this guy just doesn t stop...
-
Only 2 minutes long? This guy's been slowing down the past 18 hours, really milking it at this point.
-
As if they used a fucking Coldplay song.
The Skateboard Mag has gone to shit.

Seriously? I haven't watched it yet but I guess now I can avoid having the song ruin it for me. You've done a service.

I'D RATHER WATCH RICKY OYOLA YELL AT HIS CAT THAN WATCH THIS GUY SKATE

i think i hated everything about that. the music, his style, the filming.
and obviously he's very talented, but it's like dragonforce...sure, those guys are amazing at playing instruments, but do i wanna listen?
no
-
Wow more footage ?? This guy is insane, what the hell....
-
Mr Joslin is probably the only skater in the world who actually needs a dedicated filmer
Kid's got heart
-
Does anybody over the age of 13 give a shit about this?
-
Terrible music but I found the skating enjoyable. Kid makes everything look completely effortless
-
His slouch shoulders bother me. That song was way too slow and inspirational, but the tricks were phenomenal. Flow to SOTY in a year? I predict at least 2 more parts this year
-
soon there won't be any spots left. he needs to be stopped.
-
I fucking hate coldplay with all my heart but i cant understand the hate bandwaggon! Man, he is in the streets skating his lungs out, with a fucked up feet and still killing it! I've seen more footage of this guy in this week than most of pros in their entire career, and even his throw away is mindblowing!! He is a true skate rat and you just cant hate on that!
-
Kid is insane.. How can you skate ender sized gaps and rails on daily basis without getting fucked up?? Has his TWS cover got out yet, dude probably still has an extra part waiting to get released.
His style is a bit weird, but I feel like people are gonna start appreciating it over time if he keeps it up like this
-
Those were some really good clips.
People are reaching. �Obviously this guy has gotten some panties ruffled.
Also, recognizing a Coldplay song is just as bad as using it.
-
meh, its quality over quantity.
he just blasts big tricks at random spots
not a lot of art or thought going on,
Im sure he'll kill it at street league

Forreal... I don't see where the hate is coming from, but to each his own, I suppose.
Also, fuck Coldplay.

I expected his Pro board to be announced at the end of that. I'm curious if he'll try to film a full pro-part before getting his ACL fixed, that has to be a shitty career decision at this time for him knowing how long he'll be out.
-
Well that was pretty corny
-
that ender though. how do you even come up with that trick on a spot like that
-
Also remember he's doing ALL of this on a torn ACL
-
i hope he'll be in the lrg video, i dont think ive seen his name in any ads for it.
-
b/s 180 kickflip the hard way and switch b/s bigspin were fuckin' tits
-
He is a true skate rat and you just cant hate on that!
seriously. obviously we would all prefer he had a better style, but this shit is ridiculous. i wish he was on flip. it would be cooler.
-
ender :o
-
having had a torn acl in my life i can honestly say i can not comprehend this dude
-
That nollie bs flip is seriously fucking huge, them stairs long, dumb angle. I think with time and maybe some surgery his style will get better. Plus he seems SO genuinely stoked on skateboarding as a whole that I'm sure he'll skate everything eventually and crush it. Personally I think it's kinda neat to see someone so rabid about what they love to do, skateboarding or not. It's weird to think about, but I bet this next generation of young kids are gonna grow up talking about Joslin in the same way my group of friends talked about Koston, the kid is a goddamn superhero.
-
Does he have a spinal condition?
-
thats enough
-
thats enough
Seriously. People are calling it hating, but it's Joslin Fatigue and it's real. There's such a thing as too much.
-
I don't dislike him. If he skated more interesting spots I'd probably actually like his skating.
-
yeah ive had enough. bored of this guy
-
I liked it, kid is a skate rat for sure

This guy is the skaters skater. Instagram is full of skating. Everything he owns is full of skateboarding. I would be surprised if his wife was full of skateboarding too. Skateboarding is this guys thing and he's fucking good at it. As much as I would like to see him go to SL and stomp Nyjah, I don't want him to become part of the circuit. Every clip he puts out on IG is gnarly. I am gonna say Am of the Year, turns pro for Plan B and Etnies around the same time and puts out a solo part that makes Fade to Black look like childs play.
-
"feel so relieved, feel so good" could be the next "hey man"
-
Burger a go go
-
This kids style is like WHL PJ and a mix of brian wenning.
Crushing spots with crazy lines like fuck all.
Kids am outta nowhere and already legend status
-
Milkin' it.
-
i hope he'll be in the lrg video, i dont think ive seen his name in any ads for it.
all they need to do is go film with him for one day and he'll have a full part.
-
Its funny how some people treat skating this kind of stuff as if its bubblegum pop music. It's not. I get that it might not be your cup of tea, but that's personal preference. He is an incredibly talented skateboarder who loves skating and skates what he skates. He's not some prefab studio creation. It would be a lot more contrived and lame if suddenly he picked up and moved to Brooklyn and skated nothing but cellar doors and bump to bars. But for some reason, some of you believe that everybody should be that one kind of skater.

