"Fuck you, rain!!!"
Love it. Those back 5-0 attempts on the hubba in the rain were fucking psycho. Dude's an animal.
-
Sex change fakie 5-0 half cab out is a cool idea.
-
Dude is fucking gnarly.
If I didn't have the image of him trying to smash Raven Tershy in the head with a skateboard over a slashed tire I'd appreciate him more, but that's kinda burned into my brain.
From the interview on the Thrasher site:
CLINT WALKER IS NOT A VILLAIN—no matter what the cops or the Internet rebels say.
Did you and Raven ever squash the beef?
Dude, I don’t know! I don’t know if he’s still mad. I’m not. I haven’t been. It’s so funny because to me that’s something where I wish I hadn’t done what I did, but I wish he didn’t do what he did either, you know?
Yea man, if someone slashed the tire of the team van I was riding in, that I wasn't financially responsible for, and comprehensive insurance or $100 would cover (or just put on the spare), I'd totally want to smash them in the head with a skateboard as well...
It was just something that happened and that’s it. I told him, “Sorry,” and he was, like, “Fuck you,” or whatever, but I’m not mad. I don’t even care about any of that shit. I don’t think about it and I don’t think they—well, yeah, I think they do still think about it. There was someone the other day that texted me and told me Elijah was talking shit on me on some webcast or some shit. I didn’t care or get mad. It’s just weird to me that it’s still even a thing.
So that being said, how does it feel to be the bad wrestler of skateboarding now, the villain? How did that happen?
Ha! I don’t know. I guess it was God’s plan.
Yeah, the editing gods of reality TV.
I don’t even know. I don’t think so.
Well, you’re only the villain to the people who only see the side of the skater they like more. Pretty much, right? Is it a popularity contest?
I think sometimes shit just happens and that’s it. It’s just the way it is. I’m not bummed on it. I don’t feel that way. I never meet people who are bummed on me. No one’s ever, like, “Hey, fuck you, dude.” Kids are just hyped to meet me. Maybe people are bummed on the Internet, but fuck them. I don’t even know who those 12 year olds are. The only time anyone brings it up is in interviews or something. It’s never affected my real life or anything. It’s all TV stuff. It’s not in the real world."
The fact that a human can't be bummed on themselves for an action that literally could have ended a fellow skater's life over something that could easily be fixed... that's the part that personally gives me no reason to forgive the guy.
Of course, no one is going to say "Fuck you" to your face in real life. We've all seen how you could potentially overreact in a situation. It's some scary shit dude.

All of this. Even if he's not intentionally malicious, at the very least he's a dumbass of a high calibre. But then add to that his super gnarly skating? He pretty much breaks even in my book, I don't dislike him, but also probably wouldn't hang out with him.
Also, if I ever start yelling "LETS GO BOYS!! LETS GO BOYS!!" before a trick, please don't let me attempt whatever it is. We're skating, not bull riding.

Okay, he really does not seem to be the most likeable or smart person ever, but his skating is completely psycho and I love watching it. The rough cut definitely brought this out better than the part itself. He puts everything on the line 100 per cent of the time.

I've had one of my patented changes of heart. I like the guy. I think Clint Walker is probably a pretty cool dude in person. If my antics had the same kind of scrutiny his did, people would hate me 10x more.
-
Dude is completely chill in person I've met him. Tailslide on the ledge to front board shove was fucking sick shit is a video game
-
Country cowboy can certainly create cranium contusions cruising city cement chains, capriciously captivating casual celery churning.
Whatever kids, the guy is undeniably gnarly.
-
Say what you will about the man but his skating speaks for itself. He kills it
-
Damn I love watching him slam
-
off the board antics are a bit much at times but good grief he is fucking gnarly
that was insane. also, i'm getting tired of seeing people bring up his absurdity on KOTR (where absurdity is encouraged). i'm not saying i think it was okay but yeah we get it you don't need to post the same shit in every thread.
-
motherfucker put in the work
-
he's not the most legit or liked
but he's undeniably gnarly
-
i like that thrasher released part 1 and part 2 on the same day to get that sweet content double dip #thrasherwatermark

