Italo Muniz Do it! I’m 31 and trying to learn again. Landed my first stationary shuvvit the other day. Goals are to learn to kickflip and to drop in on a little ramp
I remember the first video I watched back in probably 87' of Rodney on VHS. He was WAY ahead of his time. WE all marveled at his talent when we were kids - and still do today. What a pleasure to see someone from another generation, take what he created and pay homage by recreating the same tricks to share to the millions on CZcams. Made my day =D
I love that while Jonnys trying to pull of the nearly impossible semi flip another skater rides by and does the easiest trick and probably the first trick anyone learns and then like any supportive person should do, Jonny applauds him and shakes his hand as if he just nailed something huge. That's positive reinforcement and sportsmanship right there
Stunning trick, strikes me every time. When I watched Rodney doing it on regular speed (not slow motion) I couldn't even comprehend what the hell he had done. It looks like some warp glitch on reality.
It's amazing to me that Rodney can do something with a skateboard and a small bit of curb that is so difficult that nobody else will do it for 25+ years. True Legend.
Long ago I gave up skating after my left leg came off at the knee. But I still enjoy watching skate vids. But Mullen's trick where and still are some of the greatest.
I agree, back when freestyle was a thing he was the king. Freestyle had a short life span and instead he just transferred to street. I remember that time and thinking poor guy, his reign is over! But he thrived and innovated instead! Man the guy became a huge influence on street skating and is like a God. He is a an example of how adaptable skateboarding is to any terrain. I never saw street skating the same way.
Hmm..EVER? top 5 for sure.. I was always an Andrew Reynolds fan but Mullen could grind with the best and may be the best grinder. But best ever is a reach. I do respect your opinion and for the record, hes always the 2nd player I max out on THPS.
Johnny, your enthusiasm and love for the art of "the process" and practice are inspiring. Those skills are transferrable to any difficult endeavor that's worth doing well. Bravo!
Yeah, he does a good job making the trick understandable. Maybe you could slow down the example clip a bit more. Take it frame by frame. I mean wtf, seriously what is going on here? (joking) It would also be interesting to sync your footage with it and show the clips side by side. Front foot is very different.
Wow! This brings back some memories! I’m 49 now but back in the day I was s skater. My first board was a Tony hawk, then I saw Rodney Mullen, he came to our high school. I loved the freestyle board and his style, then when he started street skating, oh man, just do smooth and incredible! No doubt an inspiration of mine and an incredible skater!
Hey man, when was the last time you stood on a board? Do you think i could start with age 25? Im interested in skating for years but couldnt push me to actually trying it.. i know its hard as fuuh tho Bless you bro i hope you and your family are healthy ❤️
@@peeron6829 The last time I attempted anything close to skating was probably around 3 years ago . I was in a local Cumberland farm’s convenient store and a kid came in with one of those boards that is self propelled by leaning one way or the other to make you go and turn. I don’t know if you can compare it to actually being on a board but if it’s any indication of how I would do. It wasn’t good at all. I asked to try it and the second I stood on it, it took off out from beneath my feet and I was laying on my back looking up at the ceiling. No good!! Lmao 🤣. But there’s lots to consider. I was hurt around 8 years ago. I was knocked unconscious and broke several bones and will never be the same. Honestly, what I wouldn’t give to be your age, 25 , dude please don’t hesitate if it’s something you truly want to do. At your age, with practice. Trust me when I tell you that there’s nothing you can’t do. I’m being 100% serious! With practice you will develop the balance and confidence needed to skateboard in whatever style you choose. I’m not even sure if anyone freestyle skates anymore like they used to, back in the days of Rodney Mullen, Pierre Andre. Doing rail to rail tricks, double, triple kick flips, 360 kick flips. I skated for many years from 14 till into my early to mid twenties. Then life changed and I had to change with it. My mind is still young and I still enjoy doing most of the things I did when I was your age. Unfortunately my body won’t let me do what my mind wants to. I suggest you never doubt yourself, whatever you feel you want to do in life, don’t ever let anyone tell you that you can’t or shouldn’t. We only get one time on this planet. It’s important to follow your heart and dreams. You don’t want to get to a point in life where you can no longer do things you wish you had. Living with regrets is a terrible thing. We never know what tomorrow holds. Of course you have to be respectful of others in your life. But you only get one life, live it to its fullest and be happy!! I hope you do what makes you happy, they say if you figure out how to turn your passion into the way you make a living, you’ll not just be successful but you’ll be happy! No one wants to work a 9-5 their