DO YOU MISS STEVE BERRA?

[georgethecat]

one time Berra came to the spot and introduced himself to every skater one by one. "Hi, I'm Steve," he said as he shook our hands. It was strange. He didn't bring his board.

Steve Berra, Berra Refrigeration.

[HeapsCool]

Now he’s back I realized I didn’t miss him  :'(

[Yonnycage]

That Dylan story is older than time. Next we’re gonna be recapping AO and Koston’s beef

[pro club blanks]

To be honest, I kind of want this one board of his as a wall hanger for reasons.

Thats a rad little dude on there, like a hedgehog or badger

Im fucking with it, id hang that board and white out over steves name and pretend alien gave a small animal a pro model

Now I remember that there was a drama with Olson and koston but I forgot the details. Correct me if I’m wrong but was it something about Alex talking smack about the berrics?

Once upon a time, Steve Berra made some significant contributions to skateboarding.

That’s a cockroach

Nah dude, that's a dickroach.

¨Steve Berra, Berra Refrigeration.¨ Classic!

[Allen.]

Where are you
And I’m so sorry

Steve, you're back.  I am surprised your rep isn't lower yet.

fuck that guy

his rolling thunder part is fucking amazing

[Uncle Flea]

You know what would be sick. See if Steve can kicky back t still. I would love to see a backside flip if possible

[devils acrobat]

Opening this thread page made me realize I miss @georgethecat. Always enjoyed their posts

[ASS FAULT]

Great!

[Cheshire Cat]

I miss Steve Berra's skateboarding, yes.
Great bs flips as everyone knows, but his style in general deserves a bit of a mention for appreciation. Even in his rare Berrics BATB or other appearances it was always nice seeing him on a board.

I don't rewatch this part often, but it's one of my favs of his. The half cab flip bs flip (that he would later go on to best in Mindfield), the 360 flip @1:56 and the ender kickflip 5050 are still great.

Now, a Berra part I do rewatch with a degree of frequency is his much maligned part in Skate More -2005.

I've always been a defender of this part and won't stop anytime soon. The vitriol around the fake spots was so ridiculous (I remember seeing people decry it as duplicitous in some way) considering how open both Colin Kennedy and Berra were about it as well as the thought process behind it.
When I realised some of the spots were modified and added to how they were, I didn't feel deceived. I mean I'd already suspected the kicker to loading dock was a wooden ramp given the noise- but it all made the part more interesting to rewatch.
There's a clip with a flip nosemannual then a fs flip over a gap; the manual pad is just a plank of wood propped up by bits and pieces and doesn't have any set dressing like another manual pad in the part with some brickwork and lighting (pretty sure that one was part of the Berrics precursor). That's the one "fabricated" spot clip I dislike, and it's when it's obvious its a set up part to the spot.

Idk, I could probably waffle on about this more but instead I'll just encourage you to watch the two parts and see if you enjoy them.

A reasonable response.

I will defend his rolling thunder part till my death, but other than that he deserves all the criticism he gets (and more).

Nobody has really got better at skateboarding since Steve Berra's Rolling Thunder part. It's good enough for a 2023 pro part.

Dawg every one on that tour if they ever met you hate you. You that dawg with the bobble heads at your desk right? You have an office and broad collection no? Fa boards? Creepy shit. And you act like being nasty online never comes back and made some enemy? I think so.

I can usually parse what you're saying through the filter of your terribly unfunny next-level irony gimmick which no one enjoys, but this time I really have no idea what you're talking about.

[HeavyAndExpensive]

It’s as if an undiscovered 4th Kingdom of life is trying to communicate with the other 3 via SLAP. Have we discovered an AI consciousness?

[GAY]

You mean like when I’m aiming for him with my paintball gun? Yes sometimes I do.

Shit up dilbert. You work at a desk.

Obviously struck a nerve. Sorry to pierce the veil; you can go back to pretending to be white trash or whatever you think you're doing.

@:54 you can catch a glimpse of the Berries GM who finally got fed up with borra's shit in 2016, sending them into a hypebeast tailspin.
