Jake Ilardi's "Coastal Concrete” Part

[Olympus Mons]

bigflip back tail bigspin was held for so long. Bummer he didn't lock in to his clipper tricks the same way

[gsosa]

Why do these guys always have the scrappiest, blandest filmers? Felt like I was watching a slideshow. Genuinely neauseating.

I feel like its the music. This part was next level fucked up but the music made it feel so dull. Mad props to Jake Ilardi mad hate towards his brother that killed the edit

[Style Police]

Insane trick and execution. Barely made the rotation.

[maxi-pad]

woah, this dude fucks

That was insane
Dude should have his name on a board. Kick the other pros off, except for TJ and Nassim, and reboot the company

He’s been pro for a bit.

Oh word!
Their team page needs some updating...

Everything about Blind needs updating. Pretty sick part though.

Their pro model system is a little weird. Sora Shirai got a pro board last year but doesn't get a board release regularly, probably a similar situation as Jake Ilardi. The pro models in rotation are for TJ, Maxham, Papa, Nassim and Cody Mac.

Just a little switch 360 flip lipslide on a handrail to throw into the middle of the part.

I feel a bit bad for injecting negativity since he obviously worked hard for this, however hammers thrown together just doesn’t make a part for me, especially if filming, editing, and the music are that lousy. He also has a bit of an energy drink pro vibe about him, and taking him to iconic spots for (admittedly insane) one-uppery doesn’t help. He is one of the skateboarders who I believe would seriously kick ass if taken under the wing by a proper mentor, but Bill Weiss ain’t it.

some strange editing going on here, but he can rip a 20 stair handrail and a vert ramp, so he's obviously amazing as fuck.

personally, I would choose the nollie flip fs board as the ender! I can't recall every seeing that one, so sick

i hate this trick, everytime it's done it looks awful, especially since 100% of them go back to regular

Bingo.

[Andrefosho]

Making his mark.

[Rasmus]

Damn there was some legit heavy shit in there! The last couple of tricks actually had a "hammer effect on me", where I was seriously surprised and amazed - I can't really recall having had that feeling for some years now (last one was maybe Oski's insane alley oop noseblunt slide)

I have to give it to blind for consistently having been able to pick up some crazy talented guys over the years (I would defend what if as in the top 10 - maybe 5 videos of that era) - even though they were already seen as pretty wack, when I began started skating (I actually think that the reaper logo has reached a level of retroness that make it less cringey than what it has been for the entire post 2000s)

Bingo.

Imagine if he stayed on primitive. Wonder what happened there.

[Sleazy]

way behind on this but that part was fucked. the vert line in the credits shows he could have had so many gnarly transition tricks thrown in but his street games too heavy to make room for them.

[layzieyez]

Blind has one hell of a roster right now.

This part had me muttering "holy shit" over and over during the last half dozen tricks.

I like this guys approach. Fast and fucked.
