What part are you picking for your Thrasher “Classics”?

[jakeumms]

Thrasher took down Jeremy Klein's Asian Goddess part so I'd bring that one back.

If they refuse I'd just pick my second favorite JK part, Tracker Trucks Stacked

https://www.thrashermagazine.com/articles/videos/classics-jeremy-klein-asian-goddess/

I think they took it of YT due to music rights. I only knew it was still up because I looked last night on both sites to see what all they had even done as classics at this point.

[VHS ERA]

Andrew Reynolds in Stay Gold. Does that count as a classic yet? It came out 10 years ago.

Yes. Probably my choice too. In my intro I would ramble emotionally about it being the magnum opus of arguably the GOAT skate career, the story arc of Drew’s life and getting sober and skating harder than ever despite the unrelenting sands of time, fully giving in to the “madness” and redoing every trick until it was just how he wanted it. *Thrasher cuts off the camera as I’m sobbing explaining how many times I watched his part in The End*

[DA BIG BODY BENZ]

 besides the terrible intro this part is really good imo, cannon fucking rips for a bigger dude. not to mention the credit he deserves for doing all this in those shitty ass world industries shoes

[codymacfan]

For the sake of my username, this part... (which I actually do love). My short blip: "Cody won Tampa Am '06 in an XXL white t-shirt and then dropped this absolute banger of a part in 2008. 2 NBD's on Carlsbad. Lynyrd Skynyrd. Last part. 'Nuff said."



Other choice is this Russ Milligan part, purely because when I first watched it, I didn't know his stance until he pushed switch mongo on one line and I was amazed. An actual switch god. Song is amazing too.



Quick edit: A part I actually think would end up on Classics is Mike Mo's Forecast part.

That FESN jawn is sick. Last part should have or be winning awards. Also yer other two pics are very nice.

CK1 Beware of Sasquatch

[urbneathme]

i wanted to pick one that nobody would ever consider, besides the terrible intro this part is really good imo, cannon fucking rips for a bigger dude. not to mention the credit he deserves for doing all this in those shitty ass world industries shoes

something about having a slayer tattoo that close to a descendents tattoo made me laugh really hard

[chris.]

That’s just one bad wheel though.


The noseslide pop out on the blue ledge is maybe my favorite trick ever filmed. And the front noseslides, some great switch tres, the Lakai Carroll’s at 3rd & Army, when that fucking piano starts at the beginning. Damn.

Brent Atchley Elementality.

[close]

For me, I was gonna say this or Dressen's Speed Freaks part

[close]

Alright, as someone pointed out, I didnt do an intro. Here it is:

Hey guys, BBB here, for my classic part I chose Brent Atchley's Elementality part. This video was a joke for the most part and I only saw it because my girlfriend's friend's Mallrat BF had a copy. Anyhow, he puts it on and this was the first I'd seen of Brent. Now, I'm not a park skater but Brent's style and fun factor can't be denied. That line in the beginning when he lets the board float up as he pushed over that little funbox really set the tone, and it wasn't even a trick really. People always say if you could skate like this dude or that dude.... Brent would be my pick. Damn shame we didn't get more of him. Little shifty olly down the ramp dock, crazy snapped 360 flips with his back foot kicking his own butt, Burnside carnage, etc.... what else do you want?

I choose Brent's part because what he said minus the girlfriends friends bf. Dressen in Speed Freaks because it was such an incredible ATV part, esp for the time. And Dressen's style is eternal

[Molte]

Came to post this!
If I should add a speech, it's simply the part I return to the most.

Garret Hill - New Blood

Crazy how everyone skates like this now

He originated the whole pop out mid-ledge thing, didn’t he? Wenning always gets the shine for doing it first but Fowler had it years prior. Man, he’s also super short. Like David Reyes short.

[close]

Yep, sick pop outs check the blunt slide at .38 to me that’s best example of one to date
The no comply to fakie 5-0 is right up there, too
He’s got a few good parts

Damn that was gold. No comply down the stairs to start the line was tight.

Always had a soft spot for Syndrome distribution companies (DNA, Status, Hellrose, INC, Silver), never great at branding but they made excellent boards.

[KBizzle]

Brent Atchley's part definitely was ill and deserves any praise it gets.

[Shuh]

Anthony Papalardo-Fully Flared i want the master copy from Ty, all i ever seen its bootleg quality fully flared.

[matty_c]

Yeah they had some sick ones!

[Atiba Applebum]

I’d pick Dane Brady’s polar part where he skated to The Cry, but if I was gonna skew a little more obscure I’ll pick this part which was the most recent thing that got me stoked.

[matty_c]

I see one Peter Hewitt part (which was pretty amazing) but was wondering if anyone had thought about people like:

Wade Speyer

John Cardiel

Dan Drehobl


The ATV annihilation army from the real classics era.



A not so old one is TNT, but I guess even Tony Trujillo is considered old nowdays.

That was a dece era, people hate tnt these days and going of shit you hear he’s blowing it but fuck that was a sick part, free your mind was a good one
That ramp maybe it was shaafs it looked like fun

[PlugSkullcandy]

At first I was a bit disappointed : lots of bails, the part is quite short and as a Hsu fan.... but then I remembered Jerry’s stance and I realized the whole part was switch.

Also this is the part that doesn’t embellish being a pro, all the bails / battles / temper tantrums at the beginning are not glamourized, you can see the guy is on the edge, he’s falling like a rag doll and seems exhausted by skateboarding.

[EastKremer]

JJ in Mindfield because that wallie to fs tailside is still my favorite trick of all time

[Big Baby Jesus]

This is big baby jesus and I had a really hard time picking one part. Ricky in EE3, HUF in Penal Code, aaron Herrington or JJ in static IV were all contenders but my favorite part that gets me hyped to skate is Scott Johnson in Mad Circles Let The Horns Blow. Skating is timeless and the song choice is perfect.

[coldbrew]

This never ceases to get me stoked to go skate.

[DannyDee]

They'd never put this one up. This is peak Carroll, and that first line is ridiculous. Plus, the guest tricks are amazing.

[Mantracker]

Thought about it more and I know I'm probably going to get flamed for this but my real answer is Tyshawn in Blessed. It's just too good of a part and every time I watch it I feel the same way as I did when it came out. Not too many other parts will do that for me.

[Atiba Applebum]

Is Scott Johnston’s 180 to switch crooks the trick of the video?   It has my vote

Dan Peterka H-Street Next Generation

I enjoy this

Probably, although BA's bs tail of the UCI Hubba was fucked.

I don’t know how to say this because the guy’s an amazing skater and his accomplishments are very impressive. But some people, him being one, just make me pro skateboarding isn’t really a good thing. I remember when Nyjah cracks his head in that Nike part trying a switch front feeble at Hollywood High and my first thought was - is this worth it? And why have an industry that encourages people to break themselves so they can do slightly harder tricks than the last guy who skated that spot?  I’d be stoked enough on Jerry’s lower impact skating.

[Frank]

jerry's part gave me depression, seriously. i mean it's a great part in its way, but i just thought "dawg, you didn't have to do this, why are you doing this to yourself? plz stop. it's all good."

the raw files are basically skatemasochist porn.
