i have definitely seen this kid before. second clip at the b-banks was in some line contest if i remember correctly. we have a contender
and he's from brooklyn.. so he's got a lot on his shoulders in this comp - yer the dude from new york who has skated every one of these spots - no pressure
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkIZUSxGIfg&feature=player_embedded# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkIZUSxGIfg&feature=player_embedded#)!

Kid's gnar! I hope other entrants aren't bummed that he got to sneak a longer clip in there!
-
everything looked kinda switch
-
The gap he bigspins at 2:21 is super close to where I lived in Florida. Kinda shocked to see that in the footage of someone not from the area.
-
i don't think this guy will make it in new york
-
are you kidding me? shitty-ass style, handrail chomper, gear-crisis. this kid is an average park rat in the streets. just putting him and the last dude in the same category is absurd!
-

hes very different from the last guy for sure - but i wouldnt call him a "rail chomper" -- he's got a pretty sizeable bag-o-tricks it seems.
that being said - obviously the previous entry was the best by far.. if this contest was x-games real street format we would have our winner already.. and it wouldnt be this kid. cant wait for this thing to start

you make a valid point.
but NOTHING in this made surprised me. at least the ledge dancing dudes did some stuff that made me say 'wow', this was generic, boring and all around un-impressive. every town has 100 kids like this. my point is, this kid is definitely not OIM material by any means.
-
saw dude at maloof park this summer. he does kill it.
-
Boring.
-
Looks like he got the big flip... no problem. ;D That lead up line to the crook at Brooklyn Banks was disgusting.
-
funny you say that, i'm betting this guy is forest
-
so what's the deal with finalists being sponsored?
as this guys definetly flow for emerica as some of this footage was in the flow bros section in the stay gold extras
-
maybe he's off now? i believe there was another guy who was am/flow for someone but has since gone back solely shop sponsorship - im fairly sure the slap folks did their research
-
Has a fro, does Jamie Thomas lines, and skates at night.
This guy is good!

He doesn't seem like the typical New York skater. But then again, I don't personally know what a typical New York skater skates like, so I guess that doesn't mean much. Bigspins are getting a little bit overdone, in my opinion. This guy had a million of 'em in his part.
-
i really like this guy
-
last i heard dude was emerica bones and zoo flow. i know he has it pretty good with emerica considering he had tricks in the bro flow section of stay gold. and i feel like he had some clips in a bones monday video or something.
-
Extra minute. Frikn cheater.
-
favorite one..
-
I've definitely seen that BB line somewhere before.
Maybe Slap was scrambling to get a skater from NY into the contest and that's why his clip is different (longer) than the others.
Whitley did a great job hosting last seasons. Now that he's no longer with Slap, who's gonna be doing it this year? They should get Puleo.

"alright, no-one can skate any of these spots except Nate, since you're not from NY. Oh, and you're all faggots."

This 100X.
Was wondering the same though, sucks there's no whitley!
-
I was kinda digging that crazy long line in the beginning but then after that I kinda got bored... but still so psyched for this year! and this guy looks like he's got some rails and big stuff on lock fo sure
-
has anyone on this site ever been happy. delete my account please.
-
If I liked handrails, I would like this. But I don't. Still, I wish him the best of luck!
-
i don't think this guy will make it in new york
True. Really curious how he going to respond to New York's rugged ground.
-
does he have to sleep at the camp/loft/wherever the dudes are gonna stay, or are they gonna pick him up from home every morning?
-

damn beat me to it

Ha! I was thinking the same thing.
“Enjoy your bunk bed sausage fest fellas. I’m going home.”
-
it would have been cool if the whole video was one long line
-
So far he's my least favorite OIAM finalist. Maybe he'll kill it in NYC.
-
Kid's really good. Him and the rest of those "Goin Ham" kids came through Philly. Out of all of them, him and this kid Dylan were the only cool ones. Hope he makes it
-
FUCK YEAH NATE!! so fucking stoked for this dude he KILLS it!
-
i like this guys raw sketchy style. looks like zero might finally have a black man on the team
-

bored my ass right off my body
-
everything looked kinda switch
thats what i was thinking.
my bet is this dude will win though.
-
I enjoyed it, but I don't think he'll contend well against the others that I've seen.
-
The kid isn't bad but he needs to learn to kickflip. His mob kickflips are painful on the eyes. Ex. Rocket flip front board on the rail was gross.
-
oh he might win, as his interface with the architecture seemed quite fluent. and he did upper quality tricks down some fine gaps.
go brooklyn.
-
nate is my homie, i've been filming with him for a while now for his new part im releasing soon, he kills it.
and yes he is still fully on emerica and bones, but then again matt militano is on think and that other kid is on lakai, so it really shouldn't matter. nate has no real board sponsor so i guess that counts?
and to anything negative about being a generic rail skater, this footage is years old, he isn't like this at all anymore. yeah he can still go in on a handrail but he's been killing ledges lately and doing some other urban shit that's way more interesting than just straight handrail footage. and nate's nothing like forrest except for the fact that they both have really good bigflips haha

matts not on think though....

matts not on think though....
it said that think flew him out to cali in some interview i thought? i don't really remember. either way, that kid kills it too. i saw him skating in jersey last weekend.. jesus christ
-
they have a Little Southern California neighborhood in brooklyn?
-
ledge spot from 1:48 to 1:57 looks so fun..
hes really good but i hope that dude tyler takes it
-
- i liked that.
- if slap was told he was a kid from cali who got footage in nyc people would be talking mad shit because of the rails and difficult tricks.
- i wasnt totally sold until i saw the bigspin heel. i know that is a terrible statement but doing that trick regular and not switch is something i have completely given up hope on and it automatically earns my respect.

they didnt fly him out, he had to pay for his ticket, but he did stay with them. and that was in the spring. then think and street corner went under distribution/tm switches. delatorre left for the same reasons. pretty much everytime Think got a new team manager they would contact matt ask for his footy, he would send it and no one would respond for two weeks and they would say give us a bit matt were really busy. so he waited and no repsonse still so he figured he was off after a month so he started skating other boards and entered OIAM.

I got a kick outta the JT inspired BB line.
-
i don't think this guy will make it in new york
i hope that was a joke... the dude is from brooklyn
-

haha. dude doesn't actually have the greatest style, but i've seen him skate before and he is gnarly. hope the best for the hometown dude!
-
When will they start filming oiam nyc? I'm gonna be there in a week. Wonder if I'll see them filming shit.
-

I thought that line was never gonna end. He just kept pushing and pushing and pushing. He's got some tricks though.

There is no such thing as a perfect NY spot...there's something wrong with all of em...i respect his work and i hope he wins he payed his dues in this city and gets hated on alot...He filmed at that Banks line at a point where no one gave a fuck about the banks it was pretty much abandoned and dirty (dirtier than normal) before it finally got closed...He won the eS game of skate here twice i believe, which is pretty difficult cause you have to win in 2/3 different ones in different boroughs then win again in the city against people who come from all over, and pro's would compete in it here too (Ishod Weir even back then was consistent as fuck an he got tooken out by someone who probably doesnt even skate anymore) You gotta have a huge bag of tricks and a serious consistency to do it is the point im tryna make to people questioning Nate's trick selection. Don't sleep on this dude
-
I found the Jamie Thomas Welcome To Hell-esque line a tad bit corny.

is this sheffys kid?

no theres a lot of pretty sick spots in nyc. and you cant compare ishods consistency in a game of fucking skate to how good this kid is. flatground game aint shit.
