damn!

Questionable style to say the least.. Back tailing el toro shouldn't look that easy..
-
That tre flip body varial ruined the part for me.
-
What an epic trick wasted on this fucking guy.
-
The Good: back tail down El Toro is insane (and Hollywood 16)
The Bad: Pretty ropey style, looks like he can't push or move naturally on a board. Tre flip body varial annoyed me a lot for some reason. Also, dreadful music and editing.
-
The clip of him jogging up the stairs at 0:57 made me chuckle for some reason.
-

its crazy how routine that back tail looked.
-
Where do you get 32x20 pants?
-
Oh dear, this has the dilettante smell of early 2000s Euro parts. He could probably produce something decent if it was not for the lack of proper filming, editing, and mentorship on trick selection. I'd almost feel bad for him if it was not for the ender. How do you put so much effort into a part and manage to make the run up to El Toro look like you are a 12 year old pushing towards a ledge at a skatepark?
-
I followed this dude on IG after seeing the cover and he was so annoying. I get being stoked and proud to get your first cover especially for such an insane trick but he was giving himself so much props and hyping himself up it was crazy. Left a really bad taste in my mouth so I'm cool with the fact that this will probably be all we see of him and he'll be a fun footnote in El Toro's history.
-
you guys have shitty trap music in europe too? that sucks.
-
Is this the same dude who was doing ridiculous yo flips in pretty much every contest in europe a few years back? A bit baggier pants back then
-
Damn expected the dude who back tailed el toro to look more comfortable on his board than that. Dude is lucky he didn't kill himself.
-
the back tail was mad good, the rest of the part was rather suspect in myriad ways
must suck to have your glasses explode off your face every time you bail
-
I wish they just showed the back tail and that's it....
-
Carlos Ruiz pt 2
-
agree with all of the above and have to add those agressive high fives at the end had be loling out loud. the tre flip skux change was switch for what its worth.
-
I wanted to like this.. but man.. that is some horrific style.
-
I think everyone is hating a little too hard on the part... just my opinion. One of his biggest mistakes was getting known for the back tail on El Toro, then putting out a part that just doesn't match that caliber of skating.
Pros: Frontside 5-0 sex change. Pretty sure that's an NBD but could be wrong.
Cons: All of that stupid fucking filler footage. The frontside wallride that he barely tapped the wall on. The switch tre to oh my god how did I roll away from this. I'm not sure if it's because it's Jart that backed the part but your homies should really be honest when you put out 2 minutes of boring shit and 2 minutes of ok-good shit. Also filming in HD did not help his case much.
I give the part a 4/10. Haven't come across a 10 yet in my 20 years of skating.

PLEASE. PLEASEEE. FOR THE LOVE OF CHRYLSER STOP PUTTING TRAP MUSIC IN SKATE VIDEOS.

theres some people that just shouldnt be good at skateboarding and this guys one of em. go pick up a yo yo or something
-
What Puzzle video # was this from again?
-
Part was ok. I cant really talk shit because the biggest thing I ever back tailed was only a 19 stair.

im almost 100% sure arto's Menikmati and Sorry parts are 10/10. correct me if im wrong.... Dylan Gravis part....pretty sure a lot of really sick stuff has happened since 1998......

By the time I got to the ender, didn't even care to see it.

it's subjective but i'd say welcome to hell was jason jessee [whole video].
PJ's WHL too but just his part. southie was close, 8/10

honestly that trick fucking sucked

French rap is hilarious. My ex lived there for years and would always show me the worst music.

Back tails el toro clean. Lands half of his other tricks like shit. Does not compute.

the bsts was owen wilson acting like adrien bulard
-
i could name at least five 10/10 parts, i mean reynolds stay gold and pj whl are shoe ins
-
For someone who skates a 20 stair he sure skates a lot of 8 stairs
-
the way he popped up when he landed....i lost it
-
I'm not sure how to feel about this
-
This is the perfect example of where slap is just fucking wrong. Sure the kid has a weird fucking style, and it’s super nerdy looking, but it honestly fits what he’s doing. It felt like the kid didn’t give a fuck what people thought about him, and shut shit the fuck down. How the fuck are people hating on his level of skating. The drops off those wall/bank rides alone were fucked. That whole part was gnarly as hell, like that frontside flip in the bank where the supreme dudes hit up, and the biggerflip(was one of the very few I’ve ever seen done well, and possibly the best I’ve ever seen down stairs). Sure does the music suck, and was the editting shitty, yeah, but those hating on the skating other then style remarks, sounds like some of y’all have no fucking clue how stupidly hard and gnarly some of that shit was.

