Luan will always be one of my favorite skaters to watch.
-
The berries is always hella losing shit. Where my Luan tape at? Why you always losing my Luan tape when I let you hold it??
-
Luan steady ripping. Anyone know where this part was filmed? I'm guessing Brazil. Some really unique spots.
The filming was proper as well.
This mid line kickflip to immediate powerslide stood out:

that's not a bigspin though right? he does a front shove and front 180, his board doesnt go 360. i've always thought bigspins had to go full 360 and your body a 180, am i an idiot?

the board spun 180, he caught it, and continued to turn 180, therefore the board did go 360. bigspin confirmed.

Hyper pop and hyperhidrosis. Luan has the cleanest style. Wish he would drop a magnum opus some day.

First clip you posted is in Belo Horizonte (there are lots of clips in Belo Horizonte, like the stadium and some small hill bombs), second in Rio de Janeiro.
I wish he would have skated more spots in Belo Horizonte. The city is not well represented in skate videos and has tons of amazing spots downtown.

I wanna know what kind of deal Flip has that’s kept Luan on for so long. The brand’s been p much dead for years now, and Luan could have gotten big money elsewhere.
Tbh this part seemed a bit underwhelming to me. Maybe it was the editing but it didn’t have that excitement Luan parts usual give.
-
luan is great and always a treat but seemed like a throwaway part for berrics to shill, that shitty youtube vlog music at the end almost made me vomit
most relatable part of the video was luan's sweat levels
-
Tasteful part from him
-
His throwaway is better than some other pro parts... imagin being this good

And here we see SLAP's very own version of the Chekhov's Gun principal.
- With very few exceptions, if any brand is ever brought up by OP, there is a 100% chance that someone (or multiple people) in the comments will lament "that brand is dead" before the thread ends.

Funnily the most sweaty clip he's got the blue button up with khaki pants which is what every politician wears in Aus to look relatable. He's done his research

When was the last time Flip did anything that made you excited for the brand as a whole?
-
seeing Luan skate at Tampa Pro is permanently burned into my brain. He is the most consistent skater I've ever seen.
-
they say if luan even thinks about skateboarding his ass will sweat right through his pants

No way this is a lost and found part. Luan been filming for a part like 4 years..maybe doesnt have bangers enough to put it out.
Part was good for a undergound skater with lowkey sponsors, not for a dude that has almost 2 million followers.
-
With flatground like that, I don't care if he does much else or not. Still utterly unreal.
-
Think about filming luan and then handing the footage off to chase gabor to edit. That’s gotta hurt
-
I kinda expected more out of his career at the beginning of the 2010s. He was very promising, feels like the "ground breaking part" this guy could/ could have produced is missing... (extremely sorry doesnt really count)? Maybe partially due the industry still being pretty US focused in several aspects.
-
if there was ever a person that could benefit from nyjah's booty shorts and tank tops it would be our boy here. let your body breath luan!

My doubt is if he likes the process of filming a videopart. He said in an old interview that he doesnt like California and place vibes, the pressure to film and get clips. Maybe its the reason We all see him every year in BATB but not putting effort to film a propper video part.
As pro skater who rides for a top tier world brand, seems lazy and comfortable.

Interesting how Louie Lopez and Luan's careers went off different trajectories, since both were the star groms on Flip during the Extremely Sorry days. Luan had a lot of success with competitions and made good bank with SLS, Copenhagen, X-Games and BATB showings but never evolved his style and trick selection. Being on Nike definitely helped his wallet.
LL landed on the biggest brand in recent times, has a pro shoe with Converse and is in the running for SOTY with his recent part.
I think LL's legacy will shine brighter in the next 10 years but both should be sitting comfortably financially.

i feel like i'm taking crazy pills here. i've texted like a dozen people i grew up skating with, and none of us called it a bigspin. maybe it's because he catches the shuv before he turns his body that's throwing me? i dunno, maybe i'm explaining it like a moron.
oh well, i've always known i was a dunce, que sera.

imagine "losing" someone's part, then refinding it, rewatching it and still decide to keep this song in it. Holy fuck that was bad

I bet Luan’s flip boards move a shitload in Brazil. That country goes positively apeshit for its homegrown stars

You're leaving out the part i'm most curious about - what do you call the Luan trick, if not a bigspin?

