Ryan Bobier opens the video with a "I've finally grown up" part. If you do not know what I mean I recommend watching Zero's "Misled Youth" or Adio's "One Step Beyond" to get an idea of what I'm talking about. Even though he's not the most technical skater on the team, Ryan covers the basics on some pretty large rails and stair sets.
Jimmy Carlin has the next part, which I would say is my favorite and probably best in the entire video. He a really good style and does even some of the most technical tricks the way they should be done. Imagine playing that new Tony Hawk game and using the "nail the trick"
"It's Time" (pun intended) for the Circa heads Dennis Durrant, Windsor James, and Adrian Lopez showcase their latest skateboarding accomplishments. Durrant opens the part with some some really good flip in or flip out ledge tricks. Nollie frontside flip switch 5-0 what!? After a dropping dope part in "It's Time," Lopez seems to have struggled filming for this one. I found his part so predictable that I could call the tricks he would do before he did them. Windsor James, however, comes through with some buttery lines and some serious bangers towards the end. He even frontside nosebluntslides the gargantuan Oceanside hubba, which by the way, isn't even the ender.
Richmond, Virginia's Gilbert Crockett has a solid next part, in spite of an absolutely retarded introduction. He kickflips down some serious stair sets and proves that he deserves the coverage he gets. One of the tricks that stood out to me was his nollie heelflip down twelve stairs landed perfectly.
Ryan Smith is featured next. He kills every handrail imaginable, but his lines are kind of disappointing given how popular he is. But if you're into handrail skating, you will really enjoy his part. It also should be noted that this Canadian's kickflip frontside 50-50 down the Rincon mode then you will have an idea of what Mr. Carlin's skating is all about. He skated this ledge that meets another ledge at a corner and fakie 50-50's to half cab flip transfer to 50-50 almost effortlessly. This San Diego ripper is definitely deserving of a board with his name on it. hubba is good too.
Lindsey Robertson is next in line and has the best part out of Mystery's three pro's. He can do heelflips down anything, but you already knew that. I was really hyped on his full cab stalefish. He's got a couple of those in there, that really help to round out his part. If you're reading this Lindsey, using a OBD song was a good call.
A well deserving Dan Murphy has the closer. He puts down lots of flip tricks, often switch, over considerably large gaps. He also has some great looking ledge and handrail tricks. His part is reminiscent of an early Andrew Reynolds or Eric Koston, catching his board high and landing proper. I also want to recognize how good he is at nollies, after all, nollieflipping a thirteen stair is no joke. I'm sure we'll see Murphy boards in skateshops soon.
Overall the Mystery video is pretty solid and worth buying considering it costs less that a lot of other company videos. The amateur squad is most impressive and the pro's aren't too shabby. So if you want to see a video with lots of pure street skating check out Black and White.
