Gave her the old Jaws treatment (bring Dad/cry).

Pretty crazy for a 15 year old. What goofy skaters have a good half cab flip? Id like to see that.
-
puttin' dem Cariumas to work. CoS standup!!!!
-
Imagine doing a trick "for Midler"
-
Did this go straight to the gram or did he have a full part too? Also, taking risks with shorts damn.
-
Hard to believe that the billboard on the background is not a Simpsons ad.
-
Midler is the Car Wash whisperer. Coincidentally hangs out with Mikey Taylor too.
-
That voice crack at the end was all time.
-

The billboard was my favorite part of the entire clip. Harvey Birdman was awesome, I'm curious what Bird Girl's show is going to be like.

Forget Midler! Curren Caples at the end with the Nickelback shirt on was the icing on the cake. If I saw him Curren roll up to the spot with that shirt on, you know I'm gonna commit.
-
He didn't pop.
-
He didn't pop.
Ha lol, thats true. He flopped! one of those ghost pops.. Midler shoulda called him out and made him do it again.
-

Not trying to hate at all. Dude has guts to try that, but he ghost popped EVERY single try. I'm not going to watch again, but I'd put $5 on not hearing/seeing the pop at all.

He's got cojones for sure - it almost seems scarier to not pop. You don't have much control without pop. I've eaten shit from accidentally not popping half cabs before cause its easier to over rotate or not have the board stay with you.

Damn in the Cariumas the skate industry is cold
-
This is gnarly, for sure, but I'm bummed that the carwash went from a sort of mythic battleground of skateboarding to somewhere that nobodies (no disrespect) come to huck in an effort to secure fleeting internet notoriety in under two years. I hope they skate stop it; when someone switch fs flips it in a year no one will remember that the reason anyone ever cared in the first place was because it took Gonz's eyebrow off trying to early grab into it and the appeal will be mostly gone anyway.

Not to mention...the standard fabricated Berrics back story. In Cariumas, day 3 “no cameras” even though there’s like 5 angles in HD wide lense. And then Midler just happens to “roll up to the spot”. Seems like a scripted event. Just like how all the joes were already in the background of old BATB videos but then they played it like Berra found them out of nowhere based on their submitted videos when in reality they were all being groomed by companies for years prior to that for the most part.
Props to the kid though. I wonder how long it will be before Berra and Danny Masterson are Eiffel Towering his 15 year old ass on a yacht with the SeaCorps while Ethan Suplee films.
-
isn't middler like, 23? did he just hit puberty?
-
After Yoshi Tanenbaum gazelle flips into it will The Berrics proceed to post 37 videos about it?
-

His plates on his Blue Audi are unblurred @5:04 - let’s get a DMV look up

Wait till you see who BS flips into it.

paul shier?

Maybe Bette Midler
Skating that in shorts is just stupid
-

AA, just for the slam?
-
A 5 minute documentary style berries video for 1 clip with ghost pop, self-cheer, cariumas & berries. Foul.
-
I wonder if anyone regular footed will step to this thing soon.

And half way across the continent, a young black man is murdered for an air freshener.

First trick at the Carwash with AirPods?
I think it’s lame how people have to revisit spots all the time. It’s a big planet, find new shit.
Also, that last sentence! At least Ethan Suplee is getting some work.
-
are Cariuma's the official shoe of The Berrics Gaming?
-
No pop=half cab into the Carwash with the plywood visibly showing. 2021.
-
almost rewatched this for underwhelmingness, but decided not to. not sure whether to be proud i withstanded the impulse, or sad because of the sucky situation of skate
-
Reminds me of when El Toro was the holy grail of spots to get a trick at, and random unknowns would go and do melon grabs and shit down it just to be able to claim an NBD.
-
Shout out to Dad and the 2 other homies
-
I can't hate on this. It's a 15 year old kid getting a trick on insane spot and being super hyped on it at the same time. Yeah he might disappear from the big skateboarding scene after this. But he did this trick on an insanely dangerous spot that hasn't been conquered that much. I don't care for the trick or how well it's been done - but I have to respect what he did since it is so dangerous.
Give the kid a high five and get on with your day instead of hating on some little kid.
-
Overacting homies are almost as bad as that half flab. Look, any trick into that is fucked but that's only a bit better than an acid drop into it. Considering what else has been done...
-
Was that Slim Jesus helping him with the plywood ?
Free max b
-

