Brendon Smith Envy Web Edit



You've probably seen this already on Facebook but I suppose I might as well post it.  This video features Brendon doing what he does best- combos for days on quarterpipes and boxes.  The only thing I want to say about it is that I wish Brendon would progress in other ways than air tricks.  But its cool, thats what works best for him and why he's gotten to where he is today.

102 comments:

  1. Had a few great clips in there, but throwing a sloppy turndown or invert after every combo doesn't make it cool. I'd rather just see you catch your tricks clean and landing on the top of the quarter than landing on the bottom rolling away with no speed. Be more creative and land clean and your riding would be amazing.

  2. i agree with jordan. his non-air tricks look good so if he would want to improve, he would get into the tech/street elite.

    but this type of riders like he, martin nogol and other people who are good at flying, push the scootering forward very very fast and persuade people at the internet, exhibitions and skateparks to ride a scooter and thats why the tech/street riders have to respect them (they dont have to watch their videos)

  3. what the hell, your so casual about saying that, that was one of the best edits ever and your complaining about the ramps he uses?

    ReplyDelete
  4. This is insane stuff, but its like hes playing tony hawk pro scooterer where you can just throw the most tricks and land flat. Scooter riders just need to realize throwing in a ton of tricks in jump has no style. Makes our sport look like a little toy.

  5. Why he has to progress on other ways? He does what he loves wich is park. Stop hating on park videos Jordan!!

    ReplyDelete
  6. Anon, I don't think you understand my comment.

    And Chris, because, and this is just MY opinion, no need to get mad, there is more to riding scooters than just throwing a million tricks at a time.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Chris, he doesnt 'have' to progress in other ways, jordan just wishes he would, and so would most street riders. It's pretty clear that hes not hating.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Anon said "that was one of the best edits ever". This is what is wrong with the scooter world.

    ReplyDelete
  9. im pretty sure hes the first one to do almost every trick in that video lol, it woulda been cool to see more street too though

    ReplyDelete
  10. just about every single one of those combos blows my mind.. was that 360 6 whip at the end? shits just nuts

    ReplyDelete
  11. Damn Jordan is just not allowed to have a brain anymore or what? lol.

    ReplyDelete
  12. I dgaf all I know is he did a backflip briflip and if I'd seen that in real life I would have dropped nuts and given him knucks for sure, been waiting so long to see someone do a good one like that

    ReplyDelete
  13. I can't even understand half of the tricks,it is not right, the progression is unreal.

  14. Australia in a nutshell: MGP scooters EVERYWHERE, cutoff jeans, high tops, sky blue helmets, no swag in their push, the same angles and the same ramps for the same tricks every time, and a song thats been used in the edits of countless other Aussie kids. Australia may very well be the hub of scootering right now, but they lack the one most important part of being a rider...... ORIGINALITY! The whole proto team should go on a pilgrimage out there......... That should teach em a lesson.....

    ReplyDelete
  15. i agree with the anon describing australia in a nutshell, except all they have to do is ride with the friendly crew, that would open up their eyes a little more. but hey, scooters is scooters, so i can dig the cray tricks he does out of quarters too

    ReplyDelete
  16. fuck you all, edit was sick period..... just stfu and go scooter. thats what the videos are made for, to promote, inspire and show whats been the latest with the riders.

    ReplyDelete
  17. shut the hell up you Americans. the video was more then good. you guys call your selfs "street" riders, brendon can ride street as good or even better then all of you!

    ReplyDelete
  18. preety lame ballerina shit

    ReplyDelete
  19. im seriously sick of hearing everyone rag on aussie riders, or brendon as a matter of fact.
    Everyone needs to realise that people have different styles and different preferences, if you dont have something good to say; dont say it.
    People rag on his originality? i dont see anyone else doing what he does?

    Your all trying to be skaters, filming with vx's riding 'STREET' blah blah blah.. Appreciate scooters for scooters.. not for fucking proto !

    no disrespect or anything intended but its pathetic how people complain about stuff like that !

    MANZIE KNOWS WHATS UP !

  20. I like turtles.

  21. easy best rider in the australia that dosent use flips often !

    ReplyDelete
  22. Wazzeh's comment said what I was thinking.

    No offense but the majority of "street" riders, are honestly pretty annoying. Think they're above everyone else on a scooter that doesn't ride the way they do.

    This video was really sick, I couldn't even comprehend how many ridiculous tricks were in this video. Really fun to watch.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Jordan your opinions are dumb. Just dont say anything.Period. You brag about everything. Seriously!
    But that bri flips was dope!

