Thrasher really has a hard on for spoiling Wallenberg clips on the contents page before the clip drops.

It’s crazy how many times they’ve done this. Joslin’s inward heel too I think.

And funny thinking back Bachinsky’s El Toro kf was a 9 frames a second in tws

This is literally how it has always worked. Run an article/photo in the magazine to make people want to watch the video.

Clicked on this topic thinking it was a joke.
So stoked for him, that had to have been a bucket list trick for him.  Seems like he has been on a warpath since the last mafia video, which I was also surprised by.
So inspiring! Definitely put a smile on my face and got me hyped.

i wish so badly that he had saved his kit from the day he did carlsbad, and wore it again for this.

[Allez_Jambon]

That shit is unbelievable. Dude is an inspiration coming back from all that he dealt with. Trick of the year, no fucking doubt.

came here to say the same thing. big respect. major shalom. ss tre and ss hardflip general.

also to chime in regarding thrasher publishing before the video, is it because nobody could keep quiet about something like this? ah thats a dumb statement. truthfully, i think i'd rather see the photo first, then the clip shortly after unless its the ender especially when the photo/sequence is more about the trick than the composition or the spot with a vibe separating the two. the video feels like a fuller experience than a still image, like i'd feel more satiated watching the porno than flipping through the magazine. im an idiot.

what the fuck!!! You gotta be out of your fucking mind to roll up to Wallenberg at that age.

Couldn't have been more than 10 tries given how similar that looked to his Carlsbad switch hardlfip. Anybody know?

3rd or 4th frame should be silhouetted on a board or tee or something.

4th or 5th would be amazing on a tee, can't decide which would be better tho

[Noble Experiment]

Commenting again four pages later to say I still don’t believe this. It can’t be real. I’m like that little kid that watched Jeremy Wray ollie that giant gap in the color video, I’m in disbelief of what I just saw.
If this doesn’t get him at least a SOTY nomination then there is no justice in the world.
That would be a gnarly enough trick for like a young gun to do, but the fact that Brandon Turner did it, at the age of 39, almost two decades after he first did it down Carlsbad, is really fucking with my head right now.

Damn

[CHONGO]

absolutely fucked

[Sk.A.T.A.N]

Yeah, to echo everyone else, this shit is bananas!
My brain can’t even compute this trick... TOTY.

I mean...trying to think of a trick there that easily compares and there's really nothing. Fuck.

Reynolds kickflipping Davis at 32 is the only thing comparable.

gallant kf bs noseblunt clipper at 32

[bob george]

not really adding anything to the conversation, but fuck yes! I've not clicked on this thread a few times for some reason assuming it was a hypothetical or a joke or something.

shorty's was the shit, brandon was/is the shit {for some reason his boardslide on a canoe/kayak/boat in guilty flashes through my mind at random parts of the day all the time - it's really not special, but it lives on}

boatslides aside, this is amazing! can't wait to see the video!

[Owen]

Holy shit. Lil B putting it down.

Also, hate to be the guy but it clearly says that he is 38 (not 39) in the caption

I can't even switch hardflip on flat.

I can't even switch hardflip on flat. 

have you tried it down a massive gap going full throttle? it seems to help

[Deekay]

Holy FUCK. This is so insane, I can't believe it...

[Gbeerme]

B deserves a pro shoe/color way of some sorts for his performance this year.  Last I remember he was unfortunately on Straye, but also thought Straye was dead so checked their site. Team:  JT, Antwuan, Dane, Winsdor, Ben Nordberg and Lem West..... Yikes.

[Harrison's Fjord]

amazing.would be sick if this was cover and toc. Also, love Elissa Steamer, but was the quote there really necessary?

[weregoingunion]

crazy shit. an inspiration to us all.

[elbarto]

Bananas. Kind of bummed at Thrasher constantly posting spoilers but as long as I don’t see the footage til the video comes out.... fuckin sung it and brung it, knew Lil B would come through:)

Lol I was excited and posting fast, did not see this. In my defense my source was Sk8mafias own website profile of him which I’m pretty sure had him 39

[Croquet temper]

This shit is biblical it’s so miraculous.

[Tyroneshoelaces]

I love everything about this.

Is he the first and only person to do the same trick down both Carlsbad and Wallenberg? I can't think of anyone else.

this is a really rad trivia question.  i think he is? 

[RCB3]

Updating my original post to say it looks like the video is now coming out on Tuesday rather than Monday according to Insta stories from the editor.

[kid casserole]

This has me gassed up, i'm gonna go fling my 35 y.o. ass down 4 maybe 5 stairs

For the record Wallenberg is only 4 stairs as well
