his body looks too tweaked backside for this to be just an ollie, but there's no way he'd make the full 180 if he's going for a back 180, unless he reverted the shit out of it. weird.

it's just a thread the needle ollie between the edge of the sidewalk and the fence... quit over analyzing

sheer absurdity.  my favorite part about him is that i rarely, if ever, seen anything from guy except pure non stop skateboarding.   i have no idea what his "artistic outlet" is and that makes me like him more.

ok first of all i have no idea why you guys think that is any sort of spin to that street gap ^ his shoulders are completely square.... have you guys never ollied a big gap before and in mid air you sort of realize shit is not leveled out properly and you start waving your arms to get your balance back???

example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKNUTsVZ4NQ

go to 0:53


might as well be sayin that first photo is a switch willy up the handrail

or he splits his footage, turning one potentially good part into two mediocre parts.
That cover makes my balls crawl up into my stomache in fear. Nothing suprising in terms of the trick he is doing, but I'll give him points for the spot.
he probably dd it first try, im not too impressed by this cover for some reason... i feel like even if the drop was bottomless leo would do it first try, its like a nine stair rail, he does that shit in his sleep.

that's what i was thinking.. he probably knows he goes over the rail 1 in a million. but just watch that 1 time be when you're nervous about a 30 foot drop..

Leo's the gnarliest person out the I.E.  i have a feeling his Emerica part is gonna change skateboarding
Change it how? You think he might popularize smith grinds down handrails? Or maybe people will realize that back lips CAN be done on handrails, or that a kink in a rail is no reason not to skate it? ha ha ha ha. Leo is not the type to "change skateboarding." He's the classic type that thinks adding 3 more stairs to a smith grind is "progression"
Are you a kook? If you would say this, the answer is “YES”
I quit skating for a time due to piling out

every leo thread you have to say the same shit about how he is just a 'rail skater'

No-one gives a shit.

1) Why respond if you don't care? Not caring means you read it and forget what the post said by the time read the next one.
2) I'm not the only one who thinks this, but I probably do find calling people out for calling Leo so progressive funnier than most. Its just so easy.
3) The comment I responded to was too stupid to let fly.

He doesn't seem to be full of himself like that. (I apologize if I'm wrong about that.) If you're going to hate, hate on the people who talk about him being progressive. He's not the next Rodney Mullen or Gonz, but I still enjoy his footage.

it's just a thread the needle ollie between the edge of the sidewalk and the fence... quit over analyzing
when the hell did the definition of "thread the needle" broaden to include the width of a sidewalk? and i wasn't even referring to his arms, i was talking about his feet/board, they're clearly turned slightly to the right.

i dont know what hes talkin about that thread the needle shit either... but my point i was trying to make is if your shoulders arent turned you aint going bs 180 end of story. it probably just shifted a bit when he ollied... i mean like if you are trying to ollie something far do you not sometimes turn a bit 90 by accident/??  i dont know, to me it just like its an obvious ollie it just not a text book arms in the perfect spot ollie cause you have to be cruising like 50mph to make that at least.


hes not really changing skateboarding  he is sitll doing the same flips and grinds that everyone else does, but he may have chnaged the way people look at spots. he grinded up the first legit big street rail ever... yeah other people have done them but he is skating up rails that most people are skating down... like that one templeton did, no one would ever skate down that to use for footage in a video part. i know lots of shit has been grinded up before like up ledges etc. but that one rail he did that was a cover that was no joke, and i dont think that anyone can say that that didnt change the way people look at spots at least. i certainly did not think something like that was possible it just seemed like it would be way too easy to kill yourself on something like that.
