Gott admit, after realizing how fucked this country is due to the current political shit storm we are all in, KOTR is a great escape from all things fucked up into things fucked up in a more enjoyable manner.
It's a friendly reminder that the direction of life is always open for interpretation.

Laughed many times... Wanna go skating now...

Madars Apse sounds like an alien trying to do an impression of a human to blend in.
Evan Smith is very sick on a skateboard... but probably shouldn't be filmed talking any more.
I'm pulling for Foundation because I like the Sinclair hating on his own team and vice versa dynamic.

Justin Brock, Team Manager of Real?

Justin Brock, Team Manager of Real?
Actually a brilliant move on Real's part, giving them one more gnarly dude in the van like that dude who was the coach and still played in Slapshot.
Sinclair's fatass isn't flipping anything but cheeseburgers into his mouth but Brock can at least skate.
-
The wedding was really beautiful.
-
people who don't like KOTR don't realize how bad it could be
-
That wedding haha! Them reciting the vows was so awkward and amazing.
-
Based on the first episode, Evan will probably be MVP
The wedding!!
LOL at Nyjah's face when Rhino suggested he should get married
I'm hyped for this season
-
The intros giving me flashbacks to like Pawn Stars and American Pickers and whatever super formulaic reality shows I was watching like 5 years ago was made worth it by the skating. Pole jam contest alone was gnarly.
-
can anyone dial up post radical for non americans?
-
It really stressed me out that Glick couldn't pee in 2 minutes to secure some solid points, especially since no one on that team makes money, which is another thing I genuinely find disturbing and don't believe Foundation has no money to pay their riders. You feel good being the only person in your van who gets a paycheck Sinclair? Go fuck yourself.
-
the wedding stuff was golden

seeing zion take that slam and then walk away limping, telling andy roy he wasn't fucking with the thing anymore, it got me wondering. do you think those big brands (nike, red bull, monster energy) are down with their riders (dudes like zion and ninejah) participating in kotr? i could see somewhere down the road these "athlete" companies incorporating a list of prohibited activities into their riders' contracts, similar to what goes on in the mlb/nba/nfl. i remember when andrew bynum blew out his knee while bowling, and people got pissed saying that this guy shouldn't be doing any activities that could compromise his health during the season. i could see red bull telling their dudes like hey, no doing six foot pole jams during the sls season. at the end of the day, it is skateboarding, and they are professional skateboaders, but i could see the suits thinking that a lot of the unsavory antics that go down on kotr aren't great for that mainstream, sls audience they're trying to reach. but then i was thinking, maybe they are backing it, in the sense that it could add to these dudes' "street cred."

That’s how I felt about Nyjah whenever anybody talked to him and he would just fake laugh.

Thank you, sir.
-
That wedding was hilarious, these episodes are going to be great
-
that was awesome. really impressed, i was cracking up the whole time.
and i don't think it's nearly as deep as the post a couple up makes it out to be. Zion not wanting to fuck with a head high pole jam is just that...not wanting to fuck with a head high pole jam.
-
"KING OF THE FUCKIN ROAAAAAAAAAAH"
-
Zion's indy transfer during the race was dope
-
that was sick, that pole jam was super deadly.
so i guess justin brock can't earn points by skating then if he's a tm? i was kinda stoked to see him in this.
-
marriage scene had me tearin up :'(
-
Sinclair is my favorite part of this show by far.
-
KOTR Rules
KWalk and Zion are going to own the skate challenges for REAL
Did Nyjah even do one trick in the whole episode?
-
Does anyone know if they're doing the same format as last year? As in the episode is available to view online for a week until the next one is out, or am I going to have watch the bootleg youtube version of these?

what even is a jigsaw puzzle these days?

The wedding was so moving, I'm wondering if Cole and Aidan ever got that divorce
-
'Would you hold my hand underground, just so I could lead you to the roots?'
Up there with 'Is this for real or is this really real?'
I think they were both asking the same question in their own languages
-

The latter. They usually post the first episodes to draw in people to watch it on TV.
-
Andy Roy is the most obnoxious person in skateboarding.
Evan Smith is a very, very weird dude.
Why was Ninejah wearing dirtbike gloves the entire time?
Sinclair seems like a douche.
-
I love that they dressed Roy up as a troll. Can’t wait for that episode. Do you think he’s self aware enough to know that they were making fun of him?
-
what even is a jigsaw puzzle these days?
Some kid who worked at Target didn’t know what one was either. I was shocked
I was ready to tsk the wedding thing as being “gay is funny”, but it seemed like it was there to connect to Reno and the editing was sincere so I was relieved.
Weird that Burnett acted like he was surprised to find out Sinclair TMed Foundation too.
I don’t think JBrock will do much for Real. They’ve shied away from challenges for the non-skaters in recent years
-
So I already thought that Evan Smith was one of the GOATs but now I love him even more. That rattle snake polejam thing was INSANE!
Also, the I know the editing was corny and it's made for non-skaters to enjoy too but come on. Nyjah has put of some of the best street parts ever and he's still "the contest guy", Evan is simply, "just the weird dude", all they act like the only thing Madars brings to the table is being foreign?
-
Pretty sure they said Aidan Campbell had offers to ride for a better paying board company but stuck it out with Foundation.
Thought board companies didn't pay shit? Truth to the statement or just for the show? Can a euro tm weigh in?
-
Really enjoyed this episode. I'm expecting a good year. I thought last year's was kinda weak.
-
Forgot to add this. I was flabbergasted that no one did the edges/border of the puzzle before the middle. That's puzzle solving 101.
-

Wonder who tried to nab him... if anyone

Evan Smith knows someone else's pee isn't sterile, and is in fact quite filthy right? He drank all kinds of shit Nyjah got at Coachella
-
That was great. Stoked for this year.

Man thrasher does not put any foresight into these things. The FIRST event of a 2 week contest is some deadly launch pole? Reminded me of last year or the year before when they started with the long Ollie gap between two kickers and homeboy got broke off instantly cuz the wood broke upon landing. Who designs this shit?

I'm sure if he went to a "cooler" board company it would be easier for him to land a shoe deal, so maybe that's what they meant.

Most don't but if you're on a big board brand(element, plan b primitive etc) you get a salary but if you're on Tum Yeto you only get board royalties.

Evans probably a pretty normal dude but just playing up the wackiness and weirdness for the camera; kinda like Shane Heyl.

Pretty sure he's still trying to get SOTY. He's already had a thrasher cover and put out that ridiculous nike part and the element video is dropping this year so he'll probably have another cover that month. Winning kotr would be another cover he's in. This could be his year now that Nike is behind him.

Nyjah's been on it at least once before.

