I saw Mike York skate one of the big Euro contests once, must have been 2000 or 2001 or so.

He totally fucked up his run and then threw the biggest temper tantrum I have seen in my life, both skaters and non-skaters in my life, and 20 years later still remains unsurpassed.

He focused his board, then walked for iirc for about 10 minutes around the stadium, cursing, screaming, smashing his board (or at least what was left of it) on the floor or throwing it against walls.

All this while at least 8000 skaters (also many kids and parents) were watching, I saw a mother with a couple of young kids (8 - 9 years old probably) leave the stadium.

People would probably now say it was "cringe" but I felt bad for him, he always struck me as a fun loving, easy going kind of guy.

In the light of recent events, at least the crowd didn't make fun of him.


He must have been walking around with yayo all up in his nasal and must have been crazed, yo.

I can't find the clip but Austin Seaholm focusing his Tampa trophy while on the course was pretty sick
The account that hosted the video was terminated but the GIF lives on


EDIT: Some context, straight from the man himself
i had the most consistent run of any skater at that conest. landed every trick in my run and was doing more tech stuff. i get that Tony was skating fast as hell and that it was impressive but i could've done all of that. mad political shit goes on at SPOT and i wasnt that tight with many of the influential dudes there so felt like the contest wasnt judged fairly. throwing the trophy was immature as fuck but if you apply street league rules or really any standard contest rules to my runs i should've won. tony won because of his image. not to take anything away from tnt he fuckin rips but i shouldve won that damn contest.

2nd vote would be for PJ. sometimes it is a fine command of the english language to say nothing and he extended that to skating. PJ's plan B part is the emperor's new clothes.

I remember being full of myself snowboarding, trying to float a bs 3 indy over the biggest jump in the park around 94 (so not that big, haha).

I took it so seriously, and although I floated a nice one that people cheered, I didn’t get the grab and made a big display of how pissed off I was that I could have done better, taking off my board and acting like a big baby.

I felt so wierd, that I forced that performance, basically for my audience, that I resolved never to do that again.

Soon after I learned to laugh at my mistakes, the more embarrassing, the bigger the laugh. It’s helped me a lot and made my whole experience much more enjoyable.

I have a similar snowboarding story:
I was a cocky sponsored skateboarder in 97’ who never snowboarded before in my entire life. 30 minutes in, and halfway down the pro slope eating shit and cussing the whole way down, I took the board off my feet and the board got away from me. I subsequently chased the board down the whole rest of the slope yelling “watch out!!” “Incoming board!!” to all the parents and children in harms way. I never snowboarded again.

A few years ago at an indoor park this kid I know kept messing up on switch heels on flat and eventually erupted screaming "I'M A STREET SKATER"! (in his case, the streets were an outdoor park)

Disagree, those freakouts are pure pathos. The dude was missing skateboarding so bad that he was willing to skate switch to accommodate a knee injury, filming an impressive part and enduring those slams in the process.  That part is, to borrow a phrase, a love letter to skateboarding from one of its favorite sons. Nothing cringey about that, imo.

yes to the above, "pure pathos" indeed...i never know whether to worry or laugh (or both) when i see and hear this

This definitely isn't the most cringe-inducing, but I've always loved the intro to AO's Fully Flared part.

If he doesn’t act like he’s about to throw his board, he faces the camera and grabs his junk, or turns away and spreads his butt. Fascinating.

It’s just skateboarding, people. Sure I’ve been frustrated while skating, but in all my years I’ve never even considered throwing or breaking my board. I do this for fun, and if it’s not fun anymore I try a different trick or stop skating for the day. I don’t act like a child.

Yeah, it’s almost as though for a pro it’s their job and livelihood, and for you it is not.

Nothing hits like a board that won’t focus after hours of behaving like a diaper baby.

I used to be that kid when i was young and immature
I get mad still for sure, its super rare, but never to the point of breaking a board, i think i did that once when i was 16 and thats probably the only time i did it

It is frustrating when it seems like you know you can do something in your mind for sure but there is just some small part not working out exactly how you need it to. anything that isnt just riding around for the most part and doing straight ollie on requires so much precision in often a non ideal environment. so of course its easy to get mad when you try something a billion times and its just not working.

i think it is best to focus on staying safe and if the trick doesnt happen today it wasnt meant to be and i am okay with not getting the clip. it is better to live to fight another day and try it again / different spot

i really look up to people who seem to never get rattled by negativity. keeping a positive attitude throughout many failed attempts. dont complain or shit talk people. never get so mad that theyd even show it

at least the gravette one above is justified, trying the same kink rail for hours or days would be brutal. But raging over a fun little no comply flip line and some of the "fun" tricks he's doing in this is brutal.

I never try hard enough to get mad. I guess. I’m my own boss and if I can’t make the thing happen at that moment I’m not gonna get mad. I’m gonna chill. Go try something else cuz that’s gotta be more fun then getting mad. Also the skateboard is a friend. Maybe even a best friend for life kinda thing. Who beats their friend up like that?

I always thought AVE in the beginning of the DC video was a bit cringe, especially when he's hitting his board against the pole repeatedly. But then he made up for it with that fucked up part.

For some people it's a part of the process. I love melt down footy, especially when they get it. Like Gravette with that kinked rail. That shit is beyond gnarly and you're risking life and limb so whatever it takes to get you in the zone.
