Worrest, Bennett, Tim-Tim, and Silas have rad parts! That fucking nyjah is insane
-
Nyjah's front blunt, DAMN
-
Nyjah wow
-
Not available on mobile?! FUCK OFF! Not my fault I can't afford/don't need a desktop.
Somebody throw this shit on YouTube or vimeo or something.
-
Bitch what you will about Habitat's 'new direction' or whatever, but I'm yet to tire of Silas skating rugged spots edited to Woods. That b/s noseblunt just about killed me.
-
i love all of them but i really love bobby worrest
-
All the parts were sick in their own way but a stand out thing tome was how fucked shit jaws was skating. Man he must really hate his knees.
-
joey pepper seriously has the best style.
-

Yea man all I can think is his knees when I see him skating.
There was a whole lotta good skating in the clips.
Matt Bennett really did it this time. This was maybe the best shit I've seen from him?!
-
Jaws' Section was fucked, I swear his legs are invincible
-
watched pepper gall and worrest. voted. going to skate.
-
JAWS :o something wrong with that kid...
-
i love all of them but i really love bobby worrest
JAWS :o something wrong with that kid...
-
Some good tranny rippers in the contest, but zero tranny footy? Bummer. At least jaws found and ollied the leap of faith 2 in the middle of his part.
-
i can't believe that 5-0 from nyjah, that rail looked like it wouldn't end the way they filmed it.
-
Damn, Jaws.
-
watched pepper gall and worrest. voted. going to skate.
You're so east coast...
-
My favorites were Tim Tim's and Bobby's parts. I honestly don't see how Nyjah couldn't win though, I couldn't even be bummed if he did...fuck that was gnarly.
It was annoying how all the vx footage got cropped in 16:9. Bobby's stuff was really good I hope that gets re edited and released without the stupid crop.

Daryl Angel's 5050 and switch over the top 5-0 was sick
-
Poor Nick Merlino....put out a super gnarly part just to go out in the 1st round.
-
Nyjah will for sure win...Jaws will be a close second...I liked Daryl and Cory's parts alot...
-
everything about the line with the front shuv freddy did
-
What stood out the most to me was the song in Bobby's part, anyone here know who it's by?
and jaws too

They aren't NBDs but they should be, his part was almost unbearable to watch. I mean I don't want to hate on the dude's style too hard because he can't help that but his trick selection, famous shirts, hats and bright red shoes...

haha, I can agree with most of that, but always enjoy seeing a trick I've never seen before.
-
Nyjahs 5-0 down that 21 was first go. Gnarly. He just cant stop dude. And jaws holy shit what cant that dude jump down. Matt Bennett killed it too suck they put him against worrest i really liked both.
-
this would be quite a great video if they put these parts all together!
-
I'd be very pleased if Fred Gall got a 50 grand check from Walt Disney thanks to solid voting.
-
So much good shit. Definately would love to see these back to back without the fuckin ads inbetween. Silas, Pepper, Angel and Worrest where my faves but Jaws and Nyjah absolutely fucked it up.
-
all of nyjahs tricks could be someone elses ender! :o worrest positively surprised me, manny negatively surprised me. heelflip fs everything. yuck!
-
went with:
Bobby over Matt B
Fred over Jaws
Bingaman over Murphy
Corey over Manny
Collin over Joey (hardest decision)
Silas over Tim-Tim
Nyjah over Merlino
Daryl over Haslam
-
Matt B's back to back bennett grind line was rad
-
chad tim tim is so fucking butters. i hate that fucking word, but he is. he should win. and cory kennedy didn't do shit, so I voted manny.
-
went with:
Bobby over Matt B
Fred over Jaws
Bingaman over Murphy

Same, except I gave it to Joey. He's a Lowkey favorite.
-
damn its like nyjah really needs the doe with those hammers, they should let jaws should win before he kills himself tho
-
Not one of Jaws' tricks looked fun, well pole jam 360 maybe. Fuck all the rest of that, gnarley meter to 11.
Taylors last trick was nice, half cab bs overcrook.
Heelflip front smith, will never look appealing.
Fred's part had both beer and vandalism.
TIM Tim surprises me every time.
Don't remember a single trick from Merlino.
Nyjah, it's a 9/16" wrench. Turn it counter clockwise. Take it easy. We get it.
-
damn watching manny's part just gave my laptop b.s.o.d, maybe its trying to tell me something

