Does this also apply to Lavar's Trilogy part? In general, I agree, but there are exceptions.
-
Wut? Lavar in Trilogy already had a grown up style, and he was a couple of years older. Not comparable at all. Kader is still in the kid camp.
-
kader's little kid style really only comes out when he slams/bails. ..Most of his tricks looks full grown to me.
-
^ I was gonna say Lavar rode a small board, Kader looks like he's on a sheet of plywood
-

Lavar was younger than Kader in Trilogy I'm pretty sure. I think he was 13 or 14. Kader is currently 15. He also kills 20 shot where he's even younger.
Lavar absolutely had grown up style though.
-
Really hated that weird editing on the front shove.his Instagram stuff usually leaves me impressed, I feel like this was a last ditch effort to use some of his final footage in Emerica's
-
Kader is the antithesis of the 7.75 flatground flip n ledge skater
He skates bigger than himself, and he throws himself into every trick. No stepping off or kicking it out. rippin and slammin
-

This is what I was thinking, too. Still a few Vans clips, though.
They're trying to build that hype.
-
we're the same age as lavar so he wasn't so much 'little' as relatable and we grew w/ him. actually, he fell the hell of but we kept growing and that part does look grown up. nothing baby guy mariano about him and his kung fu was intimidating when it came out.

He was 14 in 20 Shot... maybe you're thinking of that?

I've always thought he was 14 or so for the filming of Trilogy. I can't find his exact age anywhere there. I thought he got fully on Blind at 12.
-
This is from the Jan 1994 issue of Thrasher. Magazines used to come out a few months in advance, so he was 13 in 93, and Trilogy came out in the second half of 96, iirc. Anyways, he has a little kid style in 20 Shot for sure.

Good find, that probably means most of the Trilogy footage was filmed at 15 and 16. My guess would be most came from when he was around Kader's current age who is 15.
Anyway, there are always rare exceptions of people filming amazing parts at that age. Mike-Mo didn't have little kid style in Forecast and I'm pretty sure he was 14/15 filming for that. Also Fred Gall in Sub-Zero-Real Life.
-
Kader is obviously still developing - & rapidly - but I'd say he's already lost the "little kid style". could use a bit more quality control footy wise, but the boss definitely ain't lost his eye for talent.
That back 50 to fast back 3 stuck out - that looked difficult as hell.

good point on the quality control footy wise, why the fuck was there a dumb ass boneless in there
-
I don't really like watching kids skate either, but I like Kader. I fear though that he'll never fully grow into an adult body sort of like Spanky and that's a bummer because even more than not liking little kids skating, I really don't like watching short people skating.
I was super hyped when I thought he was wearing a Swans shirt but upon closer inspection it's a Baker knock off with TK's diamond grill instead, which may be the most incongruent knock off ever.
-
Kader will be amazing sometime in the near future when puberty hits. He clearly has the skills, but one look at those flatground 360 flips and its clear he isn't ready yet. There are 15 year olds who are still little kids, and there are 15 year old who are grown men... it's not his fault.
Nothing we can do but wait for those testicles to drop and some leg strength to develop. In the meanwhile he should keep most of the clips on instagram.
Kader in the year 2020 will be amazing.
-
That was ok. He's put out better stuff than that.
-
What everyone else said. Kid rips, he will be a beast when he’s grown up, and this footy is probably throwaway while saving the real heat for Baker 4
-
I kept waiting for T Funk to grow up, and even though he never did and never will I still like watching him skate.
-
The only thing that was "little kid style" in this part was the filming. They butchered a couple of those clips.
-
if you don't like Kader, kill yourself
-
Surprised anyone could be this bad at filming
Half impossible was pretty interesting, though i'd rather not see it again
-
if you don't like Kader, kill yourself
he'd be a good fit on alien
-
Footy dump, can't expect the best from it but I still enjoyed it. There was some gems in there.
So stoked for baker4, shit!