I'm open to every type of skating there is. Hell, I'll even admit I love watching Nyjah skate. But Joslin looks fucking weird with his 90 degree back bends after tricks.
-
Rob Dyrdek is jizzin prematurely in the DC logo jeans to get this kid in street league.
Seriously I dont care what anyone says about his style, this dood is fuckin amazing.
His lil OC ramp edit is more stylish however. Maybe hes lurking slap, on meth?
Ive been this impressed by a new guy maybe 10 times in along time, Way/McKay/Duffy/Wray/Penny/PJ
-
What the fuck? Came on slap today and thought some troll was naming every thread something Joslin related for no reason. Opened each one and they all had real clips.
I can understand the hate for overexposure but I actually appreciate that he seems to do nothing but skate. I'm sure I'll be fatigued by over-saturation but I recently discovered that I can just shut my computer off and I won't have to watch anymore. This discovery blew my mind.

I did the same shit back when i had chronically sore knees. hopefully he gets that partially torn ACL fixed while it's still intact before he has do it all the hard way and get hurt first, but clearly its impossible to get him off a skateboard and i doubt he'd just voluntarily stop & get surgery on it while he can still shred everyday. skating the types of gaps he does almost make that ACL seem like a ticking timebomb.
you're actually not even supposed to absorb the impact with your knees, you're supposed to stabilize yourself with your upper legs and use the MUSCLES to take most of the impact (like when lifting weights with squats) but you still gotta bend your knees to a certain extent to engage those legs properly. you can tell when he lands his knees can't immediately absorb all the force & transfer it to his thighs upon landing so he bends them every so slightly and uses his back to compensate
-
did no one in this thread watch his go pro part? i don't even get why people are trying so hard to hate on this kid. fully agree with the pj mixed with wenning comment. skates fast, does insane lines, is undeniably one of the gnarliest guys out, one of the most tech guys out and how can anyone not be stoked to see him shake up street league.
-
Even if this kid never puts out another part he'll be talked about for a long time. He's already put out more footy than trainwreck, or scott kane.
-
Holy shit. This dude is in a rush to put it out there. Aside from how awful his parts are put together, he fucking rips. Kind of makes you think what will become of Plan B. He's like some hybrid of Shekler and Pudmill.

Mostly agree but I'd put him more in the Reynolds category skatewise. Joslin is amazing, but I don't see him being the guy to do a lot of NBD's in regard to the first to do certain ledge, manual or hand rail tricks. This is what made Koston so crazy when you look at some of the things he was the first to do. He'll be a guy who constantly takes hard/technical tricks to massive gaps which is sort of what Reynolds has done his entire career even though he is clearly capable of skating all types of stuff. Joslin's stuff is beyond insane, not a huge fan of his style but his knee being fucked might not allow him to get as much pop on certain tricks of be able to land cleanly.
-
Even skateboarding is like floggin a car?
-
I haven't seen his true part, but I cant see him not getting SOTY at this point. Can't recall anyone dropping the amount of footage Joslin has in such a short span. There must be a lot of anxious pros watching these clips.
-
I expected a Classic Slap worthy in-joke when I saw half the Photos&Videos front page was all new Chris Joslin part threads. This is fucked.
-
I dont think putting this shitload of footage out is anywhere near cool. When it`s obviously planned to do that, what does he really expect to achieve?

What the fuck does this even mean?? How could you not appreciate the fact that there's so much free footage? I can understand the hype being diluted due to oversaturation (when I logged in this morning I thought all the Chris Joslin threads were a bit much), but to say that it's not "cool" is just a sad attempt at trying way too hard to find something to hate on.
-
He's really good and is obviously very driven. Looks like the quintessential skate rat. But I'm not that into it. His style isn't very easy on the eyes so I'm honestly only entertained by his biggest tricks (eg. doing THE BIGGEST tre flip ever). Everything else is kind of generic. I've seen bigger switch heels and switch flips and I've seen better ledge tricks, in most cases done with better style. Good on him for being so talented but there's nothing there for me to stay interested.
-
I can see what the guy is saying, if your looking at a knee surgery it might be better to drip feed the footage out
-
if you actually watch his parts and don't just put your blinders on when you see difficult/technical/gnarly tricks that aren't overtly artsy fartsy, you'll realize he does some pretty awesome stuff.
the way he floated off that smith grind 180, the lipslide down a handrail to a fucking manual, the boardslide to fakie followed by a quick half cab off the curb, and the way he popped the nollie flip during the ender come to mind.
-

everyone keeps saying he has a torn acl (because he said it).... but does he really?