Probably to get it out of the way, Riley's were a couple weeks apart in release and I bet it was to remind people Lakai made a video.
-
I enjoyed Clint's part but it's probably due to my obsession with The Lonesome Crowded West. Clint's definitely the type of skateboarder that looks awkward doing lines. That no-comply/switch heel line just looked silly.
-
fucking crazy skating
-
Fuck me! Dude is an amazing skater. So gnarly.
He should consider getting a minder or PR specialist on board

Before that I was thinking dang he might be soty, then there was that line and I didn't think that anymore. Although Leo Romero...

Clint is pretty normal in person. He's definitely a smart-ass, and that prob contributes to the villain image. No way he would ever ACTUALLY smash another skaters brains out with a skateboard, that's just ridiculous. He's also a really good skateboarder that does insane shit on a daily basis.

He didn’t even beat him up... dude got what was coming to him (whatever that was)...
People soooo soft
Dude broke the contact barrier when he put his hands on clint, clint wrestled him down and swung a bit. Been in similar shit with my friends :P
Also this was amazing and made my day.
I also have a change of heart. Wish they would have used an alternative angle as well as the drone shot for that last trick because the drone perspective flattens that hill.
Some of the filming was weird, but honestly I love skateboarding and I appreciate that jocks like clint have a place in the culture.
Clint you the man ✔️

I’m the gay one they kicked off
-
Its all about that bs 180 into that bank then switch heel. I mean its the type of skating you expect from someone who batters the homeless. Clints sick, hes been doin weird gnarly shit forever.
-
that was pretty mental he can definitely take some heavy slams. great skating, there teams seems quite jockish though, could not see myself acting like that when out skating with friends.

It's insane that Clint offers what seems to be a half-assed apology after braining someone with his skateboard and doesn't understand why people have beef with him. Beyond KOTR, his entitled behavior in the Wilshire fiasco really soured me on Clint -- asking someone to hold back coverage so he could reap the benefits from his doing it, and than having his cronies post the ollie and the date he did it like it's some game-changing maneuver was weak as shit.
With that being said, this dude's spot selection is always worth a watch, despite his off-the-board antics or on-the-board posture.
-
So I just watched his part
https://youtu.be/TKwihHXLKhs
And have concluded that much like Nyjah,had I never heard or seen him off a skateboard I'd probably be more into his skating. Yes he is gnarly and the spots he skates are pretty fucked,buuut he is who he is,whatever.
-
Ok also have to ask-
Did anyone else feel that the clip placement/maybe editing in general was just way off for this section?
I like the part and the song is good (wish more people skated to modest mouse) , I just feel like it could be SO MUCH BETTER...
Weird cuts, off beat, strange tricks back to back, slo-mo.. etc
I remember J Hernandez always posting about his computer crashing when he would edit... I’m wondering if kind of just sent out some pretty strong rough edits and said fuck it ...

My bad i got it mixed up with Brokeback. Jake Gyllenhaal is in both.
-
anyone else notice that they put black tape on the ground on that double bank kick flip in part one? i guess to define him clearing it. really weird
-
Video edit is pretty tame and slow for the first half. Should spent more time finding a better song and editing it in a slightly faster and more dramatic way
-
HOW does he get back up from those slams?
I'm guessing he's young still but damn.
that rough cut vid might earn its place in skating history honestly. It's just uber-gnar and the quantity is nuts too. Not only that, but I thought trick and spot selection were really interesting... and that does not fit the jock narrative does it?
The only drawback for me is his style ain't the greatest but damn. What a maniac. I don't know why but that 5-0 fakie into huge bank with landing on dirt might be the one trick that sticks out for me. who'd think of that trick on a "spot" like that?
-
Its all about that bs 180 into that bank then switch heel.
I fully expected he was going to die on that mach 5 switch heel. His footage is dope but this part didn't really work for me somhow, Ambig part was better.
-
wish he would have smacked that bitch cry baby Raven harder with his board.
-
Been a fan of his since Modern Art. I think its hard to judge someones character from a reality TV show, even if he is a douche his skating is fucking amazing.
But Ill be the first to admit that Wilshire beef was lame as fuck.