To you or me maybe. Look at the smile on his face every time when he rolls away. Looks like he's having a blast.

kevin barnett delivered on the edits. each one was rad and even cooler that josh harmony did the music for each one.
side note, cory kennedy's backside hurricane on the picnic table looked fucking fun

HA, was hyped when I saw that. Watson will be stoked i'm sure.
Joey Pepper, Chad Tim Tim, Bobby and Matt B. were my favourites. And once again, FUCK the music Habitat uses for their edits, it's the most bland hipster garbage.
-
nyjah is a fucking monster. he can only suffer from sheckler syndrom for so long...even the most outspoken haters gon learn to like em eventually. dudes even younger than ME and is more talented than 95% of the industry. i seriously cant even comprehend how good hes gonna be by the time he's 25
-
i can't believe that 5-0 from nyjah, that rail looked like it wouldn't end the way they filmed it.
Im pretty sure he did that second try. He 50-50'd it then did a 5-0 right after. that day he attempted two tricks and landed both first try.
-
Silas wearing his new shoe in his part, I believe.
Tim Tim sexy, sexy style. dope lines.
Jaw just keeps going bigger. Gnarly.
Provost ollie (180? I forget) up the grass hill gap was nuts.
Nyjah should stop wearing red underwear. No man should. But maybe that blunt justifies it. damn
Merlino with the mongo push and camera beam. shame.
-
god it would make me so happy to see tim tim win and get that money, but i know it wont happen cuz nyjah or cory are gonna win. not that their parts weren't sick though. nyjah's on another level
-
Damn, I feel bad for Jaws for having to go against Gall.
-
Always good to see Fred Gall footy. Enjoyed Manny Santiago, Bobby Worrest, Dan Murphy , Silas Baxter Neal, and Daryl Angel
I must add Joey Pepper is indeed one of the most enjoyable skaters to watch.

it was hard to chose provost & tim tim over joey pepper & silas
-
Holy shit Nyjah is just crushing everything in his path. I don't know how likely it is anybody but him will win, he just murdered it. Obviously, vote Gall through every fucking round people.
-
i wish matt bennett would fuckoff already dudes has one of the worst style
if you voted colin over pepper you should quit skateboarding

Worrest
Jaws
Bingaman

-
only watched a few so far, but jaws is an absolute fucking lunatic. i had to watch that front 180 like six times. don't care what anybody says, merlino is incredible, that switch flip was insane, but haven't like 4 dudes already nollie flipped over that rail? and nyjah melted my face off my face.
-
people are seriously voting fred gall over jaws? i could understand if you were gonna be biased and vote for him against some whatever ass dude, but jaws really killed it.
-
Tim Tim's part was so fucking nice. Wow. I've been sleeping.
There's something about Manny's weird, knock-kneed style that I can't get enough of.
Joey Pepper's style!
Lots of good shit in these!
-
Fred gall is more "real street" than anyone else in this contest no question. Joey pepper is the shit, and had my favorite section id say.
-
yea i didnt expect joey pepper to actually have the best part, crazy. i hope he at least gets some money out of this. does anyone know how the money is split up(if at all)? otherwise i dont get why guys like daryl angel would even bother putting in their best footage.
-
^i'm pretty sure the top 3 get money, and i think the judges vote for one too or some shit. i'm pretty sure four dudes total get money somehow.

-
That was the only rail I've ever skated at 1:00 on Daryl's part. Valley Fair mall haha
-
i cant believe how much i enjoyed every single one of those
pretty fucking much, and i can't believe no one mentioned tailslide to fakie 5050 at 3rd & Army. I've always imagined someone doing a trick on the ledge to the pipe there.
-
Loved almost all of those parts, especially Tim Tim, Jaws and Pepper, but I don't get the hate towards Manny, I hate Famous, and I?m not too much into his shoe selection but I loved his tricks. I?m a heelflip kind of guy so it can explains why I appreciated his part?
Also, I never understood the hype with Daryl Angel, he is really good, but I can?t see anything ? special ? with him especially if you compare him with the rest of the Habitat team.
-
Jaws flipped melon El Toro!
Dafuq?
-
I wanna see Gall get that dough.
-
So we have a choice between little box and full screen? Also, what the other guy said GD crop.
-
damn Nyjah.... da fuck?????? :o
-
But god damn that shit was nuts! I have truly been blessed by the both the old gods and the new this morning. Yesterday it was Pops photoshop thread and now I find this.
-

This!

say what you will of nyjah, but it would be a shame to let that merlino's sw flip go to waste.

