Geoff Rowley’s "FREE DOME TO SKATE" Video Part

[swellbowed]

[peacepappies]

That was fucking boring. He's a legend and all but none of that was impressing. medicro fliptricks and bluntslides in ditches yeah cool bro.

[ApesPissed]

Geoff was one of my favorites when I was younger. Out of respect for the man, I will not talk too much shit about his red shoes or terrible brand name. Was every trick into a bank?

[QixHexagon]

Good to see Penny.

Was every trick into a bank?

Pretty much. Many of them in the same banks.

Fair point but I thought it was just awesome to see Rowley getting after it. What’s he like 47? The guy is pushing whatever he has left. Besides Guy and AVE who else is this fit? I admire Geoff’s drive and this made me want to push myself a little more.

[overwaxed]

Sick style, skating what he wants, on his own terms, Penny guest tricks - haters gonna hate, but lets see what y'all skate day to day? Also he's 47 - shred city. 10/10 love it.

[Gab]

Been waiting to see 2:43 for so long, it’s right by my local, so big in person. Someone posted a pic of him there like 2 years ago, I think it’s un skateable now. I could see how it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, shit name for a brand, kinda shit music, writing your name on skulls is lame but enjoyable enough to watch with my morning coffee.

[TastyBurrito]

Is it hucking gnar skating like he did in 2001?

Nope.

Still, For a dude pushing 50, I'm just glad he's still skating and putting things out.

Reynolds of course, Tony hawk still going strong, rune had a part last year I think, Jamie Thomas said he's working on a part. Maybe tony hawk has some hidden knowledge when picking the people for his game

pretty amazing for his age.

can't lie, ditch skating is my least fave variant. i'm not sure if it's even that the tricks are boring. visually, it's just huge slabs of colourless concrete, in vast, arid, lifeless landscapes. it's the least interesting thing you could choose to look at it really.

however, there was a tom penny trick and it was a fucking back noseblunt slide, which he's never filmed before so a penny nbf makes it a valuable contribution to skateboarding.

[uesty]

i liked it, but maybe that's because i'm getting old and appreciate bank type skating more these days.

dude is 47 and still filming parts gotta respect that

[Peter Zagreus]

One of the GOATS, shredding, looking great for his age, and doing his own thing (which is kind of the point of skateboarding). Hating on Rowley is wasting energy.

[MyUserName]

I feel like he’s released the same part 3 or 4 times in a row now, but sick to see him still go at it like that.

[let’s go home]

I bet huge ditches like those would be really intimidating irl. Serious risk of eating shit let alone for a person who is almost 50.

[WorldsbestWeedsm0ker]

“Free dome” at the skatepark isn’t ever free there’s always a catch22 for instance now I gotta pay for sti medications

[concerned_parent]

need the story with the flames paint followed by the shot of the tags over this "whoever did this over my little brother's grave" (watch 4:02 - 4:08)

[pizzafliptofakie]

ollie into the metal grate was crazy.



late stage Rowley footage is exactly what I expect it to be and I'm fine with that. I mean the guy's pushing 50. It's not like he's putting out a slappy part or something.

[Rasmus]

270 in to the big double bank looked awesome!

I love that Geoff still doesn't respect his body's well-being.

[backside_frontside]

I don’t know what’s worse:

The unironic use of butt rock…

making your own checkered vans with sharpie like a kid in middle school…

using a terrible pun of a euphemism for getting a bj for your board brand…

or

going from vegan punk to meathead knife guy

[Rasmus]

Geoff and Motörhead are kind of a tradition.

[JoseCansnake0]

Dude is a legend, and gave 100% to this part. Ollie into the grate was bonkers

[Steven Seagullwing]

Crazy stuff in this....

Is it odd when someone does more than 2 tricks at the same spot at multiple spots multiple times?

[OwlGreen]

Geoff still fucking rips, but that was one of the worst edits I've seen in years. Hopefully Jack Mansfield is the name of his 13-year-old son. Pretty good for an 8th-grader, but you're trying too hard to please your father. 3 minutes would have been more than generous. I suddenly have sympathy for Ty cutting everyone's 5 minutes down to 3 clips.

Nevertheless, I still love dude's skating. The rough cut should be sick.

[Democratic Republic Of Mongo]

Yeah, I thought that was grate. If you showed me these clips back in 2002 when Sorry! came out saying, “hey, here’s Geoff in 21 years”, I’d be like wtf he’s still alive?

Also ditto on the THPS comment above, I’d be shocked back then to find out how many of them would still be shredding in 2023.

My thoughts exactly.

[sizzle_chest]

Is Rowley still a "super pro"?

[Rasmus]

Is Rowley still a "super pro"?

I don't know, but he has definitely earned his legend status

[ApesPissed]

Oh weird. Good catch

[Mandatory Reload]

yeah there were some spots where he had like 4-5 tricks, none of which were that high level. i think there are totally times when it makes sense to do that (especially when it might display how nuts a skater went on one specific session) but it happened on like 4 different occasions in this and felt a little superfluous. 8 minutes of ditch skating is a bit exhausting, think this could've benefitted from some trimming and quality control. very sick to still see Rowley out there getting it though, good for him and i certainly wouldn't step to most of these spots