Yeah wtf is that trick! I've been seeing it everywhere all the sudden. It's like a brand new trick but seems to suddenly be a part of everyones bag of flatground fuckery. Is there footage of anyone doing this trick before 2010?
Off the set was tight

I liked watching Kader skate. I bet he's holding on to some really good clips for baker 4 and will only get better from here.
-
I was holding out for Chocolate to make a Raven Tershy board with his face photoshopped onto Raven-Symoné's character Raven in That's So Raven. Unfortunately, even under Hershel Baltrotsky's art direction, it never panned out. Dreams get crushed.
But now, my anticipation is starting to rebuild for a future Darth Kader debut pro model. Baker, please - the moments when everything points in the right direction and the only answer is yes are few and far between, but this is one of those moments.

he's destined to be one of the greats
-
Half the shots in this were butchered
-
As previously stated, shoutout to the half-impossible.
-
He is good, but the park footy killed the vibe in this edit. Especially the repetitive quarter tricks.
-
im 26 and he has a better flat ground 360 flip than me!
-
I think the fisheye works against his favor, making his board look huge and his body look tiny.
-
why is he wearing a Bayer shirt?
-
he is sponsored by Bayer. he's the testimonial
of a new growth suppression drug, and as you
can see the medicament totally works without
any side effects. pharma corps are taking over.
-

That's a Baker shirt and it's brilliant. I'm definitely gonna try to get one of those myself even though I don't need t-shirts for years to come. :D

I'm 6' tall, wear a 10.5, and landing kickflips on a 9-inch Creature board I rode once is still one of my greatest accomplishments.
Good for this little dude.

Love Kader, but a lot of the clips were ruined by some pretty atrocious filming.
Uncharacteristic of me to complain about, but yes it was that bad.

Mouse part? Clips in virtual reality?

His Mouse part is alien. -Even right now. Higher level.

I'm genuinely confused by all the Vader hype. He seems like a cool kid. Reynolgs rates him. But, from a raw talent perspective, there are dozens of young hungry kids that can outskate him.
Why is he put on such a high pedestal?

andrew reynolds has white savior complex and he's saving the ghetto one skater at a time. except antwuan, he was willis. reynolds is philip drummond, stella is kimberly and kader is arnold. or dudley, he kinda looks more like dudley.

yeah I know looked like he had a hell of a time trying to get that heel flip all the way around and he can forget about catching it with how small he is
-
Board seems to big for him, that's where the sluggish kid style comes from; it's like watching late 80s/early 90s street footy...like watching barbee kickflip in ban this.

It's 2018 and people still can't grasp the concept that skill is not everything in skateboarding. There's a reason why people aren't hyped on the Blind skate team (and it isn't their lack of skill).

his random footage is way better than that was. kinda of a bummer but i like him.
the definition of not-having-little-kid-style-while-being-a-little-kid is Bastien. he was filming for sorry at 13.

baker picks some shit riders these days lol

This is a huge step up from Baker's Knox Godoy days...everything is relative my friend.

Gonz wasn't 5 feet tall.
The big board doesn't do any style favors for smaller skaters. I was a big board holdout way into the mid 90s but now I think it looks kind of gross (although it can fit some peoples' style).

I think a big part of it has to do with his form. Reynolds seems big into that- he doesn’t care if the kid can do the newest hottest tricks as much as he cares that he has a proper flick and stuff like that. While Kader isn’t the gnarliest or techest kid out, he flicks his tricks properly and seems to have the kind of understanding of his board that could lead to great things once he fully grows into his skating.
I can’t confirm that as true, but that’s how I perceive the situation

I was tripping on his set up in that Thrasher interview. The 60mm wheels were the part that did it honestly. Even people that used to skate those regularly don't run wheels that big all the time anymore.

He's still got a bit of little kid style but I think it's sick because you can tell how he powers through all of his tricks. He skates nearly twice his size.

I want more kaders and less compulsorary hammer guys. He's really good I think. Well rounded.
-
Gipper's spot on, I think. Kader has impeccable technique for his age and a certain intuition for approaching his board. it's rad and in a few years, he'll pull a Louie and grow up on us
-
Kader is really making me want some half cabs

chris roberts broke down his 'half impossible' in slow mo and it's a strange looking pop shove it. it wraps like an impossible and goes mid air primo but the board does a 180 and just gets over corrected. maybe it was a lazy casper but i think, legally it's a pop shove it.
reminds me of that penny bs 5-0 tailslide shove it that looks like a mirage.

I think this might be the appropriate name for this newly discovered maneuver.
The pop shove its obscure cousin who left the family years ago to live in isolation in Nevada is finally rediscovered and welcomed back into skate trick acceptance among a dysfunctional family.

Still don't get the hype. Most of the guys I grew up skating with could of done these tricks. How old is he?

Yeah, I'm only here because of the 9 club too.
Well, they got the name of the video correct.
Is this kid good? For sure.
Good enough for a thrasher part? Fuck no.
This feels like baker marketing, and I ain't down with it. I don't need Andrew Reynolds telling me what's good; I have eyes.
