[Cuban_Lynx]

I can't find a better image yet, but @ghostlurker posted a preview. That smith grind is DIPPED

[backside_frontside]

There's angle iron over the bricks. Does it count?!?! Lol jk jk

Sick back smith, sick spot, sick photo.

How is the dude not fucking pro?!?!

Dipped but not to dipped. The right amount of dip.


Love Nick. Turn him pro goddamnit.

[Cuban_Lynx]

Ah damn, there you go! Can't wait for his onslaught of footy in 2023. If he moved from Chicago to SoCal, he would have been pro like 5 years ago.

Dipped but not to dipped. The right amount of dip. 

Optimally dipped.

[thebacker]

doesnt count lolololol

[assvogel]

Yeah! Nick Matthews has been a new favorite since the Venture x Uprise vid for me, sick skater, sick style!

[EXTRA SPICY]

Antihero trips with him, pfanner, Daan and crew are about to be in the stratosphere.

Incredible form on this bs smith. If I ever should manage to learn them I know who to imitate

i'll take any other DLX brand but anti hero just does not seem like a good match

[Candied cigarettes]

Can’t believe he’s not even am yet this is crazy

[FuzzGNU]

Lol, wtf how is Nick Matthews an "Am"?

He's been the best skateboarder in Chicago for over a year. I think this all gives you an idea of how slept on and disrespected Chicago is in skateboarding.

The fact that this dude can get this good despite the ~4-6 months a year of awful weather here is insane.

[fredgallSOTY]

he actually did move to so cal when he was on chocolate flow, didnt go as planned and moved back to Chicago

needs that flow to pro bump ASAP

i think Anti-Hero freshening up their squad with some new street riders would actually be really sick

ok if they added more street dudes then i would be onboard but with the current state of the team i just dont see a fit

[Madam, I'm Adam]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone this good who gets covers, ads, regular high-quality coverage across all mediums, who’s been in skating for awhile - and who doesn’t have a proper board sponsor.

It’s surreal. It’s like a board sponsor is unimportant at this stage.

Been saying this for years.  Their street guys have always been top notch it's time to update.  Daan was on his way to being that dude before he got injured, some new blood would be so sick.

[Local skater]

Looks like a cover from 2006 in a good way

PRO

[Steely Daniel]

A tasty amount of brick

[Lenny the Fatface]

One of those obstacles where I have no clue of it’s purpose beyond being skated.

[swellbowed]

SOTY 2023

[Sidewalk Funk.]

I feel like I saw something recently about this spot getting demolished and no longer being skateable. Would make this photo even more dope since it would likely be the last trick done there.

[SWPhillyFloater]

God damn.

[GoneWithTheSchwinn]

[BALAKOV]

he got the sickest back smith around

[yungthug]

I know Quasi slept on him but it's wild how he isn't automatically one of Real's 36 pros lol.

Its straight videogame shit. Its like in Session and SkaterXL where you can smith grind higher ledges than you can 50-50. He is smith grinding shit that would be impossible to 50-50.

Unpopular opinion or maybe it’s not but smith grinding a taller ledge is way easier than a lower one.

The Thrasher logo should have been in a brick font IMO.

I guess, but not when the rail is shoulder high.