Nah, McCrank seems to have zero ego, he’s as down to earth as it gets. Also, McCrank in his prime is one of the greatest ever, so nah to that too
My family and I were coincidentally in Philadelphia when they had the X Games where they blocked off part of downtown for the “street” competition. My sister squeezes to the front row and Rick McCrank stopped warming up and said hi to my sister and told her how cool it was to see girls interested in skating.
I always remembered how nice he was to her. I liked him from The End and Menikmati, but after that experience, I liked him even more. What a fucking cool guy.

I was thinking king the same thing. They give real and element true to the word Legends and give their proclaimed ‘underdog’ foundation the pizza skateboard dudes.

Great idea to bring Merlino on! This is shaping up to be the best season so far. The early 90s session was glorious.
-
Until I saw Merlino eating a banana I thought the Foundation guys had it easy eating pizza all day. Correct me if I'm wrong,but did Nyjah do anything this episode?
-
nyjah isn't doing anything but neither did madras (sp) in this episode. didn't nyjah get buck last time with the kickflip a set to land on another board, i think he'll definitely come through but i'm sure he's going to contribute things that are big points but low risk for him, big rail stuff.
episode was great. love the show. don't get the evan hate, he's exactly how i'd expected he would be. he's got that cardiel type stoke going and is going to get some points and\or take a slam on every challenge.
-
Nyjah's probably just skating and on his phone the whole time. I bet he's all over the thrasher edit.
-
Nick MerlinoI looks exactly like this dude I hate from the bar so while I was rooting for foundation I now want them to lose. Element will probably win and I’m cool with that. Real just has no personality outside of skateboarding so I can’t get into them as a team.
-
Does Evan Smith have a fucking deathly hallows tattoo lmao
-
zion wasn't even wearing 90s gear, he had normal pants on?
and foundy seems like the most fun team by a long shot this year
-
Really thought Nyjah was going to step up on the Cardiel rail that Mason ended up boardsliding. Seemed like a challenge that was made for him.

The run-up (or lack thereof) on that narrow ass square rail was ridiculous. Front board was nuts.
-
Hard to cheer for Element when they have Nyjah trying to win skateboarding, but Evan Smith is amazing, and Mason is quickly becoming one of my favorites of the new up and comes.
Nick Merlino is something else.
I disagree with Real not having any personality, although the clips aren't showing it. Chima is always one of my favorite interviews.

I'm glad Corey Glick got time off from drumming for the Strokes. He seems like he's low-key killing it on Foundation.
It was also annoying that the Element edit featured Mason killing it, then switched to talking about how sick Evan Smith was towards the end, but that's what's called the MVP Edit.

Just watched 3rd ep. Nick Merlino FaceTiming his dad made me laugh my ass off.
-
You can already tell Nyjah's ego is getting in the way of the team winning. When Evan said he should get handcuffed because he's injured he just rejected that.
-
Also confused on the Evan hate as someone mentioned earlier. Saw him skate an am contest a long time ago, probably around 2010/2011. Dude landed every single trick every try. He seems to be killing it through episode 3
-
no ones hating on his skating..

Upon reflection you are correct. Further, his behavior is weird. Still, the dude rips to the point where it's not that difficult to look past eating weird things for an internet tv show.

For a vegan dude, he didn't really seem to mind eating pigs feet.

Evan performed with his band in SF last year and that is when I saw the guy was weird. I actually though the music in his video parts weren't that bad but man, when you see him play live, he's a mess and just an overall weird dude.
And is Merlino that short? In the new episode, they said he's like 5'2.
-

is he still? I don't really mind either way but he was outspoken about animal rights for a minute (even to the point of calling out DC) and then never really seemed to mention it again ... and DC continued to do every season of his shoe in suede

Then imitating him, and getting all those piercings, and just generally existing all made me laugh me ass off. I’m kind of starting to love Nick Merlino. The kid is funny.

This was a good episode. Perfect hangover material. Good vibes! 👍

for non american people full episode s03e03 is on piratebay, so is post radical (s01e03) but it has no seeders - any youtube link for european fiends? thank you in advance

Way too much andy roy screaming this year but it’s still good. Ninejah will do something crazy soon i’m sure
Andy Roy is the worst kind of mascot. Kwalks having to shut his dumb ass up, was long overdue.
Agreed with all the Merlino comments. Dude is a riot and aside from the damn banana, seems like a lockdown teammate.

I wonder if Viceland is gonna try to make a “story” out of Nyjah’s lack of participation. Not that there were that many more, but in the Thrasher edits he had at least has a few clips.

Ninejah is the biggest kook ever and a cry baby and Evan Smith is good at skating but he's look at me i am a wierd and do shrooms gimmick annoyed me the hell out of me much
-
I don’t even think it’s a gimmick though the dude is out of his damn mind
-
Nyjah cemented himself as someone I just can't like despite how good he is on a skateboard. Withholding judgement until the end but his performance isn't even gradable at this point since he hasn't done anything to help the team. I am also not opposed to skating with earbuds but on KOTR I'd assume the team vibe, which was coupled with TV cameras everywhere, would make you want to seem at least a little more team oriented.
-
What's up with the dreampop music during the montages? didn't really fit. that handcuff challenge seems like hell

The Viceland episodes show more behind the scenes and interviews. The Thrasher edits are shorter but show tricks and challenges that aren't in the show.
-
Made it through the first 2 Eps and haven't seen Nyjah do a single fucking trick. Can only conclude he is 100% bitchmade.

Foundation has a great team, this year I like all the teams, but I hope foundation wins, cole and Aidan are some of my favourites these past couple years.
The fact Justin Brock talked about Jack like he's a young kid is terrible, jack has been killing it for years, and should gone pro a couple years ago

Everyone complains about skateboarding being stale and not having enough weirdos. Then a genuine weirdo like Evan comes along, who is one of the best skaters around, and everyone just complains about him being too weird and gimmicky.
That whole mushroom argument is bullshit too. Gee, I wonder who else Slap idolizes that loved to eat mushrooms and do gnarly shit on a skateboard.

Skating on mushrooms sucks.
i have had fun skating on mushrooms before,
but mushrooms in front of a bunch of people ,some sticking cameras and microphones in your face, on the other hand seems like an awful idea.

im all for skating on mushrooms, landed my first blunt flip in on my mates backyard mini in the pissing rain!
i like both edits, thrasher ones seems to put in the tricks vice dont, like nigels fs feeble fs180, evens hippy jump around a pole and element handcuffed manual challenge!
-
Mushrooms don't seem to impair skating like most intoxicants do. I'm much more impressed that Evan's been eating all that gross shit while tripping. I can barely stomach a saveloy when I'm in such a state.
Evan's psycho-babble reminded me of these geezers:

That Merlino prank had me busting up laughing at work. Zion’s tender moment with his father was really touching. Tyson Peterson’s late body varial out of that kinker was gnarly. It amazes me how Corey Glick got those cover tricks like it was nothing.

