That’s how skateboarding works, idiot. It’s called progression. The most creative forge the way, then guys in Cariumas water it down until Jack Ogrady releases his next part.

Also why is Cariuma the devil while Phil Knight pay no income tax? You guys racist against Brazil or something?

Come on, it's not like the carwash is the sombrero or Third and Army, where you can see real ingenuity at work. Once a spot like that has logged a few tricks, there's practically nowhere left to go with it and the next obstacle awaits.  It will likely never be "creative" and won't be "progressive" after even two hard tricks get filmed there; it's literally jumping off of a roof into a scary, steep concrete retaining wall.  It's cool up to a point, but it reaches diminishing returns very quickly and is ultimately knuckle dragger stunt skating within the broader scope of things.   

Others have said what's wrong with Caruima, dumdum, and it has nothing to do with Brazil.

So fucking what.  A lot of us would rather see super heavy NBDs at insane spots than "progression" on small ledges.

Jesus, read the post I was replying to, that's the guy who was saying this uninspired spectacle was somehow "creative" and "progressive"; I was merely observing that skating off a roof ultimately comes down to skating off a roof.  If those types of stuntman antics are what you prefer in skateboarding, shalom, it takes all kinds. Personally, I like scary stunt skating just fine when it's done interestingly, but still think watching people hurl themselves down stairs or gaps or massive handrails isn't generally that interesting over the long term. And I don't give a shit about "progression," whatever that might mean by now, nearly as much as I do about seeing a variety of unfamiliar spots, or seeing familiar spots skated in unfamiliar or novel ways. 

tl;dr: Alex Midler type hammers are boring/forgettable, whereas a hammers-free type of dude like Max Palmer is interesting/memorable.  I actually forgot that Midler 360-ed the carwash until this video popped up and that was only a few months ago.
[close]
Doing something that has never been done on a heavy spot that anyone could have skated for decades is as progressive as swishy pant ledge tech NBDs, all day.  And yes, Max Palmer is absolutely memorable, but lets not pretend he is the standard bearer for progression, as no one else really skates like him.  Anyway, this unknown 15 year old is fucking rad, berrics or not.  And I don't know about "hammers" being boring or forgettable, everyone remembers most of the tricks done here/Wallenberg/Love/etc.

Just to test your theory, who besides Cardiel, Greco, Milton, Midler, and the Texan child has done tricks at the carwash?

Also, just to clear things up:

At one point the only people to hit this spot were Gonz and Cardiel. Then Greco. Pretty creative crew. Then no one for years until the current crop rediscovered it. My initial point still stands.

Gave her the old Jaws treatment (bring Dad/cry).

wow this is even more unfortunate than i thought.  i went back to analyze the make's ghost pop and i watched a little longer...the kid is really crying.

this is the most unfortunate clip of all time.  the only redeeming factor is that Midler must be a pretty nice dude to pretend like gave a shit about that trick at all....the look on his face when the kid hugs him crying is hysterical.

Fully agree.
The stigma about expressing your emotions as they come is stupid. And dangerous. Yeah, everybody's a tough cool guy all the time, but on the inside everything's crumbling down little by little, and at some point it's too late.
If you're clowning the kid for crying (neither did i watch the video, nor am i a fan of Midler), yet lamented on the tragic losses of Raemers or Gartland, for example, well, just take a moment of reflection.

And stepping to a spot that you know put out Milton is not simply anecdotal.

I'm stoked for the kid.

Miltons kickflip was insane but I would also like to see a regular skater kickflip into it, land at a slight angle then carve down, if that's even possible.

I would love to see somebody backside flip or switch backside flip into it.

If the bank was on the other side I bet Bastien could have cab flipped into it in his prime.

crying because your worldview is self-centered to the point you can't see outside of your accomplishments and place them into perspective is not remotely the same as dealing with clinical depression and struggles that come with it and the effort it takes to overcome them.

sorry if we don't see a kid getting overly emotional over how great he is in the same category as Ben Raemers dealing with his depression

this is the most unfortunate clip of all time.

Washed before even getting started?

Seriously though, I wish the kid all the best. What the fuck did I know at 15. Also wish I'd allowed myself to cry more often (if maybe not for Midler).

Fully agree.
The stigma about expressing your emotions as they come is stupid. And dangerous. Yeah, everybody's a tough cool guy all the time, but on the inside everything's crumbling down little by little, and at some point it's too late.
If you're clowning the kid for crying (neither did i watch the video, nor am i a fan of Midler), yet lamented on the tragic losses of Raemers or Gartland, for example, well, just take a moment of reflection.

And stepping to a spot that you know put out Milton is not simply anecdotal.

crying because your worldview is self-centered to the point you can't see outside of your accomplishments and place them into perspective is not remotely the same as dealing with clinical depression and struggles that come with it and the effort it takes to overcome them.

sorry if we don't see a kid getting overly emotional over how great he is in the same category as Ben Raemers dealing with his depression

You're right, it's of course not in the same category. That's not what I was trying to say, and that's why i said little by little. An accumulation of experiences. I have no clue from where other people's depressions might emerge, i am not even sure where mine comes from. I just think there is some kind of link there, and a little acceptance would be nice, even if not as cool.
Ok, the first thing i thought was "damn he didn't pop!", and then i thought that i wouldn't have popped any higher and i skate mainly small stuff these days.
In the end, he's still a kid (maybe also did he cry from the relief of the tension? i don't know), and i'm aging. And i won't pretend that i understand or appreciate seeing the new generations being self-centered so much.

There are many sides to everything, and i also acknowledge that reading some funny trash talk here on slap makes my days better in the end.

Serious question: is there history/footage of people skating it like a regular bank spot (ride up - trick - ride down)? I feel like I've seen clips of Gonz maybe skating it that way?

i actually really hope this happens because it would simultaneously be so wack and also undeniably risky.

Also Jesus he’s a 15 year old skate rat who did a trick at an iconic gnarly spot while someone who is probably his favorite pro watched, I think many teenage skaters would also cry in this situation. Nothing to do with his world view lmao

I'd be crying if I bailed a trick on that thing and got to walk away with no injuries. Give the kid a break. When I was 15 most kids were still hyping themselves up to hit an 8 stair.

I haven't been to LA in forever, but I did skate another car wash spot (believe it's called Downtown Car Wash, rather than Sunset Car Wash). It has smaller grindable banks along the sidewalk plus a little hip thing over a pillar which I believe Gonz has footage on.
