The editor is a nice guy from Denmark, called Jonas Hansson, and he really wants to show the world what the Danish scene is up to. It's his first video and it definitely is a very good one taking into account that it's his first. As usual the video starts with an intro and it really shows what you can expect from the rest of the video. Right from the start Jacob Juul is busting out sick ass tricks, but I will tell you more about him later. The intro is followed by a profile on Seth Nicolas. This guy skates hard on everything (gaps, rails, ledges, curbs, skateparks and creative things) and it's nice to see that he went to the United States to represent there too. In my opinion he did an awesome job ;). This profile is well edited to the music but it has a hiphop song while the intro has a rock song. Nevertheless I think the music works pretty good for the skater and the section. After Seth's profile a bunch of Danish and Swedish skaters follow in a montage section. This section is edited to a nice song from Bjork but again really different from the others.
After that it's time for one of the most creative guys in Denmark: Christian Berg. He performs tricks on things others wouldn't even think about when driving by. The music by Four Tet is good again but different.
Jacob Juul, in my opinion one of the hottest kids in Europe right now, is next in line with his profile. This "kid", he's only 15 years old, skates like someone who's been skating like a pro for years. 450 royales, 360 topsouls it just seems to come normal for this guy. His profile really shows why everyone in Scandinavia is afraid of him ;). And the rest of the world should be too. It's under laid with some music from X-zibit and Eminem and you really have to see it.
The video is around 20 minutes long and finishes with an outro/credits (as usual) where funny moments are shown and everyone who helped gets thanked for. The outro contains some indie rock once again.
Conclusion: The music isn't the same genre all over the video but in my opinion that's the only bad thing about it. In fact you can't really call it bad because the music fits the sections. The rest of the video is just really good and I suggest downloading it. And why shouldn't you, it's FREE for christ's sake.
And Jonas you should really go for a sequel ;).