"Just cuz you got the power/that dont mean you got the right"
Yo if he was 15 and did this with no cameras, no midler, no cariumas, no berrics, no puberty scream, he'd have been in the clear. Its the fuckboyish way this was completed that was objectionable.
Cardiel did this shit in the dark with a beta max and some beers, show some respect
-
Yeah, dude should have never acted liked he was 15, in LA for the first time and landed a trick on a spot he had only seen in videos.
Bet the kid has never even done designer drugs. Loser.
-
Kid has some balls but this was wack. Stop skating the car wash and get your own spot. Such a stupid thing to do if you’re a young skater trying to make it too.
-
When we had the discussion last year I remember a bunch of people writing with great confidence that the car wash would never become the next El Toro because it’s just too gnarly, and I kind of believed it. Barely a year later and an unknown kid does a new trick on it for a Cariuma web clip.
-
The Car Wash Kid... its gotta ring to it.
-
I mean, I understand all the complaints but at the end of the day this is fucked. Anyone who has seen this spot in person would agree, props to this young 'un.

Don't care much for the Berrics or Carmex shoes, but when I see the title of this post there is only one thing I think of.

“Car wash cunt from Texas” also has a nice ring to it.

Is this amarican way of life... kill yourself for 5 minutes of fame..

In capitalist America you kill yourself.

Lol this is exactly what I was thinking

Carmex shoes
The insoles are schlacked with medicated lip balm, you can hear an audible (squish) every time you put em on
-
Is the Griddle Cafe across the street still open? Every time I ate there, I could never finish those huge fuckin' pancakes they serve. I usually have to take home a doggy bag but then the pancakes don't really hold up when I eat them the next day. (Do any Pals have good tips for how to reheat leftover pancakes, some with chocolate and/or whip cream accoutrements? Much appreciated.) Side note: Griddle Cafe gets pretty busy on the weekends, and the concierge uses a really complex 3-line system for letting patrons in, but it's worth the wait (if you want to eat your weight in pancakes). Yum!

Get the toppings on the side where possible, my g. No need to spoil the whole plate when you can put them where you need them and take the rest of your massive pancakes home.
-

yes
-
Hard to figure out what the worst part of this all is. For me its a tie between the fake narrative, and the fact that that's the easiest trick ever done there.
-
some of y'all are rude af. i doubt any of you guys would try this shit when u were 15. Let him vibe; no need to talk shit on the boards. sheesh.
also cariuma is not that bad, if anything we need more companies trying to make sustainable shoes. just don't buy em if you dont like em.
-
Hey 15 year old me would have shit myself to get a trick on a big iconic spot. Happy for him. I’m trying to be nice.
-

I heard of this new shoe company called Cramiuca that are making sustainable shoes. I don't know anything about them besides that they're affilliated with a religious organization called Aum Shinrikyo or something. Because we need more shoe companies, I will not concern myself with any further details.

Was that the name of the King Of the Hill episode where Kahn goes into business with Strickland and becomes Hank’s boss?

that was a quarter-cab at best, with no pop

I'm all for proving ground spots. I love Clipper or Carlsbad clips for example. But, I also love when guys just destroy their hometowns hitting a bunch of lesser seen or unknown spots like Bobby just did in Grand Praire and BOB, or Tom Knox's Atlantic Drift part last year. Both have their place in skating, although, I do find a part of just travelling the world one-upping known spots a bit sterile.
-
one of the most entertaining things about skateboarding is it's all one big purity discourse, where we list out all the factors that mitigate the purity of the skateboarding in question (berrics, cariuma, alex midler, etc), and then decide accordingly whether it can still be rad or not
-
I'm kind of surprised with the comments about just leaving the spot alone cause the Gonz ate shit there.
I always thought it was cool to see people doing different shit at the same spot. I mean the spots are so important for us collectively, it makes sense that people are going to want to skate them and do new shit at these spots.
I feel like I'm often a skate tourist as I always want to physically experience the famous spots I've seen in videos and photos my whole life. Shit, not the coolest Vancouver spot/trick, but I skated past the spot where Haslam does the front board to flip out on that up rail. It was cool to see in person.
It seems the don't one up people comments come out when the wrong dudes do new shit on a famous spot (Carlos Ruiz). This kid, despite his no-pop half-cab and the Berrics social media fake back story bullshit, made it into the history books with this trick. It is ugly as all hell and the presentation was disgusting, but he did a trick at an infamously gnarly spot.
Shit, I don't mind the whole make a name for yourself via El Toro/Car Wash thing. It is going to bring up some dudes who just kill it that might not have gotten attention, but the short cut will also be used by some kooky dudes that are just going for broke/internet fame.

