Personally, I didn't see anything wrong with the footage (it wasn't filmed well, but I doubt it's a youtube video..who cares). I just saw some guys skating around like any other normal day of skating. I'm pretty certain there were more people excited that those guys showed up than people being upset at their skating. Maybe I'm biased, because I love to see demos of skaters doing the tricks that many consider warm ups because their warm up tricks are the things that the average skater brags about doing to his friends after filming for 4 hours. So if Jackson Curtin does a fakie five-O, I'm hyped. He probably approached in a way that I never thought of and it'll make me think about how I do it when I'm skating.
i mean hey thats how you feel but come on dude stevie doing a switch nosewheelie shove it thats just plain bullshit. and looked like complete shit i understand you just wanting to see them skate regular stuff but that was by far 1 of the WORST things (demo footy) to ever be posted on this board. i have seen better skating outside my friend toby's house !!
Well, think of it in this way:
You only saw what was filmed. You only saw one switch nose manual out of probably hundreds that he's probably done in his life. As I've heard many athletes say, you make more mistakes than successes. By your criteria, I should get mad if I saw some pro get out of the van and do a kickflip.."c'mon tha't bullshit, just a kickflip" I think some people need to calm down when pros do demos. Sometimes there going to skate great, well, okay, sketchy, or not at all. MOST demos are free anyway. And if there's better skating outside of Toby's house, then do you want to take it one step further and put that skating out in the world to be critiqued like a video, sponsor-me tape, maybe even a local company with all your friends. Then we'll see if the DGK demo footage was really that bad