whole lives and be a slave to what society says we should be. That’s ridiculous, you end up getting no where and being miserable. Trust me at 49 years old I’ve learned alot. I am married to the same woman for 30 years, my son is 24 and is a graduate student working on his PhD and works as s teacher’s assistant and gets paid to go to school and for living expenses. He lives with his girlfriend from high school. She graduated with her masters. They both are happy and have a great start in life. They both chose their path and are doing what they want to do with their lives. Everyone’s path is different. I learned a trade out of high school and I use it today to make a living. I’m a welder. After I got hurt. I started working for myself, making tables, chairs, lamps, all kinds of different things I create from repurposing different things. Just before Covid my wife and I bought property. For the first time in my life I own my own land and house. It’s something that’s always been important to me. I’ve been working on building a place that me and my wife can live the rest of our lives . As well as I play pool and have always wanted my own table. Very soon I’ll have one, I’m turning my garage into a game room. I’m building a wind mill, hooking up solar panels and building a greenhouse that can be used year round. I’m from upstate, NY. So just trying to become as self sufficient as possible and be able to survive if things get worse with the world we live in. Anyway sorry for babbling on man. I just wanted to reply to you, I really appreciate you reading my comment and replying. I really appreciate it. I hope you take what I said seriously. Follow your Dreams! If you do, maybe one day you’ll look back and remember this crazy dude who gave you advice on CZcams. I hope whatever you do, you don’t ever look back and wish you had. Take care man!! By the way,Please watch this Documentary. The Alpanist, it’s the story about Marc-Andre Leclerc. This guy knew something most don’t. How to truly live!! This will blow you away!!
Mullens is such an amazing skater. The tricks that most do today started with him. The joy you hear in his voice when talking about skating is awesome. I would love to meet him one day or catch one of those Mullens sightings that I heard of. Listening to his Ted talk is also inspiring. I think he could also teach others in simple to understand steps to be a pro in a short time period.
No, he just designed a board that was superior pop than others, enjoi boards were tops, then almost now, and i love them, I have tried other boards, they don't compare, plus they make them super wide i have huge feet so that's nice.
@@quazimodo619 man I got huge ass feet, size 15, so having a 12 inch wide almost board was beautiful, I'm telling you back in the day I use to destroy boards because of my big ass feet, especially birdhouse, and world industries, but then almost came out with the wide board and it was amazing...lol
It is amazing to see Mullen do this trick, there's such a noticeable gap between the initial flip and the rotation change, when he kicks his back foot out I geek so hard I get a physical chill up my spine... I guess once you get the actual mechanics down, you can practice popping it higher and higher, giving you more time to stretch out the gap between the two moments. It's great to see the host come back to tighten up the next day. PS. Im a brand new Jonny giger fan, but I'm loving these videos. I saw this. the Casper slide and the Darkslide vids a couple days ago, but this is me coming back to watch them all in order!
I remember that unlock the mullen video at the end was incredible. There was some really good skaters like steve caballero, bob burnquist and many others, but mullen leaves them all miles away
Dude has a killer attitude. Love these videos and how he analyzes and breaks down the trick. Makes you remember how crazy ahead of his time Mullen was.
Watched one vid (treflip-darkslide) and I'm hooked. Love your attitude, process, and sticktoitiveness. I'm 33 and I lost the ability to skate at 21 due to a car accident which shattered my leg and did plenty of nerve damage, so now I watch.
Very clean and nice trick. I feel like Mullen's background in freestyle skateboarding seriously helped advance his bosrd control to the point where he can do all of the tricks he does
It's so hard I feel like if you didn't skateboard you wouldn't understand why it was so hard. Maybe that's why he was so good, nobody told him it was almost impossible
Young skaters need to watch this vid!! Not only do you show how hard you need to work to pull off an awesome trick but you bring the Mullen out! Everyone needs the Mullen! Thanks for the joy of this video, my 46 yr old ass is heading outside right now to try this.
Holy Crap. How is this even POSSIBLE lol Incredibly impressive. How does someone even think. "hmmm know, Imma dooo This" and Bam new impossible trick lol Thank you Rodney Mullen without you skateboarding would never have been what it is today
Often tricks happen by accident. Like when Im feeling experimental with my board, Ill just try random stuff and see what happens. Or I do my usual tricks in a different way. Every now and then something weird happens and if you can repeat that, congratulations new trick. At least this is true for underflips and late flips - they happen accidentally.
