No way he's riding Ricta in that clip, they would have flatspotted in a hurry.

Dude is repping powerful East Coast skating in 2021, carrying on the legacy of Donny Barley and Aaron Suski.

East coast has produced a crazy amount of powerhouses. Maldonado, Huf, Sheffy and Reese Forbes. All those dudes just float.

Dewey from Malcolm in the Middle grew up so damn fast

[IUTSM]

I have never been more proud of my heritage. Kid is unreal.

For real. Super hyped to watch this. I remember seeing him skate parks when he was littler and seeing it all since kinda just keeps getting better.

I saw him skate at the Mattapoisett, MA skatepark in the late 2000's and he ollied up and gapped the benches like nothing. No set up time whatsoever.

That's such a crummy little park too. Hell ya

Did you mean to post this in “jokes that were barely funny 10 years ago” thread.  It fit nicely next to anyone in 2021 making a durao/Jon snow comparison

I wish he was old enough to skate our shithole indoor in Wareham when it was open way back in the day. Fortunately for him He missed that chaos by a couple years. I enjoyed watching footage of him skating Plymside diy this past summer. He can destroy anything.

What town is that fountain in?   Place looked lovely

[michael scarn]

I feel like Brandon got passed over or just chose some shitty sponsors. It seems nb is taking care of him and that's awesome but Element is a terrible place for him. And how is this man on Ricta. I feel like he would be such a good fit on Real or even Toy Machine but at this point it's just not in the stars.

Can’t explain Ricta, but Element makes sense as he seems to make moves on what provides more stability financially/career-wise than image enhancing.   I’m sure the Donny Barley connection doesn’t hurt either

[stephop]

When he got smoked on the tow in was gnarly. That 360 he floated over the bank grass gap was beautiful.

Magnificent

[Chris Partlow]

Amazing part never disappoints

It’s in the north end of Boston

yooo! that Wareham park was super fun when I was a kid. My buddy had his learners permit and would take his dad's truck when he was out fishing so we could get to that spot. I remember seeing Shetler ollie over a rail there (I think there was a rail on the box) and being super stoked ha ha ha then we got Edge in 02 and that was a wrap

[Chris Partlow]

508 is central mass so i'm guessing it wasn't any boston [617] or we'd recognize spots. the tailslide 270 flip out is at jack kerouac plaza in lowell. the rest of it is stuff nobody else can skate. really dug the quick ups to 50-50 the bump to bar in the beginning. just a different way to skate a spot. the manny pads preceding it would skate stop it to most of us.
any cape cod pals know tell us the area code out there? maybe this was classic cape footage?

508 is the cape cod/south coast/ south shore area code. Most of the spots are around Boston and the north shore

[Lloyd Braun]

This was so tight, Westgate kills it. Lots of ill spots too I've never seen before.

[PlugSkullcandy]

Damn that was heavy.
Great edit too

(The pool cover walk stressed me a bit.)

What/where are the north shore tricks?   I haven’t lived there in like 20 years but I’m keen to see spots there that I never knew about

[BugleBites]

Hell yeah - I've missed this guy's skating. Always so good. The massive ollie into the fountain to front 360 out really was amazing.

[Reed Richards]

This was excellent and now I want some of those shoes.

[beatifk]

Beautiful Video.

508 used to be all of eastern mass except for Boston. I think it changed in the late 80s and it was split into more area codes so... maybe they're using some poetic license here.

[bob george]

legendary. so, so, so classic is his skating. loved it! short enough to watch just before walking out the door for a skate too. i've missed him!

I think we might be talking about two different places.. I am referring to the big blue building that had the indoor bmx track and the skate "park" upstairs.

[KoRnholio8]

watched it 3x already and it gets better every time

that nollie flip is all-time ... imagine how good that would feel to land, basically ready for another pop right after

I know mason goes hard, but that westgate has that bit of spice in his style that mason doesn't

[doublesteveburger]

westgate became goat to me when he told leo, “I don’t give a fuck what you think” when he was clowning his body kit on an early emerica trip

[Beeda Weeda]

he's an absolute classic.

I probably have a few years on you.. I believe it was original rented out by Sean the owner of Scarecrow (skate shop in Plymouth way back) It wasn't much but it had the perfect bank ramp to dial shit in before playing with the big boys at Maximus or 8-ball. Anyhow Westgate is incredible.

[Deputy Wendell]

yet another confirmation of why he is an all-time favorite

yes to most of what's been said in this thread (that rhymed) thus far, but i will also always love this kind of simple yet timeless gnarliness right here--how it is shot as much as the power and style in your boy's execution...
