waiting in line at the grocery store i pulled up ig and gasped when i saw this, my wife asked what i was looking at and i showed my phone, to absolutely no reaction from her, lol. i mean i would hope the average layperson would understand how shocking this is.

This could have been written by me. I am gonna go show my wife this cover right now to see how close it is.

But yeah, this is seriously fucked up. The confluence of the greatest city on earth with one of the best covers ever shot. You love to see it.

Gotta be the gnarliest place a photographer has gone to capture skating. If not what is?

ADB. @mandibleclaw shot from the tracks for the ollie in Tengu.

Edit: talking someone taking that angle for a photo. Never seen a flip trick over subway tracks before though.

Allen Ying shot the ollie photo from the middle of the tracks. Colin stood on the ledge just below the platform.

2:37 you be the judge but, I always thought it was filmed just holding the camera over the tracks not standing on them. (Atiba could've done the same but it doesn't seem likely from the photo)

Edit: thanks @REGS for clarifying

manifesting a part in a promo for that terrible looking king brand he’s been teasing featuring the most obnoxious na-kel antics the world has seen yet set to a shitty drill song
Look at this photo again and tell us that any of that other shit matters at all.

Also more evidence of J Wray’s “if you can ollie it, you can kickflip it” theory coming to fruition. Maniacal.

Damn this is fucked. So far we have an ollie, fs 180 and a kickflip over a subway gap. And hopefully the footage isn’t super zoomed in that you can’t appreciate how big this is.

Now, we used to say we put on our tights to put on the world. So I don't think it tarnishes the image at all.

Intense. Has anyone seen this and china banks in person? I'm sure they both look impossible but if I had a gun to my head I'd rather try this. Not to take anything away from TJ, dude is very gifted.

So sick.  Those who are comparing this to other spots have never been in this subway station.  That is all.

I’ve been to both spots. The subway gap is obviously higher risk, but I think its physically harder to ollie the bench.

I don't even know what to say. Seeing this makes me feel like I'm 12 years old again. Genuinely awe struck.

Dumb question, but if the rail closest to the landing is the deadly one, why not go over it the other way?  If it’s to purposefully make the trick and photo gnarlier, then shit, hats off.

Atiba said he had to jump on the third rail to get out because a train was coming. Seems like the one thing you gotta avoid here.

I believe in the Tengu one, it was done towards the 3rd rail because the run-up was better. Might be the same in this case.

Lol dude there’s like 1000 volts running through that third rail. You can literally die instantly from touching that shit.
This is not my SOTY. I'm telling my kids there was no SOTY for 2021

This is why he’s my pick for SOTY or TOTY whatever. Nothing else has given me this reaction.

Do you have a link to the 180?

We are not worthy

Crazy that you can't even see the 4+ feet of yellow knobbies he has to clear.. Different fit from the subway run-up that Supreme posted a month back. Maybe he has some other heat for us ??
