For a moment I thought Reynolds would be at the session. Never expected to like these but they're fun and always have clips I haven't seen.

Anyways Dashawn's fakie 360 flip is so smooth. The way the board flips is really pleasing to watch.

the amount of knowledge and research that goes into these are truly astounding

Between Ted and these we’ve been pretty spoiled on cool spot history videos lately. Would be cool to see them cross paths for a video at some point.

I can't even comprehend the skate nerdery/obsession to be aware of some of these tricks. these videos are bizarrely comprehensive - extremely impressive!

what I absolutely love about these is that they don't discriminate between pros and 'no-names'. If you did the trick you get in.

Yeah it's so cool when people just know all the stuff. That WinkleTV guy has an almost encyclopaedic knowledge of Barcelona spot history. He makes these vlogs where he goes to spots with pros and he just rifles off almost everything thats been done there.

Love to see it

That was so good. The bits with Reynolds and the unseen angles and attempts were really cool to see. I feel like Reynolds wouldn’t normally let footy of him trying something see the light of day but he appreciates their videos so he was down to send them those. Very well done

I had no idea who that Darby guy was, and googled him after. He’s pretty amazing.

Also, wasn’t sure if want an hour spot history, but damn if I didn’t want it not to end. These are great, way better than this old ledge.

Darby is an absolute nutcase but he’s entertaining.

I agree that these are better than the T.O.L because T.O.L feels more focused on the architectural history and not the tricks and skaters.

That’s what I meant, I enjoy both, but the onslaught of trick history at the spots is a little more up my alley. Nice problem to have, deciding which spot history series I enjoy more.

Damn, ATL one is almost an hour long. Started watching it then realized I need to come back with some popcorn later haha.

The way they person's name the same for everyone, i cant put my finger on it but like the above, even if you did some weird fuckery, they are giving the same respect. So rad.

This series is so good. Did they move to ATL? Lots of coverage lately. Dern Bros if you do Bell South (RIP) I know first handrail front board and 50-50.

I think they were on a trip and banged (bung?) out a couple episodes.

fineslime · « **Reply #81 on:** April 11, 2024, 01:26:43 PM »

one thing I've realized through this series and their youtube channel as a whole is that Kanaan is really fucking good and he has been for a long time. I can't wait for his pro part. he has some insane tricks uploaded in their youtube shorts.

It's bung.

Cyclops rail looks so difficult! I wonder what the upcoming hammer is Kaanan referred to?

No flip in grinds/slides shows how harsh it must be

The back foot landing on Heath's tailslide is always burned in my memory. Love this series so much.

when dalton refers to kanaan as one of the best rail skaters in the world i was like pfft but then after watching and thinking back on all the insane shit we've seen him do i can't help but agree

i still think of him as the joker but he's starting to carve out a nice niche for himself with these videos - wonder if jamie thomas is stoked on this channel getting popular or annoyed?

It blows my mind when I watch shit like this. These guys doing that kind of stuff first try, during a game a skate... I can't even imagine how much time they have spent on a board to be able to do that.

Dark Knight · « **Reply #88 on:** April 17, 2024, 12:31:56 PM »

These guys are fucking tight.

Dark Knight · « **Reply #89 on:** April 17, 2024, 05:17:08 PM »

Double post, fuck it.

But, it must be so awesome to have a sibling to skate with. I tried to get my little brother to skate (7 year difference) he fell once and was over it.

I think the very first hard slam you take as an inexperienced skater is the litmus test of if you’re going to continue doing it.

For some, first slam they are out haha
