he actually is pretty legit, although there is too much cumorama footage in here for me
For a message board that consumes so much skate media I have no idea how anyone here can watch this part and think he has any legitimate shot at skateboarding as a career. I'm genuinely confused by how many people have said that. Credit where credit is due he has a huge bag of flatground tricks, but that's literally it. Almost this entire part is flip tricks down 3 stairs. Flip trick on flat or up/down a curb then flip trick down a 3. I just re-watched this to make sure I wasn't insane. Other than flip tricks on flat or on very small sets of stairs he has pretty much nothing else.
First line is noseslide a ledge, back tail a ledge, impossible off a curb, heel flip up a curb, tre on flat, ollie a ledge, kickflip a 5 stair. Not a bad line and I think he did it well, but that's definitely not pro level skating. And that's not nitpicking and judging the whole part by the opening clip, I genuinely think that's the best clip in this part by far. Next clip halfcab heel off a ledge then back 3 kickflip down a 2 or 3 (the way it's filmed it's tough to tell).Next clip ollie up a ledge pressure flip off, then fs bigspin on flat. Next clip frontside flip up a two stair (I think?) then sw tre down the same thing. Next clip fs 50-50 impossible out on a ledge and then back lip on a ledge.
Another clip in here where he does a bad back smive-o on a bench, back 3 a little grate, nollie back heel on flat, and then sw ollie a 5 or 6. Impossible up a small ledge nollie late flip off of it? Of the clips that aren't solely flip tricks down 2-4 stairs or off a ledge, he does a regular crook then back tail kickflip on another. Nollie tre on flat and then a pretty bad kickflip crook on a bench. Bigflip on a slightly declined runup and then a rocketed sw heel down an 8? And after he landed it he's celebrating like he just did it down El Toro.
This is not skate for a check level skating, and not even close. I'm happy for him if he can make a living skate youtubing, but what legitimate company is going to put him on and pay him for these type of clips? Am I going insane? Have I completely lost it? I like low impact skating but this part is just not very good, and certainly not "why isn't this guy properly hooked up?" good.
