Flip Sorry was one of my first skate videos and remains a favorite. Appleyard is so smooth and rad. love his part and he seems like a cool dude. looove this old Flip team, especially Rowley and Apples.
I met Appleyard during 2021 Tampa Pro at The Bricks in Ybor. He was outside in the back ripping a cig with a buddy. I nervously went up to him and told him he’s my top skate ever. He was really appreciate and I apologized for bothering him and asked for a quick picture. He put his cig down to take the pic and gave me a great one. After I nervously said thanks and walked away but I could tell he would’ve kept chatting w me. Appleyard is THE MAN
Love these videos, don’t worry about videos being too long, I’d like if you paused and let them talk about each trick, so much behind the scenes stuff they can break down when they have the time. Keep ‘em coming
Never would have expected for Appleyard to be still in the game after all these years. He's outlasted 2 or 3 generations of pro skateboarding cycles at this point. A very fulfilling career that most pros would only dream of. Congratulations Mark!
Wow this was 4 days ago?! I just watch Sorry again for the first time in years. Appleyard was always my favorite skater growing up after watching Sorry. He has this supernatural ability to absorb shock and momentum to make everything he does look fluid and easy. His part in Sorry was like poetry in motion I think.
The gap to back lip that he talked about having to overcome, that’s my local post office I go by once a week. I can’t stress enough how big and crazy that spot is. That back lip was soooo heavy, even for today.
This was the very first part in a skating video I ever saw as a kid, when I was first starting out skating myself. I absolutely love this section and this video! Nostalgia isn't even a strong enough word, and just seeing this video pop on my feed has already made my day
Right? Dude I was like, 12 or 13. Poor. Downloaded this, the DC video, dying to live and mosaic on Limewire. My buddy had a huge basement that we basically built a dope little park in for the cold winter and scorching summer. We would watch this video and have random sessions at like 2 a.m
Same here. Had that on VHS, and it got me so stoked to skate. I didn't realize until my 20s the significance of John Lydon shitting on every before their parts lol.
@@user-js9in4lr3e Yeah man I feel that. I still have that old yellow VHS tape, although it no longer works. My friends and I thought Johnny Rotten was so funny and entertaining in it as kids, but also had no idea what the significance of it was until later in life lol
@@jeremylamovsky3669 Awesome collection of videos, those. Makes me wonder how many other childhoods were fueled by these videos during this era of skateboarding. Incredible memories
That team was insanely stacked! I remember when the VHS came out it was such a big deal in the skating community in North Las Vegas. We watched that video every day.
I’ve bought over 50 flip decks skated them till they broke sent my body down stairs into walls into cars absolutely wrecked my knees ankles and wrists. And the flip team was the best. You Rune Geoff Arto and Penny. That was my 90’s.
Was super excited to see Appleyard go over one of his parts but he skipped over pretty much everything. We wanna hear the story behind all this stuff. I wish he did his like p rod & jeremy Wray. Details make it good
@@tyrone-dh6iy tell me this part doesn’t make you wanna go out and skate. Cuz that’s a part that stands out to me. A part that makes me wanna skate. Not many skaters today do that for me. Just makes me wanna quit
@@cheothegeo2742 if you can't keep up with the elite, just go do something else. I'm in competition only with the very best. This part is as i said ok, but it doesn't get my juices flowing
@@tyrone-dh6iy it was actually a break out part and it's still holding up strong 2 decades later. Go see how big that 4 block is at MACBA to understand that nollie back heel. So many clips on here still crazy to this day looking effortless.
I love how on the nollie flip to 50-50 he's like "I don't know how I did that" when the rest of us saw that and thought the same thing lol Nollie flips to 50-50s on stuff like that was unimaginable back then.
GOATed video. I messaged Fred on RU-vid years ago and I posted my VHS copy to him to sign it; he signed it and posted it back to me with some prints of his skate photos all for free. Legend!
Bro hearing him describe his skating is hilarious, compared to Prod doing on here who knew every little detail, Appleyard just like “ oh shit I fucking did that!” Lmao best dude
I want to say this part is a top 5 of all time for me... or at the very least a top ten... Every Me/You by Placebo was a great song choice.. i use to love finding bands through skate videos.. but yea, his style, trick selections, spot selections.. so many great nollie tricks.. especially for handrails.. i can confidently say that Flip Sorry is my favorite skate video of all time.. by alot.. as much as i like Photosynthesis, Baker2g, Mosaic, Really Sorry, Menikmati, PJ Ladd W/H Life, Misled Youth, etc.. this was the best i wish he articulated a little better.. id like to know more about how/why he chose which tricks to do.. cause he made a lot of tricks popular.. things that most ppl weren't doing before him.. all the nollie flip crook, nollie flip noseslide stuff.. he definitely had a signature style and bag of tricks.. a breakdown of his Really Sorry part would be great too.. that was a huge follow up to this part.. going from first part to last..
i still remember sitting at the lunch table with the homies singing "every me and every you!!" gettin hyped for the after school session lol ...we all wanted the apple steeze back then ... his shoes when he rode for circa were some of my favorites ever too
Rog, if possible, make them watch one of Paul's reaction videos before they start. The Jeremy Wray one and most of this was just narrating the tricks, we gotta hear some stories.
Whats wild is that I had this DVD back when I was like 7 or 8, and I remember always liking Marks part, and is actually how I found out about the band placebo, To see him speaking of his recollection of his part is something I never thought I would ever see all the years ago.
One of the best and nostalgic parts ever! This was one of the first skate videos I watched and the moment I started to listen to Placebo. Visited their concert first time in my life last year, since I moved from Russia to Germany, What a journey!
This is Mark Appleyard. He's excellent, he really is right? He's got kudos and all a that. But... he don't know quite what to do with his hands... and there's something iffy going on around here. Ya know what I mean? I can see this one rockin' in Kansas.
Nowww I get it. Same amount of views and way less effort than doing the experience... "More effort put into the main show!" Hm, we'll see. I'm really gonna miss the Wednesday shows!
Love Mark so much man heard of him from Skate 2 and always watched his parts late 2000’s into 2010’s. Such a treat to see him talk about this part years later
I just noticed that of all the tricks he did on the gap out to down rail at the el Toro post office, he did the easiest one with the worst style: the frontside boardslide. For some reason, I had it in my head that he did it super smooth, but I guess that would be a kinda hard trick to make it look good on that obstacle. Regardless, when he went back in his next part he did an absolutely immaculate backside lipslide. Not only did it look beautiful, but that was probably the most gnarly trick possible on that thing. You know it’s gnarly because Daniel Harold Sturt took a photo of it, and he literally told Jamie Thomas and Geoff Rowley not to call him for a photo unless there was a possibility of them dying on the trick. Nice guy.
hold up he really started over tho 😆 i thought he was just joking. this man is too chill. gotta love it. but Sorry will forever be iconic. first skate movie on VHS (that yellow VHS lol) i bought myself that wasnt given to me
This is my all time favourite video part. Watched it relentlessly when I was 12 and it came out. Went out and bought his Thunder Appleyard III trucks with the grenades on them as well, then straight up copied the Placebo music on an edit I made with mates.
Has to be sad to watch your old part when you've lost so many skills.. Was the world's best to a 6 inch kickflip. I keep telling him to get into knees over toes guy but no reply. Most of these pros proud to be washed up and ignore everyone. RIP to Lewis Marnell, he was good to everyone and liked people
i never comment on videos but damn, i had appleyards part memorized when i was a little skate rat. seriously my favourite part, to this day i remember every trick and still bang placebo's track! i miss those days.