Phelps dropping in switch surprised me...
-
despite popular gripes the show seems to be trending a lot more skate focused. even the gross shit like merlinos butt bubbler is elevated by the fact that its a prank and its bringing the team together. i think these are really well done and the fact that they're on hulu with no commercials right after airing is a real blessings
-
I find it suspect that the episode clearly shows Merlino with The Book in his hands yet he didn't think to look up all the "points" he scored?
-
i swear at the beginning of every episode burnout says they're in Sacramento, where is the titular road? or is sacremento a codewode for america.
i could have sworn it used to be a roadtrip(although i could be wrong)
My best guess is in the interest of a TV show and packing in more activities, they are just staying in california and keeping the trip smaller.

King of Norcal sounds proper at the moment. Merlino is going to freak out so bad seeing all the pranks,so worth it if Foundation wins

I think they dramatically reduced the travel when they put it on Vice to save on production costs. In the first 2 seasons on Vice, I'm pretty sure they have focused pretty much entirely on the Southwest going from basically West Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada and Cali. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a surprise end trip like last year with Hawaii.

Quoted for truth. I never really paid any close attention to Cole Wilson but he fucking rips. So much so that this series had me checking on Cole's board at the shop. A couple of those dudes deserve way better.
People try way too hard to hate on Element but they are a tight ship. Great vibes, great skateboarders. They have some cool shit happening. Real's team vibe is really strange. Kyle Walker is such a next level ripper, I loved when he basically told Andy Roy to shut the hell up when he was about to put something gnarly down on that rail. But the overall team vibe feels so lifeless. Justin Brock is one dumb sonofabitch. I saw Ramondetta lurking at the Lower Bobs jam in this week's ep.

why are people calling Foundation are underdogs, they have it easy:
Real - chill at a park you know and cook food
Element - have a pillow fight on a mini-ramp
Foundation - go across SF with Phelps and do tricks on Cover Spots including one into a freeway, eat while bombing a hill
Madars is Euro Garth Algar
Dumb ass Burnett literally wearing a professors graduation robes (and orgy mask) for a medieval thing talking about Ragnarok to a bunch of knights.
What’s the point of winning the ability to pick a mystery guest first if you can’t tell anything about them? Maybe if they stood closer and you could guess based off their shoes or something.

Its at Mckinley park at the top of Vermont st. on Potrero hill. Not right next to thrasher, but not too far either.
The rail is absolutely fucked. There’s like no runway. It is right near the Chavez bump though, so those back to back kind of make sense though.
It would be pretty amazing if “bomb vermont from the top, no foot drag” was a challenge. Not sure its ever been done. Hundreds of people bomb it on big wheels every Easter. Here’s a hilarious example of a person trying and failing to bomb it on a big wheel:
http://youtu.be/dSPRxIxdu88
On a board you go much faster. I’ve made like 2 turns and always end up foot dragging after that. I’ve never heard of anybody doing it, though I bet it’s possible

Dumb Burnett quote of the week:
"he's got Nosferatu good looks"
also, is "top pro" the only way he knows how to introduce skaters?

I fucking love Nick Merlino. The premise of the series of pranks is that you can put him up to anything and he fucking goes for it with all of his heart. That’s rad.

Jaws will win gnarliest slam, that was fucked up!

Cole Wilson incentivized to grind up a rail do a rock fakie and grind back down for $20 bucks.
Mason Silva incentivized to do a city challenge (and something gnarly but is done every year in some form) for $100 bucks and a 12 pack.

Watched it three times before I realized how bad that impact from the knee was... Dayumm smokey.

That was an intense episode. Foundation is winning me over every time they're on screen. Glad to see Element struggling with a challenge for once, as well.
I'm about to turn into my dad with the following comment: As brutal as Jaws' slam was, he is super lucky it only took out his teeth and not his nose. An impact like that straight up the nose probably would have gone to his brain and possibly killed him.

jaws is an idiot. must suck to bust your entire front row in, but at least he didn't fuck up some pearly whites.
foundation keeps being the best. the walter goodbye, cole grinding kinks when kinks aren't required and merlino being merlino.

I'd say its more NikeSB and Circa/pro-flow. I think everyone on Element has a legit shoe sponsor. I think only Aden has one at the moment.
Man, I feel bad for Merlino at this point, but its fucking hilarious.
That Jaws slam was absolutely fucked. I don't know how you can do that, but shit.

I want Foundation to win this thing in the worst way. Collectively the most likable group of dudes and down to skate anytime, anyplace. I am 100% buying Cole's board. I know we have a Foundation thread but I'll post this here - these dudes deserve better. I'd love it if they were all poached by companies that could treat them better. It was kind of messed up of Sinclair to make Merlino hill bomb in the diaper, then claimed he never had to do it after he turned his ass cheek into hamburger. I get "pranking" your teammate but that was shitty.
And Element are gnarly. To a man, they are all gnarly and I am guessing they take it all. Adding Foy and his work ethic to that squad almost doesn't even seem fair.
Real continues to be an absolute snoozefest. It's astonishing to me how worthless Justin Brock is. As a "team manager", as an adult, or in any human capacity. He's not a motivator, isn't particularly smart, and has a hard time reading and interpreting basic instructions.

The episode is available on the vice website as well as other websites for those outside the US. In the preview for the next episode they show him getting x-rays and a CAT scan and the dudes on real are saying they don't wanna just leave him in the hospital by himself but they'll probably have to. Jaws has talked about doing that drop before and said that's the highest he could go. You gotta respect the dude for going all out but he could've easily won the award for the biggest drop by doing something smaller.
I'm super stoked on foundation and I think good things will come out of this. Nobody is getting poached, those dudes love each other and are proud to be on foundation. Their loyalty is awesome.

It's extra gnarly bc it looks like he pushed back his entire lower jaw line. It's intense. And the look on his face immediately after it happened was one of confusion, he knew he was significantly injured. You could see it in his eyes.

i think that it just knocked out his front bottom teeth. that's just his secondary row of teeth you can see. that's why he's called jaws, cause of his shark teeth

Damn. Bashing Brock pretty hard! I don’t know the dude but he’s married with a family so he’s got to be somewhat good at being an adult. I’m pretty sure he’s injured on this kotr which is why he’s the TM but the dude did win kotr mvp a few years back.
I’m hoping Foundation wins this shit just like most others. And I hope Glick gets the cover cause this dude is fucking rad!!

Damn the Jaws slam was such a harsh way to end the episode. Pitted watching that shit. I'd never think of hitting my face on my knee on a drop but he's done so many you have to wonder if that some shit he's conscious of. Obviously he wasn't there but in general.
Beside that Cole's NBD grind up hand rail rock to fakie back down was classic. Nick going for round 2 on the hill bomb was great too.
-
That knee to the face did not sound or look fun. I've punched myself in the face boosting a 180 and it sucked. Jaws took it calmer than most.
How the fuck did Phil..I mean Bam AND Madars fit in Navarette's coffin?
I laugh everytime I hear "top pro" from Burnett's mouth,but it works for the masses I guess.
Justin Brock's wife was a Suicide Girl for a minute and thats really all I cared about his family life. The Real van seems boring to be in.

