Anybody else see people act like this in real life? There's this one kid at my local who always focuses his board and screams after not landing his flip tricks off a 3 ft ledge.

Who was it that had a super embarrassing video of them as a kid spitting in a dude’s face at a skate park? It was someone who went on to be successful and scrubbed the video from the internet.

Speaking of scrubbed freakout videos: there was a really bad one of David Gravette melting down about not landing a trick that I can’t find anywhere. I have vague memories of it coming from Thrasher and featuring a curved ledge. But it was humiliating and made me lose respect for the dude. If anyone can find this, please post it.

It’s just skateboarding, people. Sure I’ve been frustrated while skating, but in all my years I’ve never even considered throwing or breaking my board. I do this for fun, and if it’s not fun anymore I try a different trick or stop skating for the day. I don’t act like a child.

It is just skateboarding, and meant to be for fun.
But on a professional level when trying to achieve something that go on to part of your output (cover photo, video part trick, even an editorial or a trick for a shoe advert) I understand it a little more.
I just don’t need to see loads of it.
I don’t mind seeing aspects of someone’s “battle” documented but there  is a limit. I don’t like being in person present for it in any way.

There's probably a solid hour of Gravette wigging out at spots throughout his b-sides/rough cuts and I'm here for all of it. There's nothing funnier then watching someone who's naturally funny throwing a bitch fit tantrum. You can tell quite often the cameraman's laughing to himself during Gravette's episodes.

I understand it to an extent, a lot of skaters have to get hype to huck down big stuff or step to big rails. Especially pros where there's actual money/sponsorship on the line and they're expected to produce.

In the other YouTube videos of David Loy's "The Beginning" part, they edited out the intro. Can see why as it's embarrassing. Glad I found one which still had it.

First half of Jerry hsu’s stay gold part.

Disagree, those freakouts are pure pathos. The dude was missing skateboarding so bad that he was willing to skate switch to accommodate a knee injury, filming an impressive part and enduring those slams in the process.  That part is, to borrow a phrase, a love letter to skateboarding from one of its favorite sons. Nothing cringey about that, imo.

This.

But, I understand the frustration at times and I am guilty of focusing my shit when I was younger. (Now that I have to pay for shit, I don't focus my shit anymore. Hell, I won't skate an asphalt park cause I don't want to get razor tail for a park session.)

Skateboarding is frustrating and scary as all hell sometimes. It makes sense that after trying the same trick for 2 hours we might lose our cool or that our emotions might be ramped up while we try to convince ourselves to jump off something scary that will likely result in injury if something goes wrong.

However, some of the meltdowns are embarrassing as it is like a kid having his first beer who is super "drunk." It's just playing pretend to fit the image of AVE or some other pro.

I completely get what you’re saying but half the part is a bit much. At a certain point it get awkward and hard to watch. Also, I don’t think Jerry himself freaking out is cringey. Him being so emotional makes sense. I just think deciding to make two minutes of the part him screaming and crying is a bit cringey.

That's one of my favorite parts. It really epitomizes skateboarding. It's a concept part that was sure to be done sooner or later (starting with the bails/struggle, ending with the triumphs) and I think it was kind of right situation with the right people involved to make it the best version of that part possible.

That part should be in the library of Congress.

It’s totally learned behaviour. It started appearing in Skateboard videos at some point and then impressionable young kids emulate the tv skater man.

It’s the same with kids freaking out while playing fortnite because they watch these YouTube retards spazzing out over stupid video games and they copy the behaviour.

I remember being young and one of my friends freaking out, throwing his board, trying to focus it then eventually succeeding

These older Brazilian dudes who had been killing it and looked happy the entire time saw it and shook their heads, one of them said  "why would you purposefully break your own board?"in the most peaceful, almost soothing tone, my friend didnt really seem phased, i felt a wave of secondhand embarassment and shame

I can imagine they grew up skating some rough setups and the visceral reaction to seeing kids wreck their own almost pristine few week old setups to be pretty jarring

Stuck with me for years, it really doesnt make sense

I saw Mike York skate one of the big Euro contests once, must have been 2000 or 2001 or so.

