ive rewatched that clip like five times today. that back heel is from a session with nak last year and he just posted the kick flip then. I think he's actually more self aware than people realize and created this brand for himself where he knows he can milk his day to day lifestyle as persona, get people begging for clips and then drop something like this . I kind of agree with his out look on not wanting to post skatepark clips just for the sake of posting skating. if this is his throwaway, you know whatever he has stacked is amazing. at this point fa or nike need to just get behind him and get a part going. I wonder if fa had something they wanted to do with him , nak and tj and the whole king thing just fucked it up.

So is KB actually just a marketing genius? Documents his partying and everyone agrees he’s piled out, assume he’s fallen of, he skates enough to stay on top of his game but rarely films any filler / skatepark clips, and occasionally puts out amazing footage…

This guy seems like the new Antwuan Dixon, incredible natural talent but seems to put the party life ahead of his skating...

Haven't seen real footage from this guy in a long time.

Nowhere near as talented as Antwuan, fuck outta here.

Antwan is actually a very unidimensional skater. He has a very limited range of tricks, which he does on a very limited range of obstacles. His style is clearly unmatched, and the level of the tricks he did too. But altogether, i would argue that KB is more well rounded and probably better ...

Now, asserting which one is the most talented is a difficult task given that these 2 are surrounded by a mystique that overshadows their actual achievements... and clouds the judgement of their observers.

I mean those clips were great but they're clearly pretty old.

Yea, so old that they can't even be used to confirm if he is alright or not. Basically worthless

Maybe dill bullied him into posting something.

On a more general note. Couldn’t care less about kb. I hope he’s doing fine and cashing in FA checks, but skate wise he’s not existent

His new clips in that internet video are keeping me entertained as a viewer. I still have hope for KB. Maybe this 7min of footage he has saved will finally be seen soon

I hope he's actually sitting on a ton of footage. The guy is capable of a SOTY level part. One of the most naturally talented skaters I've ever seen. While Tyshawn has earned his accolades, KB is by far my favorite of the kids from Cherry who shaped FA to watch.

KB if you’re reading this we love you and will save you from that gas station or Kathy bates who presumably has you held hostage and is beating the shit out of your legs hence no clips

Someone with skills needs to make a Misery tribute with Dill as Kathy Bates and KB as James Caan.

Or not. Merely a suggestion.

I love KB as much as the next man, but anyone who believes he's actually sitting on 8mins of footage is delusional.

there's a 50/50 chance KB is sitting on a ton of footage and IF he was smart he would drop it all in November.

I've been pretty vocal about hating on people saving footage from multiple years and dropping it all at the end of a year in order to get SOTY.

This would def be the most extreme example of that i could think of.

Imagine KB winning SOTY after skating for like 8 hours total in 2023.

This is obviously a hypothetical situation, so no hate to KB or anything. But god damn would that be some kooky ass shit.

I'm over lusting after skaters who don't want to just do what's generally expected of them. Thankfully in like 3 years or smthng there will be another kb. There always is. Talent is wasted on the youth, smthng smthng.
