I was really surprised and happy he had a full part. I like the way he moves his arms when he pushes (no homo).

his part was a suprise for me. he was always great, but he kept it pretty basic. and that new part is just on a better level then his section in yeah right. that technical step up did not erase his smoth style. that is like a direct translation from german to english, so try to figure out the right grammar

i think its crazy how in other countries, they try to teach english and other languages, and lots of people are fluent in them, and here in america we dont give a fuck about anything but english, and only spanish now because so many mexicans are coming over

Rick's part was amazing!  Maybe one of his best parts yet, the juries out though. The song went perfect with the skating too.

 I like that skateboarding has progressed to the point
where 35 year olds can still hold it down.

Favorite part of the video.  One of the only parts in the video that the music wasn't awkward.

While we are appreciating, let's throw out some classics!

rick howard virtual reality (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWJHdASiLuM#)
That one will always be "the" Rick Howard part for me. The lines at Beryl starting at 2:06 are my favorite. That fakie inward heel on the bank and the 360 flip following it... yep.

goldfish (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyevfgvDYV4#)
Wasn't a big fan of this part, but that last line is amazing. One of the best f/s shove-its ever, and he looked good skating in Stan Smiths!

Mike Carroll & Rick Howard: FTC's "Penal Code 100a" 1996 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPoivj_rsuA#)
For a part made from all left-overs, this was also a favorite. The Dr. J era for Rick was a great one, the line at Venice Beach being my favorite. But that line of Carroll at the school with the two quick benches- sheesh.

Line at 00.25 is perfect (tre, heelflip, 180 fakie 50)

Don't forget Questionable
