It's a bummer that more people aren't aware of him. Tony Hawk has a real knack for finding some hidden talent, but also there seems to be a curse where people stay on Birdhouse forever (which means in relative obscurity since they're not as popular as in THPS/The End era) once they get on.

I like Birdhouse, I just hope their pros make good money... I know it's Tony's company and he's loaded, but I don't know if he really throws his millions around paying his pros. I'm sure he treats them to a lot of cool trips and fancy dinners though.

I also had no idea of this guy. Think I got a bit confused between Shane Heyl and that redhead flying tomato guy.

I don't think a lot of the hate is warranted. Whilst the editing was a bit long at points, showing a few stacks did increase the intensity of the tricks and spots. I dug the originality of the skating. Odd ball but gnarly too.

Agreed that the 360 nosepress lost it's novelty by the end.

that could've been amazing. Dudes style and trick selection are both sick as fuck but that editing legitimately ruined it.

Yeah I fucking love opn and this song but would never want to see shawn hale skate to it lol.

Also that slappy switch crook to backlip shuv was disgusting, just looked like a poorly done switch back nosegrind to forwards

Not bad. Switch wallrides were fuckin bonkers

Part was weird though, and not really in a good way

That switch drop in wallride thing was insane

When is the last time any of you has even seen a Birdhouse board?  I imagine that someone must be buying them.  But who?

switch 5-0 in the deep end, the catch on the kickflip nose manual between bowls both had me in awe. song grows on you after a few watches.

This was a really standout part

I would imagine little kids are. Definitely never see them at shops... I would imagine they probably sell a lot of completes on Amazon Prime or something (didn't check, just have a gut feeling it seems like they would)