Love watching manny skate, I'm a big fan of his Everywhere We Go and 9-10-11 parts, guy can front shuv/varial heel into anything! Seems like a real sound dude also.
Thoroughly enjoyed watching all those parts, Jaws and Nyjahs parts were standouts tho, that 5-0 on that never-ending twenty-something hand rail was seriously fucked. :o

VOTE FOR BOBBY (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ara_IiLV8LI#ws)
There's is the Rory Sheridan campaign ad for Mr. Worrest. Fucking great.
Bobby should automatically win for skating a car mid-line. Although, he didn't skate pulaski at all, so maybe that's an automatic DQ... He could of filmed 5 lines there in the time it took to make that campaign ad...but alas, there were babies to be kissed for photo ops.
P.S. ... To the guy who said Bennett should go away because he has a bad style: "YOU'RE A FUCKING BLOWHARD"
-
nyjah is too fucking good. the edit helped a lot.
tim tim just keeps getting better with age.
matt b's ender was crazy.
-
I like Silas but damn TimTim had a good part.
Bingaman got my vote
Jesus, Jaws. You obviously don't plan on skating into your 30's.
-
I'm so pissed that Jaws is against Freddy, because Jaws deserves it for his skating and Freddy for being Fred Gall.
Everyone's parts were sick. Really liked all the tum yeto dudes parts.
-
I don't get how people can say 'how the fuck did you vote for silas!' or 'how the fuck did you vote for provost.'
I'm not saying Tim Tim and Pepper didn't have the better parts in this case, but it's definitely a tough call to me. In fact, they pretty much put all my favorite dudes in this contest against each other (the aforementioned guys, plus Bobby and Bennett).
Which is why I just said fuck the whole voting thing. Not knocking it, as contests go I guess it's pretty fun but I'd rather just sit back and watch all the parts again as if this was one really, really heavy Best of 411 type video (with Freddy bringing the comic relief).
-
You can Vote everyday. So Vote for Pepper everyday.
-
Holy shit that Bobby Worrest campaign ad is awesome.
-
Bitch what you will about Habitat's 'new direction' or whatever, but I'm yet to tire of Silas skating rugged spots edited to Woods. That b/s noseblunt just about killed me.
Love Silas to death but his ender ABD by Japanese killer from Okinawa Wataru Ganeko:

But holy shit his part was bananas, also JOEY FUCKING PEPPER destroyed it.
-
Jaws already won. Sorry guys.
-
Murphy and Bennett were so tight!
-
After watching them all, I can only conclude that we all lose as long as Sal Masekla continues to be involved with skateboarding in any capacity.
-
Funny that Josh Harmony did 2/3 of the music for all of these. Don't really care about the dude, but feel bad about anyone going up against Nyjah.
-
Its been said a million times, but here it is again....
Jaws is fucking nuts!

For the love of god someone please put all of these up as one montage on vimeo or some other mobile friendly site.

b) I'm from another dimension where we have the values of a 1960's TV show and Matt Bennett is out Jesus.
c) I'm 12, I wear a helmet street skating cuz mom says I has to. I'm a (very) loyal pawn.
d) Other.
-
i really liked every single clip. tim tim over silas was a hard one, silas is one of my favs but tim tim's footage was too proper.
jaws holy shit. nyjah what the fuck.
honorable mention for merlino, dude gets a lot of hate but that was some pretty raw shit.
-
Another win for Nyjah is in the bag bros.
-
someone tell jaws to skate transition only! this meat hucking with basic tricks and hands ALWAYS scraping the ground is getting old. I mean, sure you can ollie the biggest shit, but then merlino throws down a sw flip down a set you heelfliped and gets no love... something ain't right

I really hope Jaws wins. I don't know how anyone can vote for Fred Gall over Jaws. I wish more people were voting for Merlino. As gnarly as Nyjah's part was, he's the last dude who needs the money or to win another contest. Merlino's switch flip down the 16 was fucked.

also
Provost's up the grass hill 180 was siiiiick

i wish more than one could win, but im goin with matt b. he has the most unique trick selection and style. he could probably use the dough too.
also does anybody know the song they used for bobby's part?

