Ah damn, there you go! Can't wait for his onslaught of footy in 2023. If he moved from Chicago to SoCal, he would have been pro like 5 years ago.

Optimally dipped.

Yeah! Nick Matthews has been a new favorite since the Venture x Uprise vid for me, sick skater, sick style!

Antihero trips with him, pfanner, Daan and crew are about to be in the stratosphere.

Incredible form on this bs smith. If I ever should manage to learn them I know who to imitate

i'll take any other DLX brand but anti hero just does not seem like a good match
-
Can’t believe he’s not even am yet this is crazy
-
Lol, wtf how is Nick Matthews an "Am"?
He's been the best skateboarder in Chicago for over a year. I think this all gives you an idea of how slept on and disrespected Chicago is in skateboarding.
The fact that this dude can get this good despite the ~4-6 months a year of awful weather here is insane.
-
he actually did move to so cal when he was on chocolate flow, didnt go as planned and moved back to Chicago
needs that flow to pro bump ASAP

i think Anti-Hero freshening up their squad with some new street riders would actually be really sick

ok if they added more street dudes then i would be onboard but with the current state of the team i just dont see a fit

I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone this good who gets covers, ads, regular high-quality coverage across all mediums, who’s been in skating for awhile - and who doesn’t have a proper board sponsor.
It’s surreal. It’s like a board sponsor is unimportant at this stage.

Been saying this for years. Their street guys have always been top notch it's time to update. Daan was on his way to being that dude before he got injured, some new blood would be so sick.

Looks like a cover from 2006 in a good way

One of those obstacles where I have no clue of it’s purpose beyond being skated.

SOTY 2023

I feel like I saw something recently about this spot getting demolished and no longer being skateable. Would make this photo even more dope since it would likely be the last trick done there.

God damn.

Its straight videogame shit. Its like in Session and SkaterXL where you can smith grind higher ledges than you can 50-50. He is smith grinding shit that would be impossible to 50-50.

Unpopular opinion or maybe it’s not but smith grinding a taller ledge is way easier than a lower one.

The Thrasher logo should have been in a brick font IMO.

nik stain would like to have a word, respectfully

how long has the angle iron been on there (not that it really matters)? trying to remember other stuff that's been done on this spot, i remember Zered doing something on it back in the day?

From my memory a long time. Bachinsky back 5-0’d it in thanks camera 2 (I believe? Pls correct me if wrong) and it was angle then. There was a lot of manny tricks done into the bank but the angle has been there for years.

No. The angle iron hasn’t been on for over a decade. It was put back on right before the am scramble trip

If smith on 1 ft ledge easier than curb, then truly a 4ft+ smith also easier.
What a fuckin hotdog

Maybe at one point, but that SF bs smith def woke everyone up

pretty sure ive seen tricks on this ledge many years ago

I would have rather seen his Island back smith from the Huf video on this cover. This spot is a tad bit too fake for a cover, I feel, and the SF one was more monumental. Iconic. Shit is chest high.
What all has happened at this spot? Somebody kickflipped into the bank, right? Anthony Shelter? Zered bs nosegrinded the angle iron, I think. Maybe also switch 50 and switch ollie into the bank. Has anyone done a ledge trick with no angle iron?

Went there with Raemers [ RIP :'( ]. He attempted a few bs blunts but didnt make it.

How is it “fake”

Pretty sure it was Dave Bachinsky with KF into the lower bank.

this is what i wanna know. what video was zered's back nosegrind in, anyone know? i went and looked up the other three tricks mentioned here (Bachinsky back 5-0 and Kevin Coakley fs tail and fs nosegrind) and they were all done with angle iron. i think it's legit either way tbh but especially if no one has ever really done anything on it with no angle iron

do you by any chance remember a foto of ben that was supposed to be a cover- but he also didn t make it ... i remember seeing attemts posted after his passing... it s in barcelona up the hills near parallel and you go over a rail into a steep barcelona style bank with the signature cobblestones... poles at the bottom and wierd angles... blew me away when i came across the spot by accident but i could never find these attemts again

I went there with him to try it in a second session. He was too bugged out by a car that had parked near it. (As if all those poles weren't sketchy enough!) I'll see if I have any attempts on an old drive, but I dont think he was too close. The closer ones I remember seeing were from that first session.

They use a trick from the trip and I don’t know if the other back smith would have suited vertical framing. To me it was a classic Transworld Pro Interview pull out poster

Crazy he still doesn't have a board out...

Nik stains spread eagle squat landings off of curbs that he’s mannying have got to stop. He’s a decent skateboarder, but fan boys need to get off his nuts. No chance in hell he could get close to backsmithing that thing.

Does anyone know, if he rides 8.25 or 8.5?

All his Anti-Hero decks are 8.06

That’s what I’ve heard.
It just seems crazy. I was watching his part today and, after years of skateboarding, I was tripping on how the camera makes the boards look bigger sometimes.
