Proto Scooters Throwaway.
If you can completely captivate your target audience with a throwaway video from the DVD you're filming, you know you're doing something right.
Throw out all your preconceptions of who the best team in the game is at the moment. The Proto family has that under wraps.
If you're looking for tech world firsts, consistency like no other and a level of riding miles above any team or any one, look no further.

Out of the whole video there was like 2 clips of bk.-Devlyn Martin
ReplyDeletep.s. thanks to geordie for interupting my movie and sharing this ;)
ReplyDeletesilly on so many levels
realllly can't wait to get my hands on that dvd! great variety of riders in proto that just keeps you wanting more
ReplyDeleteSooooo good.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to ride with them again
I think of this as a sneak peak of the quality of riding, filming and editing we can expect from the Pro's of the sport. Proto, thanks for making us look damn good.
ReplyDeleteAmazing riding. I adore the Proto team
ha well i guess i wasnt cool enough to be in this which leads me to believe that dylan made this.
ReplyDeletethanks dylan love ya buddy <3
Craziest fucking tech riding I've ever seen!
ReplyDelete- Johan Grunwald
dans fakie truck over pyrmid was crasssssy. and i loved dylans stuff and the rest was just amazing too
ReplyDeletethanks for posting this aaron!
ReplyDeleteLove<3
ReplyDeleteEasssy Aaron...def. overdid it on that video description..lol
ReplyDeleteWe all know Dan, Dylan, and Jon are some of the leading tech riders in the sport..and thats what this video showed. It didn't showcase the Proto Team as a whole..lol
why dont you like proto steven? we are just riding and filming and having a good time i dont understand why people that are on eagle and the associated companies have bad feelings toward us and i dont think we have ever done anything to make people mad
ReplyDeleteWhere is Steadman? But holy crap nice video.
ReplyDeleteI don't got a problem with most of the riders on Proto...lol If I did, they'd know it.
ReplyDeleteBut this video description was saying they're are without a doubt the best Team in the sport? The video doesn't show that. It doesn't even show the full Team? I love all the riders shown in this video...you already know that Dylan...don't try and start something out of nothing.
I agree with the point that it would have been nice to have everyone in the video (especially Steezman).
ReplyDeleteMaybe that means Alex and the others don't have any throwaway? Everything they have filmed is being saved 'cause it's awesome! ;)
i could watch dan and jon ride all day. good shit
ReplyDeleteehh i was going to buy the DVD but now im debating it. that was a disappointment imo
ReplyDeleteThat was really not that good it deff didn't live up to the desciption proto is old news
ReplyDeleteoh ok looks like I misunderstood
ReplyDeleteyeah aaron is definitely overdramatic with his video descriptions sometimes, i dont think erik feenstra is the peg god, and i dont think proto is without a doubt the best team, really good video though, i love the vibe proto videos always have
ReplyDeleteyes!!! definately the best team in the sport, without a doubt. i cannot wait for the DVD. i just hope they use a better song lol.
ReplyDeletelol even if the people in this video were the only people on proto.
ReplyDeletethey still would be the best team in the sport
its not everyday that people cab driver over a pyramid
somebody shave kassons beard, please god
ReplyDeletewasn't too impressed by most of it. super legit everything though, and it is just throwaway after all. i'm sure i'll get a copy of it when it comes out
ReplyDeletepersonally im glad alex steadman wasnt in this. he ruins videos with hes wannabe style and forced originality, which is, when it comes down to it, terrible riding.
ReplyDeleteholy fuck jon reyes is fucking nuts! 360 to front slider i shat my pants! and dyal kasson with hes heelwhip combos my god....
ReplyDeleteshaky filming + good camera = good filming?
ReplyDeletePeople don't understand the media.
ReplyDeleteMedia is ALL exaggeration, if it's not, you'd be doing something else.
If i described this as "Half the proto team knocking out some throwaway clips" sure, the majority of people would watch it, but there'd be people who just look at it, and say eh, throwaway, whatever.
This comment isn't saying that proto aren't the best team in the world. They pretty well just proved that they kill everyone else without the likes of BK, Chema and Steadman.
Scooter kids have to stop being so cynical, if you don't like my descriptions, don't read them. Watch the video, or look at the photo accompanying it.
I'm doing my job, judging on comments posted, look how many people have watched this compared to an average video post, then tell me i'm not doing my job right.
that fakie truck over the pyramid is one of the most mind-blowing tricks i've seen this week, how's that throwaway?
ReplyDeletelol No one said you're not doing your job...I was about to email you about how good causing a stir can be...especially with scooter riders that feed off a little remarks like that. I was just personally saying this does NOT show the Proto Team as a whole. It's in no way a dig on Dan, Jon, or Dylan...which is basically what this video is all about. You can take those 3 riders and stick them in any video...and it will shit on 80% of anything else out there.
ReplyDeleteI Love Dan Barret, Jon Reyes and Dylan Kasson
ReplyDeleteanybody whos saying that this video dissapointed them or whatever is fucking retarded. first of all, before you even read aarons description (which in my opinion was all true), you see the title of the video says THROWAWAY. only a moron would raise his expectations so high for a THROWAWAY VIDEO! get a clue scooter kids. but yeah all the riding was so sick and anybody trying to hate on this video obviously doesnt have a clue about what legit scootering is.
ReplyDeleteMeh...I beleiv people hate Proto caus their attitude...I hear they act stuck up and not cool to other people. Look at Twan remark/comment..obvious they arent even "TEAM"
ReplyDeletethe ignorance of some people is just mind blowing.