He totally fucked up his run and then threw the biggest temper tantrum I have seen in my life, both skaters and non-skaters in my life, and 20 years later still remains unsurpassed.

He focused his board, then walked for iirc for about 10 minutes around the stadium, cursing, screaming, smashing his board (or at least what was left of it) on the floor or throwing it against walls.

All this while at least 8000 skaters (also many kids and parents) were watching, I saw a mother with a couple of young kids (8 - 9 years old probably) leave the stadium.

People would probably now say it was "cringe" but I felt bad for him, he always struck me as a fun loving, easy going kind of guy.

In the light of recent events, at least the crowd didn't make fun of him.

This is the pinnacle of skate freakouts. The skater's pain and anguish is perfectly accompanied by the filmer's no-nonsense explanation of what went down. I'm not sure if it's actually gay to pee on a rock, but Austin seemed to know what he was talking about.

i had the most consistent run of any skater at that conest. landed every trick in my run and was doing more tech stuff. i get that Tony was skating fast as hell and that it was impressive but i could've done all of that. mad political shit goes on at SPOT and i wasnt that tight with many of the influential dudes there so felt like the contest wasnt judged fairly. throwing the trophy was immature as fuck but if you apply street league rules or really any standard contest rules to my runs i should've won. tony won because of his image. not to take anything away from tnt he fuckin rips but i shouldve won that damn contest.

I remember being full of myself snowboarding, trying to float a bs 3 indy over the biggest jump in the park around 94 (so not that big, haha).

I took it so seriously, and although I floated a nice one that people cheered, I didn’t get the grab and made a big display of how pissed off I was that I could have done better, taking off my board and acting like a big baby.

I felt so wierd, that I forced that performance, basically for my audience, that I resolved never to do that again.

Soon after I learned to laugh at my mistakes, the more embarrassing, the bigger the laugh. It’s helped me a lot and made my whole experience much more enjoyable.

I have a similar snowboarding story:
I was a cocky sponsored skateboarder in 97’ who never snowboarded before in my entire life. 30 minutes in, and halfway down the pro slope eating shit and cussing the whole way down, I took the board off my feet and the board got away from me. I subsequently chased the board down the whole rest of the slope yelling “watch out!!” “Incoming board!!” to all the parents and children in harms way. I never snowboarded again.

It’s just skateboarding, people. Sure I’ve been frustrated while skating, but in all my years I’ve never even considered throwing or breaking my board. I do this for fun, and if it’s not fun anymore I try a different trick or stop skating for the day. I don’t act like a child.

Yeah, it’s almost as though for a pro it’s their job and livelihood, and for you it is not.

I used to be that kid when i was young and immature
I get mad still for sure, its super rare, but never to the point of breaking a board, i think i did that once when i was 16 and thats probably the only time i did it

It is frustrating when it seems like you know you can do something in your mind for sure but there is just some small part not working out exactly how you need it to. anything that isnt just riding around for the most part and doing straight ollie on requires so much precision in often a non ideal environment. so of course its easy to get mad when you try something a billion times and its just not working.

i think it is best to focus on staying safe and if the trick doesnt happen today it wasnt meant to be and i am okay with not getting the clip. it is better to live to fight another day and try it again / different spot

i really look up to people who seem to never get rattled by negativity. keeping a positive attitude throughout many failed attempts. dont complain or shit talk people. never get so mad that theyd even show it

at least the gravette one above is justified, trying the same kink rail for hours or days would be brutal. But raging over a fun little no comply flip line and some of the "fun" tricks he's doing in this is brutal.

A few years ago at an indoor park this kid I know kept messing up on switch heels on flat and eventually erupted screaming "I'M A STREET SKATER"! (in his case, the streets were an outdoor park)
Did you honor his STREET pass?

