some pretty gnarly tricks, cab back noseblunt down clipper :o
-
God dammit nyjah!
Wimer or Dilo for me though!
-
wimer and nyjah are the contenders imo, both fucking nuts
-
clives smith was pretty satisfying. looked like big wave surfing.
-
part of me wishes these were longer than just the trick. with like a process or some type of documentation. I could've just watched these on IG. I don't know.
-
I’ve said it before but Robert Neal’s nollie front heels are what dreams are made of and that thing looked even taller than a New York trash can.
-
nyjah is likely going to win, equally fucked and flashy
i like midler's, looked like he was about to jump off it the whole time but stuck it through, shecks 360 was also pretty fucked. dixon coulda easily broke himself on that smith dude has massive balls
wimer should get the W though
-
clive dixons trick is insane. death defying.
but my vote goes to young jah
-
dilo's cute little set up should have him dis qualified
-
Wimer
-
Midlers trick was the most fucked up imo.
-
Do you guys think kickflip bs noseblunt from Ryan Gallant is harder than Nyjah's half cab bs noseblunt to fakie?
-
Wimer for me, that flick is impeccable.
-
Wimer’s trick is only dulled for me bc in the thrasher it was featured in had a kick flip back tail in to which made be bummed out on both Modus-wise
-
I'd like to see Jack O'Grady or Wimer get it, but I think it's gotta be Nigel.
-
no cab noseblunt is harder you cant swing it into it you need to perfectly rotate, but i dont think tricks are always harder as. like i dont think shane oneil can kickflip fs boardslide as good as switch flip fs boardslide. it really depends on the skater
-
Cab noseblunt is going to win for sure. Has that trick ever been done on a street hubba or rail before?
I guess one of these dudes will also be in the running to win SLS best trick.
Also, not to take away from Dilo’s switch heel manny over a picnic table but the straight on angle of the heelflip is missing a frame or two right before he lands in manual. Noticed it casually watching, then when I slowed it down. Could be completely wrong though.
-
The way Jack O'Grady literally popped in between those drops was sick.
There was only one trick Sheckler should have submitted.
Nyjah or Wimer are taking it.
-
Jack O’Grady was honestly the only one I watched more than once.
-

that's like giovanni viannas warm up trick
-
Wimer’s was my favorite but Nyjah’s probably gonna win.
-
Dixon's was tight but dude looked like he was cosplaying Ryan Gosling in Place Beyond the Pines..
-
Personal favorites were Neal and Clive but Nyjahs gonna win it
-
myles just switch back nose blunted a fuckin car
-
dilo's cute little set up should have him dis qualified
the pipe on the ground bummed me out ngl, if it was naturally there would've been sick. ive seen him do the trick over table to switch manny thing before so i was hoping he'd switch it up on the dismount, even if it was just off a lil ledge or curb. he coulda dragged the table anywhere to line up with some naturally occurring obstacle. Still really sick trick through, esp considering he's the only one out really doing those
-

myles just switch back nose blunted a fuckin car
I dunno that one didn't really do it for me, especially compared to what else was in here. Wimer was my favorite, Nyjah will probably win, and I ain't mad at it tbh cause Cab Back Noseblunt on Clipper is fucked.
-
I'd give it to Myles on style alone. Dude is like the second coming of Matt B.
But yeah, Wimer for sure.
-
Some very cool tricks in this. Nigel was fucked, though I think Shane's bigspin back tail is still the hardest trick done down Clipper. Sheck's trick was cool. Good to see Wimer, O'Grady and Dilo getting some shine and money.