Love Rodney's tricks and its awesome to see you explain them like this! props for getting this man and for even trying it! also that grip art is sick ;)
Would love to see a video Of a Johnny explaining tricks and what makes them more difficult then the average trick. As a person who doesn't skate and watches I loved seeing him break this down.
I know this is an old video but thanks for making it. As someone who has never been a skater but always been amazed at how people can skate these video's are great. Breaking down each trick is like crack to me. And Mullen is a god. Thanks again!
Break down the physics of the feet placement and more slowmo cameras and angles. I love seeing you learn how to break down tricks like he does so that hopefully by episode 10 you will have the fundamentals to try inventing a trick of your own with combining the underlying movements you know the board is capable of.
Hell yeah man. You’re effort and dedication is incredible. I’m fairly new to this channel and I love what I see. No matter how many times you fail, it doesn’t compare to the times you succeed man 👍👍
Great attempts dude! That semi flip always blew my mind, so hard when really understand whats happening. Andy Anderson has some pretty good old-school Rodney-style-freestyle tricks, these days, including a semi variation. One thing I wanted to point out: notice how tucked up Rodney's knees are at the top of his semi. He's pulling his feet up with his whole body to flip the board, which is I think why his board flips so slow and steazy like it does (vs late-flip flicking it fast the most people try it). In other words, use ankle pivot to balance the board on your foot, and not flick it, but pump your feet up giving the board a slower flip motion.. Idk LOL that sounds impossible but many things Rodney did/does are so... Great series - looking forward to watching the rest of these.
I wish this were Instagram so I could give you a "love" reaction, I'm sharing this to my 14 year old brother Peyton whom just got into skateboarding. Thank you for your channel, content, energy, & hard work.
Such a beautiful trick. You and I are similar as far as not stopping until you get a trick dialed down and perfect. When I learn a new trick I won't film it until I actually get it super clean. Not that I'm comparing myself to you, you're absolutely insane. Mad respect to you
Steezy but Sleezy strategy man, but i once tried a nollie late double flip, landed it perfect first t, was super stoked but unable to reland it on film 😂
keep up the good work dude i can appreciate him trying the trick drilling the trick and still not feeling content with it and still push to make it better
John jacobjingle nah mannnnnn, Tony Hawk it the best mannnnn, like he’s totally way cooler brooo Haha but seriously when I was a kid I played THPS a bunch on gameboy, and this video is great cos it brings back so many memories of countless hours of free playing and trying to build up points. I’ve never been a good skater but it’s very cool to see others getting after it I don’t really follow skating now, but have any of the young guys managed to surpass the crazy skills of guys in the 90’s and early 2000’s? I know freestyle moto and bmx and scooters have gone mental with the nitro crew, but are there modern skaters doing what Bam and Tony and Rodney and the boys did back in the day?
The best thing about the OG Tony Hawk game is unlocking the Mullen video
That was my skatual awakening
Literally made me fall in love with skating even though I can’t skate myself.
1999 me while playing THPS1: Some of the tricks obviously aren't from real life but still awesome [Unlocks Rodney Mullen video] oh wait
Swear to god bro that changed me honestly 🤩
I wore baggy pants from this day on.
Just imagine playing a game of SKATE and this dude pulls out a semi flip...
It would give me a half chub and if he pulls two semis I'm going full chub
I would need him to pull out a white board and markers to explain the variation of the flip from what you do with your feet.
if he did i would just pull out a semi
Epidemic - illen spree
Along with the exact math and physics proofs.
Then I might brake my ankle.
Not from skating but from the maths.
yeah, and then imagine this while this dude from the clip pulls out his ass
Credits to the guy in the background setting up his trick at 3:58, a true skater.
You're the only one who noticed I think
It's a blackhole kickflip I think
I think it’s a crackflip
🤣
You're all mistaken. That is the patented double cheek slide
That's it. I'm almost 30, I'm gonna get back skating. Great video!
Don't do it! Trust me, I speak from experience.
