Controversial opinion.

I’ve always thought Tony Tave did them better.

Tony Tave was, is and always will be a beast

Can someone find me a stinking Nollie Inward Heel?

I always rated that trick.

For some reason I’m thinking Daniel Castillo or Adrian Lopez? Smaller skaters make them look super awkward.

This. All hunched up and mob-popping it and catching it 90.

Shudders.

all right all right, is there anything smaller skaters got props for?

Oh, absolutely. Just the reason I think nollie inward heels don’t ‘work’ for smaller skaters is perhaps because it’s a trick which requires a bit of a wind-up of the body and more importantly it needs a lot of space for the board to flip nicely and be caught before it reaches the ground.

There are loads of rad smaller skaters. Yonnie Cruz comes to mind.

Taller skater who does fucking stinking ones:

Nick Tucker has fake steeze on his, kicking his front foot out.

Is billy the only one left on TM from the good and evil era team?

Josh Harmony and Matt Bennett. I think Ed T is back on New Deal now, haha.

Forgot about Harmony, presumed he was retired

Yeah Nollie Inward heels are stinking on the whole I reckon, I should know, been doing them since 94, I remember learning them well, by accident. And they are the ones that pop/flop up rather than round too haha

Watching this episode right now, it’s alright even though I never really liked his skating. He’s like the US Tibaud Fradin because of the tight truck, can’t turn, tic tac thing (even though I kinda liked Tibaud, seemed like a nice dude)

Yes this is unrelated, and this comment hopelessly late, but loved that. The ‘swings’ one that came along in the feed directly after was even better… genius in fact. Thanks for making me smile today.

Bit of a thread hijack but couldn’t resist…

About an hour in. Not bad so far.

Fireproof paint lol

Missed a few and nearly didn’t bother with this Sammy Baptista one, I assumed it would be pretty boring but shit, 10 mins in and it’s pretty fucked up.

Enjoyed the SB one
