Well, it's nearly three months late, has generated 38 pages of Slap message board faux outrage, and holds the somewhat 2019-as-fuck honour of being the only online video section in history to have its own meta-narrative published months before it came out - but, Mark Suciu's Verso section is finally here and fucking hell it's amazing. Initially premiered as a work-in-progress back in July at his long-time shop sponsor Atlas Skateboarding's San Mateo store, since the first airing of Mark Suciu's Verso part, expectation and anticipation levels for this have been higher than for pretty much any other online video release in recent history, (although by 'recent' remember that's it's 2019 so that basically means six months max).   Would this video mark a true return to the rapid foot mathematics and out-of-the-box thinking that first enamoured the entire skateboard universe to this mild mannered young man? Would Verso represent a complete return to form of one of modern skateboarding's greatest thinkers, following the long recovery from a burst appendix back in 2014 that left him emaciated and facing the prospect of relearning to skate? Would it top his adidas Away Days part that, at least according to him, was filmed during his convalescence? Or had he Pat Duffy'd himself by dropping so much paradigm-shifting footage so early in his career that he'd be forever playing catch up with his earlier output? (See below for a reminder of a few of those). Happily, it's absolutely indisputable that with Thrasher Magazine's drop of this latest piece of Suciu wizardry, his status as one of skateboarding's most forward-thinking pros is more than assured. We don't intend to give any spoilers here as this banger needs careful digestion in its own time but, suffice to say, if you thought he would struggle to top his Sabotage 4 or Cross Continental parts then you, like the rest of the Internet, were tripping.   When the second trick in your latest section is a switch backside nosebluntslide fakie flip out back to switch (or fakie - fuck me this is confusing) - then you're basically chilling as far as your status within skateboarding's highest strata of next level innovation is concerned.   We're not going to list any other stand outs - just go watch it, although it does bear saying that Mark Suciu's Verso section begins with a lovely tribute to Ben Raemers, which is even more reason to love this dude. Whilst the moniker of 'skateboarding's premier intellectual' that's been foisted upon him purely due to the guy not being an idiot can be a little wearisome at times, Mark's skateboarding really does speak of his passionate desire not to repeat himself, nor to limit his selection of spots to the obvious, and most importantly, to push the boundaries of the possible whilst remaining 100% true to a very specific and personal skateboard aesthetic. In short - if 2019's relentless tirade of meaningless Instagram enabled cock measuring has led you to begin to question whether or not modern skateboarding is actually bollocks, this will convince you otherwise. Bravo big lad.   Now, with that said - we recommend that you check out The Bunt Live's Mark Suciu interview here for more stories and a less self-consciously high brow representation of the man in question, then check out his 15 stair switch 5050 at the recent Dime event in Montreal here. When you've done that - why not head over to our webstore and pick yourself up a pair of his adidas ADVII bangers as well, seeing as we just so happen to have them on sale right now? Whilst you're navigating your way around our extensive adidas Skateboarding range, it would be silly not to remind yourself of some Mr Suciu's past bangers too, so please find below a couple of fast footed classics from the last decade. Enjoy. 2016's adidas Away Days 2015's Sabotage 4 2012's Cross Continental If you need more, and realistically, who doesn't? Get over the excellent Skatevideosite.com for the full Mark Suciu playlist.