agreed. i don't see how he's any less likable that forest.
that switch heel after the back 180 in the bank was crazy and trying to back five 0 that huge hubba in the pouring rain was so gnarly. all the no comply tricks on to rails were nuts. really enjoy his skating.
-
God damn, that was fucking heavy. I liked the rough cuts a lot more than the actual part.
Like him or not, you can't deny Clint's skating.

"Braining" him? He hit him in the back, and nothing happened to him at all. He didn't go to the hospital, he didn't get hit in the head, he sustained a minor injury
Team van he was riding in and not financially responsible for? It wasn't the team van, it was his friend's (David Loy's) car. Slashing a friend's tire deserves more than a stern talking to
I'm not going to pretend Clint should get an award for citizen of the year, but y'all are a bunch of overdramatic gossipy bitches who like to turn everything into a bigger thing than it is and will literally change the facts of the story to feed your bullshit internet outrage.

I thought for sure he was gonna freak out on that janitor guy like he did that poor guy living in the tent. Maybe he's chilled out a little

Yeah I think that janitor has already had it rough enough, with his parents leaving him at the Grand Canyon as a child and everything.

Again, dude in tent attacked him first. If you want to go in on him for bothering a guy by skating next to his tent, ok, I guess (you and I bother people every day we skate the streets), but y'all again are exaggerating what happened for the sake of drama.

heres the thing man
if i was living in a tent and didn't skate i would be upset too if some cowboy kept skating by my head.i wouldn't come out swinging but the truth is just because the dudes homeless doesn't mean he shouldn't be treated like a human. there are plenty of spots out there clint can go film his "throw away line" at. would it have ruined his day to just move on and find someplace else to skate? i doubt it. clearly the homeless guy is having a hard time in life, clint knew he was in the tent and kept zipping by his head. that right there is a dick move and i can see how from the dude in the tents eyes he might have felt threatened by it all. anyways i skate for fun and for me pissing people off isn't all that fun. if i ever feel like I'm pissing someone off when I'm skating in the streets i just move on. there is a whole world of shit to skate i don't need to ruin anyones day with my fun.

Jockstrap showing the hipsters how it's done with the body varial and no comply variations. It's a shame it can't be discussed without degrading into Raven vs Clint or Homeless Guy vs Clint debates.

insanely good ! scariest skating I've seen in a while

Give him a shave and he’d look like Marc Gasol

Wild stuff! On a semi-related, semi-unrelated note, I was really happy to see actual slams in one these "Rough Cuts", and you know things besides just trick, trick, trick.
Feel like every other rough cut is just 10 minutes of landed tricks, cool but no substance man!

"Braining" him? He hit him in the back, and nothing happened to him at all. He didn't go to the hospital, he didn't get hit in the head, he sustained a minor injury
Team van he was riding in and not financially responsible for? It wasn't the team van, it was his friend's (David Loy's) car. Slashing a friend's tire deserves more than a stern talking to
I'm not going to pretend Clint should get an award for citizen of the year, but y'all are a bunch of overdramatic gossipy bitches who like to turn everything into a bigger thing than it is and will literally change the facts of the story to feed your bullshit internet outrage.
Shit, if it was Loy's car, I fucked up and was wrong about which tire got stabbed. This doesn't change the original story of: "Clint Walker assaulted Raven Tershy over a tire".
The logical thing would have been to say: "Hey man, you need to pay us to fix the problem you just created".
Ronald Wilson.... you do realize you are justifying a fellow skater attacking another skater because the skater who got hit didn't get sent to the hospital. That's like saying: "Oh, that dude shot at me with a gun, but he missed, so it's all good".