    ReplyDelete
  24. I only came to read the comments, definitely more entertaining than any video.

    ReplyDelete
  25. That's right everyone just don't say anything and no one will argue. That was an edit that pushed the sport to another level, no one has nearly as much control over a scooter than he does.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Cant believe somebody really said that he needs some originality, half the shit he did in that video is stuff that nobody else in the whole community is doing. What gets more original that that?! People hating on riders for doing riding what they want to ride is one of the things i hate about scooters

  27. Come on Brendon! Ride something else than the same quaters or boxes all the time. I watched 2 minutes, and realised that he didnt really ride something else than quater and box. Then i got bored, and watched Big Ron shreddin' da rails.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Right on Steven T. This video shredded the gnar. And the description of Aussies in a nutshell sounds like The Incline Club to me soo..

    ReplyDelete
  29. Cheat codes for sure. Street or park or whatever else you ride, if you can make an entertaining edit then you win. This was retardedly crazy and every trick blew my mind...seriously if a video game ever came out these would be the tricks I would try haha. Brendon wins.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I make the nutshell comment last night......... I wake up, and look at this debate!!!! But seriously just to point out something funny i think in te beginning you can see him doing this limpy ass mongo push into the quarter..... LAME!!!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Brendon's one of the best in the world at airing out of quarters and hucking insane combos non stop. I know he can do wallrides, grinds and other stuff. I'm also sure that he could become one of the best street riders as well, or one of the best vert/bowl/tranny riders. So why won't he?

    ReplyDelete
  32. 5:43 i thought he was gonna take his head off ...

    ReplyDelete
  33. ride what you like and what your good at there is room in this sport to have tech riders street riders park riders its like every other sport , people ride what they want to ride my mind is blown away by jordans tech riding as well as brendons combos i just ride and watch to enjoy myself keep it real people

    ReplyDelete
  34. If 20 people do a tailwhip down a 5 stair then brendon does a tailwhip down an 8 stair that doesnt make him original. Throwing an extra trick at the end doesnt make it original it just makes it boring to watch.

    ReplyDelete
  35. i personally dont ride at all like brendon ask me to clear a box and i poo it every time but his edits inspire me to ride so much it makes me want to go out and and ride flat till i die of tiredness. Brendon is bossss

    ReplyDelete
  36. Come on guys, let's ride street like real men... Watch skate videos, like the stay gold b-sides and see what is real riding. Fs 180 heelwhip on 5 blocks at Bercy or at wallenburg would be ten times better than a 360 triple whip to bar to turn on a funbox made with foam... But this is MY opinion.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Scootering in a nutshell: You ride street = you're the best and you're better then everyone else

    ReplyDelete
  38. no offence Alex Steadman but if you are actually doubting this edit saying people who say its good are 'what's wrong with scootering', i dont know what's fucking right..

    ReplyDelete
  39. i cannot even take this community. Like someone said before IF THE VIDEO IS ENTERTAINING then the rider did a good job whether its street park or the fucking driveway. I dont see how anyone could not be entertained by this.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Fingerwhip to buttercup. Omg shit just got real.

    ReplyDelete
  41. This park v. street debate is fucking crazy. I don't understand where these kids think, "oh, street riders just want to be like skateboarders and use vx's." If that were the case then are all park scooter riders trying to be like BMX? I ride street for the challenge and pure fun of it and finding new spots is a thrill. Saying that of the majority of street riders is pretty ignorant.

    On that note: I really enjoyed this edit. I wasn't too fond of the late inverts and turndowns and some other little things, but overall most of those tricks were mind blowing. Definitely showing this to many non-scooter riders.

  43. Fuck you're all shit, who give a flying fuck the way others ride. Just ride for fun. If you seriously thing a park video full of bangers like this is bad for the "progression" of scooters, then you should be taken to the vet and be put down. When it comes down to it the "progression" of scootering does not effect you when you go out and actually ride your scooter so quit your bitching.

    ReplyDelete
  44. @AlexSteadman
    STFU. you have absolutly no room to talk. you are the worst rider to be considerd pro in this sport. i dont even think you can double tailwhip flat' your so bad. seriously. i cant even give an example of how bad u are. brendan can do all ur gay street shit which u suck at by the way and i bet my left nut that u cant do 1 trick in this edit. or anyones for that matter. you think ur the shit cuz ur on proto. i am better that you, my friends are better that you, just stop talking shit when you are shit.

