Always thought the Mind Field slam just looked so wretched, and there's why. It happens so quickly in such a heavy and significant part that it seemed to go under the radar for just being one of the most gut churning falls in a part of that magnitude

No doubt. Obviously his handrail work is undeniable, dude went gnarlier than anyone else yet also threw in tech and style into it. TIS and Mind Field also displayed some serious ledge/table skills.

The New Orleans spot is actually in Baton Rouge. I think the footage is in The End extras.

The clip of the New Orleans slam is in the credits of The End and is sickening.
Edit: missed that last post.

The best. I fear for his brain after all that fucking trauma. Dude literally gave it his all. Unparalleled in the bodily sacrifices he’s offered up to the skate gods! The arco rails slam with all blue outfit and fetal position after is genuinely one of my favorite clips ever.

People probably mention the slams to Heath more than the makes because they can only relate to them

Those are the worst illustrations I've ever seen. I know what they are going for but god damn that's on some budget shit.

That pipe in the ground is pretty fucked up.

I do hope he doesn't have long term side effects to those slams, he really punished himself to get the stuff he got.

A better version of the slam:

  I liked him best in Rolling Thunder.  It was the least dramatic Heath.

Few people can relate to that shit. I remember the first time I saw "This is Skateboarding." That slam affected me.

I had no idea the slam at the LA rail was so bad.  Looks like nothing.  Heath is something else

Heath is THAT good but I didn't love the direction he went.  Transworld hailrail poster guy.  Just regular skating does it for me.  As much as I liked those sight un seen frontside lipslide slam slides. He made fun of ledge skating in some clip too (him and Jeremy Kline).  Berra was fully talking shit about triology about that time too.  I'm mean these guys are good but Im more about lavar.  (A bit of a hot take I guess)

i feel the same way about the Rowley clip where he doesn't make the bump to bar and gets pitched.

Heath is just Heath. Either you know or you don't. Putting him in a list makes no difference.

Example of a guy who gave his life in pursuit of something, for better or worse.
