Imagine skating like that.

Unbelievable skater. Can just do whatever it seems.

he can do anything he wants. im jealous

Jeez, just that first trick. That rail is tall! Improbable skills.

Goddamn Franky rules. Hope his pops is doing better these days.

Said it before but the guy is just the most unsuspecting freak talent. If you watch his early youtube videos that he uploaded himself youll see how good he was at like age 12 and he has never stopped getting better.

As I get older I find myself having a hard time getting that same excitement from watching skate videos. Something about this incredibly gifted weirdo going fast and destroying shitty spots with strange tricks just gets me geeked all over again. Thankful for the guy.

It’s like the entire history of street skating-every era for the last 35 years-rolled up into one goofy lookin’ little dude.

Just incredible.

Some favorite bits:
90 mile backside flip after water slide shenanigans
Bennet to barley
Fakie flip tail 270 “I did something”
Terrifying switch back heel at the gap over the handicap sign
Quick flick to endless float on the last trick

Also lots of sessioning spots and finding a trick/line

Good shit my dudes

The way that the last fs flip over the rail the hard way catches is the best thing ever. Franky is on his own level!

loved the fakie flip tail tricks, so refreshing to see this guy skating, just insane raw talent

I watch the whole gif just so I can see the few frames of that casual crooked left arm and relaxed hand on rollaway.

This dude might be one of the most naturally gifted skaters ever

Murge · « **Reply #11 on:** May 12, 2021, 06:03:38 AM »

After watching this I came to realization that Franky is my current favorite skater and he’s a treasure that can do no wrong. The weirdo “I do what I want “no cares in the world ,easy going ,have fun attitude is a breathe of fresh air. When everyone is so contrived trying so hard to be cool.

Does anybody know how wide his board is? Anyways, the guy is amazing.

exlurker · « **Reply #13 on:** May 12, 2021, 07:15:10 AM »

He skates like someone who got one wish from a Genie, and he wished to be able to do anything on a skateboard.

sharkin · « **Reply #14 on:** May 12, 2021, 08:04:47 AM »

you can literally pan anywhere in that video and find something mindblowing within a clip or two

It looks like he mostly skates his egg shape which is 9.125. I feel like his parts genuinely shock me. I never know what’s coming next. I also like how when he shoots out towards the camera he always says “oh my bad” while he’s still falling like it’s his top priority. Seems nice and is amazing to watch. Definitely one of my favorites right now.

Christmas Complete · « **Reply #16 on:** May 12, 2021, 08:45:58 AM »

Yeah, this guy is incredible. Glad to have a part of his drawn out so you can really see how he skates. Like Murge said, he might be my new favorite skater.

9.125 egg shape I believe.

Franky is one of the few skaters that I would be happy to watch skating about for hours on end. The fact that he tries to land everything regardless of how sketch it might turn out and then bails so effortlessly when it does go wrong is something that a younger me could have done with learning from the start.

Fly_Hoenn · « **Reply #20 on:** May 12, 2021, 10:14:11 AM »

I could watch this guy skate for hours. He is just too good and makes everything look unique.

jay_nev · « **Reply #21 on:** May 12, 2021, 01:30:45 PM »

Already one of my favorite parts of the past year, this is a treat.

Mongey · « **Reply #22 on:** May 12, 2021, 03:23:11 PM »

That was great. The whole thing flew by.

He is such an anomaly. Looking at his build you would never think he was so fucking good and agile.

That's the best part. He's built like one of those Jonah Hill - type kids that loves skateboarding but never had the athleticism for it... except instead of just sitting out on the side of the park hanging, he rips everything hard as fuck.
Total dark horse, it's so awesome.

Owen · « **Reply #24 on:** May 13, 2021, 12:21:35 AM »

I've always been iffy on this guy. Never really dug his style or trick selection but I'm sold after this. Undeniable skills.

Kickflip over the rails when so good. Love seeing how hard he got worked for some of these tricks too

KoRnholio8 · « **Reply #25 on:** May 13, 2021, 01:16:17 AM »

franky just seems like a such an oddball, not a PRO skateboarder type at all. but deep down you know you'd have so much fun sessioning with him if you could even skate and not just watch him kill everything around him.

Perfectly put.

Franky has grown on me over time and nowadays is one of my all-time favorite skateboarders. I come back weekly and watch his footy repeatedly.

cliff · « **Reply #28 on:** May 14, 2021, 01:36:47 PM »

I just had lunch with him. He is seriously the nicest most genuinely humble human I've ever met. He's true blue collar. I've been a huge fan of his for a solid 8 years and he just keeps blowing my mind.

From what he told me there is going to be a lot more stuff coming out this year. We are all going to be stoked on it!

Shalom

Another great part from him..sloppy sketchy yet somehow so smooth.

He must have STACKS of those orange and black wheels (unless it's stacked footie).