Didn't like the start of this episode, but by the halfway point I didn't want it to end. Merlino's diaper hillbomb and Jaws' fucked up slam....
Rooting for Foundation, like everyone else. I wanna be in the van with them. Never thought I'd see Slap on Nick Merlino's nuts while hating on Evan. I'm a fan of both. Evan's skating is truly in a realm of its own, and while he seems a little kooky on camera, I'm sure he'd be a good time in real life. People who are hyped-up and uninhibited always seem a little cringe in footage but are usually the best people to be around in person.

The fact that Foundation invests so much time and energy into pranking Merlino while messing up a lot of the challengesis awesome. It'd be great if they win but Evan Smith probably won it for Element on his points alone.

i had to bring this post in from another thread. in the best way possible this dude is just simply an alien doing a human impression. he is so genuinely funny (in an intentional way). if hes not skating in the Olympics-- which is he aptly qualified to do, they gotta put him in the commentator room next to Rowley. his observations and ways of explaining things crack me up.

vice has gotten progressively less fact based and more millenial opinions passed off as news. shane smith was a serious journalist and 5-10 yrs ago vice was possibly the best news source in the world but gavin left about 10 yrs ago and i have theory.
i think he and shane have a gentleman's agreement to split america into a left and right wing, kind of how colbert and john stewart did for a period.
gavin left vice w/ lots of money and a NDA so who knows? maybe it's a legit beef and he thinks 'i started hipsters, i'll make the right wing cool next. i'm king of promotion. and its possible shane is drinking too much, not into quality control but it sure seems like they're canadian mirrors of each other, pushing their agendas on the states. they wield an inordinate amount of influence on us for sure.
maybe john candy and michael moore had the right idea.

Mmm pretty sure (absolutely positive) Colbert wasn’t there for the red state crowd but was a satire of the opinion based tv shows on Fox News. This is obvious.
Vice’s HBO news show is legit journalism and probably some of the best stuff they’ve done. Viceland has documentary series that are legit, but a lot of their programming is tedious millennial bait, which is why Disney and FOX are big investors in Vice, because that is a coveted demographic.

weird that i thought it was weird that there was no way Jack Olson was the loudest person on real to take the mega phone, then i thought it was weird that he was because they don't have a person on the team like madars or merlino.
justin brock should of held the megaphone.
jaws is so insane, getting back in the van that slam the night before, then having to stay in emergencies all night too! what a trooper!

I love the fact that Zeke skated more than Nyjah in the last episode

As much as I'm not into Element the brand I sure do like most of the riders on this team a lot. This last episode seemed to have more skating in it than the other eps from this season which was sick to see. Lots of battling which I think makes for good tv.

I think it was pretty cool. I just think it's funny how much the pros were hyping up what they were doing in the interviews, then when it cut to him he appeared completely indifferent to what was going on. (Though he was probably just shy.)

Yeah that kid was just shy. Looked like an 8 or 10 stair he ollied too

i hated that good deed part so much. When evan got out of the van and instead of "hey we wanna skate with you" said "we want to put on a demo for you" i was already over it, and then putting like 4 or 5 different cuts of the team saying "dude I would be so stoked if this happened when I was a kid, wow" I see where their heads were at and it was cool of them, but maybe just evan smith and the reality tv aspect of it made it so cringe.
Mason silva is the sick but everyone else on that team drives me insane when they do the interviews.
-
That was sick for the kid, but some of the element team are a bit over the top especially Evan Smith and Madars. Foundation is jokes. I'm cheering for them too at this point. Real has the most skaters whose footage I enjoy, but they are pretty bland.

The Chief being concerned about the team doing the triples for no points and wasting time and then proceeding to waste everyones time with his 180 nosegrind for no points was hilarious. The team seemed a little bummed on that for sure.

Hahaha
I noticed that quick shot where he was staring at his phone as everyone else cheered Tyson on while he grinded that double-kink. Not a good look for Nyjah, also wonder if that clip was intentional on the editors' part to showcase his personality.

I doubt there are many shots where he doesn't have his phone in his hand. I doubt the editors want(ed) to show him looking like a lil bitch but if he's a lil bitch he's a lil bitch. The camera can't show what isn't there.

The Chief being concerned about the team doing the triples for no points and wasting time and then proceeding to waste everyones time with his 180 nosegrind for no points was hilarious. The team seemed a little bummed on that for sure.
Also, Dakota saying it's a dream of his to give a girl road head made me laugh out loud.
Let's not forget that the 180 nosegrind was on a 7 stair. Ultimate waste of time.
Not only that, but one of the smallest 7 stairs ever
I love how he got called out for that.
There’s a reason Burnett didn’t call him a top pro

It would've been funny if they didn't mention that Derek Elmendorf already did that giant double kinker. They could've hijacked his only claim to fame just like how Deathwish hijacked his nickname while he was on the come up. I think it was the tandem of stupid nickname and fedoras that ultimately destroyed his career.

Great episode this week made even better by not a single second of screen time given to Andy Roy.
Agreed with the posts above about Element. People can hate on the brand all they want but that's a crew of straight up workhorse. When it's time to work, they get after it. Putting Jamie Foy with them is almost unfair. I think Nyjah was hurt because he had a visible limp I think from sacking a rail the previous week. And I'm not trying to be contrary but I don't get the Nyjah hate, even a little bit. He's a rockstar. I could do without Mason Silva's spaz outs but they all rip and IMO they're going to be tough to beat. And my love for the Foundation crew grows exponentially by the week. Not sure if there is a more likable group in all of skateboarding.

I'd agree with the likableness of Foundation if that doxxing tub of lard Sinclair wasn't running their program, but that's just me.

Sinclair is pretty smart, he knows pranking and harassing merlino is gonna be entertaining and bring attention to the team. Plus he’s probably just an asshole
-

It still bums me out Merlino wrecked himself on that diapered hill bomb. I get hazing your buddies and pranking them but that was completely unnecessary. Then Sinclair tried to say he never said he had to do it. Merlino is going to be pissed when they do the recaps at the end and he sees how much they've been fucking with him.
-
Obviously he knew it was dangerous. Sinclair didn’t force him to do it, didn’t even take much persuasion then he got up and did it again
-
I don't think that hill bomb and ass rash is a big deal to Merlino like it is to most people. Those guys are perma-drunk ding dongs rolling around in filth for nickels all day anyway. Dakota Servold is one of the most responsible people in that van after all. Merlino is a stray dog that gets hit by a car and as long as it doesn't die, it's fine.

