dudes is incredible but I just cant get into it

dude is incredible and I can get into it.

not digging the athlete vibe either, but I gotta admit that was one of his best efforts yet.
lots of crazy stuff in there. the 360 at southbank had me fucked up
-
holy crap, bunch of wtf tricks in there. back three lipslide, nollie bs heel with the securities around, five-o a kinked skinny rail without tail drag, the ender... wow.
-
Can't get into it either but the front 3 on the steep brick bank and back 3 at Southbank were very cool.

He's def one of the gnarliest out rn. I honestly expected more after the halfcab back Smith
Anybody else remember when it was a stereotype that black people didn't do rails? When did that change?

growing up i remember seeing guys like sheffey, alphonso rawls, and kevin taylor skate rails, so this stereotype is something ive never heard/thought of.

i usedta believe that but i threw it to my friend who goes 'you're just thinking of lil stevie and a few other folks [pat washington, karl watson, jovontae]' and then he started naming black skaters that went for it from ray barbee to gershon to sheffey to kenny hughes.
i think i was counting wiggers like rob welsh and josh kalis as black or like lumping 'hip hop manual skaters' together.

Does anyone remember which 411 or Logic that second song was in? I think it might have been a slower version that was used.
Edit: Just found it. Turns out it was from 411 #45 and it was the 411 Snowboarding commercial lol. https://youtu.be/uxBpU6jcqp0?t=18m15s
-
what is this bullshit you guys are talking about with this "athlete" stuff? you mean like he can skate fast and ollie high and do tricks that are really hard for other people? wow yeah, such a bummer of a set of traits to have.

always thought it was funny to see the little kid dancing in that commercial. that issue of 411 was cool, mike v sure did check his emails a lot.

good tricks, good style, skates everything. what's not to like?

I think its that he has a high technical ability but no creativity and a bland style. Pair that with constantly wearing the poison shit hat because of a contract and he’s not exactly Gonz, Quim, Huf, or any of the guys from the generation when real was actually cool.
Now deluxe is just bland jocks and woman beaters, how the mighty have fallen.
My feelings on Zion are mixed, but know he’s talented. He reminds me of a late-era Zero rider- like, I know the stuff he is doing is gnarly, but its unrelatable and lacks emotion.
Like, unless you are grinding up the rail, I never ever want to see another ender at hollywood high.
-
An athlete is a go-to criticism when you don't have a reason for liking someone really good. I don't care for Shane O'Neil but saying it's because he's an athlete seems like a cop-out. All skaters are athletes. This kid has the best fs big spin and can kill anything.
-
damn some fucked up shit in their, i enjoy watching it but for me it's not super relateable cos i can't comprehend how is doing any of that shit.
"Athlete Vibe" is one of the dumbest things i've ever heard. i guess he can do it in dickies and punk bands shirts from 20-30 years ago to alleviate that. maybe have his keys on his belt loop.

Shane O’Neill is actually creative as fuck though
-
I fuck with Zion but down the line when he's an og, his "in his prime" footage is gonna be ruined by that fuckin redbull cap
-
Last trick was fucked, Hollywood 16 is a skate park rail to these kids, insane

People who criticize Shane O'Neill's skating by and large don't know what they're saying

And all this 10000%
Even Big L couldn't save that complete boring nonsense.

I think it's because he's black.

also 0 tricks going slow.

he should wear a hat that doesn't allow him to make a living as a pro skateboarder.

Don't forget Kareem. His Trilogy part had a ton of rails.
Edit: while we are on the topic, 2 of the first 3 kink rails done were by Sheffey and Tyrone Olson. If you believe Steve Celentani's date on that video, Tyrone's might have even been before Gonz?
Edit 2: when I paste Steve's Facebook link it embeds the video but makes all the text in my comment disappear. Add this to the end of Facebook.com

Lots of dumb shit in this thread
-"black people used to not skate rails." (WTF is that)
-"athlete vibe" (his skating speaks for itself the jock is the one who cares so much about fits and cant look past it)
-"I personally dont like Shane O'Neil but..." (I'm more of a ATV type guy personally and I love Shane, everyone should)
-"0 switch tricks" (who fucking cares when you skate everything and do it big and fast)
-"a poor mans Bastien"-(they skate nothing alike at all).
C'mon Slap

I THOUGHT ONE OF THE 1ST TRICKS WAS A SWITCH BACK TAIL IN THOSE YELLOW SNEAKERS ???
EITHER WAY I TURNED THAT SHIT OFF AFTER THE 2ND BIG L SONG KICKS IN
I HATE WHEN SKATE VIDEOS HAVE THE SAME SONGS..
THERE IS FAR TOO MUCH GREAT MUSIC OUT THERE TO BE USING THE SAME SHIT
-
That part was dope. Wouldn't change a fucking thing.

