Got damn our mans is still throwing down. Full lock in down clipper too! I’m sure imma get kooked for this but some of those clips really reminded me of Ishod’s style and how he lands things. Dope part, always had a soft spot in my heart for Manny lol.

that was a weird edit but I've been a Manny fan for a long time and he's always been a super good dude every time I've met him plus I know he does a lot for the skate scene in Puerto Rico. there were some heavy tricks in there and his ability to heel flip into anything is pretty wild.

Music was terrible, would have been a good 2-ish minute part without the frankly overwhelming amount of slow mo and second angles that only diluted the skating.

Idk which is more impressive, this part or him dating Christina Means.
Manny gets a lot of shit from the “cool” skaters but he seems pretty authentic and is a great skater, he doesn’t seem to fake a lot of tricks/style like plenty of top pros.
Fuck it, put him on primitive.

Damn, How many "trick-to-back feeble on a small-mid size handrail" were in this part? I lost count towards the end. Could have maybe pared some of those back, but I honestly loved that part.

Reminded me of the best and worst aspects of skating in the mid 2000s, filming with earbuds and all.

Despite not having any real backing in the industry, he still skates at an incredible level after all these years. Big respect!

His trick selection has at least gotten better. I feel like for a while he was going out of his way to do the ugliest combos possible. Seems like he has fun with it, which is all that matters at the end of the day.

I would've cut the lazerflip down the doubleset, but other than that, I though the trick selection was pretty decent! the 3shove nose manny down a bank was tasty - that's kind of a Gino trick, as wild as it is to say that. The Clipper tricks were legit

Any reason why he was riding ventures in the slow mo nollie flip in the intro? he was on Krux less than a year ago. Looks like he's riding krux in other clips

Definitely holds the crown for mid-sized, generic rail skating.

ha ha ha I don't know how anyone can hate on Manny. People get hella hyped on dane Brady skating curbs and kook on Manny. I just don't get it. I don't skate like he does and never did but it's fucking sick. Someone said dudes 35 (2 months and 2 days younger than me and I can hardly walk half the time), and he's still skating hard. still a skate rat, ripping hard, and getting visibly stoked on skateboarding. On top of it he's a Puerto Rican kid from Lowell, which is a gnarly fucking place, and growing up in a city in MA with a large Puerto Rican population I only remember 1 PR dude ever skating, so the dude obviously overcame social adversity too. Ain't nothing to not like.

What this guy said. I am not the biggest fan of his skating but I can respect it and especially at his age. Any way is this clip that has the most ever filmed flip/ shuvit - grinds/slides on handrails ever in a single part?

Yeah I get why he may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I discovered his footy when I first started watching skate videos and have always had a soft spot for him. And to be skating like this at 35 is genuinely ridiculous, dude keeps in great shape. Editing was definitely weird and bad lol like...absolutely no need to throw in the dramatic second angle of that nollie heel noseslide in slo-mo when there are 20 tricks harder than that in the video.

The best part of the edit was that they didn't ruin any songs I like. It wasn't much of an edit though, I think they just exported his footage straight from the drive.

Guess somebody's gotta fuck the video?

that nollie heel noseslide slow mo was too much. the editing overall was just bad. each trick down the sylmar blue rail was shown twice, could have shown a few of those once and spiced it up a little. the tricks were so fucked up but if this was edited by someone else to some different music, I think it could be a lot better. maybe to Meatloaf's I Would Do Anything For Love?

He skates rails does weird heelflip tricks his only real sponsor is Nyjah/ Dinner flow and helps out kids in PR. Cool I guess I just don’t really give a shit.

What the fuck was that intro though was it supposed to be like the yeah right intro except the board IS there?

“Just ride towards this curb nollieflip then quickly tick tack 90 degrees to avoid the curb. It’s gonna look so dope with the EDM in the background dude”

This the type of shit to get reposted by IG accounts with the word send it in them. Sender of the day type shit, this part is for kids who play beerpong.