@@smaller_cathedrals haha just keeping it flat, a few flips here and there, nothing fancy, my knee still reminds me of my last skate fall
Italo Muniz Do it! I’m 31 and trying to learn again. Landed my first stationary shuvvit the other day. Goals are to learn to kickflip and to drop in on a little ramp
@@willhelliwell awesome! Keep training man! We'll form the generation of ""old"" guys still rocking it
I’m 27, I haven’t skated seriously since I was 14...the remasters of THPS 1 and 2 makes me want to pick up my board again
Full moon at 4:00
Them cheeks!
Check
that's a great trick XD
Hardest trick of the century
Cheeky
Rodney Mullen skates with a PS2 controller
Phobeeb best comment iv seen about mullen in a while😂
Lol
For real now I gotta go play..
This is kinda funny lol
It really look like tony hawk underground when ever I see footage

I always wondered how many hours Mullen has put into practicing tricks. He is just so far ahead of anyone else.
Flipping under a full moon 4:00
wtf😂
Still bright outside and the full moon is up
Inspiring words! "Figure out what you're doing wrong and do it right."

Xzafex this is CZcams not reddit
after hearing this motivational phrase I was able to do things right after doing them wrong! Thank you Jonny!
Shit had i known that 15 years ago i would be a pro skater by now :')
Same here bro.
All these years wasted not figuring out how to do everything better. :(
I love that while Jonnys trying to pull of the nearly impossible semi flip another skater rides by and does the easiest trick and probably the first trick anyone learns and then like any supportive person should do, Jonny applauds him and shakes his hand as if he just nailed something huge.

i also dont love that some random dude mooned the camera at 4:00 💀
@@won2600 I thought that was hilarious. That's the same guy
4:00 still bright outside and the full moon is up 😴
And he shakes the guts hand 50 seconds later
5:35 - “Figure what you’ve been doing wrong, do it right and… that’s the thing!”
That’s some real deep life advice here. 😂
4:00 sum dude really be spreadin his cheaks…
That shit was cheeky asf
dude was trying to clown and got no response. then a handshake and dude making the vid out did him. well done.
kitchen cow i had too rewind
whatwas that trcik called
Hahaha that was classic 👌🏻
Stunning trick, strikes me every time. When I watched Rodney doing it on regular speed (not slow motion) I couldn't even comprehend what the hell he had done. It looks like some warp glitch on reality.
Ah Rodney, so very satisfying to watch his tricks. Just amazing. Thanks for showing the level of determination it takes to land any of his tricks
It's amazing to me that Rodney can do something with a skateboard and a small bit of curb that is so difficult that nobody else will do it for 25+ years. True Legend.
Rodney made his mark as the greatest ever & that will stand through the generations
I couldn't agree more. They still haven't named every trick he invented.
Long ago I gave up skating after my left leg came off at the knee. But I still enjoy watching skate vids. But Mullen's trick where and still are some of the greatest.
hell yeah
I agree, back when freestyle was a thing he was the king. Freestyle had a short life span and instead he just transferred to street. I remember that time and thinking poor guy, his reign is over! But he thrived and innovated instead! Man the guy became a huge influence on street skating and is like a God. He is a an example of how adaptable skateboarding is to any terrain. I never saw street skating the same way.
Hmm..EVER? top 5 for sure.. I was always an Andrew Reynolds fan but Mullen could grind with the best and may be the best grinder. But best ever is a reach. I do respect your opinion and for the record, hes always the 2nd player I max out on THPS.
Johnny, your enthusiasm and love for the art of "the process" and practice are inspiring. Those skills are transferrable to any difficult endeavor that's worth doing well. Bravo!
I love this video, and the format. Keep it up mate!
rodney would be proud! Props for rewatching and deciding to redo it. proves real commitment :)
JonasGanopoulos thanks man!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
This comment made me think mr mullen had died... Thank god he did not
you speak as if Rodney is dead
Same, lol. I had to stop and think about it for a second.
I had to search...just in case
Love this style of video Jonny, it’s nice to see the explanation of the trick and then see you try to do it. Do loads more of these!
Nathan Jones i will try my best 🙏🏼
Yeah, he does a good job making the trick understandable.
Maybe you could slow down the example clip a bit more. Take it frame by frame. I mean wtf, seriously what is going on here? (joking)
It would also be interesting to sync your footage with it and show the clips side by side. Front foot is very different.
4:00 ?

Not even a skater but same. Guy is the 🐐
Did Mullen accomplish double jumping
His boards were known to have an extra pop to them, he knew his science. For all we know yes he did.
