i quite like the odd naming conventions they use for things as well
Would be good if they widened it out and invited a few international heads. I just remembered that Malto was in it last year, bizarrely.
I really dig Yuri. Heās got a totally wild style.

Giovanniās long T-shirt, long shorts combo made it look like he had really tiny legs and it wasnāt doing his style any favours
Luan is the best

Canāt remember seeing much doing his style any favoursā¦
Heās obviously skilled and can do shit not that many people do but he also seems to lack certain things, like when he struggles with kickflip backtails or kickflip noseslides, which are pretty basic and common tricks compared to some other stuff he has on lock.
I like fakie tricks loads but heās kinda 2020ās answer to Sammy Baptista only skating switch back in the Shortyās days. Not sure thatās a deliberate choice (like Hsu in that Emerica vid, where Miner decided to edit his section like this, making it switch only). Some people choose their trick bag, some trick bags choose some people?
Heās 18 and had a big manās part in a Primitive video filled with really really good parts. He did a cab hurricane revert on a legit rail and made it look great. How are we criticising this kid? Jesus

That Primitive Gio piece was so good but Carlos was way off about his hair, he looks like a fuzzy match now, long hair def gave him more appeal, donāt know what Carlos was thinking.
No criticism, I enjoyed the cab backtail and that was the first Iād seem of him - I havenāt seen his primitive part. Itās just worth saying that plenty of great skateboarding has been ruined by bad sartorial choices, and all he needs to do is get some shorts that fit him.
If thatās the worst anyone can say about him, heās doing ok
perhaps just me but i preferred his look to Luansā¦

Well tbf, Iād put short T-shirt over long sleeve T-shirt in the same ādonāt do itā category as below the knee baggy shorts, but at least Luanās clothes fit him.
Either way, the cab backtail and the fs flip lip were both excellent

I wish Luan would get out in the streets and film some proper parts. Heās so wasted in street league and Flip. Should move to Primitive and join the dream team

I do wonder what keeps him at Flip, he seems a bit of an anomaly there in terms of team career point - heās so much better than the other active pros on the team (Berger, Gonzales, Majerus) and still at the peak of his career unlike the legacy pros (Penny, Glifberg, Burnquist etc). Heās one of the best skateboarders in the world, why is he languishing on a commercially dead board company?
Just checked Flips website - they only have 4 pro boards on sale and a Luan board isnāt one of themā¦
