Favorite subtle thing from a part?

[Gnarfunkell]

I was just rewatching Dylan's A Time to Shine part, and forgot how much I love the way he pumps into the little ollie he does at 3:04 :



I'm a sucker for that sort of thing, so hopefully you all have other good examples.

Tom Penny going "Boom Boom!" after Bastien does a kickflip front board in Sorry.

I liked that part so much that my username on Runescape was Boomboom11.. ahahahahaha

those are not subtle things


I love ricardo fonseca's "fuck it" nollie heel before kicklfipping that big ass gap at 3:29.  this whole greece section has a lot of "subtle" things that make the whole thing awesome.  The entire bon appetit video does. 

also:
 the gradual hype train leading up to Jan's 180 switch crooks, starts at :30
the gradual hype train leading up to Cale's nollie heel boardslide at 2:45.  cale was on fucking fire and about 10 years ahead.

I've always loved all the subtleties in Penny's Miniramp runs from 411's Europe 1996. The front truck briefly touching the coping on the Bs 5-0, the quick Rock after the 5-0 to Fakie, how he does the Nollie Rock..

There is another clip of him skating that Miniramp from the same year, where he casually pulls back his hair right before one of the best Kickflip to Fakies ever.

I've been thinking about starting a thread along the lines of "little things that make the clip even better (little skate moments that aren't actual tricks)," so I'll just add my choices to this. I don't know if they're subtle or not.

Gino: Yeah Right- not-nollie after the back 360

Dan Lu: Propeller- back-smith the sidewalk after double-set 360 flip




Gilbert: Salt Life- not-ollie the curb after barrier kickflip

These are wonderful

That one line PJ Ladd does in PLWHL where it looks like he's just doing a 180 up a curb but is actually tailsliding a car's bumper.

Nice first post my man

I know this probably isn’t considered “subtle”, but Reynolds’ little swerve before kickflipping and frontside flipping the 16 in Stay Gold has always stuck with me.

Not a skate part but in a The Office episode, Pam is talking to Jim by the vending machines (he’s dating Karen at the time), Pam is talking about rem sleep, she sounds like she had a cold (love the cuteness in her voice there) and does this little thing with her tongue and mouth when talking, I love that part.

The one foot nollie shuv at 3:45 just thrown in got a lot of replays when i first watched this.

[funeral_tuxedo]

opening line but starting at about :33 zipping past Rodney probably doing something amazing and I always wondered who was in the white sweatshirt skating in front of him. They almost loop around Wray to the Carlsbad gap landing but are cropped out.

That was the best actually! I tried learning that the other day, and for Levi to casually throw it in there is ridiculous

when josh kasper does his line at carlsbad he stops and looks around for a minute in the middle of his run.
word on the street is he was looking for jeremy wray.
[i just watched and he is, jeremy wray skates up to him and as kasperholic goes left to the gap, j.wray goes to the landing to throw hype]. maybe 1:18ish

on pj video it ends /w pj's punch but i kinda feel like it was a trademark they were going for. didn't jereme and ryan gallant throw less iconic punches at the camera?

Not subtle, even in the least.

reynolds nonchalantly putting his cigarette in his mouth after switch fs flipping that four / five block (i believe it’s in atlanta??) in his stay gold part. always seemed to me like he did it quickly thinking it’d take forever.

super stoked he’s not burning ciggies anymore though. kinda amazing how he ate so much fruit for that part but never thought to quit smoking~*~