I said people would forget that the spot was only interesting in the first place because Gonz ate shit there, not that it should be left alone for that reason. I meant something much closer to: it should be left alone because it would get blown out and go from extremely gnarly with an interesting history to just some place where people seeking internet fame go to try to get an nbd. I’m sticking by that because seeing tricks at the same spots over and over again gets old real fast. The car wash is headed in that direction, so it would be cooler if it were known for a handful of things instead of being just another blown out spot that used to be regarded as gnarly.

I stopped watching the Disney channel with my kid for a minute to watch this and I regret it.

Aloha fellow/former(?) 949-er. I used to spend a lot of time at the pool there for club teams. Was that skate shop up the street any good? It was like one of the 2 or 3 that I had ever been in at that age

everything about that trick is so unfortunate

That’s how skateboarding works, idiot. It’s called progression. The most creative forge the way, then guys in Cariumas water it down until Jack Ogrady releases his next part.
Also why is Cariuma the devil while Phil Knight pay no income tax? You guys racist against Brazil or something?

Kids so young, and did that sooo just ok that he probably would have got more props if he just posted it straight to instagram and moved on with his life. The berrics made this waaay worse than what it could have been

because cariuma is being backed by the corniest shit in skateboarding and is backing the corniest skaters in skateboarding.
I can totally see this kid coming back to try a non popped fakie bigspin 90 degrees into this thing

focus and so cal skate are both great.

Come on, it's not like the carwash is the sombrero or Third and Army, where you can see real ingenuity at work. Once a spot like that has logged a few tricks, there's practically nowhere left to go with it and the next obstacle awaits. It will likely never be "creative" and won't be "progressive" after even two hard tricks get filmed there; it's literally jumping off of a roof into a scary, steep concrete retaining wall. It's cool up to a point, but it reaches diminishing returns very quickly and is ultimately knuckle dragger stunt skating within the broader scope of things.
Others have said what's wrong with Caruima, dumdum, and it has nothing to do with Brazil.

So fucking what. A lot of us would rather see super heavy NBDs at insane spots than "progression" on small ledges.

Others have said what's wrong with Caruima, dumdum, and it has nothing to do with Brazil.
Jesus, read the post I was replying to, that's the guy who was saying this uninspired spectacle was somehow "creative" and "progressive"; I was merely observing that skating off a roof ultimately comes down to skating off a roof. If those types of stuntman antics are what you prefer in skateboarding, shalom, it takes all kinds. Personally, I like scary stunt skating just fine when it's done interestingly, but still think watching people hurl themselves down stairs or gaps or massive handrails isn't generally that interesting over the long term. And I don't give a shit about "progression," whatever that might mean by now, nearly as much as I do about seeing a variety of unfamiliar spots, or seeing familiar spots skated in unfamiliar or novel ways.
tl;dr: Alex Midler type hammers are boring/forgettable, whereas a hammers-free type of dude like Max Palmer is interesting/memorable. I actually forgot that Midler 360-ed the carwash until this video popped up and that was only a few months ago.

That’s how skateboarding works, idiot. It’s called progression. The most creative forge the way, then guys in Cariumas water it down until Jack Ogrady releases his next part.
Also why is Cariuma the devil while Phil Knight pay no income tax? You guys racist against Brazil or something?
Come on, it's not like the carwash is the sombrero or Third and Army, where you can see real ingenuity at work. Once a spot like that has logged a few tricks, there's practically nowhere left to go with it and the next obstacle awaits.

Doing something that has never been done on a heavy spot that anyone could have skated for decades is as progressive as swishy pant ledge tech NBDs, all day. And yes, Max Palmer is absolutely memorable, but lets not pretend he is the standard bearer for progression, as no one else really skates like him. Anyway, this unknown 15 year old is fucking rad, berrics or not. And I don't know about "hammers" being boring or forgettable, everyone remembers most of the tricks done here/Wallenberg/Love/etc.

also cariuma is not that bad, if anything we need more companies trying to make sustainable shoes. just don't buy em if you dont like em.