    ReplyDelete
  45. lmao at Alex Steadman thinking hes good and can talk shit on other riders...lmfao only reason hes even on proto is cause he sucks andrews dick..lol

    ReplyDelete
  46. Fuck Jordan Jasa!! You never have anything nice to say about anyones edit, you always have to have your little input of "Constructive cirtisism" Fuck you dude your shit at street aswell.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Kevin Austin -

    To be honest this is one of then most insane things I've ever seen, but it's not an edit I'd like to watch over and over again. Try be creative with the variety of parks and the ramps you ride and you'll be sweet. All in all PROPS, was crazy as fuck.

    ReplyDelete
  48. alex steadman is god. god is alex steadman. pppttttt
    i laugh at you fools for thinking alex steadman is bad. jokes on you

    ReplyDelete
  49. steadman is probably the steeziest rider alive. he doesn't give 1 fuck about what you n00by kids say. breendon is good and all, but his lack of style is sooo big, and he also pushes mongo lol. proto is easily the best and most legit thing in scootering today, and if we want respect, that's the way to go. and stop bitching on all the street riders. they are the shit, and are the creative souls in the sport. and vx roxxx.

    bye

  50. Jordan Jasa will poop on your life kid.

  51. bahaha the only people that like Steadman are his friends lol

  52. all bangers... every trick..

    ReplyDelete
  53. this edit was absolutely mind blowing! but i hate the fact that were fighting over scootering when thats what we all do. everyone has a different style and we should all respect that. so ever one shut the fuck up and go ride your damn scooters and have fun!

    ReplyDelete
  54. steadman has so much originality and steeze, that he doesnt care what you think.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Steadman is the most creative and dopest rider out there. He does stuff that is so original and creative.

    ReplyDelete
  56. all you guys sound like fuckin kooks. brendan's a homie.

    ReplyDelete
  57. That was nuts, every trick was basicly a banger, Please stop doing the late inverts but, They look terrible when they are not properly done. Also I could only imagine the pain you have in your heels.

    ReplyDelete
  58. steet riders like steet. park riders like park. please don't hate on other types of riding just because you don't enjoy it. Alex Steadman has really nice riding but I don't agree with what he said. I personally enjoy watching street more, but i have the same amount of respect for park riders as for street.

    ReplyDelete
  59. that was just mind blowing and keep doing your thing. you push your skatepark skills too the limit, i just wonder how bad your back and heels will be in a few year. good job man

    ReplyDelete
  60. You don't tell vert skaters that their edit was rubbish cos all they do is airs on vert ramps! Let people ride how they want, if that's the way they have the most fun leave them.

    Personally i loved the edit, it was inspiring and made me want to ride.

    ReplyDelete
  61. he is really good it is just so boring to watch a 6 min long quater pipe edit

    ReplyDelete
  62. Jasa>Steadman>Smith

    ReplyDelete
  63. I just think that praising riders who do airs on quarters as their main deal is silly. I think the same with bmx though, all 540 flair tailtap footjam people are ridiculous.
    It's the same thing here. People criticize some of the Opus footage because the spots are similar throughout all the parts, but this kind of video is the same quarters at the same parks. How is that okay?
    Brendon is super good, there's no questioning that, it's just that I and many other riders are not interested in the way he uses his skills. I mean no disrespect to him or any other park riders, I just think that there is a lack of originality in the "let's see how many tricks I can do at once" mentality.
    I don't know how this came around to me being a terrible rider, but it did. It seems that the people who disagree with me cannot support their own arguments so instead attack me personally. All I will say is that I have never said I was better than anyone. In fact I'm sure that everyone who said they are better than me can actually do more tricks than me. Congratulations.
    Again with PROTO, I don't know how the idea that I flaunt being on PROTO came about, but it is also untrue. I'm thankful for being on the team and would probably not try to/be able to get on another team.
    Keep in mind that every broad generalization I made in here is just that, a broad generalization. I know that Brendon didn't ride solely quarter pipes in this video. Don't nitpick on that because it is not what matters.
    Haters gonna hate, call the cops I don't give a fuck, I ain't even mad though, etc.

    ReplyDelete
  64. The edit needs more vert.

    ReplyDelete
  65. 0:20 go on street riders do that
    THIS IS SICK
    flair bar was dope
    and also steven or jordon i think you should post up brendon and max in nz because that is also sick

    ReplyDelete
  66. You guys should learn to appreciate originality whether it is a sick grind thing done on a ridiculous spot or an unbelievable air combo no one have ever performed before. People hating on Brendon - as well as those bashing on Alex and Jordan - shame on you, you hinder the development of our sport.
    I only wish Brendon rode more street and tech though. I remember seeing some street clips in his previous edits and they were really enjoyable actually.