Luan is an interesting case. Amazing skater. Could just watch him skate flat and be happy. Seems like good dude too whenever he speaks.
But he’s never had that part that cemented his place where he should be.

front shove, late 180. he does a front shove, then a 180.
id be like if someone did a kickflip, then after they caught it, did a late shove; i wouldn't call it a varial, i'd call it a kickflip late shove. they're two separate motions to me, which i guess is what's tripping me up on the luan one. he fully catches the front shove, then turns his body. his right shoulder doesn't even begin to move until after he's caught the front shove

How long have you been skating and this is the first time you've seen this called a bigspin?? You gotta be trolling

One thing in years. Not saying that isn’t dope but to say Flip is anything but irrelevant is a lie

But if somebody did a kickflip catch then turned 180 would you still call it a frontside flip? (Aka the sarimento) that's probably closer to what's happening here.
In tiny bit defense there was a similar thought back when yeah right came out and Koston does a bigspin over that wavy bump to bar altho bigspins were kinda in a lul at the time and people quickly agreed bigspin once they thought about it for ten seconds

Luan is the most disappointing skater of all time. Been waiting over a decade for an epic part from him and evidently ir is never coming.

I agree, very disappointing
He figured out he could play it safe and not do anything particularly risky or interesting, since everyone creams themselves over his flatground. Fucking backside noseslides all day every day. Boring as shit. He could do so much amazing shit into, say, a back noseblunt, but he chooses to do backside noseslides. It's just always such a let down.
I wonder if he's ever had someone give him some constructive criticism on his trick selection, or if everyone just gives him a good ball-washing

While I too think it is disappointing, I dont think thats the full story and your comment kinda reads like the fundamental attribution error tbh. Someone else said that he was not into the skate vibe in california and hes not the only one, many come back from califronia disenchanted (blown out spots, hour long car drives, getting kicked out, getting tickets, expensive cost of living, etc.). But I guess having a productive pro career (as in filming respected and groundbreaking videoparts) outside the US is only feasible for Europeans/ in Europe, if anything.
-
The idea that Luan has some kind of limitless untapped potential that he just chooses not to use is ridiculous.
Dude is clearly a total skate rat and has given everything he has to skateboarding.
Bummer for you if you can't enjoy his skating for what it is.

have you seen my man's footage? his ass, balls, and dick sweat like a fucking firehose... he needs a lot more than a good ball-washing (literal or figurative)
-
We need to start a go fund me and send Luan to house of Gustav for a winter ( definitely not summer ).
Has one of the best flicks in the game.
I think some good filming and editing with a little bit of creative guidance will produce that part we are waiting for.
He’s amazingly skilled and likable. The filler footage / B roll in this was majorly overdone as well. Berrics find a way to ruin everything.

Kind of rough cut of Luan at 18 years old:

@shannamal its no big deal. For a long time certain tricks would get provincial names. There was a weird period in the early 90s when out ledges and hubbas were called nibs and jibs by one or more of the mags for some reason. I'm glad that didn't stick.
On the topic of Luan - he rips and has a sick style but I feel like he never really put out a defining part. To be fair though if you could get paid to skate on a team with Arto and Geoff (back when Flip was respected) and not kill yourself skating gnarly stuff I think most of us would go that route.

Dude's easily one of the most talented skaters of his generation. Right up there with Shane O'Neill, ishod, ck etc. Extremely sorry is his best part in terms of technicality, versatility and big gaps, and he was around 18 at the time. Style has gotten much better but parts after that have basically been 90% stuff he does first try in contests. I'm happy to watch him skate but it's just a bit of a bummer he didn't have the drive to really push himself

You explained it perfectly, it’s not that we don’t enjoy his skating- far from it- it’s just obvious from his output that he hasn’t pushed himself for his parts in the same way we might have seen other prodigious talents on the board.
I’ll still watch anything he puts out , but I’m over expecting anything other than the level I’ve already seen.

It’s just this but the opposite in terms of Masaki Hongo doing the 180 first and then late shuv, Luan did the shuv first then the 180. Both are still big spins, I think the way Masaki did it is rarer.