Wasn't there one other ollie into this? I thought someone posted the late-90s video part that had a car wash ollie a few weeks ago.
Also, has anyone else tried yelling, "For Midler!" before trying a trick? I tried it out yesterday and I grinded the shit out of this little ledge downtown. There might be something to this pre-trick ritual.
Finally, I re-watched the video and the stupid title card says, "He came without a filmer on the third day"... the angles are exactly the same as they were every other day. He was cellphone filmed the entire time not just the last day. Also, I like how they muted the colors for the first few tries and then as soon as this kid sees Midler "for the first time" its like a fucking Claritin D commercial and all the colors pop.

why did they show this kid crying at the end?? who in the berries editing department is that depraved that they needed to take this kid that low? i would love to know what greco thinks about this. bet he's un-framing his leather jacket if he sees this

Gave her the old Jaws treatment (bring Dad/cry).
wow this is even more unfortunate than i thought. i went back to analyze the make's ghost pop and i watched a little longer...the kid is really crying.
this is the most unfortunate clip of all time. the only redeeming factor is that Midler must be a pretty nice dude to pretend like gave a shit about that trick at all....the look on his face when the kid hugs him crying is hysterical.

Fully agree.
The stigma about expressing your emotions as they come is stupid. And dangerous. Yeah, everybody's a tough cool guy all the time, but on the inside everything's crumbling down little by little, and at some point it's too late.
If you're clowning the kid for crying (neither did i watch the video, nor am i a fan of Midler), yet lamented on the tragic losses of Raemers or Gartland, for example, well, just take a moment of reflection.
And stepping to a spot that you know put out Milton is not simply anecdotal.
-
I'm stoked for the kid.
Miltons kickflip was insane but I would also like to see a regular skater kickflip into it, land at a slight angle then carve down, if that's even possible.
I would love to see somebody backside flip or switch backside flip into it.
If the bank was on the other side I bet Bastien could have cab flipped into it in his prime.

crying because your worldview is self-centered to the point you can't see outside of your accomplishments and place them into perspective is not remotely the same as dealing with clinical depression and struggles that come with it and the effort it takes to overcome them.
sorry if we don't see a kid getting overly emotional over how great he is in the same category as Ben Raemers dealing with his depression

You're right, it's of course not in the same category. That's not what I was trying to say, and that's why i said little by little. An accumulation of experiences. I have no clue from where other people's depressions might emerge, i am not even sure where mine comes from. I just think there is some kind of link there, and a little acceptance would be nice, even if not as cool.
Ok, the first thing i thought was "damn he didn't pop!", and then i thought that i wouldn't have popped any higher and i skate mainly small stuff these days.
In the end, he's still a kid (maybe also did he cry from the relief of the tension? i don't know), and i'm aging. And i won't pretend that i understand or appreciate seeing the new generations being self-centered so much.
There are many sides to everything, and i also acknowledge that reading some funny trash talk here on slap makes my days better in the end.

Serious question: is there history/footage of people skating it like a regular bank spot (ride up - trick - ride down)? I feel like I've seen clips of Gonz maybe skating it that way?

cool guy convention over here

Berries, Care i uma, Midler... a trifecta/view that could never be me.

I think I remember this but also werent there smaller banks on the side that were grindable or was that another car wash spot?

I can totally see this kid coming back to try a non popped fakie bigspin 90 degrees into this thing
don’t act like that wouldn’t be impressive as fuck

i actually really hope this happens because it would simultaneously be so wack and also undeniably risky.
Also Jesus he’s a 15 year old skate rat who did a trick at an iconic gnarly spot while someone who is probably his favorite pro watched, I think many teenage skaters would also cry in this situation. Nothing to do with his world view lmao
-
I'd be crying if I bailed a trick on that thing and got to walk away with no injuries. Give the kid a break. When I was 15 most kids were still hyping themselves up to hit an 8 stair.

I haven't been to LA in forever, but I did skate another car wash spot (believe it's called Downtown Car Wash, rather than Sunset Car Wash). It has smaller grindable banks along the sidewalk plus a little hip thing over a pillar which I believe Gonz has footage on.

I can‘t see what should be wrong about a fiveteen year old kid who is just hyped on skateboarding.
That trick was legit as is the kid.
http://youtu.be/iX9FK0pDNlc (http://youtu.be/iX9FK0pDNlc)
Also dollins kickflip tries where better than any trick ever landed into the bank.
Don‘t question spawn.