No, he just designed a board that was superior pop than others, enjoi boards were tops, then almost now, and i love them, I have tried other boards, they don't compare, plus they make them super wide i have huge feet so that's nice.

I used a claw controller hold to do all of the flatground tricks... inputted with my index finger. Love THPS2 :)
+1 for Mullen only
I only played as Mullen... but only after I had unlocked his video at the end. Insanity.
Gives you a new level of respect for how much time and effort Rodney must have poured into reaching his level of skill.

Very clean and nice trick. I feel like Mullen's background in freestyle skateboarding seriously helped advance his bosrd control to the point where he can do all of the tricks he does
thanks

Amazing man. I sadly gave up skateboarding over a decade ago, Rodney Mullen was definitely someone I looked up to.
Rodney said that "it wasn't that hard" hahahahaha
haha of corse! that's why he's the goat :D
It's so hard I feel like if you didn't skateboard you wouldn't understand why it was so hard. Maybe that's why he was so good, nobody told him it was almost impossible
Rodney also said that once you understand the positioning of the feet and body, any trick is easy.
@nigling his TED talk is pretty legit, check it out
@nigling yea he has been doing a bit of inspirational talks
Such a cool flip...bravo for getting it clean
You rock dude. Great attitude and amazing skills. Fun to watch.
U should put ur final trick edit next to rodneys for comparison itd be cool. good job man hope ur channel grows now
jam emann yes do this
I was thinking hinting the same thing & maybe a thanks/shout out to who evers trick he's doing 🤘🏼👍🏼👊🏼😀
I have no idea who you are but this was a good watch bro. You learned it in 2 days so Im guessing you are pretty good at what you do. 10/10

Thank you Rodney Mullen without you skateboarding would never have been what it is today
Well Mullen invented the Impossible while injured and sitting down 😂
Often tricks happen by accident. Like when Im feeling experimental with my board, Ill just try random stuff and see what happens. Or I do my usual tricks in a different way. Every now and then something weird happens and if you can repeat that, congratulations new trick. At least this is true for underflips and late flips - they happen accidentally.
Love Rodney's tricks and its awesome to see you explain them like this! props for getting this man and for even trying it! also that grip art is sick ;)
Marc Swan thanks man! my gf is responsible for the grip art 💪🏼🙏🏼
Super smooth once you nailed it 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Would love to see a video Of a Johnny explaining tricks and what makes them more difficult then the average trick. As a person who doesn't skate and watches I loved seeing him break this down.
I'm impressed by your foot precision ! All the thing to be done in such a small time. Wow ! Thanks ! :-)
Awesome! Great idea for a series!
Long time fan of yours but first time commenting :)
That was sick my dude keep it up!
legend!!! love the way you put in the time to clean up the trick.
Attempting Rodney Mullen tricks? Awesome, and daunting video concept! Well done!
Respect! I was screaming yess right before you did when you landed it at the end lmao
nice one to save for BATB next year...
I really really hope they call my boy Giger to BATB next year.
Yeah wish they would do another pros vs Joe's again
except giger isnt a joe anymore lol i mean any revive pro is a joe as far as BATB standards go but i'd be remiss if i didnt correct you lol
They are scared of what the new Jonny would bring to the BATB. I'd like to see Jonny and Mike Mo next year, round 1
people still watch the berrics lmaoooooo
I know this is an old video but thanks for making it. As someone who has never been a skater but always been amazed at how people can skate these video's are great. Breaking down each trick is like crack to me. And Mullen is a god. Thanks again!
that last one looked so sickkk! love the videos keep up the great work
Amazing trick! Love the majora grip too!
Ryan Tye 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
This series is going to be awesome. Unreal stuff man. Keep it coming.
Keenan Moore glad you liked it 💪🏼🙏🏼
The fact that you learned the trick so quickly is insane. Good job man!
Props man it's nice to someone trying to do some of his tricks.
The other thing rodney does in the video is he lets the board hang on his back foot before he flips it. You flip it as soon as you kick it.
Well yeah but Rodney can float.
Exactly
He's a fraction of a fraction of the skater Mullen is so ya that's the only way he can get it done
To be fair, he doesn't have the slo-mo hack and the moon gravity turned on like Rodney.
Your camera quality is amazing ‼️
Giger, really enjoy everything about your videos. Cheers.
8:15 Superb. Well done man.
