So much pop. That song seemed like it would be in some weird safety video in middle school. Emerica has a sick team.

He can skate all of the shittiest, most hard to skate looking banks and bumps so well. This really made up for that weird Psockadelic park he recently had. Cant wait to see what he has for the Toy Machine video as well.

I don’t see how this is important to the discussion of his video part. I noted the lack of switch tricks in this part, but only because I made the mistake of reading some comments before watching the part.

Something I didn’t expect to enjoy so much were his lines, but in this part that’s where his skating really shines.

Does it really matter? Dicksons switch flips make up for the lack of switch skating on emerica anyway.

Thought about the upcoming Toy Machine video too n wonderin if this was some throwaway footage from that.

Good watch. I'd point out two things:
1. He should have the mullet, not Figgy. Maybe they'll work out a deal one day.
2. bs smith stall in that pool wasn't acceptable

He probably can, just not at a level where it would fit in a pro-part. A bunch of these transition guys who also skate street have almost no switch footage like Grant and Raven. Similarly, guys who skate with a lot of power in their parts don't tend to either like Mason Silva, Westgate, and AO.

His ability to get elevation out of these minibumps will never cease to amaze me. The two kickflips (over the tiny hip and in the line) were pure gold. No need for switch stuff whatsoever here as far as I'm concerned.

I thought the same. His street skating is heavily influenced by concrete skateparks. It's as if he is looking for street spots which mimick skatepark transitions. It feels as if he kind of approaches it backwards. I like it though. His transfer on that monument was dope.

I'll be the first to admit I have it out for this dude, but...

90% of this part a glorified fly-outs, learn a new trick, no one needs to see that many frontside 180s in a three minute span, and the way Collin Provost aggressively pursues that So-Cal, Black Sabbath, rock n roll bro image (complete with high fives and sunglasses on the head) is beyond corny.

I in the camp that is encouraging Collin to lean into the 'big-tricks-off-tiny-banks' thing. He certainly has ATV skills, but I'd much rather see him shredding some non spot spots than more filler bowl footage.

And I completely don't care about the lack of switch at all. Unless your switch tricks have style, don't put it in the video just to prove you can do a switch heelflip.

That being said, a coupe of ledge tricks or wallrides in the wouldn't have hurt.

If you focus on anyone's kit long enough itll feel like dress up no matter what style they have. Damn some of you have really strict style guides one what it takes for you to like someones skating. This dude just wears band tees and jeans from what I can tell. There are way worse styles out there.

just think of bumps and banks as his niche. that part was very watchable. I like the motion involved in skating street transition. makes the shots more dynamic. he can skate in tight pants ‘cause he’s rail thin. I would barely be able to push in tight ass jeans. it’s amazing he can move enough in them to get that much pop. socal stoner rock dudes will always be around in some form. at least he’s not trend hopping like some dudes.

He's someone I'm kind of inclined to dislike, but then I keep seeing spots he hit in real life and realizing how gnarly his clips actually were. For a skatepark bred kid he sure can deal with rugged, crack filled, awkward street spots.

He had a line in there but it was awkward and lacked some creativity. Dickson was my highlight.

He's on Volcom and most Volcom jeans have amazing stretch in them. I can skate skinny Volcom jeans just fine, actually much better than a whole bunch of other non skinny jeans with no or not enough stretch in them. Not restrictive at all. I refuse to skate anything without proper stretch in them anymore, no matter how skinny or baggy. It's just so much better.

his jeans arent even all that skinny, just slim fit. look at mid 00's DUffel for SKINNY jeans.

kinda surprised at the hate on here, I always thought Provost was sick. he has his own way of skating that doesnt come off as contrived or gimicky, just seems to be how he skates. sure his bag isnt that deep but that doesn tbother me cos this tricks he does are always proper and usually massive.