I felt that way about Robert Neil. Trying way too hard to be like TJ and watching him do a flat ground trick while everyone else was getting buck seemed to out of place. He's a talented skater, does tricks really proper and looks like he's having a blast skating. I love that about the dude but he has all these dope sponsor's, why does he want to be on Supreme so bad?
-

I like it because it was clear from the sky he did it last week
-

I don't think you could call that a Noseblunt. As sick as it looked, it really did just look like a tweaked nosebonk.
-
Thought there’d be at least one mention of the 13 year old big spin flip fs board shuvit out on a 10 stair. Wasn’t pretty, but it was interesting (like Dilo’s) in a KOTR challenge kind of way
-
it's wimer for me. his flip ins look so good.
nyjah's is sick, but you can't even see the
landing / board in the second angle. Gtfo!
-
Sheckler for sure but I'd like to thank Dilo for coming out
-
I dunno why but it’s hilarious how hard Sheckler pushes rolling away from his trick after getting bungeed in.
-
Breaking: Nyjah DQed for gear infractions.
Give it to Wimer or Clive.
-
Jack O'Grady not getting enough shine for that 50-50.
-
Wimer is our Jon Allie, the flick alone should get him the win.
I'm not concerned about who gets it, but fuck me, as hard as it is, Nigel should have gone to regs.
Somehow it feels a bit cheaper to go fakie, after all the effort it took you to cab into it.
-

Im confused. For some reason I thought Clipper was of existing after Ripper at Clipper

I think that's just where the video ramped up from slo-mo to regular speed. Don't think he cheated and had the tricks stitched together separately to make it look like a combo.
-
those felt...super underwhleming, outside ninejahs.
dilo went borra and built a spot by using that pipe, myles' felt like a trick in a gx video, robert neals felt like an IG clip, wimer did a trick that got one upped a year ago (kickflip nosegrind on that same hubba).
i dunno, go nyjah i guess
-
Clive's wasn't even his best trick of the year.
Wimer's was my favorite, but, sadly, Nyjah's was probably the best trick. Too bad the non-long lens filming missed the landing.
-
Nyjah’s was probably the best but I enjoyed the long 50-50 and the switch Smith more.
It’s weird but I definitely would have liked Sheck’s trick better if he had pushed.
-
can't believe I am going to complement a robert neal trick, but here I am. that was some snap
-

Kickflip back smith is 100% harder. Wimer could kickflip nosegrind it before back smith no problem. You probably can’t tell but the hubba has gotten way chunkier and really grabs on a back smith so he had to push and power through it. I’ve seen dudes get pitched trying to back smith that thing.
-
Pretty sure Nyjah's formula is too just throw a cab into something and call it a day. Basically the new Greg Lutzka fs 360.
-
I don't like the dude but how is no one talking about Midlers multi-kink Barley grind?

i'll agree that it's harder if you put him fully on the team. that feels fair
-
those were all dog shit ugly
-
Just saw on QS someone blunt kickflip out on Clipper too. It’s just getting disrespected lately
-

The fuck you talking about? Every single trick was gnarly. Clive could've easily died if he fucked up on that smith. It's pretty hard picking the best but my favorite trick was Wimer's.
-
I thought clipper got skate stopped? What happened to the rail they put in on it?
-
part of me wishes these were longer than just the trick. with like a process or some type of documentation. I could've just watched these on IG. I don't know.
I think I saw on Sinclair’s ig that it’s going to be an hour-long or 30 min TV airing, so there will probably be some of that type of background/commentary stuff on there

Dope. Thanks for the info.
-
Think they uploaded the wrong Myles Willard clip, ah well.
-
Dilo is a great skater but I just don’t care about that kind of manny combo. It’s never seemed at all stylish to me to pop huge and land in a manny, switch or otherwise, and it feels more gimmicky to me than any other trick in here
Wow, really? I feel the exact opposite way about everything you just said, haha.
Not saying you’re wrong and I’m right. Just funny how subjective this stuff is.

Mota gnarly. Nyjah beast though

Jack O'Grady not getting enough shine for that 50-50.
Straight up. In my dumbass opinion it was the gnarliest clip in this. Imagine having to pop a foot over onto another rail and still having 20 stairs to go. I get why people liked Wimer’s but I could see that being thrown in as filler during one of his parts despite how gnarly it is.

