Title: Nick Boserio appreciation <3
Post by: funeral_tuxedo on April 25, 2021, 11:09:36 AM
I've always appreciated Nick Boserio's skating but recently I rewatched several of his parts and tried to figure out why he stands out to me so much besides just his talent. Maybe it's that his skating looks gnarly and stylish but also very fun and the imperfections give off an improvisational energy?
Anyways, any other Brass fans?

I'm a fan. Speed, power, style, trick selection, and spot selection put him among my favorites. Fat bump to bars, gap to rails, and rails.

Nick is a real skater. I love seeing any of his footage.

100%! His parts are always so good. That Life Splicing was the first time I saw him skate. So much raw energy and power. On edge all the time.

Gotta go back to early brass. Some may not know he used to have no beard with long hair and skate super clean (altho footage from this time seems to be hard to find)

Came across Boserio pushing through my neighborhood with his dog a few years back when he still lived in Portland. Beautiful site, mate. Beautiful.

Typically, I like to shout some sarcasm at Polar pros when I pass them but I was too in awe to say anything.

Nick obviously has insane style and his parts are amazing, he could skate anything and make it interesting. Nicks sponsors are perfect too, they definitely fit him and portray him right.

But Nick is such a cool guy too, I've had some good convos with him randomly over ig before. Literally just replying to his story and he hit me back and we just went back and forth.

Nick is so cool

Seconded.   Always appreciate when they answer back to gear questions.   Silas was good like that too

Sick he's still got his channel 7 hat from when he commentated the Olympics even tho the channel 7 coverage was awful and they barely even aired his stuff. He also nearly broke a multi million dollar tv which was kinda funny

I think he is rad too. I kind of discovered him late (the newest Polar video) but I watch his part alot.

Seems like such a rad dude, on and off the board!
Anyone knows what his setup looks like?

I always liked this dude, but never realized he had mountains of content!

I like when people skate like they're tackling the terrain; the specific trick is less important than getting through/over/past the obstacle. GX has a similar kinda vibe. GX with OJ Super Juices.

I got some shit to watch to get stoked now.

Hell yeah, happy to see this post. He's def been one of my top fav dudes who get me instantly hyped to skate in the last year or so. Pure raw power and fearlessness in his skating. Probably also had something to do with my big wheel kick I was on for awhile but now I prefer 52-54mm.

what oj wheels are those?

He skates those 95a-97a 60mm OJ combos but posted in his story awhile back about how he loves when they wear down to around the 56mm mark and the shape they morph into. He had a buddy with some sort of machine shop take brand new wheels and machined them down to the same size and shape of his super worn-in wheels, it was cool to see.

There's not one really worth singling out but he might be one of the best consistent heelflippers out. Like not saying he has one of the top single heelflips but every part has great heelflips in it.

Had the chance to skate/chat with Nick when he was on tour with Zero as an am.  He was a standup dude and super funny in person.  It is always sick to meet an am/pro in person and find out they are normal people that can hold a conversation and don't feel as though they are above you due to their sponsorship.