I honestly do not understand the appeal of KOTR. Shit is just all around corny and cringey. This does not re-present skating at all to me. I'm not hating on y'all...but hmmm...yeah well...there is a kind of bro-like posturing about it all. Very unintelligent. Entertainment value is minimal for the cultured, well-hung among us.
And to boot: I'll never buy a deck ever again from any brand that participates in that show.

I respect your opinion that it's not entertaining, but if you know anything about KOTR, you're not going into it to expand your intellectual capacity for fucks sake. That's like walking into a McDonalds and bitching about the poor quality of the food.

This part was super fucked up at the time, some of it still is. He had some nobatble coverage here and there (Hollywood 12 sw fs feeble, that gigantic kinked 5050 etc...) granted, he was on Powell, but honestly thought he’d blow up after this part when it came out. Also, I get that Nyjah bs 5050d that 39 kink rail and went over the sidewalk but that rail is still Derek Elmendorfs rail, I couldn’t believe the footage when I saw it, NOBODY was doing that in 2009. Wasn’t he getting Zero flow or something for a bit after the Powell thing?
-
Seeing that rail front 50d by Derek Elmendorf sure killed my stoke boner for Tyson's back 5050. I guess it was for points but that was sorta lame since it was an ABD by a relative unknown.
EDIT Damn also saw that he did a front 5050 on that long kinker rail for his ender in the Fun video. Jaime Foy did that in the same episode I think. Who at Thrasher hates this dude?

I think Jamie Foy did it in last the last season, but I’m pretty sure he popped out early. Not to take anything away from Foy, that’s a fucked up rail and he skated it on a whim one day during KOTR, which is really sick. But Elmendorfs Sheckler costume fit fitty finale is one of the craziest Enders nobody ever talks about

I sort of remember Element having an ad with him and Dallas way back,but he came and went pretty quick so I'm foggy on him.

I forgot about that fun part. Powells team was on point in that in video.

Yeah foy did that rail when deathwish did the muska day and he did pop out early

I just caught up to episode 7 and fucking laughed when the Chief was getting anal and bummed on the Real team for doing things that weren't on the book yet he delayed the whole team by doing the exact same thing with the 180 nosegrind. ;D
-
It's funny how fantasyesque the last name "Elmendorf" is.
It sounds like "Elves and dwarves" and it's also a wizardish name like Gandalf.
I'm not talking shit, it's just a name that would be comfortable uttered by an orc on the plains of whatever I lost interest in writing this.

random observation but, how was a krooked grind on a handrail 50 points while a switch five-o was 30?
also, i'll be first to say that nora day was pretty lame. okay, not prettt lame.. really fucking lame! seems like the real team has had it somewhat made in the shade compared to all of the other teams, what's up with that? the ribbon bullshit made me fast forward.

Theres always a team that gets it sorta easy, while the others gotta put in work. Axel rips and so does Glick,Kyle floated that 180.

bang a girl in the van while the tm watches = 200 points

Plz add to weeks highlights: no Andy Roy footage.
Kyles trey flip in the nighty and Masons front 3 up that Euro gap were also on point.
-
I thought it was interesting/kinda telling how Foundation had that segment where their expansive time in the van has brought them closer while Element discussed how obnoxious it was. Their city challenge was the gnarliest though.
-
I look forward to each episode. It’s super entertaining. I don’t hate anyone on the show. Almost makes me miss Clint. The show needs a villain. Andy is annoying but I don’t see any knife fights going down in the next couple of episodes. Do I dare say this is great television? Maybe Coors Light is the villain this season, that shit is gross.

Either Burnett or the show’s editor is the villain. Putting the whole karaoke scene in was maybe worse than poo-stravaganza that was going on in this ep

The other dudes said it came outta nowhere, so maybe no one was ready for it except the one filmer with the fisheye. But agreed, it was my favourite trick done up the euro. Especially considering how much build up there was for the bs flip and pop shuv.
Nora's challenges were kind of a drag. She's obviously adorable, but seeing the Real team prance around in pajamas singing was amusing for about one second.
I found myself involuntarily smiling every time it cut to Foundation.They're like Enjoi last year. While everyone else is struggling, they're just hyped to be on a skate trip with their homies. Nick Merlino has a childlike quality that is quite endearing. Like when Sinclair was telling him they didn't need a flip trick over the hip any more and he was all 'But I wanna,' 'cause he wanted to do a nollie inward. Then he did the appropriate fs bigspin and looked all pissy about it.

Must’ve missed that, how tf was that not replayed a bunch? After battling the front 3, I’m guessing that went down.

I cannot wait to see the reaction video of Nick Merlino finding out all those things he was doing was for nothing.

Intellectually I know I should be rooting for Foundation cause they need the money most and deserve it, and Element is on the other end the spectrum, but when I'm watching I can't help but emotionally get behind a bunch of weird hippies instead two teams who seem like they could just as easily be part of a bowling league. Plus I'm too anti-social to relate to the kind of epic bromance they seem to be experiencing.

Not sure if that counts as a "varial" trick though since isn't anything varial technically done when your hand spins the board around? Pretty sure that's what Roger Bagley said at one point. Maybe that'll come up later when tallying the points.

Thats why in the first episode when they had to run Chima fucking flew with Nyjah right behind him... "Yo, wait up! Gotta talk to you about something man!" then Nyjah fell down and it was hilarious

Last night seemed like the make fun of Nyjah episode...Sinclair yelled at the Foundation dudes "Nyjah is in the red bull helicopter!" kinda funny.

Burnett called that huge rail the Elmendorf rail in the most recent episode so that was cool. Also Thrasher had one of their little KOTR snippets up this week talking about how KWalks ollied the Dompierre gap.
I'm bummed there's more contest spread out to next week. Not that I don't wanna see more skating but I liked the old season and a finale held at a later date structure. That seemed to work fine for the past two seasons even if the finales are usually kind of a shit show.

Alright, here’s a bit of controversy I wanna sell: at that little rail where both teams put down wood on the woodchips for a run way: when real and element were there they extended the wood runway over the first stair with boards supporting it, even adding a little bump. That makes the rail shorter in length and height, and comes off as cheap and corny. I get a runway over woodchips, but when you start using the wood run up to shrink the rail its a step too far.
When foundation skated the rail, they didn’t extend the wood over the stairs.

Dakota Servold actually talks about stuff like this in his Thrasher interview this month. Like if you're not at least touching some concrete, it doesn't count. Apparently, he's the wood guy for spots so I'd imagine he set up those up.
The rails that Foundation and Real/Element skated for the nosegrind nollie flip were different. Foundation skated a 6 stair that had a weird double top stair hence the roll up. The other teams skated an 8 stair with a kicker at the top.

Honestly, watching them all through, I think Element won. Not spoiling right now.