ReplyDeleteproto is old news?? seriously? for one, just read the caption for this vid on vimeo "Just because we don't make terrible park edits every weekend to MGMT songs and don't do triple butter cups for best trick contests doesn't mean we are dead. Proto is stronger than ever and still filming for the full length video". SO TRUE, just because we don't see an edit from them every single week doesn't mean they're old news! it's so smart, there's so much that we as a community do not know about with Proto and that is what makes it great when you see it. every section in their video will be brand new, super fresh and 100% progressive, and it will sweep us off our feet because they do a GREAT job of keeping it a secret... gosh man...
aaron, your caption was perfect. a lot of the descriptions on IS are over the top, but this is spot on, i agree with everything you said.
and finally, if you're going to be a critic, leave your name, don't be one of those guys..

I agree on Jepi. So many Team is a REAL Team, all guys together and have fun together. Seem proto is divided too much...some of their riding even I would say sucks.....some like Dlyan Jon and Dan is great riding....but not all.
ReplyDeletewho cares what twan says, throw him off the team for all i care, he rides so many other parts and doesnt stay true to proto like every other one of the riders do.
ReplyDeleteif hes not being respected in the team, then he should leave proto... simple as that!
ReplyDeletevideo was sweet!
especially since its only throwaway footage
Elmer looks like a douche in that helmet. Hahaha!
ReplyDeletedan barrett for president.
ReplyDeleteYeah seriously, I know Twan's been on the team longer than almost everyone but he should still be riding proto parts. He's the only one on that team that does not seem to get along with everyone else. It seems obvious that he doesn't like Dylan and I even remember when Steadman was put on the team he was upset and saying that it would be like counterprodcutive. But hey, that's just my opinion.
ReplyDelete-Peter Luce
thanks for all the comments guys its good to see not everybody that scooters is bummed on proto we will try as hard as we can to make the dvd worth it! maybe if you got to know us in real life and not online you would find out we arent assholes or divided were a big family trying to promote the sport and push the level of riding!
ReplyDeleteit is a good video but it does not compare to lucky.
ReplyDeleteit doesn't compare to lucky because both of those lucky vids are TRAILERS! NOT THROWAWAY. we haven't even seen a glimpse of what will be in the Proto vid. stop being dumb, people.
ReplyDeletePeoples hate my riding :((
ReplyDeleteGood to see you put the 540 on that bank in the edit Dylan ;)
I love your riding Alex!! I rode with Alex and Dylan at Tempe and they are some of the most chill riders to ride with. I love PROTO even though I don't ride any of their parts haha.
ReplyDelete-Patrick Cullings
Everyone needs to quit comparing and hating...
ReplyDeleteAnyone who rides street deserves respect. =]
Proto is going to get bigger and bigger.
bahaha best team? these guys never do good at comps..no one likes proto cuz theyre all dickheads who think theyre the shit and talk and treat others like they dont matter
ReplyDeletedylans a homo and this video was pretty fukin weak
ReplyDeletethey all steer from drugs.
ReplyDeleteI like you matt.^
ReplyDeletewow they can even bri flip
ReplyDelete^ Player, how many comp riders do we have? Let's see, we've got Twan, and, uhhh, ummm, Twan? No wait I already said him. If you think comps are the basis of a good rider you've get a pretty skewed vision of riding.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha..then dont try and act like you guys are tha best..look at Lucky and MGP and Eagle riders these guys are taking podium at comps..and throw down in their vids...yall can make a video part....ooooh great. No telling how long those tricks take you to land in the clips...but the REAL dominant and TOP teams are taking top spots in comps, AND putting out good vids...so whos really the best team here?
ReplyDeletemy god.......chill out people. PROTO IS one of the top teams in the sport..youd be stupid to think otherwise. All I meant when I posted was that this video didn't show the WHOLE Team...it just showcased Dan, Jon, and Dylan...which we all know are sick. People gotta chill out with all the comparing and shit....starting drama out of nothing. I'm about to just stop allowing any of the comments from here on out...lame.
ReplyDeleteCleanest fingerwhips Ever?
ReplyDeleteno doubt one of the best vids i seen in a while had to watch to fakie truck like 5 times cant wait for the vid and to all those people that are saying that proto is un legit cuz they dont go to comps keep in mind that our comunity as a whole wouldnt be where are today with out proto. and its good to see a video that wasnt filmed in a weekend
ReplyDelete-tyler rehard
wow, this is ridiculous, this was a chill video calm down.
ReplyDeletealthough i think all of us need some work on filming, i mean that over the entire community no one excluded.
It doesn't matter bout who is winning comps. That is not the defining factor of a good rider. If you wanna take there.. The rad is best, Tyler bonner rapes all. You ain't first your last... Anyways haha nice clips guys, love the riders and team, also imo, no one is doing for the sport what drew has.. I fuckin hate the pol talking mad wack shit and don't do anything for the sport but cause drama. Ugh yeah can't wait to own that vid
ReplyDeletedramadramadramaaa
ReplyDeletedoes dylan kassons riding and overall style bother anyone else as much as it does me?
ReplyDeletethis is why i dont talk to half the scooter kids..jus fukin ride
ReplyDeleteDylan glad you put that 540 on the bank in there hahah. We always have fun and thats what basically matters to me. Were doing our best to make a legit full length dvd. Thanks everyone for the support.
ReplyDeleteDan Barrett