They screwed Murphy over with his edit. How can the same guy edit 3 other sick clips and give him the most boring one. That must have took him five minutes to edit that. After watching him land tricks around NC and then seeing footage of what my friends have filmed of him, that edit did him no justice. He is sitting on a stack of footage right now that I'm sure everybody would rather see than this real street part.

Coming back here daily to vote for Pepper. Suggest everyone else does the same.

nah murphy himself has been boring since that part he came out with right after he left mystery. it's a bummer cause he was one of my favorites when he was on mystery but now he's whatever. look at how sleepy his foundation part was -- it's definitely him, not the editor. switch fs flip was amazing though.

It's called reality. I doubt a majority of the espn demographic will appreciate the likes of pepper or gall. Not saying Jaws or Nyjah aren't good, but their skating is way easier to understand the difficulty of for casual viewers

Everybody should vote Haslam, he killed it in voting in the first round. A voting campaign for him might knock Nyjah out, though Nyjah does probably deserve it for making such an insane part. But Haslam's last trick . . . best board grind thing ever.

hahaha that's cause jaws and nyjah were doing harder tricks. please tell me you aren't really claiming that being a heavy skate video viewer made you see gall's tricks as worthy of beating jaws? absolutely nobody sat down and watched both videos and voted objectively for gall.
-
I don't hate Nyjah but I really don't want to see him win another contest.
-
Even if no one knew who any of these dudes were, pepper still had the best footage. Gall's hope was on his name and antics but joey pepper deserves to be rich from skating.

In terms of difficulty, no. I guess I shouldn't be thinking like this considering this IS the xgames (a competition), but when did we ever judge skate parts objectively? I don't see what makes this competition that much different from regular xgames if we're going to end up judging it the same way. Obviously I would think that Jaws and Nyjah should win regular xgames comps over Gall or Pepper (assuming they do harder tricks), but this isn't the same shit.
-
Joey's part was my favorite with Bobby being a close second. And Bobby will definitely have the most fun with all that money, I hope he wins. I'm sure Trapasso had a lot of fun too.

How can I keep voting for Fred and Joey? Those were by far the best parts, if only by a "skatboarders" terms and not ESPN. Bobbys part also fucking ruled, so I guess a vote for him is a vote for those dudes, and skateboarding.
PS. Im wasted.

In terms of difficulty, no. I guess I shouldn't be thinking like this considering this IS the xgames (a competition), but when did we ever judge skate parts objectively? I don't see what makes this competition that much different from regular xgames if we're going to end up judging it the same way. Obviously I would think that Jaws and Nyjah should win regular xgames comps over Gall or Pepper (assuming they do harder tricks), but this isn't the same shit.
that's funny because that's actually exactly what i did. i enjoy watching the skating of everyone who is in the contest (besides gall), so i voted objectively to reach a decision. nyjah is the exception since he doesn't need to win. but i hear they're both pieces of shit so i voted for nyjah anyway. i guess that's just me, whatever. and i intentionally didn't bring up pepper because i definitely believe you could vote objectively and pick him.

people that still hate nyjah huston are fucking dumb.

People voted for Gall because they liked his part. Not "objectively" because the tricks don't always have to be hard for us to enjoy a skate part. Nyjah can win all the skate comps if he wants, but if I don't like his skate part, I don't have to vote for it. Isn't that what this "real street" shit is about?
By the way, I have zero qualms about you not liking Gall, just don't expect everyone to enjoy skate parts only when they're pushing the envelope. Some of us like skate parts "just because," and I think that's okay in skateboarding, no?

i voted for the people that deserved to win, not just who i liked. my bad.

Round 2 is up Fred Gall lost by a large margin :( :( :( :( :(
WHAT THE FUCK, SLAP?? I THOUGHT WE WERE DOING THIS.
Are you really all that surprised?
I thought Fred's part was impressive, but his competition's footage was jaws dropping.

