Seems like the first part from Nick since the whole "reinvention" of his style/trick selection. Skating real spots the way he does Cherry park.

Loved it. I'm not one who cares about "illegal" tricks, but there's a few in this part that are straight to skate Guantanamo.

Giant pole jam to the ditch and the ender were both insane.

Really enjoyed that

Those spots, those pants, those ledge dances: paging special agent dale cooper what year is this

Ender was nervous

When did this dude get fun to watch?? This was great!! Ender was bananas, tailslide to front blunt was awesome.

I wanted to dislike it after the third street grab but this was  a fun part to watch. Lots of cool ledge combos and the ender was awesome.

WOW That Ender was WILD!!  Almost took his head off on that pole at the bottom.

Taking the concept of 'Illegal Tricks' and tossing it right out the window.  It's not what you do it's how you do it

Def not the Nick Garcia I remember watching. That was unexpected, and bonkers.

Post by: Miller92 on January 20, 2022, 01:05:19 PM
not sure what ya'll talking about.  Nick has always been sick.  especially the last 4-5 years.

really refreshing to see someone using their skateboard in a unique way.  i feel like so much of what comes out nowadays is just the same old shit.

nice job breaking the mold on this one

So sick, one of my favorite styles in skating. Not a fan of all of those combos, but noseslide bs Smith was really cool. Ender is one of the most fucked up things I've seen in a while
Title: Re: Nick Garcia's "Flowers for Mom" Element Part
Post by: DCLOVE on January 20, 2022, 02:41:49 PM
Nick is the one with insanely hot wife who doesn’t do flip tricks and Julian is the newly sober  one who only does kickflips right? Why did Julian get the sponsor glow up when Nick is going this hard ?
Title: Re: Nick Garcia's "Flowers for Mom" Element Part
Post by: Mandatory Reload on January 20, 2022, 04:01:49 PM
that was incredibly sick. despite being aware of this dude for what seems like a decade, i've never really seen him do anything memorable before this, but I'm 100% convinced now. illegal as it might be, the fucking foot-clutch bunny hop thing over the picnic table is absolutely fucked. loved every second of this, fully a fan

I have been a fan of this guys for ages now and I totally get the Julian/Baker thing. Nick would have been a much better fit. Imo of course.

That part almost made me wanna buy some Etnies…

Man was about 1 inch from serious brain damage

Also he's lucky he could walk after those slams

he did a bs noseblunt on that bank to wall at the jimi hendrix school in his peace part. one of the gnarliest things that didn’t really get talked about

For a long time I just considered him that one fool in element that didn't do any flip tricks BUT I think he finally figured out how to make that his strength. Lot of borderline illegal tricks but he committed to the shit and pulled it off. This was sick and I'm now a fan. Only took a decade of being on the team but better late than never.

I much prefer his previous trick selection but if he enjoys this makeover, more power to him. Ender was absolutely incredible though. One of the gnarliest tricks I have seen in a while.

I was just thinking Element can take advantage of the Heart Supply being so wack, Johnny Shcillereff and Nyjah being out, and the recent Trung Nguyen part (dark slide the curve rail on the classic element logo board) and rebuild a sick team and image. I sense a return to normcore aesthetics coming this year and classically uncool brands like element may have a chance if they play it right.

stray thoughts:

i'll be thinking about just that ender more than i will ever collectively think about certain entire full lengths (i thought plan b put out a video called 'true to this', so...) so kudos.

i think chicagof was probably the first to use rudi peni, and it was sick.

bill pepper standing on his board primo and still being the second or third shortest out of the seven dudes in the photo is incredible.

Absolutely fucked, so much style and skill and he always goes maximum warp. Last trick must be among the gnarliest things done on a board.
