Dylan's stellar review of the video seen in Color Issue 7.2

Well, let me preface this by saying that I am a huge fan of the classical guitar. There is nothing as relaxing as a little say, Adres Segovai. When the video starts out with the lovely duo of Daniel Lebron and Jesus Fernandez playing during the long tracking shot that brings us to J.B. Gillet’s incredible opening part. What follows is a well contructed 10 song mix tape that brings us through the whole cliché team. Newcomer, Flo Martain is a treat, bringing us, among other things, a kickflip feeble on a flat ledge. A musical highlight comes as Charles Collet (who is now a man), has his part musically interpreted by Duracell. Everyone’s current favourite Australian wraps things up and he drags his monstrous ollie across the globe. Close your eyes, forget about the skating. Let the music take you on a whirlwind trip.
