not as creative as his one big mess part but some cool stuff in there, his size has really given his skating a power boost some real heft to his tricks which is sick
-
god i love watching franky skate <3
-
The ender was really surprising but in a good way. Franky can do it all.
-
Franky stays holding it down for the big boys! Great part and well deserved shoe.
-
Get that money Franky!!!
-
I can see This dude getting fit later in life and barely declining at skating and getting better and better.
-
Dude just does exactly whatever he wants on a skateboard.
One of those guys that is an instant watch for me when he puts out a part. So good.
That ender. Wooooo!
-
NB# tm has a thing for thick boys
-
So is he still on Primitive? What are those wider shaped boards he’s riding?
-

I have a theory that NB doesn't know if they are building a football/rugby team or a skate team so they are just covering their bases. As a thicc guy like jamie and franky it makes me want to try their shoes but I've always heard the toe box is super narrow.
I always enjoy new franky footage. My favorite guy to watch on primitive.

They’re doing a wide 417 in a few seasons.

Something about the pop shuv noseslide at 2:05 just hit the spot for me, always so much fun to watch Franky skate
-

Yea he's still on Primitive, his pro decks with them have the wide egg shapes, for example

Love his skating always. Ender seems really tricky on a square rail like that. Dude can do it all.
-
Never thought I’d hear that song again
-
Ok that was good. Probably need to rewatch in the morning.
-
Everything about that part was on point.
-
As the saying goes "i'm sure glad I get to live at the same time to witness Franky skate"
trick selection on this part was very nice.
-
Franky skates with mad pathos, fool!
-
like woah. that goes. song was tight too
-
sick ass part. enjoyed the song too
-
watched this 5 times already, gets better each time
-
franky rules
-
So sick
-
that ender banged me over the head good and proper
-
Man, shoutout to kyle camarillo that edit was so good.
-
God damn that ender was fuckin nice. The rest was extremely enjoyable as well
-
A Chris Colbourn / Kyle Camarillo collaboration would be sick. NB# should give Cookie a shoe.
-

dude for real! i remember my brother showing me adult. in 2005 & constantly running them on my ipod. nite life was always my favorite.

I havent even watch the part yet, will do later today on a proper TV, not just my phone. Just wanted to say, that is super fucking unexpected but so tight that he has a pro shoe on fucking New Balance, and not some small niche brand like LR or State or something like that.
-
Very enjoyable watch. Mental note of the FS nose to regular on a steep bank for my list of fs noseslides on transition/banks.
-
This part is dope. Have had on heavy rotation. Franky rips and literally can do it all. Stoked he's getting his cause he deserves it.
-
Loved the skating, the song was unfortunate.

Came back after watching a few times to make this same comment. That might have been the trick of the video for me.

Franky <3 <3 <3
that was great from start to finsish. Well deserved with the shoe. Shame he's still on primitive. Would love to see him on a more fitting brand – not sure where though. Limosine, Worble....

Nah I like him on primtive . Why y’all want this man to make less money! Primitive prolly pays good and Prod has taken good care of Franky catering to his style with his graphics and shapes. That’s pretty rad , would he fit better else where ? Maybe but dude produces and his sponsors treat him better than any of the smaller brands could ever.

Totally agree on the money side of things – let me rephrase: if every brand would pay the same, i'd love to see him on a different team, where he's not the quirky guy that sticks out a little (I'm probably projecting here, but anyways), but where he's an integral part of a well rounded team. i loath searching for the Franky part in Primitive videos, because the rest of Primitive is kind of dull to me to watch
-
Yeah he’s most like a Frog skater if I had to place it. They can’t afford him as has been mentioned, but holy shit would that team rule if they had him too.
-
So so good
-
Sci-Fi or Jacuzzi. He said his two favorite skaters are Louie and Jerry a while back and it shows.
Part was dope.
-

same. man that brought me back. pretty stoked he picked that song.

Yeah the Bag of Suck connection with this part rules
-
Like Franky a bunch. I've watched this twice so far
Can't wait for him to make a tech shoe and call it the 1031. He can have Svitak as his guest skater
Also can we call that fake Clipper hubba Flipper

A Franky/Cookie session would be a lot of fun to watch.

Yes, I completely agree. Seems like he’s homies with the primitive guys too and that counts. I don’t know anywhere else that would give him that kind of creative control.
Side note, it’s so awesome that all his sponsors have backed him so hard and given him what he wants. Between primitive, the dickies clothing line, and now a pro shoe (with multiple colorways before this), he’s being taken care of and that’s fucking sick

Lovely. Franky + ADULT = <3

there's 0 chance that either of those brands, especially worble, could pay him even 50% of what he gets from primitive.
-
Ender was fucked up. Crazy people still get NBDs on that rail. Kinda felt a little throw-away-y tho.
I like that Franky is on Primitive. He brings balance to the team. He’s honestly too good for a Limosine or similar company. He fits with an elite crew IMO because he’s so good and well rounded.
-
Reminds me of this

I have a feeling his boards sell well, too. Whenever there is a sale, it is either absent or the ones available go fast.

I love him on Primitive :) also this part wasn't a "quirky" part - it was non-circusy all the way through!
I really loved the boardslides pop out on the bank to rail!
How old is he now? I don't get as much of the teenager in love with Blink-182 vibe from him as I used to.

I don’t want to say his part was quirky - but in comparison to the rest of the primitive team, his skating is quirky: can’t remember a primitive video, where someone is doing slappies for example
-
I can't believe how clean this was.
-
I watched it twice. I used to be annoyed by his coloured wheels but didn't even notice, zero complaints.
-
like woah. that goes. song was tight too

can't please everyone I guess
good part, crazy enjoyable watch

You don’t see much in clips, even his skatepark ones, but having seen him a few times at vans a few years ago , I’d say he skates just as technically well as anyone on that team but chooses the more fun route which has worked well for his career clearly.
I saw him back casually back nose blunt stall the tightest little pocket of transition after a whole run of the park every time. He was learning switch tail shoves on one of the hubbas by the end of the day and did it in like 3-4 tries. Absolutely could put out that less “quirky” primitive style part if he wanted but he just has fun and I think that’s exactly why he’s on primitive.
I’ve also come back to this part a few times and I kinda miss some of the dork tricks but he’s always had a decent mix of actual tech and gnar and then the fun weird tricks that are still insanely hard. Love This guy.
-
I am curious would he actually skate better on a 8.5" ? or is he actually at his maximum power on the Egg? I have replicated his setup for the most part and I can skate fairly close to my full level, but my setup feels a bit heavy (i put Ace 60 instead of Thunders... i may have to try it with 151s at some point.) The main thing I feel like its not great for is manuals, and I honestly cant even think of a Franky clip of him doing a manny.
-
love this guy
-
Pardon how corny this might sound, but it makes me think of Picasso, who as a young man could paint with light and shading - photorealistically even - but eventually developed his own abstract style unique to him. When it’s a choice, it makes the “quirky” elements better, because it’s not a decision driven by a lack of skill.

His Primitive Egg shape is never in stock too, all the other riders and even the Rod-Father himself has decks on sale. Think he makes decent money off deck sales.
