Whoever is flying their own flag and doesn't bother others with their technique, has a pass in my book.

yes! saw that post yesterday too and I totally agree. It makes it even better that Valls is articulate enough to really lay out his point of view.

I'll repeat myself but Léo Valls is tight, always super nice and welcoming and doing a lot for scene in Bordeaux. Is he the best pro ? probably not but who cares he has fun and is cool person.

Anybody hating on Leo Valls is skating Primitive completes and one step away from a Jagger pro model.

Shit looks hella fun to me. I don’t give a hoot about how difficult this dudes tricks are, or what contemporary metric his skating & style measure up against, watching his shit makes me want to go push around & enjoy fun in skating, rather than the challenge.
At my age, I can use a bit more fun & a little less challenge.
To borrow from dude’s recent IG posticles, “Skateboarding is free and beautiful.”

This screeching powerslider is tight! Whenever I think about the early to mid 2010's indie skate video movement, he pops into my head. I do kind of remember people making fun of him a lot at the time, though. Skkrrrt skkrrt! skeet skeeet!

he takes having fun way too seriously and basically defeats the purpose of putting these parts out. in the beginning i could believe it but now he's like a parody of himself.

I've met a few noise musicians. They were really nice and fun to talk to. I could tell during their sets they were having a lot of fun making noise with a bunch of delay and fuzz pedals. I don't care for their music. This is my analogy.

Valid statement. Have a gnar!

even if they did, this wouldn’t be him

what is with the goofy art references here lately

edit: the closest thing would be like simon woodstock maybe

He's created an official post within the government of bordeaux to consult from a skate perspective on building City plazas and have effective youth programs, etc. Show me one other pro who's used his career for the common interest in that degree. Dude's the goat and y'all just sad you're not getting any more Trevor Colden parts.

Cool Ceith · « **Reply #165 on:** December 28, 2021, 10:51:21 AM »

Personally, i think it's sick that one of my skate heroes has been on page 1 of Slap for this long. Keep spreading the word

Ok · « **Reply #166 on:** December 28, 2021, 11:30:10 AM »

I like(d) his stuff.
Now it’s too much. I think Allen said something about not making it the main dish, and I agree. It’s just too much, sprinkled in some of that stuff would be really cool, imo. Now it is, ‘it’ being the power slide to power slide to tic tac paddy wack, as someone noted previously, self parody. Less would be so much more.
Comparing this none sense to Puleo is trash.
For what it is worth, I feel similarly about Daewon’s last 15 years: too much of the one thing. And Daewon was one of my utmost favorites trilogy era.

@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.

Lurker Lous clips were disgusting in a bad way
