Kirby x ETN

[Atiba Applebum]

i'm surprised "Kirby" isn't his Deathwish nickname and his real name is Taylor Watkins or whatever

They kinda blow it by hyping it up so much.  I'd rather have a trick like that surprise me at the end of a part, rather than showing the attempts and then charging you for the make.  I know what a smith grind looks like, I know what the Staples ledge looks like, so teasing it like they do just spoils the excitement of it.

I think that's where the excitement comes; knowing it's going to go down a certain day and anticipating it and not knowing wether he's even going to make it or maybe he'll just eat shit

i'm showing my age, but anyone remember that show that used to broadcast live discoveries? they would fully hype it up then dig through the wall of like an old bank vault completely sure they would find some hidden treasure but wouldn't find anything. maybe that's etn's blueprint.

Erik Bragg is the Geraldo Rivera of skateboarding?

I always thought he looked like Scott Johnston's bad boy brother

[ohtight]

So did this fool make it or not?  Anyone have any videos of makes or attempts?

[ducky darnsworth]

ETN is Al Capone's vault

[Francis Xavier]

Get sheckler at gun point at el toro for that backside flip he owes the world and anyone who actually paid for True, c'mon ETN

[Budo]

^Hahah, that would actually be pretty awesome.

Anyone got any insta-links to Kirby's attempts?

here is one attempt-- the caption says this was his last one so maybe it didnt happen.

[Vert Reynolds]

He didn't make it. He had like 5 goes at it, And tapped out, Due to injury. He was saying his heel was jacked up really bad.
Hopefully he didn't get broke off to bad, After going Pro.


It's cool to watch, But has the "Dance Monkey" Vibe to it.

[Bitter]

Good call on the "dance monkey dance" vibe. Will Kirby get paid for this? Is he obligated to go back and land it for ETN? Since this stuff is "only" available behind a paywall, is there a presumption that all tricks will be landed? If you paid to see a baseball game and they called it after 4 innings, you'd feel ripped off. Is this the equivalent?

Skating is more stunt show than sport in this regard. As Dave Chappelle said, he's like Even Knievel. He gets paid for the attempt nobody said it would be good.

[handsclapanin]

So, is ETN paying for permits to skate these spots? Or do they just show up and hope they don't get kicked out?

Permits. I guarantee.

[Jerkstore]