Hey that's some quality content, filming very well done, I appreciate it Jonny! Congrats
uhhh thanks for the nice feedback :)
Break down the physics of the feet placement and more slowmo cameras and angles. I love seeing you learn how to break down tricks like he does so that hopefully by episode 10 you will have the fundamentals to try inventing a trick of your own with combining the underlying movements you know the board is capable of.
Nice dude. Satisfying to see you get them down clean.
I love that smile on his face when he feels like he's starting to get it.
It seems like a beginning of a great series! :) awesome that you nailed the semi flip, it looked awesome! :)
uhhh thanks man :) we'll keep it up!!
I have to stop watching Rodney mullen every time I take my skateboard in the street and try ..i am 54 years old..injured every time 😪
Me too. But the first time i did a primo to casper was at age 30, twoish years ago. Took me two hours and multiple rash on my hips and elbows.
Hell yeah man. You’re effort and dedication is incredible. I’m fairly new to this channel and I love what I see. No matter how many times you fail, it doesn’t compare to the times you succeed man 👍👍
This is flippin' awesome!
they might as well put the semiflip description in chinese, wouldn’t make a difference. Also 4:00 lol.
Ein Dude 😂😂😂😂
Going through the comments..... you're like the only other person to notice that lololol
Great attempts dude! That semi flip always blew my mind, so hard when really understand whats happening. Andy Anderson has some pretty good old-school Rodney-style-freestyle tricks, these days, including a semi variation. One thing I wanted to point out: notice how tucked up Rodney's knees are at the top of his semi. He's pulling his feet up with his whole body to flip the board, which is I think why his board flips so slow and steazy like it does (vs late-flip flicking it fast the most people try it). In other words, use ankle pivot to balance the board on your foot, and not flick it, but pump your feet up giving the board a slower flip motion.. Idk LOL that sounds impossible but many things Rodney did/does are so... Great series - looking forward to watching the rest of these.
"That's how it works! Figure out what you're doing wrong... do it right... And thats the thing"
Words to live by
Love the dedication bruva. And that trick is 🔥.....
Best video I've seen on your page so far
then you should watch the flatground project!
I wish this were Instagram so I could give you a "love" reaction, I'm sharing this to my 14 year old brother Peyton whom just got into skateboarding. Thank you for your channel, content, energy, & hard work.
Well done, mate!!! You did it perfect!! Good aproach and study of the whole thing till you got it!! Congrats!!
AWESOME MAN! YOU're REAL PRO!
Such a beautiful trick. You and I are similar as far as not stopping until you get a trick dialed down and perfect. When I learn a new trick I won't film it until I actually get it super clean. Not that I'm comparing myself to you, you're absolutely insane. Mad respect to you
Steezy but Sleezy strategy man, but i once tried a nollie late double flip, landed it perfect first t, was super stoked but unable to reland it on film 😂
Jonny Giger It just be like that sometimes
liking the format Jonny, keep this series up. Get Dario to try one with you
Evan Garland i will!
thats insaine. one of my fav's.
I liked for the great explanation and effort you put it! Keep the vids up!
Love it! You’re bloody entertaining and this is a really great tribute to a true legend. Keep it up!
Ps watching from New Zealand!
When tony hawk 2 came out everybody was still on Tony Hawk, I was always like woah RODNEY MULLEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
keep up the good work dude i can appreciate him trying the trick drilling the trick and still not feeling content with it and still push to make it better
Definitely one of the best ever
Moral of the story is that Mullen is the best street skater ever, forever. But it's fun watching you try 😂..You are not alone
John jacobjingle nah mannnnnn, Tony Hawk it the best mannnnn, like he’s totally way cooler brooo
Haha but seriously when I was a kid I played THPS a bunch on gameboy, and this video is great cos it brings back so many memories of countless hours of free playing and trying to build up points. I’ve never been a good skater but it’s very cool to see others getting after it
I don’t really follow skating now, but have any of the young guys managed to surpass the crazy skills of guys in the 90’s and early 2000’s? I know freestyle moto and bmx and scooters have gone mental with the nitro crew, but are there modern skaters doing what Bam and Tony and Rodney and the boys did back in the day?
@GuitarMusic I was about to say these are two whole different things
Realmente é legal vê ele tentando kkk
4:00 Is it just me or do I smell something?
This trick is so cool. So nice to watch. And you did it great.
I appreciate the effort so much that I came back to watch the 1st episode bro❤
