The Seldom Scene Streetboard Video Review | Richie Greeves |

Full-length Streetboarding videos are few and far

between as the title of this video suggests. The owner

of Day one Colin Horan is the main man behind this

complex task as he has dedicated much of the last

two years forming an amazing and very complete

team of talented riders, organizing many fi lming

trips, as well as carrying out much of the fi lming and

editing himself. Seldom Scene has been fi lmed in

many different skate world hotspots such as Paris,

London, Bristol or the Mecca of Streetboarding

these days, Barcelona.

This fi lm kicks off with a smooth intro with each

rider walking around their cities. Colin Horan has

the opener which has been his long awaited part.

Colin has a good fl owing style doing tricks with

ease showing his confi dent skill which makes it a real

smooth part.

Simon Johns will reminds us of the notorious Left for

Dead, with more hammers than an ironmongers he

makes sure that handrails are still a major part of

our “sport”. The amount of rails he fi ts in over 3

minutes of footage is outstanding. Next up is Jon

white who is a technical and very creative rider. He

does never seen before tricks and has opened up a

whole new aspect of riding with multiple spin ins and

outs from tricks. Jon has a different vision of skating

than anyone else. Sam Cooke is one of the heavy

hitters who skates at high speed, doing many lines

and landing gaps with ease with a unique style that

never ceases to amaze. Without a shadow of doubt

he is up there with the elite group of riders.

Eric Brun is the up and coming Streetboarding

prodigy, raising the stylometre to new heights, every

trick perfectly landed without even winding down

any windows. Mainly fi lmed in Barcelona, he has a

big array of pretzels and spin-outs from rails. It is his

best section he has made to date.

Jay Nowman has achieved legendary status for his

work in Streetboarding and his part shows that he is

on par on the riding front. It is a truly well thought

out part mixing big rails with some of the best tech

tricks out there. His section has more energy than a

hyperactive child on an overdose of red bull.

All in all this video has an remarkable fl ow to it with

every angle of street covered, the editing matches

up to the high standard of the team with a great mix

of different genres of music.

This video in years to come will be considered a

classic up there with the best of the best.

Let’s hope that the scene is less seldom with more

releases from the major Streetboarding brands and

companies that will only serve to improve popularity

and professionalism. We all can refer to this DVD as

a bench mark for future videos.