It must suck getting to the end of KOTR and think that it might be worth it if they get to go somewhere cool like Hawaii like last season and then find out all you have is a flaming rail and the big points awarded are for tricks down the stairs
I heard Burnett had to shoot this at night because during the day he’s managing Reel Big Fish
Favorite moment of the year - watching the emotions as every skater imagines what it’s like to be Zion and hear their father tell them that he’s proud and loves his son
I’d like to see Eric Andre play Andy Roy
Another point against Evan smith - the guy who’s basically eaten every turd he could find though couldn’t imagine eating cake. Can’t wait until he grows out of being skateboarding’s Miley Cyrus (flaming lips stage)
Nick Sr didn’t come across as so Don Rickles last time we saw him
Glad they did something for Nick
Fucked up Tyson went pro after they got married and before they divorced. Even more fucked up was Thrasher giving that award to Tyson over Cole just as an excuse to give him a pro platform. Wonder if those were the points that gave them the edge over Real. Looks like that DLX handicap is no more

They really don’t seem to know how to wrap up the season with this show. 3 years in a row the finale is all over the place with everyone doing whatever they want. There’s no organization.
Andy and Phelps add absolutely nothing to the show.
Cole getting robbed for Tyson turning pro was fucked up and unnecessary. Clearly Element had won so they could have easily turned him pro when they were announced the winners similar to how Louie turned Jackson pro. I seriously felt bummed on that moment.
It was a great season, but a weak finale.

KOTR sucked this year. Thrasher needs to rethink the whole thing if they're just going to rely on novelty tricks, eating shit and celebrity cameos to keep it "interesting."
Thought it was funny Justin Brock said "at least we're not third," than Real lost by a mere 180 points. I'd rather come in third and lose by a huge margin than just miss winning by a single challenge.

For the most part I thought it was an entertaining season but cringeworthy finale. Definitely hyped for Element and Foundation and will buy Cole or Glick's board soon. Real couldn't be more boring, collectively. Some rad dudes individually but their team was boring as shit. Maybe if they had Buz or Ishod in the van it would've spiced things up. It was edited poorly too because the way they showed it there was no way Foundation was at 9000 points to Real's 11,000.
And if I never see Andy Roy's dumb face again in my life it will be too soon.

Cole got robbed ! I think of all the teams I’m most hyped on Foundation and having Axel with them was a plus. Element was alright but fuark they were always gonna win this shit :/

What a fucking cringefest! Thrasher and Viceland really have ruined KOTR. It's all about Burnett's stupid challenges now which are just some reality show bullshit. At least before KOTR was entertaining, now less and less. Fuck this shit. No idea why I watched the whole series. :-\

I think since the one with Birdhouse winning set the bar so high in being so shitty, I think last year's and this year's weren't totally bad. Some cringe worthy moments for sure but overall, it was entertaining at least.

Favorite part: Zion telling Phelps to shut up and calling him a bitch.
Least favorite part: Andy constantly yelling “Buck Buck”

Another season finale that's a hot mess. That's not even a judgement anymore. All 3 of the Viceland finales have been different but uniquely fucked. I seriously don't know why this is so hard? Keep it mellow for the taping and then go hard at the afterparty.
It's absolute bullshit that Cole didn't get the award for the rock fakie on the handrail so that Tyson Peterson's pro announcement could be set up. That was covered pretty well by Thrasher back in June so somebody double dipped hard. Looking at the photos, you can even tell it's the same night.
Honestly, I think Sinclair might have done Nick Merlino a weird huge favor pranking him so hard. I never really thought about Merlino before this but he turned out to be one of my favorite parts of this season. His reaction to winning the poker table was adorable. So was stopping everything so he could hug his dad.
I look forward to complaining with you all about the show next season.

First thing I thought of when I saw the point total was Jamie Thomas wasting Real's time trying to 180 nose grind a 6 stair rail for an hour. If that wasn't contrived reality TV drama, and he made me possibly miss a share of 50k I'd be kinda pissed.

I don’t know what’s contrived about it. It’s a thing that happened. I doubt they had a producer tell Jamie to do that because they want to fuck REAL of all teams regardless of the next 5-6 days of tricks/points. We almost made it an entire season without some using this weird excuse
-
Remember when KOTR was mainly about doing fucked up tricks with a couple challenges chucked in there? Pepperidge Farm remembers. I highly doubt people prefer seeing people regurgitating into each others mouths rather than a fakie heel over a spine.
Regardless, Foundation are definitely the peoples champs. Next board for sure. Also, just a theory, Element was set up to win so they could have some extra gnar points once the Element video drops on Thrasher.

Hmmm do I think hyper-competitive/hates to lose Jamie Thomas refused to give up and not land a trick he should have in the bag or do I think Burnett called him and and told him to purposely not land a trick and keep not landing it for what, like 20 minutes, in the hopes that the point totals would be so razor thin at the end of the competition that it would fuck over Thrasher’s second favorite board company in favor of Element. All the post-trip awards (phelpers choice, best transition trick, etc) is where they can actually affect point totals, not some weird manufactured event like this. The whole reason the Jamie Thomas thing was even shown was for the juxtaposition with him talking at Rincon about how he’d never waste time on KOTR. If he hadn’t said that, I doubt it’d have even been included in the edit. Kinda like all the mileage they got out of Sinclair asking Merlino why he bombed the hill when he clearly told him to

Or we are arguing about two different things based off your use of “contrived”. Obviously this isn’t some cinema verite documentary, it’s a reality show competition and they have set up things to be the focus of each day/episode. I just don’t think everything is inherently contrived just because it’s on tv. Vice doesn’t have the same knowhow or resources to do a Bachelor type con job and certainly no one in Thrasher is smart enough to put together that level of Truman Show fuckery.
-
I think we’re more or less on the same page then. I was just suggesting they made more of it than it actually was not that it was staged or whatever.

It would have been cool if Foundation won but I don't think it really matters, besides that they didn't get the cash. It's not like Enjoi winning last year propelled them into being one of the really relevant brands. I think Foundation won a lot of people over regardless of how they did.