Oldest clip of a flip onto a handrail that I know of was done by Sal Barbier, and Clyde Singleton has been going at rails fakie forever. New gen has Forrest, Windsor, and this guy named Nyjah something... so that is quite the baseless
-
0 switch tricks?
Haven’t watched yet but I can get behind this
-
He's gnarly. I feel like he's more well rounded that this part showed. Maybe he'll have a part soon with more tranny skating, and another at the end of the year with ledge/tech stuff.
-
dont nollie tricks count as switch aka fakie switch
-
0 switch tricks?
Did you actually watch the part? Bs bigspin to a switch fs bigspin down the next set.
-
5 days older and 500% better than me
-
I was tired and starting to zone out at the beginning but those yellow blazers legit woke me up
-
- are you stupid?
- yeah, stupid good, lady.
nollie bs heel and nollie heel were both a thing of beauty
-
i liked that. damn, Real's
team is STACKED AS F.
-
zion and foy are undeniably good, but i just not feeling that redbull athletic vibe
-
(http://i68.tinypic.com/6tg31c.png)
Zion only needs something like US army as a sponsor and he is ready for the olympics.
Not hating on him though. Looks like he is enjoying and it must feel nice to do all that grarly shit he is doing.
-
I actualy didnt mind him looking like that^,
the redbull cap with a airforce-bomberjack + red white dunks, like an all american hero, the american dream personified
He should go balls out, embrace that lame-ness but throw away the camo's with elastics at the bottom
also footage was good

Didn’t it have a police badge on it, too?
My only real complaint with the code was that it was edited by a “generic skate part” software program. You could literally put any song to that edit job. Fall Back needs short, punchy clips. Not establishing shots and post trick nonsense
-
That was incredible. Congrats to Zion and Real (and I suppose Red Bull as well).
I can see where the 'athlete' criticism comes. Some of the rail tricks just feel like dull filler. And seeing that Zion clearly has the talent to skate a more diverse set of obstacles (the full pipe and insane South Bank 360) makes me wish he would branch out a bit.
But, overall I thought that was a great part, and I'm about as jaded as they come.
Also, that Hollywood High trick was nuts. Seriously think about that trick for a second.

Heavy. In the running for SOTY 4 sure.

Go watch a Matt Field part.
-
He just reminds me of Ben Hatchel every time.... not my fave
-
He doesn't do real FS bigspins and it bugs me. He catches it after it rotates once, and turns the rest of it with his body. That's not a bigspin.
That's my only complaint.
-

are you that good?

Great part and this guy is really talented.
Sadly, saw it this morning and forgot about it, too much skate media

If soty goes to another how-many-kinks rail skater this year thats gonna be such a bummer. Not that I ever cared for soty much, I'm just tired of current rail skating. Foy definitely deserved it, but would have been nice to see louie or tiago get it last year.
-
Fucking hell that was heavy! And the music was good in my opinion. As usual with these "internet parts" I find there isn't enough lines? Maybe I'm wrong.
-
Shouldn’t the song order be switched?
I feel like most of these web parts are just plagiarizing Transworld Ty Evans but using Girl Ty Evans tech and that’s why it just feels so forced.
-
that was sick. you guys will hate on everything tht isnt the gonz.. i dont get it. sure the red bull hat is horrible BUT let the guy make some money damn.
-
Backtail was real nice. But this guy has such boring trick selection and spot selection. Foy is the same, the way their parts are edited, music, tricks, spots are just super forgetable. Make it interesting if you're that good.

It’s because these kids grew up with Baker 3 and not Baker 2G. They got the slick Hollywood sequel, not the gritty indie flick

You can't tell me the dude who did a fucking noseslide pop over to wallride has boring trick selection

really liked this part, he is like a mixture of sluggo and ishod

not a fan but that back tail on the curved hubba made me start to rethink that. Wish they didn't post the ender all over instagram.
-
The ender is a beautiful trick
Who else does those and on what obstacles

That's my only complaint.
Who said it was? Maybe he was being creative and went shuv late 180?? Either way it was caught and stomped
-
I have to say these (slightly) sketchy landings suit him really well. First thing I have seen from him that I liked, actually.

Thrasher said something along the lines of "best FS biggie in the game" on instagram the other day with this clip. He had a magnified or something similar a while back where they called what he does a bigspin and it's bugged me ever since.

Zion was like 6 when Baker 3 was made. Who knows what they grew up on. Probably Web parts and insta clips.
Because it sure doesn't remind me of iconic videos of the late 2000's/early 10's such as Stay Gold and Mindfield.

Such an accurate description hahaha
Zion's sick. I can see why people go for the "athletic" label, but also agree it's a cop out. It needs to be more well defined. Some of Zion's gear asks for it (running shorts, flashy Nikes, Red Bull), but you don't hear people screaming "athlete" at Miles Silvas when he's rocking his Adidas uniform.
