Most Cringey Skater Freakouts

I saw Mike York skate one of the big Euro contests once, must have been 2000 or 2001 or so.

He totally fucked up his run and then threw the biggest temper tantrum I have seen in my life, both skaters and non-skaters in my life, and 20 years later still remains unsurpassed.

He focused his board, then walked for iirc for about 10 minutes around the stadium, cursing, screaming, smashing his board (or at least what was left of it) on the floor or throwing it against walls.

All this while at least 8000 skaters (also many kids and parents) were watching, I saw a mother with a couple of young kids (8 - 9 years old probably) leave the stadium.

People would probably now say it was "cringe" but I felt bad for him, he always struck me as a fun loving, easy going kind of guy.

In the light of recent events, at least the crowd didn't make fun of him.

He must have been walking around with yayo all up in his nasal and must have been crazed, yo.

Could be, I didn't pay too much attention to him before his meltdown. For real, who's going to watch Mike York when dudes like Reynolds, MJ, Penny, Rowley, Saari, Koston, Salabanzi, Creager, Boulala and many more are killing it on the course too?

I remember watching a rough cut of Austyn Gillette's part and couldn't stand it.
That and Gravette

It's called bioenergetics and they are just letting go of trapped emotion. Trauma release. Soooo... yeah. Food for thought.

Is the video of David Loy spitting at someone then getting thrown down the bank and crying gone forever? I remember seeing it 10 years ago and it was hilarious

[OldSkater]

since this has devolved into people posting freakouts both cringe and non-cringe im gonna mention Ishod. I love to see him flip out and throw his board for some reason.

Jani Laitiala at the end of his part in the 2009 bLind video.

Fuck 12, Mickey Pappa

I was at a skatepark this saturday and some dude spent a solid 2 hours trying to film himself 360 flip down a skatepark bank like it was a set of stairs (maybe the equivalent of an 8 stair). He was clearly just hucking himself with zero chance of ever landing it, but he kept yelling every time he fell. It was noon, so the place was filled with kids, and there's this dude screaming "FUCK YOU!!! GOD DAMMIT" every 5 minutes right in the middle of everyone. Everyone around couldn't help but laugh at how serious he was about a trick he was never going to land that he could have easily taken to a nearby school/church/park and it would have looked 10x more legit.

Then a blind guy showed up and started skating the mini ramp, some ledges, and the stairs and the dude chilled out.

Honestly, I can't exactly justify AVE acting how he does, but I enjoy how he sometimes freaks out so ferociously that it's like he's trying to focus whatever might be focusable within reach sometimes, like a road sign, or a metal barrier, or a fence, or what have you.

great value kerry getz

I'm surprised they used this song after Consolidated used it in Behold and it had to be in at least one other video prior to Fully Flared.

This definitely isn't the most cringe-inducing, but I've always loved the intro to AO's Fully Flared part.

His freakout in Cherry is worse. Like, he's a grown man trying to pull an older man off a curved rail cuz he can't skate the spot. Growing up in an urban setting, you are used to crazy people doing shit in public spaces, but it only really becomes a worrying issue when they start acting aggressively to random people.

I'd totally forgotten about that, but you're right. It was so juvenile and unnecessary.

now be fair he did fuckin ask nicely

[Billy Bitchcakes]

Gravette, always wins...anyone have a link to him at Andy Macs skatercross course or whatever the fuck?

EDIT: found it:

I've definitely seen a video of that full session of Gravette trying the trick over that gap and he's going absolutely fucking mental. It's pretty funny to watch but I can't find it anywhere since I first saw it. Pretty sure it was on facebook or something the first time.

[LostBearings]

Watched a skate vlog out of curiosity about a year ago and the dude was trying a trick and got super heated during a solo sesh.. I'm assuming he edits his own footy since he films himself but he voluntarily included his moments of severe frustration. I guess you gotta showcase the ups and downs of skating but I got second hand embarrassment.

This guy screams modern day skater…

This guy screams modern day skater…

man, I'd forgotten about that.

a couple of takeaways here:

1. He did a flawless undressing of himself under the cover of that duvet.
2. Did her try and put a tv remote all up in his bum hole?
3. The sheer joy on his brothers face is amazing.
