I can't wait to see what gets done on this thing.
Also, this photo does such a great job showing how massive that ledge is in comparison to where you pop and land.

When he had that pavement part I had no idea who he was. 

Came across this skatemag video and it's crazy to think he was this good 7 years ago.

That one's hard because the lack of runway both ways.

Wow. He should reuse those Chicago street gap tricks and the nollie front 3 over the table. Those are too sick to be stuck in a Mag Minute for all of eternity.

Sheesh.  This guy rips.

kind of shocked we haven't seen this spot used as just a basic manual pad to drop, look at how perfect that looks.
that being said, I am not surprised nobody has used the tall ledge like this before, the potential hang-up slam looks like it could kill you.

nick matthews has the most powerful backsmith in skateboarding right now

Some real skate nerd shit right here, very studious.

The photos real nice! This guy might have a powerful back Smith but the most stylish back smith in skateboarding RN belongs to Nik Stain imo.

Was tripping on this yesterday and that ollie photo last month. Dude is severely underrated. Quasi is blowing it for not giving him more attention.

This one blew me away last year

Good catch! That angle does not do that clip justice.

Been a huge fan ever since that pavement part like 2 1/2 years ago now. Happy to see he's been slowly getting more recognition. He is seriously one of the best skateboarders right now period. Baffled that he isnt pro for somebody. It's been annoying that quasi hasnt fully put him on, but also i kind of get it because he isn't necessarily part of the regular crew so he might need to find a home somewhere else to get a pro board. He really really deserves it

Funnily enough I think he was getting flowed from girl when he was a kid, might've just been a shop flow thing though.

Love that he's getting some shine. He's killed it for so long.

Anyone have a link to that ideal humans video he was in? I think it used to be on vimeo but i can't find it anymore.

And yet how many have been picked up by other companies?  Other than Keegan who seems to be skating Quasi boards again after being kicked off Welcome, none of these guys have actually landed anywhere else. Makes you think there's probably more to it than 'skateboard ability'.  Easy for us to say x should be on x, x is blowing it by not putting on x on a messageboard.

I get what you're saying but it'd be different if we weren't talking about a brand that's only put on 2 am's in their 6+ years of operation.

Rizzo and Wilson turned pro so long ago I forgot about them. So anyway, 4.

Point being they haven’t added anyone for 2 years and there’s more than enough talent that deserves the bump from flow.