Just to test your theory, who besides Cardiel, Greco, Milton, Midler, and the Texan child has done tricks at the carwash?
Wasn't there one other ollie into this? I thought someone posted the late-90s video part that had a car wash ollie a few weeks ago.
Also, has anyone else tried yelling, "For Midler!" before trying a trick? I tried it out yesterday and I grinded the shit out of this little ledge downtown. There might be something to this pre-trick ritual.
Finally, I re-watched the video and the stupid title card says, "He came without a filmer on the third day"... the angles are exactly the same as they were every other day. He was cellphone filmed the entire time not just the last day. Also, I like how they muted the colors for the first few tries and then as soon as this kid sees Midler "for the first time" its like a fucking Claritin D commercial and all the colors pop.

so good.
yeah it's extremely on brand for borra and the borrics to ratchet the DRAMA up to 11 in a way that just hurts the clip/accomplishment.
a lot of people are defending the kid but i don't think he really needs defending. if a five second clip of just the trick was fed into the online skate media meat grinder - a couple people would say 'nice pop asshole' and many more would say 'gnar.' and then we would move on with our lives. it's the borrics reality tv fucking real housewives of sunset car wash 'narrative construction' that did the kid dirty*
the berrics started when this kid was, what, 2 years old? [wrap your heads around that shit]. all the grotesqueries that make that video criiiiiiinge are probably just normal to him and a lot of kids that age, and that... fucking sucks.
*of fabricating 'street' spots and on fabricating coincidental encounters with a skater at the one iconic spot their career has become intertwined with? [i want to believe it was a coincidence just so i can choose to imagine that midler has spent innumerable hours driving by that spot multiple times per day every single day since he put down the 360]

I don‘t think that Gavin had much influence on how the video came out. I‘m pretty sure the berrics where all like
„If you want to you can give us the footage and we’ll put you out there to a large audience.“
And you better be sure i‘d have taken that chance in a fucking heartbeat.

Once Traes dad sees this he’s gonna tell him their going skating and end up at the car wash and tell him no food or video games till you ride you away.

In the not-so-distant past when skate trips were safe & viable, I hosted some friends from out of town. When we were getting ready for bed, I had a brilliant moment of inspiration and came up with Night Diarrhea. It's a fictitious medical condition. I was like "Oh hey before you go to bed, just be warned, I have night diarrhea." Like, if you hear me having explosive diarrhea all night long, don't worry it's just my Night Diarrhea acting up.
Eventually that week Night Diarrhea turned into the pepto bismol theme song, but instead of Diarrhea we'd sing Nyjahrrhea "Upset stomach, nyjahrrhea".
AND THEN, Night Diarrhea became the torment of the Midnight Midler. It was no longer a medical condition, but a curse. At Midnight, the menacing Midnight Midler would creep into your sleeping quarters and instill you with a terrible case of Night Diarrhea.
So that's all I have to add to this thread

The gnarly thing about Greco is he didn't go straight down, he landed at a slight angle and had to carve a bit.
That's hard as (painted) nails.
Also thanks to pointing out there is another car wash with banks quite similar. I guess LA Conservancy doesn't know about that one.
I looked it up on Street View and the bank The Muska skates now has skatestoppers, but mounted vertical instead of horizontal, so you can still do tricks between them or over them.
Edit: well you would need a small board.
Edit 2: what 128 kb maximum size for images? Is this 1994 and are we on Gophernet?? No offense to the mods you're doing a great job, just surprised.

wait so that one LA spot from all the vidsi watched growing up with the banks all down the blocks arent the same as the carwash?, some were like half size so like waist high and waxed, people did pivot fakie grinds into the sunse, others were clearly taller banks (beleive Huf fs ollied some bugged out channel bank to bank gap there olderhead pals lmk). i just assumed that was all the same spot and that it was like a city block, each side the banks were different.

I’d say “gnarlier” is synonymous with “harder” in many cases, such as this.

What's also gnarly (besides carving down) is Greco narrowly misses the slave flash on a tripod which is Photoshopped out of the cover but you can see it in the sequence.
He could easily slammed into it face first, which would be unpleasant at the very least.

Yup, just a bit north on Olympic, though I'm more familiar with the carwash. I think it still says Downtown Carwash even though it's boarded up. I'm gonna look up the history of those two carwashes. Interesting design with the same banked walls around the perimeter.
