Where are people getting the idea that a chest high switch back tail and other tricks like that are 90’s throwbacks? I remember Guy switch back tailing a 6 stair rail in the 90’s and everybody losing their shit over it.
Is skating ledges considered a 90’s throwback now? Because nobody was skating them like he does back then, and somebody needs to help me understand when people stopped skating them, making the approach a real “throwback”
It’s tricky... He wears baggy pants and cupsoles and isn’t scrawny, so nobody can handle it and assumes he must be a time traveler from 2001.
I will admit that a lot about him reminds me of those days and watching Flo Marfaing and Alex Carolino rip, but he is most certainly of our current time and pushing the absolute limits of what a person can do on a skateboard.
That being said, the dudes most stoked on him seem to be a bit older, and that’s gotta be because the late 90’s/early 00’s flavor is most certainly present.
