back on his addiction. The film's name alone says it as well. As a past addict it was really a great film to see and skateboarding is a sport helping me with my sobriety.
I honestly do think this film is a mediation on the lockdown and quarantine, it's impact on contemporary society, as explored through an artistic lense with the marriage of skating and filmmaking. Exploring how it's further pushed drug addiction and homelessness in this country and the mental impact. Greco has always been my favourite skater (alongside Kirchart), and he's further securing that spot with these cinematic art pieces. Hope you guys get him on the show very soon!
I believe that this video also was showing how bad drugs/homelessness is in downtown LA. With the constant showing of him skating around a bunch of homeless people and then cutting to clips of someone smoking meth/crack i believe there was a bigger meaning to this part than just the skating.
I swear, I was homeless at the time, Greco was filming this in downtown, and I was watching but I was walking overpass the bridge and dropped a banana slice off it, and it like hit Greco. He started yelling out explicative at me lol
Waiting for the back 360 50 to back 360 out. He’s got it ol glue foot Grecs. My only issue is the filmer needs filmer soft big wheels. The skating is super loud on tile lol

These Greco videos need to be discussed beyond just the tricks done...
Missed opportunity for sure. It’s as if Martin Scorsese starting filming/directing skate videos.
And he's developed a style on those brick banks over the course of 3 projects now. Greco is on his own trip, beyond Hammer style
Need to review Grec dark slides
@@BuckC yeah his traded hammers for bricks hahaha
@@BuckC way beyond his youth time style. now its a full blown artform and perfection
Not too mention he did all of this after that back injury

greatest skate video ever so beyond innovative
Jim’s become one of my favorites. Love his films. Great skateboarding and styles. Been killing it since early 90’s
I like the blank board. No distractions.
Pure Gonz vibes on this one
Absolutely Gonz early 90's vibes!
@@typicalskateboarder3295 particularly with the jazz too. Love it
When they said Marc, I thought they meant him.
Top 5 video parts of 2020 , maybe of all time tbh
He's skating his last Supra shoe which were the Greco loafers.
Jim has the best style of any skater
I miss Supra so much. I had almost every Greco shoe. I wore them to a wedding once.
I loved this part. Grecs is the man
My favorite skater ever
1:26 I’d be pumped af too. Jeron, you’re the man.
Those banks are not "fun" they are punishingly brutal and hard as f to skate...mad props to Grecco.
Glass Carousel is amazing

Reflecting back on his addiction.
Aren't those his last supra loafers that came out?

He skating slip on Supra’s and is board is this new thing he’s starting n bakerboys
This makes me so happy
Andy Anderson: Skateboarding. 🌹🛹🌹
What does that kook have to do with Jim?
OGs are always at the top ....
That’s spot it not a spot!!! They’re not quarter pipes it’s hard to rock fakie on it!
Mark vibes yes, but more so Gonzales than Johnson in my opinion.
I was thinking Gonzales as well
What shoes is he skating?
Black ones.
Priceless
Jobs never was like a piece of fine art not surprised this film was just as good
In 94' I was like who signing my sweatshirt next to tonys autograph lol. Still have it hopefully his autograph got better like his skating
Waiting for the back 360 50 to back 360 out. He’s got it ol glue foot Grecs. My only issue is the filmer needs filmer soft big wheels. The skating is super loud on tile lol
Did R-Bag upload his consciousness to one of the computers or what's going on? Haven't seen him in ages!
Nine club X Jim Greco interview please
need to get my hands on some of those shoes or some like them
Across from city hall he smashed most of that area in one video. (But not it all). Area has many spots.
When this came out I watched it and commented on his post saying you are the new Mark Gonzalez. Then you guys said it has the MG vibe
they were saying he looked like marc johnson not MG
Amazing 🤯
2:32 the hammers.
thank you
Has Greco ever been on the 9 club?
Not yet... Still waiting for it.
the best
What the exact location of this brick plaza? please someone tell me im not from Cali lol
Greco is a god who sits on mount Olympus of skateboarding
Get Greco on
Andy Anderson Powell perelta next
Jem bricko
Greco came up skating this spot: jalopnik.com/connecticuts-ghost-parking-lot-5665629
Ask him about CT and it's pizza!!
He looks more like Jason Lee than Mark when skating
They were talking about Marc Johnson, but I definitely thought they were talking about Gonz too.
Can’t do that with a 85 I guess.
I had atleast 15 pairs of krew pants
Same. I had a ridiculous amount of Supra Hammers too.
Will they talk about Godspeed ??
This episode came out a day before the video dropped. Im sure theyll cover it next week
