I want to support Deathwish but they have nothing I want to buy. Their clothes are embarrassing and any board from 8-8.25” is 31.5”

Crazy!
His do or die attitude towards tricks and rawness reminds me of Trainwreck.

I felt like he could be on Anti Hero. Or the video had Anti Hero vibes. Gnarly though.

He was maybe flow or getting boards or whatever before this. He's one of Foy's Boys® so enter Deathwish.

The fact that he doesn’t know him. Also, saying “he should have worn a helmet” AFTER a slam is just arrogant pontificating that helps nobody. Its just a way to talk shit to a guy willing to do something you wouldn’t, and that you just supported by watching.

I find the responses in here refreshing, opposed to say UFC fans who would be cheering the very loudest as the dude was whacking his brain into oblivion. The risk/reward filter doesn't seem to be there. And this is another reason Phelps should just go away at this point. This feels like something he would overhype and reward with SOTYY over some super creative/lower risk Evan Smith part or something.

Evan Smith still does pretty high risk stuff, just in a more elegant way.

reminds me of this time I went to a diy punk show and the dude dove off the stage and fell through to crack his head on the floor
he's bleeding like crazy takes his tee shirt off and wraps in around his head
the blood soaks through the tee shirt and he starts smacking himself in the head with his mic
I had to leave that show, but it felt the same in my stomach as when I saw Pedro's slam and his eyes rolling around in that first clip

Don't act as though slams like this are common across the entire skate video medium. When was the last time you saw a video where someone was knocked out, eyes rolled into the back of the head twice in a 4 minute span? That's excessive, dangerous, and being glorified to the impressionable audience to whom Deathwish and Thrasher cater. Simply because these types of slams aren't new doesn't mean we can't change our perception of them, especially with more awareness of the debilitating, long-term effects.

I know none of this is going to change your mind, I'm just surprised that you're admonishing posters for their concern of head injuries.

If he wore  a helmet there's no chance he'd be on Deathwish and if he filmed this same exact part with a helmet people would be making fun of him.

If a kid sees this dude getting knocked out and think it's cool and hope it happens to them, well that's pretty dumb of them. I remember seeing the Welcome to Hell slam section and thinking "holy shit maybe I'll stick to ledges."

I can only think of one real slam that's gnarlier than either of the KOs in Pedro's part, and that's including anything from the two slam sections you just posted. Plus, one could argue there's a difference between throwing a clip like that into the middle of the part, and putting it into a montage dedicated solely to bails.

I don't have any strong feelings one way or the other on the helmet thing, but slams like this and some of the stuff in Nyjah's new part are definitely a step above the usual slam shots we see in parts. Chalk it up to the unseen side of skateboarding's progression.

Indifference to a fellow skater's head trauma and scorn for others who are justifiably concerned or uneasy to see it used as a marketing device is peak Phelps. It's also noteworthy that watching a video like Welcome to Hell when you're 12 and watching this same type of thing now when you're probably in your 20's or 30's are two entirely different things.

I know none of this is going to change your mind, I'm just surprised that you're admonishing posters for their concern of head injuries.

The slams made me uncomfortable too, slam sections and gnar ones like this or Geoff Arto Ali ones from Sorry era all are hard to watch.

But are you fucking serious?

Nearly every skate video or part from the last 20 years or more has featured slams peppered in them.
This is nothing new.
Our entire industry exists and runs on the glorification of an ultimately dangerous pastime.
You skate a handrail, you risk getting knocked out like this or worse.
You bomb a hill, same shit.
You do a hand plant or a fs air.

This is no more a glorification of getting wrecked  or smacking your head while skating than Jamie’s first slam in that Dying to Live section.
Or the leap of faith.

Should we now tell kids to not watch Geoff’s Sorry part because it begins with two hard as fuck cracks to the dome in case they’re too impressionable and want to....what? Deliberately try to hit their heads when skating?
What’s more be with line with reality is they will react in the exact same way I did to these slams and want to turn away from the screen.

The very fucking real consequences to this particular genre of skating are on display here- something the youth should be aware of, no? Not sheltered from. And I’m the same vein, maybe it is about time CTE etc was discussed more in skating. We should fully question why wearing helmets isn’t the done thing In skating. A video part for a guy being welcomed to a skate company named DEATHWISH is not the most appropriate medium for the discussion- but it’s definitely one of the most appropriate places to show what kind of injuries can occur if you try and skate to this level and in this way.


I can’t believe that two slams in a undeniably Gnarly part is causing so much nonsense.

 
I'm going to argue that Placebo owes their entire career to a Canadian dude's skate video part. Appleyard should be getting royalties for this shit.