    ReplyDelete
  67. jesus fuck, all of you sound like a bunch of fucked up little girls. fuck this sport, none of you little kids appreciate the shit that any of the top riders put themselves through to make edits like this for you to watch. you may not fucking like it, and you may not give a shit about street, or you may not give a shit about park... but give the kid some fucking respect for the shit hes throwing down. i bet you if any of his bail footy was posted, you guys would stop talking shit immediately. get the fuck over this park VS. street shit, and just appreciate the whole sport for what it is, and what it can become if we're not divided like some cliquey bunch of preteen little bitches.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Anonymous, Anonymous, Anonymous, blahh blahhhh blahhhh.


    This video was sick and brendon does what he does best. Kid does rediculous combos that i cant even process. too good.


    This whole park vs street thing? get over it. Brendon likes crazy combos that dont make sense on how its possible. The day someone finds a street spot that gives you as much air time as airing 4 feet and doing 6 tricks at once then maybe he will ride street. until then enjoy watching brendon do some rediculous stuff.



    haters need to shut up, our sport is going no where as long as we continue to hate on ourselves. The day we mature as a whole group is the day scooters will be appreciated.


    just give up trying to argue this, its not gonna work guys...


    oh and once again you killed it in this video brendon, crazy tricks!

    ReplyDelete
  69. Everyone that rides street just hates on parkies. Do us parkies ever hate on street, no. Just let people ride what they want whether its 22 wide bars and flyout or 16 wide and street. Do you really think Brendon is going to change his style of riding because of what you guys say? No hes not.

    ReplyDelete
  70. my only beef is that all the airs were filmed on like only 5 different quarters and there were like 60 so it got kinda repetitive to watch. tricks were nuts though mad props for sure.

    ReplyDelete
  71. OK. All the people hating on brendon's style or the way he rides or this edit, you all suck. I wanna see all of you do 180,360, or 540 combos like brendon. YOU ALL SUCK

    ReplyDelete
  72. y are people hating on jordan inside wouldnt even fucking be here if it was for that guy do any of you understand that?

    the best comment out of the whole 73 is hep gregs he couldnt have worded it better every one needs to stfu because we all ride and thats all there is to it talking shit doesnt get you anywhere so wake up and smell the coffee there is no hate from me on "parkies" because i ride street and park and u obviously no somethings wrong when two of the best street riders in the world, them being hep greg and mckeen, comment sticking up for the parkies

  73. Perfect example how inmature scootering is. Negative comments you'd think should come from bikers and skaters, but no it comes from scooter kids. So sad. Both Jordan and scooter resourse should leave the sport for good then we will have true progression. Advetisers boycott this site till Jordan is gone and do the same with SR. Jasa is a chump

    ReplyDelete
  74. hey guys, this is a blog. which means the writer of the blog has the right to post whatever he wants. it's called an opinion, and none of you are forced to agree with it. jordan's opinion does not affect the progression of scootering or the well being of any of you. don't act like you must read this site so it must have opinions on it that you agree with. bye.

    ReplyDelete
  75. I feel like nobody actually reads my comments on videos, and just assumes I'm blatantly hating on it...lol. Anyone who has a basic understanding of and comprehension skills of the English language can see that is not the case. Protip: If I post a video on IS, I do not hate it or think it sucks/that they should stop riding park/start riding street/whatever. Being on Inside was and still is the premier platform to get yourself/videos views and respect, I'm not going around finding videos to post and bash on.

    ReplyDelete
  76. Holy godd damn.
    Okay, so people say the problem is too much this or not enough that, but that isnt the case. In other sports like ours, do u see people talk shit to pro riders directing it toward them and the pro's having to defend themselves? No. How can you say such things about jordan and alex like that? Jordan is one of the coolest guys i know. U ever met him? He makes me want to ride my scooter just being around him. Alex, i have never met him but i think he eats originality for breakfast. He is awesome. Now anon's and other "haters", theres different types of videos. U like street? Watch street. U like park? Watch park. Honesly, u shouldnt have a distinct style. RIDE EVERYTHING. Jordan rapes street and kills park. I love park and street just the same. Come on people. Get it together, stop talkin shit to some of the best pro's in the world, and ride your scooter fo what its worth.