I want to like Clint Walker and fully appreciate the talent he has on a board, but when you do something fucked up off the board, that's going to stick with me. I was hoping he would redeem himself in the interview Thrasher posted to go along with the clip, but he pretty much just said: "I wish that didn't happen, I said sorry and I don't even think about it anymore". Doesn't seem like much reflection or acceptance of overreacting to something so trivial.
He's not alone in this thought process. How many times have you been with someone who does something fucked up to someone, but they act like they played no role in the process? I'm sure we can all relate to not accepting our fault in the situation.
Side rant:
Needless to say, these forums hold power. I can't help but see this every time they are referenced in a negative light. Sure, fucked up opinions float around from time to time but this is the last remaining resource out there where we can continually discuss shit that happens in the skateboarding industry with relevance.
If you come here expecting a bunch of clones agreeing with one another about how rad everything about skateboarding is, you have come to the wrong place.

What people do off the board makes you not like them? Kinda like your campaign to bring heat to Soma park over pissing, which could have led to it being shut down? Being the point man for news reporters who want somebody who skates to talk shit about what other skateboarders do? Get off your high horse, kook. You are one of the shittiest people who posts on here, yet you moralize constantly as if we should all aim to be just like you. Come back when you don't have personal campaigns to shut down popular skate parks
The idea that he "could have" sent dude to the hospital when he clearly didn't is fucking stupid. It actually proves my point more. Could he have hit him hard enough and in a spot which sent him to the hospital? Sure. Did he do that? nah.

That's a much more valid point. The idea of "don't bother homeless people when you skate" is actually an accurate and fair criticism, whereas a lot of people are blowing it up and bullshitting like he burnt the dude's tent down and shot him while he escaped the flames. If the original story pisses you off, stick with it, don't try to make it something its not.

My campaign to shut down Soma park... yep. That's my goal dude. Kill the skatepark I helped lobby for.
I know this conversation has drifted off topic, but if anyone is wondering.... I filmed the puddles of piss that fellow skaters were creating in the corner of a skatepark. Turns out the city was ignoring cleaning that shit up and instead they were focusing on buffing all the graffiti. The city ignored my requests to clean that area for months, so I did it myself, made a video of the work that went into it, and asked skaters to stop pissing inside the skatepark.
The video got shared by a ton of skaters who backed the idea. A news agency saw the video, asked what they could do to help, and helped bring the issue to the attention of the city who in turn started cleaning up the piss and installed a porta-potty. I'll leave that up to you to decide whether or not that makes me a kook.
Back to Clint Walker, dude is one of the most talented cats on a board and that part was amazing. Hope to see some peace made between him and Raven down the road.

gnarly dude, gnarly part, but ill never like him

that wasn't directed specifically at the forum. A few nights ago I was drinking and watching clips with some friends and suggested checking out Clint's raw footage since I hadn't gotten round to it. Everyone just started whining about how he's a jock, and when we finally watched it people were hesitant to acknowledge the gnar, which I thought was undeniable. I also thought it was creative, stylish, and unpredictable. But yeah in all honesty he does seem like a dickhead in interviews and stuff.
I love the overly opinionated, nit picking discussions that go on here. Just adding my thoughts. Keep hating haters, and I'll keep hating on the hate!

Wow a lot of you boys need a kiss on the lips and some chocolate... eveeeeeerrrrryyyyyybooooodddddyyyyyyy chilllllllll outtttt ooooo nnnnnn thhhe clinnttt walkkkkker blahhhh blahhh blahhhh
A lot of people act like they never make mistakes, holy shit!
Let’s get back to discussing the skating!!! Dude RIPS
-
he seems like the kind of guy that would snort crank of a homemade bowie knife. and i mean that in the most complimentary way possible.
the skating and personality come from the same place. you cant have one without the other. hes not the first nor will he be the last skater to be a little nutty. i think hes going to age well, like a fine AVE.
