U sound like the reverse old white dude. Like just because you don’t like metal doesn’t mean they are a bad band. That’s like the equivalency of shitting on lil Wayne in rap music, like just cuz u don’t like rap music doesn’t mean Wayne is bad. I felt Wayne was a good comparison to lamb of god because they are a more popular metal group and Wayne is actually a legit good rapper.

Dude . .. leave the Raemers boardslide / lipslide alone . One upping a fallen soldier kinda shitty .

[honey island]

Considering David skates(skated?) for globe and Raemers rode for enjoi. Both under dwindle, wouldn’t be surprised if they were tribute tricks. Ben should have won soty with that part.^^^

... you have a really cute idea about the loving spirit of people vaguely associated through Dwindle Distribution

[Meekin]

Skatepark footy? no thanks

[Bristol_Palin]

He did a cool switch backside flip in the steep ditch. I feel like he used to do nollie frontside flips every once in a while. He should do those again.

[waltercronkite]

No

[DCLOVE]

Dwindle used to be pretty fucking tight knit back in the day, and a lot of kids groomed for dwindle during those periods knew each other because they grew up skating with each other. Dwindle back in the day was fantastic about getting young flow guys and getting them out there and meeting everybody. Dwindle really took a Powell like model in a lot of ways when dealing with their young riders, they want a professional image, and someone who can be a pro skater. They have always had the philosophy that all successful skateboarding companies have, and that is, groom them from the time they are young and mold them into what u want because people want the connection with them growing up, and if that company molds them into the style they want, well then it doesn’t look like the kid has a fake style, and it looks natural but also fits in with the team.

You know sometimes I see some shit on slap, and I’m just like bitch please. If u knew anything at all about Dwindle u would realize how fucking dumb your comment sounds. Now, I don’t know if David and Ben were tight, but both were soty contenders so they have a thrasher connection, and both were top 3 skaters for their respective brands for the same company in Dwindle, and Dwindle always kept those kids tight knit even if they rode for different companies underneath the hood. I’m just saying it’s a highly educated guess this was a tribute u fuckwad.

Does weedmaps have a mini mega?

[BacksideWallride]

That edit was fucking awful and incoherent. I love Lamb of God, they are my #1 favorite band. But their music should never be used in a skate video.

I found it reverse... David did some sick shit, the double tier ditch tricks were cool, made a skatepark look ok... While Lamb Of God suck and the singer basically killed a kid

I love metal. Lamb Of God are fucking terrible.

Does that make me a reverse reverse old white dude?

[stephop]

Frontside flip on the Mega was pretty bananas.

not sure what you're fishin for with this one.

otherwise, is david gonzalez kind of kitschy? yes. but in a world of skaters all wearing baggy pants, carhartt vests and 90's haircuts doing sketchy street manuals, we should embrace david gonzalez' authenticity and individuality.

Yes. But we should not embrace that shitty song.

[Bitter]

That kickflip lipslide might be one of the all-around worst clips in the history of skateboarding.

I watched that transition line at the 2 minute mark like it was the goddamn Zapruder film. I swear there’s an edit when the camera bumps the shoe.

Even if there's a connection, it would be both through riding for Volcom for years. Not some obscure Dwindle connection.

[swordtechnique]

Not really feeling this. The ender kickflip was legit though.

[NoComply180]

Don’t get all the hate here.

[Lord Viper Scorpion]

i like daveed, he seems like an upbeat dude whenever i read/see interviews with him

[Peter Zagreus]

Here for those spicy Vovert Vulva Vunquist clips

Aren’t you Canadian? That would just make you Canadian buddy.

[pbj]

seriously surprised how little people are mentioning the god awful filming.
the song is obvious, but this has to be some of the worst filming i've seen in a skate video this year.. borderline giving Ty Evans a run for his money.

i had to rewind the kickflip lip twice before realizing there was a flip in, let alone the dutch angle
half of the clips weren't framed even remotely well, initially i thought they had cropped the footage from an existing aspect ratio
the post-production digital zooms!! the disgusting wide angle stabilized shots.. horrible

[AitchBeeGayBuh]

The tricks he did in skips ditch impressed me... Just skated it today n to do a move on the first bank then into the other one is a lot harder than it looks.

What is a dutch angle?
