doesn't get enough credit for being one of the best
-
Brad just reminded me that the best thing a skateboarder can do to improve their style is to lose the tight pants.
edit: Speaking of style, what the hell is up that fit @ 0:58 lol?
-
This, like most Brad Cromer parts, doesn't really have a traditional "ender", because the whole part is a steady flow of perfect taste and execution, and no one trick seems to be worthy of the end.
Glad to see another impossible noseslide from him - he makes those look so damn good
-
That part put a smile on my face. Always solid from Mr Cromer.
-
low impact skating done right
no comply tailslide lipslide was very tasteful
-
he just does everything so proper that you feel excited about a flatground nollie tre. if there ever were another (non-butchered) TWS video, this part and spenny's part would fit right in
-
Kind of weird to be wearing a Hockey t-shirt in multiple clips, no?
Felt as though the songs weren't really in sync with what was going on in the part.
-
Making it look easy. Another amazing Brad Cromer part.
-

After scheming on AO and 917, Dill had to go after his next best friend Gonz.
-
So damn good. I especially loved 0:47, looks like a fun little spot.
-
I think he has been wearing that hockey shirt for years, probably just likes the movie the design is from.
-
i always thought the only trick he can’t do is a front heel until now
-
What a gem.
-
His skating is always good... Sometimes when he's riding up to a trick... And he's got laser focus and his eyes are all intense... He kinda looks like Hayden Christensen in Revenge of the Sith
-
This guy is simply the best. All textbook all the time.
-
One of the best around right now. He just floats his tricks.
-
Part of the year, so far. It was all excellent. This and the Alltimers edit a few months back are the only things that I'll revisit.
-
that half cab flip over the bump to bar was skateboarding perfection.
-
Favorite skater's favorite skater type shit
-
Wow.........
-

edit: Speaking of style, what the hell is up that fit @ 0:58 lol?
that was my favorite fit in the vid, maybe not favorite clip but favorite fit
-
My only complaint is that it ended.
-
he just does everything so proper
For real, every landing of every trick is done with precision. No flaws at all in his skating.
-

Right haha. He rolls up looking like he's about to perform heart surgery or split an atom or something, does an absolute beauty of a trick, and then just has a look on his face like he's relived he rolled away.
No shame though. When I do tricks my mouth/face always crinkles in a weird, super unflattering way e.g Beagle's "filming face" or Michael Jordan's tongue."

Shiiiitt if anyone made the whole tight pants and eras kit look good it was this dude, his style is great no matter what he wears. His trick selection is getting a little bit more questionable but it doesn’t really matter because he makes it all look good. Loved that they left the kick flip slam in after the impossible, shit was so floaty
-
Brad Cromer is so cool
-
i love this man! always great songs. I think in a past thread someone said something along the lines of "brad cromer does his tricks the way I do them in my daydreams about skating" very accurate statement
-
We all owe it to Cromer to buy his decks. I'm ashamed i have yet to ever get one but will be my next.
Also wasn't he injured somewhat recently? is this before or after injury?

He looks super sad, probably the most emo skater ever. I liked the dude holding the umbrella for sad brad.
Some of his bolts landings knocked the wind out of me.

Pretty much, he reminds me in some ways of Nate Broussard in that regard. His tricks just float. And, they do everything so clean, that even questionable/illegal tricks work.
-
Brad Cromer is so so cool
-
One of my favorites. I love seeing new footage of this guy. Every trick he does is just crisp and clean. He knows how to make a line not boring to watch.
-
5 minutes of Crome to the dome. :o
Love his Nate Jones vibes.
-
Such a good style and huge bag of tricks! Loved the Lemonheads song too...
-
So sick. The ollie onto the wooden wave and sliding fs 180 to ride the bumps backwards gave me somer serious ASMR chills.
-
big pop, perfect flick and proper catch always from this guy. so fucking sick, even when he breaks out of his normal bag of tricks he still makes it look good. that first nollie bs flip... :-*
-
Not a favorite Lemonheads song of mine, but a Lemonheads song nonetheless and much better than a lot of songs I've heard in videos that have come out recently.
-
Best flip tricks in skateboarding. Will watch this 2000 times.
-
Fuck it, give him the trophy.
-
Dope they got a dude that follows him around with an umbrella. U may not get health insurance being pro but at least they give ya a umbrella guy.
-
Gat damn that was sick, Cromer is the best, top 5-10 for me.
That might be my fav Cromer part and that is saying a lot as he has had some epic parts and i love em all.
Cromer living in NY is amazing, he really took advantage of COVID on a few of those spots.
Cromer+Lemonheads+NYC is too good a combo.
great fits as expected, i esp liked the 88 one and 1:07. Punk and Yo belt as it were
The Veldt is obscure, i expect nothing less from someone with such good all around taste, least of all music.
Heavy re-watchability

really, no Grand Prairie?

