Oh forgot to ask what kind of shoes is bastien wearing these days ? I can almost never tell



DC

They've sunk their claws into yet another...

just to nerd out a bit, i THINK he was wearing mikey taylor's upcoming shoe in gray when he was skating the contest.


i believe so aswell

had to tivo that shit to check out bastien skate, there were a few tricks i was especially syked on, shecks nosegrind revert from bank to bank across the quarter was awesome, nyjah wasn't really rubbin me the wrong way like in the past, obviously bastien was syking me up, and the few parts where i unmuted the TV to hear an interview or whatever was pretty humorous.......

but i don't understand how anyone could watch that and think that skateboarding should be on TV in that way

You are right, lets go back to Alex Klein's OIAM complete with barrel jumping, set-up speed contests, graphics competitions, and the lowest ollie with the best skills gets eliminated.

That is the ticket!

2nd is 40 000$ but I don't know about third, However the best line worth 10 000$ (I think it's called the gatorade or monster prize or something).

Forreal tho nyjah's style has only been getting better & better over the years. He lands bolts more often than not and knows how to properly lock into grinds. I'm not saying he has one of the best styles or anything but it's solid at the very least. It'll only get better as he gets older, he's still only 17 years old

He should have kept the dreads.  He looks like a dweeb in the hat.

I will agree with the bolts though.  He's fuckin' supernatural with his consistency and landings, I wanna say he's the second coming of some former legendary pro but I don't know if there's ever been a similar contest ruler for so long who also killed it in the street.  It kind of makes me sick.

I think Nyjah still skates like a little kid. There is a difference. Watch some old footage younger dudes when they were 17 and you'll see what I mean. The dude is gnarly though. Hopefully when he gets older his style will get better. I used to hate watching Sheckler but he kinda grew up and now I don't mind watching him. Don't get me wrong. I still fucking hate Sheckler but the dude does rip.

It's crazy to think Sheckler's only 22.  Not to say he's a veteran pro, but it seems like he's been around for ever as we've had to watch him grow from fucking training diapers riding for "Clockwerk" to now.  I am skeptical of him, but I somehow want to see him have the longevity to really push the envelope in big gaps etc. just for the sake of progression.
I totally agree about Nyjah, he's doing the most insane stuff with insane consistentcy, bolts pretty much 99% of the time, but I just can't help but still see the same tensed arm, tightened fist style as when he was tick tacking in games of skate vs. cole.  Not to take too much away from him, the dude fucking pulled a kf bs noseblunt slide on a handrail first try as the competition ender when he had already won...  it's just unheard of.

nyjah just needs to gain some weight or wear baggier pants, or both.

i feel like bastien was just having an off day or something, from other contests it seems like he usually lands all the bs flips/ double flip variations first try

Watched the finals.  Top ten opinions on the matter.

1. Felix and Sal, you both are fucking terrible.  I mean monumentally atrocious.  I'm dumbfounded that people pay you, you suck.

2.  Nyjah is just too good.

3.  I get it, P-rod prays to his fucking hat every time.  Stop showing it.

4.  Scoring is wack

5. How the fuck did Luan not make it? Video in other thread.

6.  The runs deal was okay.  The whole contest was mostly boring. 

7  I hated Chaz a little less.

8. Mikey Taylor seems safe and dull.  I'm surprised every time he lands something.  What does it mean?  He's good, I liked his Mindfield part.

9.  Bastien should win some.  It'll irritate people.

10.  No mention of anything in qualifiers (that I saw) It's the first event, who was there, what went down?  How did puds break his arm or whatevs?

It was free.  The filming was decent.  Bastien's bail on the double flip over the whole pyramid gap thing was sick.  I mean realistically how could you get much better.  It is on ESPN.

Hyped for Bastien!  $40K will make a big difference to his life.  He's got a kid or kids doesn't he?

He would have been a little nervous going into his first SL.  Give him a few more and he'll be battling Nyjah for top spot for sure.
