Iffy looking backyard vert in 2020 is sicker than 95% of 2020 street footage.  This guy kills it and I want to float fakie ollies like he does.

The Auby Taylor switch has to be one of the most extreme changes of style in skateboard history.

other examples coming to my mind are:
Hip hop ali to hesh ali

or SF ethan Fowler to the foundation punk version

With all of the above 3 examples I like there first version of them: SF ethan, hip hop Ali and street auby with the biggest switch heel.

Auby Taylor has one of the best fakie Ollie's on vert and fakie flips down triple sets. Weird.

That’s so insane.  Did he have some life altering event or a near death experience or what?

I can’t think of any off the top of my head that even come close.  Maybe Rodney Mullen going from freestyle to street?

Makes me laugh that this dude also switch heeled Hollywood High 16. Insane.

I wonder if the sudden style switch  is related to his ASD - wouldn't be surprising given a major characteristic is an unusual interest/obsession in things (in this case, vert?). I'm woefully unqualified to make that call, but just a thought.

Anyways, dude rips.

I was curious enough to do a little research and found this interview where he talks about it (It’s at about 2/3rds of the way down):

Hip hop dc AVE to greaser vans AVE.
I prefer the latter.

Skated dunks when dunks were uncool. Love Auby's skating, no matter the terrain.
