there's something very soothing about the subtle forward twist in the knees and re-orientation of his shoulders after he hits the apex that makes this "trick" look perfect to me.

If his image is as malleable as we've seen, maybe Rodney can whisper something in heshed tones to make him focus on tranny for the rest of his career.

The worst part is when he got off his board and walked over to do his next trick

If he does the loop switch, I'll eat my words. Until then, everything he's done has been unimpressive regardless of which way he is standing.

Even the differently abled skaters are pushing the limits of their abilities more than this so called skate goat.

Maybe gimmick goat would be a more appropriate name for his skateboarding title.

How about Dan Mancina with his whole “blind” schtick?  Like I’ve always said, he should drop that whole gimmick and just skate.

My friend snowboards goofy and skates regular.

Some transition tricks are easier for him switch like blunts or frontside 360.

Steve ruined sanders career before it started. Scientology is a curse

I do that too!

I snowboarded first and when I started to skate it just felt better to roll with the other foot forward. I do not have a lot of switch tricks, but for what it’s worth I am great at pushing around switch.

 It just seems like Leander has two different stances for street and transition. It is not that he has no stance. As was already pointed out above Thiago or AVE are way better at skating switch in the Street.

I am not from LA, nor am I even American so I wonder why so many people seem to hate The Venice Beach park and its locals. Apart from Leandre‘s Berrics association he seems like an OK guy whenever I see a clip about him. I don‘t really get the hate.

People don't like Venice park or its locals because the vibe is if every single benihana fly out kid from your local all traveled there to see who could benihana highest. Combine that with just sketchy Venice people and tourists asking if they can film your stunts, you got a recipe for a lame scene.

he's definitely not good enough at skateboarding to be considered superhuman... or to name himself skategoat or to have a movie about his life. Nobody cares, except shitty sponsors and beach tourists.
We all are genetic abnormalities btw

funny how the post annoucing his new "pro" boards has comments disabled

I don't get why OP would lick his balls like that

What is it that I say that compels you to call for my censorship and expulsion? Does the thought of a superhuman skater amongst us bring out some deep-seated ill feelings towards your own mortality? Does he appear as some all-powerful Zeus before you? When you think about death do you lose your breath or do you keep your cool?

The name skategoat, as outrageous as it may be, is actually a bit of a misnomer. To be the G.O.A.T. you have to exist within the framework of "time". The gods are able to see through the illusion of time and Leandre may well have this capability. Is your mind so small that you have to fall in with the pack wherever they run? Open your eyes, just realize that he is the one.

It's a misnomer by every sense of the meaning.   It's the equivalent of Danny Gonzalez calling himself the next Gonz.   There are so many ways to create your own exit strategy out of skateboarding.

Please don't do Black Sabbath that dirty if you have to steal their lyrics to express your standpoint.

Leandre is good at skating switch and regular, that's it.

Superhuman is more a expression you can use to describe Bob Burnquist for example.

Switching stances like that is kinda ugly to me. I like how it looks different to skate switch. And skating tranny switch is weak too

Cool username. Eskorbuto rules

Leandre has two natural stances.

Bob is a super talented vert PIONEER with one natural stance.

I would think Leandre has a natural stance and he just got insanely good at skating basic transition switch to the point it feels normal. It's not like skating transition is fundamentally all that different to skating street when it comes to a certain tricks, e.g. grinding a smith or doing a tailslide in a quarter feels almost identical to doing it on a ledge and vice versa, difference being is getting in/out.

If he ever were to hit a megaramp and made it look natural AF, then I would concede he may really be stanceless, but until then I'm not entirely convinced.
