well houston is great for nate broussard, jeremy holmes, anthony correa, and a few others

but you also have todd falcon, wayne patrick, and richie belmont

but most importantly you have GURU

he videos definitely have some entertainment value of the unintended variety. I have seriously lost a few days at work digging through his web-site. It's like the biker fox of the skateboard world.

Check this one out. His wife is the girl that sings in the band.

Stacey Lowerly, Darrell Staton, Erik Ostos, Chaz Pineda and Trace Saylor too. I think David Langston will make a name for himself before long too.

that would be the sickest thing ever, a movie that's exactly like 2001 A Space Odyssey except they skate everywhere.  like the monolith would appear after one of the monkeys lands a 1080.  and they'd skate all over the ship and stuff.  and the scene were the dude goes on the trippy voyage across the universe, there'd be aliens and other creatures skating in the vallies, and planets, and multicolor hallucinogenic warp zones.  woah... and the end, i don't even know what it really means, but i'd make it so some dude (from the future) is trying a gnarly trick and the movie ends when he lands wrong and his board focuses.

OMG This guy is totally having fun.  That is what sk8ing is all about. If you don't agree with me you are a jock. LOL

THIS IS FUCKING regular.  I respect individuality in both skating and life. However, if you want to do totally irrelevant, homo pagentry on your skateboard, don't expect me to give you props.  The fact that what he is doing is really hard doesn't cancel out the sheer stupidity of it.

It's time to learn and perfect the falcon stall.
Title: Re: when dorks learn to skate
Post by: manualboybiatch on August 26, 2006, 01:11:18 PM
this guy is a riot, he sucks for the same reason 90% of unsponsored youtube skateboarders do: NO STYLE AT ALL.  Not only do his clothes look like he stole them from a pile of clothes goodwill wouldnt sell but he has the most stiff and awkward looking style ever.  Add to that most of his tricks are pure luck and over half could be done by someone that cant even do an ollie.  I'm all for originality and in fact i cant stand stairs and handrails because its soooo overdone, but if your going to do a somewhat easy trick, no matter how creative it is, you could at least learn how to have some style and not look like your stone cold serious while you do it (unless that is the joke but im 99% sure this guy is totally serious).  All i have to say is: cheese and crackers.  Daewon and Chris Halsam do tons of not-super-duper-hard tricks but they do them with some kind of style and also with an obvious joking tone.  How can you call axle stall to primo back to axle stall your own trick? its not hard in any way shape or form!  The fact that Target and Amazon carry his videos is absolutely bewildering. 

for the record though, that last trick where he lands with 1 foot is the funniest thing i think ive ever seen in skateboarding.  I thought for sure he was going to rhino stick (since he has a disgustingly rhino style) it with 2 feet and then, SURPRISE!, a 1 footed plant of super poser proportions.

Todd Falcon, if you read this post, for the love of christ could you please watch a REAL skate video and find out what style looks like so dont look like such a damn person in the future.

Post by: Blackacre on August 26, 2006, 06:36:43 PM
That was fucking hilarious. The primo axle stall shit is too much with the dead serious look on his face.  The prima ballarina camera beam for the ender was definitely the best though.  I have no idea how some of you can take this guy seriously enough to be critical of his skating; he is clearly in his own world.

Post by: manualboybiatch on August 26, 2006, 07:02:45 PM
I'll be completely honest, if i saw gonz or someone do some of these tricks i would be stoked, but gonz would do them jokingly (as gonz is a comedian on a skateboard) and with style so they would actually be kinda cool.  With this dude its like a rejected football player doing ballet and its just gross.