also, why so much evan hate? i get it that he can be hard to listen to but he seems very positive, always smiling and laughing and skating harder than anyone else.. honestly it's just another slap trend. same as saying "my next board is a foundation for sure" when maybe one of you will actually go buy a board and support them and the other 99 percent will just buy another board from a smaller/newer brand. not that there's anything wrong with that but, quit fronting.
side note - did anyone else see the photo andy roy's new teeth? he somehow looks even sketchier now.
Bc he’s psychedelic Spicolli now and it’s worse than listening to other dumb skaters talk bc they know they are just mouth farting but he thinks he’s saying something deep
-
anyone know how many points element got for the "get a jackass star in the van" thing with bam? i remember thinking it would be pretty fucked up if thats what put them over the top
The other teams were able to get jackass' "stars" too, but yeah that seemed pretty tailored to element. They showed it in the webisodes. I think real got Dave England (who did some neat handplant thing in a little backyard diy bowl), and foundation got Chris Pontius (Chris and Cole bathed each other nude in a fountain).
Also when they were naming the MVPs from the different teams, did Robbie Brockel get the team MVP for real? I thought that for sure would of been Zion. I found Robbie pretty entertaining the whole show. I like that he wore that wig throughout the entire thing.
-
Foundation won.
-
Merlino On Coke confirmed...looking all yacked up
-
-
anyone really believing that zion was being tough in front of phepls? he was just talking shit aka imitating the behavior seen on thrasher's skate rock tours to become a bro with phelps for a chance at soty or maybe even spicing it up for the show. no way would he ever risk getting blacklisted
-
people hating on Nyjah (yeah, he's kinda lame) but I'd rather spend a week with Nyjah than spend 10 minutes with Phelps or Andy Roy. HOLY FUCK Andy Roy is STARVED for attention ("HEY GUYS LOOK AT MY FAKE TEETH!! DID YOU KNOW I HAVE FAKE TEETH?!? HEY I'M GONNA TAKE OUT MY TEETH NOW SO I CAN YELL STUPID SHIT LOUDER!! HEY GUYS LOOK AT ME!!!") and Jake Phelps is as dumb as a fucking caveman.
Rock to fakie on a handrail was the best trick filmed during the whole thing. Nick Merlino/Mike Sinclair were the stars of the show and I'd actually love it if they took over in the Andy Roy "hypeman" position next year but they would be like this bickering couple, that would work well I think.
-
viceland 187'd king of the road, it's basically jackass/fear factor now. just cringeworthy garbage. the last good one was the 2012 season with alien workshop.
-
Evan Smith is this years SOTY for sure. Completely killing it on kotr + MVP, and a bunch of other awards plus an epic last part in the element video.
I still back foundation the hardest and I I know good things will come out of the viceland show for those dudes. Tomorrow I'm gonna go to the shop to pick up Cole's, Glick's, and Merlino's pro models. I've been srtickly skating toy machines for the past like 8 years so switching to Foundation isn't a big deal and I much prefer to support current Foundation than current Toy.
-
Zion looked really bothered/Frazzled when they were watching themselves on TV. I wonder if he got yelled at?

Can anyone find that Nick Merlino prank call, where Sinclair (?) tells him he's off the team. That's even funnier now, knowing him and his dad better. He must have been devastated.
All the corny bullshit this season was 1000% worth it just to get Merlino's dad on television.
Oh it's at like 6:00 in here, damn it's even better than I remembered.

Nick sr.:
"Andrew Reynolds has been putting the knock on Nicky for 5 years!"
"So what's he supposed do now, Mike?...yeah, he should make a what? sponsor...me.....tape?...and start over?"
Holy shit!
-
nick merlino looked sickly as fuck at the awards
-
There's like a 0% chance that he doesn't have an Adderall prescription that he snorts, right?
-
they should get wheatberry to do the intro w/ the 'bad language' now that vice bought andy new jibs.
maybe kotr can be rehab for old pros to dress as a troll and be the jester but ultimately get their medical issues fixed.
andy roy should move into phelper's spot.
idk who should be on deck if wheatberry gets into legal trouble or dies unexpectedly.
-
Foundation got robbed and I'll def give those dudes hugs if I ever see them.
Has anybody mentioned that episode where Justin Brock read "KOTR" out loud like "coater"? Even worse than everybody screaming "SOTY" like it's a word.
Thrasher is wack.
-
Is Nick Merlino sick? Genuine question and not in the least bit said in jest. He doesn't look well.
he is sober
-

THERE’S NO CRYING IN SKATEBOARDING.
-
There's like a 0% chance that he doesn't have an Adderall prescription that he snorts, right?
Nah, he's always been like that even before he was sponsored. If anything he needs a ritalin or vyvanse prescription but he doesn't fuck with that shit. When he was coming up, filmers and photographers put up with his shit, always picked him up, paid for his food, etc 'cause he was that fuckin good.
He could've been pro for Baker, had a shoe on globe and making a good living but he is who he is and and I love him for it. He belongs on foundation with his best friends and Sinclair. He also got tons of exposure from the vice show so people are gonna be recognising him on the sreets/while he drives Uber/works at a grocery store a whole lot more.
-
Merlino had some marker ink or something on his face that made him look weird. Basically foy was the deciding factor

That's good he's sober, really.
Do you know any details about why he didn't get on Baker? The rumor that got spread was that Braydon was jealous of him, so he blackballed him. I'm sure Nick was especially wild back then too though.
-
maybe he was a threat to their skating? he came outta nowhere w/ sw bs 360s and almost sw heeled LOVE, right? dude and weckingball were getting fucking house and the industry was shook.
-
He's probably too big a personality to fall in line to the degree necessary to join one of those "family" teams. Nick's gotta be Nick.
What's this about him and Globe? I know he's been in the game for a long time but I've only been paying attention since the Dekline video.
-
Element may have won, but Foundation won.
I saw a Corey Click board at the park yesterday and I haven't seen a Foundation board anywhere in nearly a decade. Between Oddity, KOTR, their new video dropping soon, and Cole Wilson innovating handrails, Foundation is suddenly more relevant than Toy Machine for the first time since Welcome to Hell.
Some other closing thought... the same as everybody else's. Phelps sucks and I won't be sad when he dies in a few years. The only Real riders I care for now are Ishod and Buzenitz. Evan Smith seems annoying as hell but dear god he is gifted on a skateboard. Jaws is kinda getting annoying. Foy is a monster. Axel was surprisingly effective as a guest rider. I'm glad they dropped all the make-out bullshit but the obsession with shit and other gross-out stunts has got to go. All in all a pretty good season.
Vice should start making new One In A Million seasons.
-
Like most people, would have loved to seen foundation win, after seeing the guys on KOTR, i definitley have alot more love for foundation now, hell i would even get a Cole wilson deck. I always liked him but didnt know much about the rest of the team, im sold now for sure. Glad Element took it over Real, Reals just boring as shit, Robbie may be one of the blanded most annoying people ive ever seen on KOTR, he irritated me all season.
Phelps continues to make himself look more and more like a kook every chance he gets, screaming SKATE RATS FOR LIFE, in evans face was just embarrassing.
-
Phelps is a jackass but i definitely laughed when he started chanting “cake” while evan was tripping hard about eating cake
-
I've heard the baker team didn't fuck with merlino because he was an asshole on trips and would blow up spots, I recall beagle telling him that he shouldn't sw bs 360 wilshire 15 because a lot of tricks were not done yet and he was only flow...
he has been my favorite for a long time though.. since foundation wtf he always had crazy footage
That story has to be bogus.
-
Glad Merlinos sober as he looked like hes been doing crack. Skinny amd scabbed up. He was a fav this season.
But damn Phelps and Roy need to get 86ed. Absolutely useless corny cunts. Phelps is like a living video game npc, like a cop trying to be cool. Such a tryhard.

