Some of the best skaters there are have never had a part perfectly paired with the right song.

If the part has a general pace to it, a short and energetic track can match trick-wise fairly easily. In the case of say a Dennis Busenitz type though, where you have 5 trick lines, hill bombs and a montage of quick and fancy ledge attacks, a track with a continuous pace may not synch so well.

There’s also this task to honor what will indefinitely be a classic part, so should you pair it with a bonified top shelf classic, or is that too on the nose, boring even?

What would work then? Editing a part with 20 different clips all worthy of ender is no easy task. Every Busenitz part is a classic in its own right, the skating alone speaks for itself.

Some just can’t be pinned down by a single song. Their abilities and trick selection far too fugative. A tribute to their quality, here’s an attempt at a list of what shoulda been skated to that might’ve worked, or not.
