SLIDES & GRINDS II

[Swithflip]

[Hercules Rockefeller]

love that format, but a metal curb... such a disappointing sound.

[ungzilla]

still the best game of skate type thing going

the tricks they have on lock are insane

[sharkin]

loved that

regular flatground skate feels so boring now with the all the ATV rippers and ledge techies

[rubbery vagina]

wtf, that dude switch flip back tailed that rather high ledge like it was his warm up. fuuuuuuck

[Mystical Leader]

I'm glad this thing is back again! That cab front nose was good

Easily the best s.k.a.t.e. Type of competition out.

Stoked to see what Brazilian skate tech gods have in store

[Hevonen]

You can switch flip back tail first try with ease but struggle at getting on to a fakie 50-50??

hyped this is back but looks much more boring without the people on the sides

And like said before that metal ledge sounds just horrible

That blew my mind too, same with switch back 180 nosegrind to regular. Then again Brazil skaters are weird. Other dude was way better though.

[L33Tg33k]

If that game was boring to you, you should just stop watching now.

Dude did a cab fs nose slide and a half cab nose grind 180 out across the whole damn thing first try. That's ridiculous.

[layzieyez]

Stoked to see more of this. Brazil is going to kill the ledge event in the Olympics.

[Andmoreagain]

Another one is up

[Silky Johnson]

Is Akira Shiroma his actual name? Seems really Japenese for a Brazilian name

[RoaryMcTwang]

Happy to see this is back, but I have to say 'professionalising' it has made this a lot worse. Worse ledge, worse sound, worse Nike influence, worse overall editing, just worse all around. Too bad.

Will still watch it though, the basic format idea is so good and the skill levels are undeniable.

Glad Formiga got kicked out first, that guy seems insufferable.

[Grind King Rims]

My only concern so far is that the crowd is removed. The last time you could see all the homies on the side and in the back getting hyped and nearly hit with the boards, it was fun. Now it's more like a stage, more sterile.

[Double Pegasus]

Another one is up

really nice skating, he was going mach 4 on that bluntslide. that first feeble was lame though, funny how the defending guy did it properly after

It's a pretty interesting history/culture

i looked this guy up after the last season, he shreds, has a sick part on youtube too:

(especially the noseslide at 2:58)

[PincherBug]

WOW Tiago skates that 2 foot ledge like a 2 inch curb... Well obviously...

[Patey]

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

[RoaryMcTwang]

Fuck yes, didn't even know Tiago was in it! Fabulous game, Petersen fought bravely too. But sw bs smiths on a ledge, I mean what can you do.

[Tyroneshoelaces]

this is awesome, the last one is awesome.  any other complaining is straight up bitchy whining

"wah i don't like the ledge, sounds bad"
it is a fucking funbox.  fun boxes have metal coping. 

"i hate where people are sitting"
really sucks they had a place to actually sit now instead of standing all day.  bet they were bummed as hell to have a seat and not have to stand around as they filmed it all day like last time

"Nike Influence, wah"
people have no idea how much it costs to put something like this on.  it's a fun event for the homies and the skate scene in Brasil, i don't see HUF or Emerica (tho i love them) putting up cash to help.  If you want that marble ledge you guys are creaming for you better hope Nike ponies up more money next time.  i spent some of my childhood in south america and trust me nobody gives two shits if it's a core company or not.  Put up money to help the scene and you get love.   take what you can get.

"wah i hate the editing"
it is literally a game a skate.  can you see the tricks?  okay, you're good.

[Bronson]

Great skaters, great game. It felt a little like watching t1000 fight t800..

[layzieyez]

Such a great game. Rodrigo went hard.

[Dark Knight]

Glad Formiga got kicked out first, that guy seems insufferable.

Seriously can't stand that guy.

[L33Tg33k]

Petersen put up a much better fight than I imagined he would. Good stuff.

dont care, sounds shitty.

petersons noseblunt was unexpected. loved it.

[somethingmustbreaknow]

solid games thus far. super
glad that this format's back

[flempa1one]

This is a great concept. Only thing that bothers me is that they're apparently not aware that you need to "pinch" certain tricks for them to count? Petersons sw fs crooks was clearly a nosegrind(which is a lot different/easier than a
fs crook) and that feeble grind in one of the earlier games, LOL

[nigga_please]

Does anybody knows how old is Petersen? Feels like he's been in the game forever.
 Glad to see he's killing it still!