    ReplyDelete
  77. Scooters are like fat girls, there fun to ride until your friends find out. On that note i would just like to thank R Willy for making my night with his comment "I like turtles" probbaly one of the most original riders out there;)

  81. I haven't really enjoyed this edit, just found it a lil boring. But he did a good job, I was like what the heck every ten seconds. He pushes the level out of the human level. However, I think about a think for a long time. We all want to see scootering like a real extrem sport, with a comp at the x-games or something, but the mens of the x-games, someone show them a video like this, they see a man throwing his scooter in every direction with a big high and then he lands with the deck under his feet. They don't understand anything. They just see the style, witch isn't very kind to watch. And those guys, they just think about the TV. They say 'this doesn't look very good, I don't want this in my event.' People want to be entertained ! The FMX or whatever, the guys have big style. This is why the scooter isn't in those event. They say it's ugly to watch.
    But there is so many riders with an awesome style (for example Stan or Steadman) and this is so good to watch ! And this is those guys we have to show to the organizers of the biggest events aroud the world !This is stylish, this is beautiful to watch, it will be widely reported in the media !
    This is my opinion, from my lil country of Switzerland. Haha
    Park or street, just try to do an entertain edit.
    No hate. Hep Greg and Alex have the good words.

  82. THIS ISMSO BEAST! BEST EDIT, EVERY TRICK WAS A BANGER LAWLSS

  83. Street is where the riders who can't ride park end up. Street is a second class deal. Sorry thats how the real world works

    ReplyDelete
  84. ok first of all i deffenetly respect b.smith for haveing the balls to throw half the shit in this video. so as soon as any of you can gather up the balls to doo any of this shit then talk shit to him. i also think his bars are to small but thats an opinion. not my favorite edit but some mind blowing combos. people talk about progression of the sport and this is him progressing the only way he knows how. if on day he decides to do his quarter tricks with more hight and not land as flat im sure he could do it in a month or less. so you progress the sport your way and he will do it his way. in regards to the aussi in a nut shell thing i think some aussi riders have some of the greatest style this world has ever seen and i think some have less style than a bum but that varies from rider to rider. and about the street vs park thing dont fight i love both and am pretty good at both so just do what you love and let the rest of the world do their thing dont try to pursuade die hard park riders street is better it will never work and same for die hard street riders. i also think that if we want to get a comp in the x games or dew tour than people should probably start thinking about how they throw their tricks and how they land them insted of trying to figure out how they can get more tricks into one air. just focus on landing clean and going big. i think one huge double air is cooler looking than an ave. hight 6 whip air. but in the end t all comes down to when you go out and ride you ride cuz you love it not because you are trying to prove that one style is better than the other so dont try to do that on here. if proving street is better or park is better is all thats important to you then just quit because your riding fo the wrong reasons and giving our sport a bad rep.

  87. Is he not allowed to make an edit without criticism. Look at all the crazy stuff he does yet you tell him to ride differently. Brendon absolutely kills it and its so entertaining to watch, Id prefer watching this than a street video and im sure im not the only one.

    ReplyDelete
  88. god damn, i hate it when some douche bag writes a whole fuckin article about already discussed shit. its a waste of your time.

    speaking of wasting time
    if you didnt like brendans video, its on the internet for free. free shit is good and im sure wasting 6 minutes of your life isnt gonna kill you

  91. Have you guys ever watched BenJ? Ofcourse you have! Yes, he rides park, but he does ride park in a very special way. As he says: "i ride park because love enjoying my tricks."
    Does Brendon look like a guy who enjoys being in the air. No, he's just all dizzy after flair quadwhippythingy.
    And the guy who commented, that street is the 2nd choise.. I think its the different way. Kids tries to barspin 5 stair, bails and then go to the flyout, because then they get enough air to do it. Well, im out.

    ReplyDelete
  92. Brendon smith is amazin he is the best air combo rider ever no offense to the other riders but he's really good I love his style nd his stalls nd inwards in ur really good man serious rider haha keep doing that beast work brendon thanks for making that video its amazing nd other comments be tryin to say u land sloppy or sketchey there trippin cause I bet if u tried to ride to bust what brendon does u wouldn't land any cleaner so fuck off haha brendon ur beastt!!!

    ReplyDelete
  93. Wtf u guys got to stop bitchin about brendon okk he's beast nd sick ass air combos like foreal stop posting street all day okk stfu I bet u bitches that post street nd bag on brendon I bet u guys can barely tailwhip a 5 nd bar a 2 so fuck off nd face the fact that brendon is beast nd ur all butthurt cause u ain't ass good as himm

    ReplyDelete
  94. Obviously all of us are influenced by Skateboarding or Bmxing or both. But clearly Skateboard>Bmx so therefore Street>Park or Tech>Flyout or Rails>Quarterpipes.
    Its fact, dont argue.

    The only way you can truly understand is to ride street.
    P.S. MADD GEAR sucks cock.
