I may have procrastinated and waited too long to write this review, but the upside is that you’ve hopefully watched it by now. If you haven’t, you should. Even if you have, you might as well watch it again. Dan summarized it well as the “rarest cut to date.”

“Rub some dirt on it” is a multi-year project, and what we could call Ryan Voyten’s street skiing directorial debut. No winches, no super 8, no 4k cams, no international trips - this is a solid street cut, plain and simple. While some videos suffer from forgettable or poorly used b-roll, this video succeeds at capturing random funny moments in between tricks, helping this project stand out among many other projects that will be dropping in the next few months.

No concrete ledge or wooden handrail is safe from these boys. One of my favorite aspects of this video is the creative spot selection. Two of my favorites were Ryan's lightning/double elbow concrete ledge and George Brown's tanker to redirect (I'm pretty sure it was George). I would imagine that putting together a street video while being based in Pennsylvania is no easy task, but the result involves a bunch of unique spots that I’ve never seen before.

Despite being 16 minutes long, this video is well-paced and intelligently edited, feeling shorter as a result. After the intro, I wasn’t expecting a David Allen Coe song but it’s a great way to kick off the video. In fact, the whole soundtrack is solid and the songs flow nicely together. The Cranes song at the end was a refreshing departure from what would usually be a more aggressive or heavier-sounding song in other videos.

Now I can’t write a review and only say positive things. I like smaller jibs as much as the next person, but a certain minority of clips felt a bit underwhelming to me and, in my opinion, could have been cut from the final project. That being said, it’s hard to walk the line between making the most impressive video you can versus making sure that all your friends are properly represented. It seems like this video leaned a bit toward the latter, which I think is a justifiable decision.

Overall, this is an incredible video and I’m happy to see that it’s had such a positive reception from the community. Hats off to @weastcoat and everyone who had a part in the making of this project.
