The actual skating is the one thing which I find acceptable about Berra. His 90's parts are really good, and everything he filmed afterwards isn't bad either. Too bad he is such an idiot.

@foureyedjim, are his tic tacs really that bad? They're far from obvious, and if the footage was filmed post surgery then he could be forgiven for not being super comfortable on his board. Just saying.

come on, you can hate on berra all day, but you just have to admit that this is a solid part. nothing wrong with the pushing either.

now back to berrics hating. did you know chase sodomized a kid with a screwdriver?

you think a part full of fake/repetitive street spots and tic tacking after every roll away is solid?

I loved Skate More and honestly Berra's part was one of my favorite's growing up. I do agree it hasn't aged very well, but I loved that he skated to The Faint/ They played a show here in Minneapolis and it was incredible. Always liked the front board to fakie on the bump to bar, I thought that was mad stylish....

i've seen faker berra parts ;)

there are some tricks in this part that i totally forgot and i would not have expected him to be capable of, for example the sw bs 180 5-0 revert. and all the stuff has been clean. and honestly there hasnt been that much tick tacking.

Steve Berra brought to you by Allstate, a failed acting career and Xenu.

Has their been any depreciation threads on here? Berra is a fucking clown. I laughed my ass of when he was running from his attempt at an acting career in his his intro in the end. He did have a good backside flip somewhere in there but that fucking video blew my mind. Rick, Andrew, Heath, Lenoce, Klein. I was too ignorant at the time to appreciate the vert section.

OMG what do you mean failed acting career? That movie where he got hit by a bus was lush as fukkk!

EDIT: I just read that thread battle and it's funny. I was wondering, though, do you think when Steve called your pal a "little girl" it was supposed to be a compliment because he has a little girl and loves her so?

Berra skates like a scientologist, or how I would imagine one would skate.

That part is semi respectable but the style is awful. Still, I got to give it to anyone who can bs flip something as big as this ender:
