Franky Villani's "One Big Mess" Part

[chris.]

Great part, pretty good mix of wildness and some legit bangers! Slightly too many combos and weird tricks for my taste, starts feeling a bit exhausting. Find myself surprised of how good he is almost after every trick, for some reason my brain doesn't want to accept that someone who looks like him could be such a talented and stylish skater

This nicely puts into words my feelings as well. It almost makes something like a switch flip/switch heel (his are beautiful) or a tasteful fs noseslide in a line stand out that much more too?

those chubby comments from the interviewer were weird and kind of a bummer. The kid just put out a crazy part and one of the first thing they say is "So you are a bit fat aint you ahaha". I never read thrasher so maybe it's always that bad. And the guy seems to have cool interests in films and music and all. Could have go a bit deeper into that. Anyway the part is still dope, seems like a cool guy to hang out with also. His versatility on the board is wild

yeah brought up fat kid like 3 times wtf was that. Uncalled for. Franky seemed to handle it well. Enjoyed the rest of the article and the zero/enjoi/primitive situation

Are ya'll offended for him? Burnett didn't even come at him too hard or anything, or say he's currently fat (even alluded the opposite with the "former heavyweight" caption), just asked for perspective as learning to skate as a fat kid. It's a legitimate topic. There's a lot of bigger kids out there that think they can't skate because of their build compared to your typical skinny, "athletic" looking skater, so I think it's cool they address it. Franky can inspire those people through that conversation.

Between him and Foy, NB# is putting on the big boys and I'm all here for it. Love to see it.

I'm also in the not body shaming group. If it was Big Brother, I would have expected it to be brought about offensively. Instead, it's brought up as a matter of fact. I'm actually glad they addressed it as a consequence of culture/upbringing. Leaving it out would have been a disservice to other kids who don't look like all the other pros. Good for them for getting into it.

Franky is proper pro.

Nice to see a thick boy killing shit once in a while. He should do a truffle shuffle grind.

[QixHexagon]

Consistent as fuck, he went over and over some tricks just because he didn't like how he landed them.

[Lin Thizzy]

Really enjoyed this part and the raw cut just added to my love for it.
Franky went to work for that ender and the make was so proper.
Imagine the feeling of rolling away from that one...
Fuck yea Franky!!

Did that Bennett grind to switch Barley grind make it into the part?  As a general proposition I do not like those tricks even separately, but by God Frankie makes it look like magic stringing them together like that.

Had to rewatch that one a couple of times. So good.
