Over and down things too. Rewatched all his parts last night and his fs flips and fs flip sw mannys are impeccable. Folded perfectly. Probably why his kf front tails look great too

The first 50 minutes of the search for animal chin seem unnecessary and boring. Did people back then care about anything other than the last 10 minutes on the actual ramp? I wish there was more footage of them getting creative on the ramp
I didn’t see it until the 90s when it was already seen as pretty goofy. I agree, the last ten minutes are the only part of that video I’ll watch again.

Carroll has a better FS Flip than Reynolds.

on flat yeah but who cares, lots of people do.  Those people never did them down the things Reynolds did though.

 Really unpopular opinion: Ryan Decenzo has a nicer frontside flip than Reynolds and could still do them down the things Reynolds did.

Adjust your expectations. It’s a goofy, low-budget 80s movie featuring some of the best skaters of the era.

He talks about it a little on Angel and Z , he makes some money from modeling. And when he gets clothing made he only get the sample order of 80-100 from alibaba dudes not the entire 1000 piece minimum and flips that .

Seems like he’s pretty business savvy and just taking risks,
It does seem like he has older friends somehow guiding him to do the right thing or someone whispering in his ear

this shouldn't be unpopular but it probably is

the word "pussy" needs to stop being said unless you are referring to a woman's vagina/vulva. find a different word or phrase. it's not even accurate - yall can't even handle period cramp pains. maybe something like "grow a pair" or "stop being such a bussy" instead. "wimp" is fine too!

sincerely, someone with a pussy

Wtf is a bussy?

As someone who can't really do fs flips that well but can pull out a BS flip within a handful of tries, i wish this was true.

but

Depends on the fs flip and bs flip really, but the fs flip in my head right now does beat any bs flip

Please stop referring to your vagina as a 'pussy' unless you a referring to yourself being a fraidy cat and or scaredy puss.

Sincerely, someone with a cat

I remember Consolidated had a series of board graphics with all the slang terms for vagina but taken completely literally. Like one graphic was “meat wallet” with an actual drawing of a wallet made of meat. Another one was a “beaver” and I think “cooter” was like a homeless guy or something.

too many baker makers in videos nowadays, its become mainstream acceptable for non-gnarly tricks

i.e. a heel down a 10 stair is not ultra gnar for today standards, redo it without the hand touch fool
