Wack.
Used to be a fan in around 2010 or whenever magenta was new and still watch his part in microcosme but not a fan anymore.
Being in his mid thirties and pushing full speed thru crowds of people just to powerslide to slow down again. Heard claims he is as good as Lucas Puig but no evidence has ever been seen.
His cosplay mate is also very corny and basically the opposite of funny.

Tight. Just watch his part in Meanwhile. This video blew my mind when it came out and his skating was incredible.

His skating in front of a VX+MK1 looks tight, but HD or iphone is wack imo.

He's dope, but if I had to choose I'd rather be Puig.

Tight. I was also one of those people super into his skating in 2010. Still like his skating but he rarely does a perfect nollie flip going Mach 10 these days

Overall I’d say very tight. But it’s fun to not take that style too seriously

These made a big impact on me when those magenta edits were first coming out. I love how fast he skated and the flip tricks he did in the street at night in that Panic in Gotham edit. Sw flips, nollie heels, all hauling ass at night in busy traffic set against some Big L. At the time, the slides and things came off as just having fun, but I do think he's gone way too far in that direction.

@RichardBarkley for you!

Be warned, there are a lot of silly slides and things but honestly, I think he pulls it off/doesn't really overdo it in this one.

My favorite part of his at 6:40. Skating to Black Moon is so spicy.

Crazy you can be not very good at skating and film a full part in a few days if you skate like him

Don · « **Reply #56 on:** October 01, 2021, 04:05:48 PM »

He’s wack but pretty tight

Mariatorresflores · « **Reply #57 on:** October 01, 2021, 04:06:34 PM »

I don't really enjoy his skating but I can respect he's doing his own thing I guess. He's neither tight nor wack. As someone else said he's just kinda meh, which is about the opposite of how he probably would like to be perceived based on all of his pointless embellishments that pad out his parts. Simply too much dancing, goofing and not enough impressive, attention earning tricks. Heck, not really any honestly (IMO).

He should spend some time diversifying his trick bag IMO, maybe skate some small gaps/rails at least so every part doesn't look/feel like he's just a flat ground skater.

This video helped me appreciate him more; trying to help legitimize and grow skateboarding in ones community can be hard, thankless work so at least you can tell his heart's in the right place. -

my guess is that he is going for that organic aesthetic that you used to see in old Powell vids etc, I.e. not planned out and completely spontaneous, like how you skate when you’re not being filmed. In his older parts his skating defs looks more planned/ deliberate .

He’s great in a montage or on a Instagram clip, but I don’t need 4-5 minutes of his shit.