We sure do.
After injury
Kind of weird to be wearing a Hockey t-shirt in multiple clips, no?
Felt as though the songs weren't really in sync with what was going on in the part.
Hockey in 3 clips, i feel like with Hockey, Sci Fi Fantasy, and a Baker hat he just likes supporting people/things he likes in skating maybe?
-
Watched it four times already.
-
Watched it four times already.
3 but I don’t blame you for watching it 4 times.
-
Id love to look like Comer or Kenny Anderson on a board..not happening
-
Could see him on
-
I love him so much I just want to hug him.
-
I'm sitting here fantasizing about doing one trick "Cromer perfect" in my life.
What a wonderful part.
-
Love Cromer, this ruled. One thing I wish became a trend in skate filming is ‘spot context’. Like film the spot before the trick from an appropriate angle to show how heavy or shit to skate it is. Like, a side shot of a bank to get an idea how steep it is, or a gap to get a sense of scale. Not that this is a super ‘heavy’ part or anything but im sure a lot of the spots are way harder to skate than he makes it look. And i think its be interesting to slow clips down a bit and let the tricks breathe. 🙏🏻
-
So smooth
-
His whole career has been fun to watch, never a dull part or a bad song imo. I realized in this part that I never see people backside heelflip on banks. In my head it would look shotty and need a pivot but he actually catches that one at full 180. Dont see that a lot.
Im gonna buy a Cromer board next too.
-
When the very first trick makes me loose my shit I know the part’s gonna be good. He’s infallible.

agreed - it could even be a cool b sides thing to examine the spot/approach with video pans or static shots. since raw edits are so common these days I don't see why this can't happen.
-
He can skate, but after him posting about crisis actors, and Sandy Hook conspiracies, I can't back this dude.
-

Yes to that. Came across the demo tracks for that Lemonheads album earlier this year. They are really great in their raw form. Worth a listen if you have not.
-
He's the best. Everything he does is perfect but not in robotic way.
-
Anyone know how long he filmed for that? Everything was perfect. This guy is in the same league as Ishod and Louie. At least for me.
-
the 88 jersey ???

Word. I find it super interesting to either see a spot in person or to see a photo of it to put it into context. Just instead of showing me the cunts face, give me a set up shot of the spot. They kinda 'analyse' spots on the Nine Club video watches, but mainly just say 'duuuuude what' where they could be bringing up other actually interesting shit.
-
There’s no way this is from post injury, he just recently said he’s getting to 70% and those clips were higher than that
One of the most talented skateboarders alive
-
That was tremendous!
-
Shiddy version of song.
-
Stop stealing my friends tricks and stay the fuck out of Jersey Brad >:(
-
woohoo!

He sprained his ankle bad recently. I’m guessing that’s why there’s no ender ender. Tho the nollie 3 manual 180 was sick.
-
His style and technique are all his own, another great offering.

High caliber all around. That halfcab flip over that bump to bar might be the best halfcab flip I've ever seen (4:53).

Very good

pretty sure that half cab flip is a deep fake

Great part. Such good style and trick selection.
I’ve been to that bank-ledge he did the sw ns flip out, shits tough to skate all up hill. Respect

I think there was a post in lame instagram posts by pros..
This part was really good tho..
Idk if is it just me but do those loose pants and with the hangover stare make him look like a middle aged toddler? I'd argue his style was a bit better wearing a straight leg style pants. Don't get me wrong he makes it look easy but for a man of smaller stature wearing big cloths make them look even smaller and boxy. Maybe thats whats he is going for so..

Tbh I thought the current style and trend was to look like a middle aged toddler. John Shanahan Tiago Heitor all those dudes wearing big boys
-
That shirt with the alien was literally something someone in my 7th grade wore. Metal ball necklace and the occasional jnco pant worn in addition
-
low impact skating done right
no comply tailslide lipslide was very tasteful
yep
yet another one of his parts that will be on repeat--like this one, which i come back to often to this very day:

Hot damn! An interesting factoid about the part:
Of the 42 separate clips, only 7 did not contain a flip trick of some sort. That’s an astonishing rate of 5:1.
This dude is single handedly destroying the cliche that old dudes can’t flip their boards.

It's a great one and he is one of the best but remember Bobby Dekeyzer's one on flat in a cons vid.

Bobby DeKeyzer and Danny Brady have the best ones on flat I've seen, that might be the best one I've ever seen over something though. The one that stands out for Bobby for me is the one in the opening line of his into to Quasi part. Austyn has a ridiculous one over a fence in Who's to Say.
Cromer is something else though. Pretty much every trick he does is perfectly executed.
-
Bump!
TO BAR!

it is not only that he might be destroying that cliche, but his flip tricks are what is really great about him for me... and hes only 33

Cromer is most definitely a Top 5 contender for best songs used in his parts
-
Brad Cromer skates like how I daydream I could skate
-
BUMP!

Rough Cut bump
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9-kZezthRk&ab_channel=ThrasherMagazine
-
brad's as good as it gets. this rough cut could be 4x as long and i'd watch it with just as much enthusiasm. also stoked that you can see his bike in the background of so many clips.
-
Possibly the GOAT of South Florida.
-
Jake Johnson's fakie ollie over the bump to bar near the end was nuts.
-
Possibly the GOAT of South Florida.
Only if Forrest Kirby agrees then I will also agree.
-
More of a clean cut, really.
-
Aint nothing Rough about that rough cut
-

seriously this mf just redoing shit even after he lands clean the first time, and i'll still keep watching it over and over and over
that bs flip over the spikes could just play on an infinite loop and i'd be happy
-
Good God, the level of perfection here almost brings tears to my eyes. The kickflips at the start are all time.
-
Most proper skateboarding on the face of the earth… this is in fact how it’s done.
-
Imagine just kickflipping over Blubba all day, every try.
If I could skate like one person for just one day, it'd be Cromer.
-
Man, the rough cut was so good. Imagine being able to float like that. And seeing it live would be 200 times more impressive. His friends must trip out.
He’s also a white shoe only bandit… I love it. King Cromer.