I think it’s kink fatigue. I don’t even know how to react anymore to these insane rails

This plus Jack has done a lot of gnarly 50-50's in such a short career and, dare I say it, it's getting kind of old?
-
I want Jack to win.
Although Nyjah's 270 cab Noseblunt down clipper is absolutely insane, but I'd rather some guy in this contest who isn't already making a fortune and whatever amount they give this year goes directly to their settlement fund.
-
Yeah it's a kinked rail but when have you seen someone do a rail like that? And he popped down to the last stretch of the rail which was sick. Dude's a future soty for sure. I'd be more impressed by Nyjah's trick if I hadn't already seen him do that in a contest.

I totally understand the kink fatigue. This one snapped me out of it though by a long shot.
-
I think the way to decide this is to picture each trick closing out a long awaited full length video. With this logic, I’d have to go with Clive.

Cole Wilson grinded a very similar rail about a year or two ago, but it had round wobbles instead of the angled kinks in it

Jack should have gone through the last little kink.
Nyjahs is really not impressive to me. Feel like I’ve seen him do variations of this on so many things. Honestly feels like he should be flipping into it now if he wants to surprise people.

I love how he's so ahead of everybody else we hold him to a different standard. Even tho he's not everybody's cup of tea, he really pushed skateboarding to a whole new level in terms of skill and consistency.

Big flip fs board is such a dull trick and not trendy anymore, duh...
Dixon, Midler or Nyjah should get the W

It’s weird but I definitely would have liked Sheck’s trick better if he had pushed.
He tried to push but said he couldn’t get the right angle without the bungee.

Kind of a weird concept. Gnarly tricks, but doesnt really do much for me without a part leading up to it. And who wants to throw away a true best trick for some contest that Will Be forgotten instantly.
Clive Nyjah or Wimer should Be The winner. Crazy kinked rails were the most exiting thing for me like 5 years ago, but have gotten completely played out now
-
They've got short BTS eps on all of the tricks up now. Definitely made me appreciate some of them even more. Jack O'Grady and Clive Dixon especially.
Sidenotes that Felipe kid is super smooth, and Sheckle's tats around his neck are very unnerving to look at

There are only 3 of those BTS videos that are over 3 minutes long, Nyjah, Sheckler and Clive. Hopefully the length has more to do with how long the trick took to do rather than having longer edits for the winners. Would be pretty messed up if Sheckler got into the top 3 and not Wimer.
-
Wimer is probably my favorite skater out right now. Skates fast with great style and has one of the best flicks ever. Can't wait for an emerica part. I'll definitely buy his shoe. Hopefully he gets a colorway of the wino g6 slip. I'm currently skating Dakotas leather oxblood colorway and they're my favorite shoes ever.
Only 7 tries :o

Dixon had an actual story to tell of getting a trick at hollywood 12, scrapping it, trying to nose blunt that long curved 24, then going for the smith with its super fucked up landing.
Wimer’s underwhelmed just a bit bc the video pointed out how many people hit that ledge for this contest over the past few years

I totally get it but I thought it was sort of funny Stevie mentioned how much UCI has been skated but didn't say anything about Clipper which has been skated so much more and literally had a contest on it. Cab back noseblunt is fucked though.

That was a smart move. I guarantee it was a fs bigspin lip or pop shuv boardslide. I've been waiting for these to drop cuz Clive said on his insta that he sacked it 1st try. I was wondering how getting sacked would look down a tall 25 stair rail but luckily it wasn't that bad.

I bet that hurt once the adrenaline wore off. Also, that raised concrete cut on the landing is fucked up. Credit for not repairing it or anything like that

Video addresses it kinda. We’ll never get the double kink grind which I could have imagined happening by 2022, but it looks like only a few modifications were needed to make the ledge skateable

I saw Wimer skate in a best trick contest at a DIY park in Richmond...he kickflipped crooked this giant rail in like 4 tries.
The rail was super long and mad sketchy...it was during a Real demo and my jaw just dropped.

I don’t like him but midler’s trick was my favorite. In 2005 if you told me someone would barley grind to regs through 5 kinks I would laugh.

lol at the Chief calling out Nyjah for “falling out of back noseblunt by a half inch”. If this was for a zero video I bet Chief would have made him re film it.