He's wayyy more mellow now. Back then his ADHD was crazy and he was more energetic and manic which made him impossible to deal even though his skating was too good to ignore.
Why he didn't get on Baker: they were on a trip to Australia and he annoyed/rubbed some of the dudes the wrong way (that trip was gonna determine if they were gonna put him fully on) the final deal breaker was:
They were at a bar and Leo was sitting with Heath and at some point during the night he goes up to Leo being super stoked and nice and Leo just slapped him in the face and then I think I think he wandered off for a bit (being super bummed and mad about the incident) went back up to Leo and legit smacked him the face.
I'm still coming down from mescaline so I'm remembering like 6 different versions of of what happened that night in the bar.
What I know for sure was that he came up to Leo being super hyped on him and Leo slapped him in the face and and Nick slapped him harder. Really shittyt spot to be in (do I let my favorite pro just slap me and disrespect me like that for a better chance of getting on?) but Nick couldn't let that slide so Leo got all offended and some drama happened and that was it for him (don't remember if Leo or someone else actually told him on the spot that he was never getting.

That's amazing. Much respect to Nick for not being a punk and much disrespect to everyone else for kicking him off over it instead of making him their top guy.

small pic but Merlino broke his jaw didn't he, I suspect a liquid diet is going to make you skinny?

Do you know if that Baker stuff had anything to with the rumor that all of his crazy footage at the time got leaked in that Tactical video without his knowledge? I remember rumors that there were at least a few clips Beagle filmed and gave up without Nicks knowledge or permission? I just remember how heavy that part was and hearing that Nick wasn’t pleased about all of the footage he’d been stacking going to that video, I could be wrong, just stuff I remember hearing at the time.
And his WTF part was and still is really, really fucked up, that was easily one of the craziest video parts of that year
Edit: found the tactical 2 footage. Sw Heel Wilshire @0:31, video part starts @1:55. I had forgotten how gnarly and amazing this part is, I hadn’t seen it in a long time, he truly was/is one of the best out. Who knows what could have happened at the time had this footage been released under different circumstances in a more mainstream video, dude was definitely making waves in the industry

Merlino is such a good skateboarding-Rocky story. East coast Italian, who never won the big match, but stayed in the ring all 15 rounds.

First thought on watching this was Nick looks sick. He's either sick or he's ...sick. Hope he's well.
Evan deserved MVP obviously but fuck that fucking cover. That Cover tells me that Thrasher is more into the Circus part of KOTR than the skateboarding part.
Cole probably deserved the Nygina award but but Tyson's trick was just a fuct, even if it's been done before.

Nah, he's always been like that even before he was sponsored. If anything he needs a ritalin or vyvanse prescription but he doesn't fuck with that shit. When he was coming up, filmers and photographers put up with his shit, always picked him up, paid for his food, etc 'cause he was that fuckin good.
He could've been pro for Baker, had a shoe on globe and making a good living but he is who he is and and I love him for it. He belongs on foundation with his best friends and Sinclair. He also got tons of exposure from the vice show so people are gonna be recognising him on the sreets/while he drives Uber/works at a grocery store a whole lot more.
That's good he's sober, really.
Do you know any details about why he didn't get on Baker? The rumor that got spread was that Braydon was jealous of him, so he blackballed him. I'm sure Nick was especially wild back then too though.
He's wayyy more mellow now. Back then his ADHD was crazy and he was more energetic and manic which made him impossible to deal even though his skating was too good to ignore.
Why he didn't get on Baker: they were on a trip to Australia and he annoyed/rubbed some of the dudes the wrong way (that trip was gonna determine if they were gonna put him fully on) the final deal breaker was:
They were at a bar and Leo was sitting with Heath and at some point during the night he goes up to Leo being super stoked and nice and Leo just slapped him in the face and then I think I think he wandered off for a bit (being super bummed and mad about the incident) went back up to Leo and legit smacked him the face.
I'm still coming down from mescaline so I'm remembering like 6 different versions of of what happened that night in the bar.
What I know for sure was that he came up to Leo being super hyped on him and Leo slapped him in the face and and Nick slapped him harder. Really shittyt spot to be in (do I let my favorite pro just slap me and disrespect me like that for a better chance of getting on?) but Nick couldn't let that slide so Leo got all offended and some drama happened and that was it for him (don't remember if Leo or someone else actually told him on the spot that he was never getting.
Do you know if that Baker stuff had anything to with the rumor that all of his crazy footage at the time got leaked in that Tactical video without his knowledge? I remember rumors that there were at least a few clips Beagle filmed and gave up without Nicks knowledge or permission? I just remember how heavy that part was and hearing that Nick wasn’t pleased about all of the footage he’d been stacking going to that video, I could be wrong, just stuff I remember hearing at the time.
And his WTF part was and still is really, really fucked up, that was easily one of the craziest video parts of that year
Edit: found the tactical 2 footage. Sw Heel Wilshire @0:31, video part starts @1:55. I had forgotten how gnarly and amazing this part is, I hadn’t seen it in a long time, he truly was/is one of the best out. Who knows what could have happened at the time had this footage been released under different circumstances in a more mainstream video, dude was definitely making waves in the industry

I 100% forgot about that part, probably 100% because it was not in a more mainstream video. Fuck man, Merlino deserves better. That little fucker gets gnarly. Switch back 3's don't make sense.
I remember when this first came out, such a heavy part. Him and that Donovan song were such a perfect match. Its a better fit than when Stevie Perez used it.
Crazy stuff. I had never heard this story, seen this part or even really knew he was flow from Baker.
When I read the talk of switch bs 360 I instantly thought yeah right. No way he could do that but in the Tactical part he does it down the red 14 stair. Nollie flip crooks Wilshire 10 rail is perfect too!
To think, if he hadn't of fucked things up with Baker he could be in a similar position to Figgy or someone similar, chilling with a shoe on Emerica. Instead he's on Foundation barely getting paid and probably doesn't have a shoe sponsor.
I've written off Foundation for a good while but they killed it on KOTR and were by far the most likable team. Will be paying much attention in the future

Of course he couldn't be on baker. His hammers are way heavier than one of their most notable riders who skates very similarly. They were probably salty.

When all the Merlino baker shit went down didn’t skateboard mag publish an “I’m sorry/ give me one more chance” article? Think it was like a one page thing, that was Swahili ago though. I’m sure nicks annoying, especially then, but isn’t that what makes a fun crew, different types of people.
-
So did Merlino beat up Jon Dickson? I love him even more if true
-
nick choked out marquise preston on a foundation trip one time. thrasher interview said it got heated and the last words were, "Are we doing this?" before apparantly nick dropped him. unrelated note, i think andrew langi stole his laptop one time haha. back before he lost all his sponsors and there was some back and forth between them over it.
