Dedicated to Danny. RIP legend.
i don’t know where to put this, in the youtube thread? here? this weirdness popped up on youtube and it turns out its that guy on instagram who does mad tricks standing still -
so many questions, so few answers.
Definitely lots of questions! Style? No not really. Only skateboarder where he lives, I don’t think so. There’s a guy called Neil Sheehan who runs Cloud Skateboards I think he’s from Cork possibly. Also runs juiceboxforyou, he puts on events at his local outdoor park and stuff. He went viral for skating one of THPS board controller things.
it’s like, he does some crazy treflip late flip thing and it just leaves you cold. i find it really odd when there’s skaters with that much tech ability but they use it to do horrible tricks. that Jonny Giger guy is similar, could be doing amazing ledge tech but instead does horrible flatground
I already regret clicking on that. I’m not fussed about the guy skating. How is this a weird skate park? It looks pretty standard and vanilla to me. How many parks in london have been made under bridges/arches? Fucking loads!
Fuck click bait disposable internet content. It has no place in skateboarding.
its funny when you watch a video with a US guy going to a skatepark that they think is terrible but its better than 90% of UK parks. that video being a great example, as you say thats a standard park here. the fact that it has a skateable ledge instantly makes it better than quite a few round here
question 1 being what the fuck did they do to the perspective of the park in the thumbnail
i think the thumbnail is a fingerboard model no?
I had an issue with him having 3 és stickers on his board but wearing NB# shoes. But that’s more my problem than his.

Haven’t watched it but I have this problem due to rolling my front ankle one too many times, haven’t been able to kickflip for 18 months now and have gone long spells without them in the past.

Really good that DC vid.
No complaints with the music, loads of skaters.
The shoes at 14:58, were they called the 20 or something years back?
Had a pair almost exactly like that and they were so good.
That’s a Kalis Lite. One of the new versions of the OG.

I wonder what the og lynx would be like to skate now. They always took a little while to wear in.
Haven’t got round to watching it yet, what were the trousers like?
Varied with some very questionable pairs.
I’d like to see screen shots of your top 3 eyebrow raisers.
There’s a shocking pair of oversized denim shorts worn with what I think were Spectre re-issues, just like bitd.