Can't believe Haslam is beating Nyjah right now. Looks like all of the vote Bobby stuff is working too because he is crushing Jaws at the moment.

i really don't give a fuck who anyone votes for. BUT i was seeing shit like "vote for fred gall, save street skateboarding" and other bullshit like that when the dude did not deserve to win it with the footage he put forth. his origins part was definitely better than that, so it's not like he was really putting in his best effort. jaws on the other hand pretty much risked his future in skating with most of those tricks, and whether you like that type of skating or not, you gotta appreciate someone going all in like that.
yes it's real street, but it's still a fucking competition. so if you're gonna vote for fred gall cause you enjoy his skating more, do it. but don't promote it like it's the right choice to make. if this was just a "skateboarding's favorite skater" award, they wouldn't have included unused footage. i don't remember if you were necessarily one of the ones promoting gall like that, and again, i don't really care that people voted for him, i'm just saying don't try to pass it off like it was the logical decision to make.

Whoa, bro. That thread was obviously tongue in cheek. You really take this Real Street business seriouisly.

haha save that argument for the people being surprised/upset that fred gall didn't make it through. i haven't been back to the site since i voted the first round, i can't be bothered with that shitty flash website. funny cause the people being suprised/upset at him not making it are also the reason why i don't believe that thread was tongue in cheek.

I'm just psyched that Nyjah's trailing. His footage was fucked, but I'd rather see the money go towards someone who's not already rich.

what the fuck.... bobby lost and so did tim tim, im glad haslam beat nyjah though

Did anyone else notice that - between the first and second rounds - the point spread between votes on particular skaters had decreased?
In the first round the spread averaged to 24.5 points, in the second it averaged to only 10.5. I'm guessing it's because the same number of people are voting for a decreasing number of contestants.

The only 3 people who deserved to win were Nyjah, Tim Tim and Bobby and they aren't even in the final 4....this is fucking regular.

Jaws doesn't deserve to win? I'm pretty sure he put in the most work out of everyone else besides maybe Nyjah. He just put out his A Happy Medium 2 part last year and pretty much has been filming for Real Street since then. Most of these just used old footage which is fine. It's just that Jaws went all out specifically for this part. Also, I'm not sure if everyone realizes this or not but there could be 2 winners. There's the people's choice which is what everyone is voting for everyday and then there's the Real Street contest which is judged by actual judges. So, someone may win the Real Street contest and the Fan Favorite and walk away with $100,000.

No.
He doesn't deserve to win because he's not enjoyable to watch skate, maybe some of his tranny stuff like that bs noseblunt in his happy medium 2 part. I think him and his style is way overrated, it doesn't get me psyched at all. In hm2 he shouldn't have had last part(hawkins part was way better) and he should win real street but this is 2012 and there's so many people like you in skateboarding now that he probably will. He seems like a nice enough dude and I'm psyched he does his thing but I don't think it represents street skating. Out of the 4 left provost is the only one who is a decent representation of good street skating. Ideally Tim Tim or Bobby should've won, or Nyjah because his footage was so gnarly.
-
I don't get how you're on tim tim's nuts so much but never mention joey pepper?he is still progressing, probably gets paid a hell of a lot less, skates great looking spots and has a unique style. Hope the judges give him the money.

oh shit, i guess i was incorrect in enjoying his footage. hahaha it's crazy to think that people like you exist. i hate watching fred gall skate and i'll hate on him whenever i feel it's appropriate, but i'd never say some shit like "he is not enjoyable to watch" as evidence as to why he doesn't deserve to win.

You sound like a moron. I'm sure the majority of people enjoyed Jaw's video. Just because you didn't doesn't mean that he doesn't deserve to win. Sure some people may have had better style but their footage was no way up to par as Jaws' was with the exception of Nyjah and possibly a few others. I don't think that you understand that this is a contest. If some rad skater enters a contest and fucks up his run, does he win for just being a cool dude? Nope, the skater with the best skating wins. Jaws pushed his limits and truly put a lot of work into his video part which you can tell just by watching it. A lot of these dudes deserve to win so you saying one of dudes with the gnarliest footage doesn't deserve to win just makes you sound stubborn.