I never try hard enough to get mad. I guess. I’m my own boss and if I can’t make the thing happen at that moment I’m not gonna get mad. I’m gonna chill. Go try something else cuz that’s gotta be more fun then getting mad. Also the skateboard is a friend. Maybe even a best friend for life kinda thing. Who beats their friend up like that?

I always thought AVE in the beginning of the DC video was a bit cringe, especially when he's hitting his board against the pole repeatedly. But then he made up for it with that fucked up part.

For some people it's a part of the process. I love melt down footy, especially when they get it. Like Gravette with that kinked rail. That shit is beyond gnarly and you're risking life and limb so whatever it takes to get you in the zone.

I saw Mike York skate one of the big Euro contests once, must have been 2000 or 2001 or so.

He totally fucked up his run and then threw the biggest temper tantrum I have seen in my life, both skaters and non-skaters in my life, and 20 years later still remains unsurpassed.

He focused his board, then walked for iirc for about 10 minutes around the stadium, cursing, screaming, smashing his board (or at least what was left of it) on the floor or throwing it against walls.

All this while at least 8000 skaters (also many kids and parents) were watching, I saw a mother with a couple of young kids (8 - 9 years old probably) leave the stadium.

People would probably now say it was "cringe" but I felt bad for him, he always struck me as a fun loving, easy going kind of guy.

In the light of recent events, at least the crowd didn't make fun of him.

He must have been walking around with yayo all up in his nasal and must have been crazed, yo.

Could be, I didn't pay too much attention to him before his meltdown. For real, who's going to watch Mike York when dudes like Reynolds, MJ, Penny, Rowley, Saari, Koston, Salabanzi, Creager, Boulala and many more are killing it on the course too?

I was at a skatepark this saturday and some dude spent a solid 2 hours trying to film himself 360 flip down a skatepark bank like it was a set of stairs (maybe the equivalent of an 8 stair). He was clearly just hucking himself with zero chance of ever landing it, but he kept yelling every time he fell. It was noon, so the place was filled with kids, and there's this dude screaming "FUCK YOU!!! GOD DAMMIT" every 5 minutes right in the middle of everyone. Everyone around couldn't help but laugh at how serious he was about a trick he was never going to land that he could have easily taken to a nearby school/church/park and it would have looked 10x more legit.

Then a blind guy showed up and started skating the mini ramp, some ledges, and the stairs and the dude chilled out.

Honestly, I can't exactly justify AVE acting how he does, but I enjoy how he sometimes freaks out so ferociously that it's like he's trying to focus whatever might be focusable within reach sometimes, like a road sign, or a metal barrier, or a fence, or what have you.

I'm surprised they used this song after Consolidated used it in Behold and it had to be in at least one other video prior to Fully Flared.

This definitely isn't the most cringe-inducing, but I've always loved the intro to AO's Fully Flared part.
His freakout in Cherry is worse. Like, he's a grown man trying to pull an older man off a curved rail cuz he can't skate the spot. Growing up in an urban setting, you are used to crazy people doing shit in public spaces, but it only really becomes a worrying issue when they start acting aggressively to random people.

I'd totally forgotten about that, but you're right. It was so juvenile and unnecessary.

Gravette, always wins...anyone have a link to him at Andy Macs skatercross course or whatever the fuck?

EDIT: found it:

https://youtu.be/TF17F0DiXGQ

I've definitely seen a video of that full session of Gravette trying the trick over that gap and he's going absolutely fucking mental. It's pretty funny to watch but I can't find it anywhere since I first saw it. Pretty sure it was on facebook or something the first time.

Watched a skate vlog out of curiosity about a year ago and the dude was trying a trick and got super heated during a solo sesh.. I'm assuming he edits his own footy since he films himself but he voluntarily included his moments of severe frustration. I guess you gotta showcase the ups and downs of skating but I got second hand embarrassment.

man, I'd forgotten about that.

a couple of takeaways here:

1. He did a flawless undressing of himself under the cover of that duvet.
2. Did her try and put a tv remote all up in his bum hole?
3. The sheer joy on his brothers face is amazing.