People have done that trick for like 30 years..maybe not down a hubba..
-

-
it's a shitty edit and his tricks suffers from bad filming half the time. which does not make for a good part. it felt thrown together, like they had to get this part out quick before everyone forgets about the back tail
-
yeah that was fuckin weird
also that song made me so drowsy and confused
buttt (among all the atrocious style etc) holy fuck back tailing el toro is insane and it looks so fucking gnarly, esp after that bail. that being said, lol and totally agree @ whoever said way to waste such a gnarly trick on this dude, cause wow
-
Although the tricks were pretty wacky (for the most part) whoever filmed and edited this did him no favors at all. This part could have had some potential to it, but the shitty french trap song mixed with all the awkward Broll shots and unnecessary use of tricks (switch tre body varial, among lots of others with crazy landings or horrible filming) made this part 10x more bad than it needed to be.
-
The epitome of no style.
-
When I saw the Jart logo I was getting worried. The filming and overall vibe then lived up to the logo.
Good style or no, he deserves being filmed better than this. The back tail shove down Hollywood was filmed decently, if the whole part had been filmed like that and the fillers cut... too bad.

Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh.
It is shitty.
-
Jart is the worst thing.
Love the kid hate this company.
-
firstly, one cannot wear size XXL shirts/hoodies and pants made for a 12-year old.
And the quick-cut editing is unnecessary. They should've just focused on filming a single decent angle for each trick.
It's a pretty ugly video. But I really think changing his pants would've made a world of difference. And the music of course.
-
too little lines and too much filler footy
-
I'm with most of you guys on the editing/tricks selection.
but please please, the song is not french, it's some Russian wack trap.

that was good, except the shitty trap
you guys are crazy in the head

Wow. I never would have predicted that the El Toro trick was nearly the only smooth one in the whole video. I guess the Hollywood High bsts shove was smooth too. But everything else seemed real uncomfortable. I remember seeing this kid in the recent Tampa Am trying to late flip out of the flat rail for best trick and thinking "that's nuts, but pretty ugly too" and I think the summarizes all but the last two tricks of this part.
Also, maybe it is just the filming and all the single tricks, but it looks like he is skate so slow. It's like, the anti-EE3 Ricky Oyola.

Exactly what I came here to say. Not how I wanted to see back tail get claimed.
I’ve only seen the one clip so I can only imagine what the stuff people are actually talking shit about looks like.
-
got to give the guy credit, takes some serious balls to wear those pants
-
Backtail shuv Hollywood is bonkers also.
-
No idea how people can seriously listen to this, and pick it up for a part, holy shit. It might actually be hard to find worse. And the disgusting "singer" speaks russian not french.
-
it’s a situation where sometimes “less is more.”
If the video would have had the back tail shuv (Hollywood High), the back tail (ElToro), the switch bigspin heel, and a few other notable tricks... Adrien would begin to build a legacy. However, the editor chose 4 minutes of French trap music, B roll, sketchy landings with a few mind melting tricks sprinkled in.
I’m a fan of Adrien, but filmer and editor really dropped the ball

sad thing is, I'm sure sw 360 flip late frontside 180 has the potential to look super sick if done proper (full rotations, all in the air); regs too, actually. this is just a sketchy ass sw varial flip with a body varial when you really look at it; let's not pretend it's anything else. anyway, that clip really wasn't needed.

No it doesn’t. It really shouldn’t ever be done.

I think he's trying to get a sock sponsor.
Better than me but all he's 'got' is an effortless back tail?

Remember the clip of him in a comp in a baggy grey tracksuit doing cool tricks.
I remember thinking, damn I can't wait for a street part of this dude.
Well damn what a letdown, I couldn't get through that whole thing. I haven't even seen the el toro footage and I don't give a shit. He sucks.

normally I'd be with you but as far as this particular trick idea is concerned I think it may be one of those instances where the world just hasn't seen a real one yet. everyone and their neighbor (most often fourteen years old living at the skatepark) has been doing piss poor excuses for them, but I think it should be possible to do a solid one with good form, actual pop and a legit catch that would look good. look at how some people like Tim O'Connor have been doing 360 flips and don't tell me somebody along those lines with great style couldn't manage to make something out of that ridiculous idea. but I can see why you'd have doubts; myself I never thought a 540 flip could ever, ever look good till Kenny Reed did that one exceptional one, I didn't even know that trick could ever have some form. fuck flatground revert tricks though, yeah. I don't even know why I'm posting this.

This forum is so incredibly toxic. The guy had a part with good tricks and an incredible ender. The music and editing is a byproduct, any skater could look passed that.

I had the same kid but he called it a twisted flip. I'm facebook friends with him now he's really into RC cars and men's rights
-
a staggering amount of people who dislike this part are also dumb enough to think that rapping is in french
-
I know nothing that the rapper said but I had to have heard all those instrumentals before, from every popular song out right now. Why is it still called rap and not pop if its the mainstream popular music?
-
why not just call every fliptrick a flip
-
couldn't they have waited a week or two to hype up the last trick AFTER the part was released?

Ummm, no. This skateboarding; while some argue that it’s not meant to be taken seriously, I’ll argue that it has been and always will be about cultivating the epitome of style and coolness. If you look past anything to find something acceptable, you sadly don’t understand the foundation of what makes skateboarding the best in the first place.

- Is this guy French? Seems French.

Same. Followed and unfollowed dude in a week. His skating doesn’t do much for me but he’s clearly feeling himself.

The back tail was nice. It just doesn't make that much sense how he looks so bad skating up to it, and away from it. Immediately standing up as straight as possible after landing it weird.
