The filming was like you have a camera to a child that grew up on Melodi videos.

Backside 5-0 to lip was really cool. Surprised nobody has used that song before, it's perfect for a skate part.

Halfcab heel nose manual seems low-key really hard. Just halfcab to nose manny is hard.

Saw the shoe over the weekend. Looks like it’ll hold up a few drops. Leo rips.


Also, this makes the B situation look even worse. Noticed her in the credits.

Does anyone have a link to the John Motta part to this song?

Or did Nike it get it removed 😳

Got in a Instagram comment fight with some fucking loser who was hating on the Leo’s… dude then said some racist shit about my girlfriend and commenting on my page… had to block his dumb ass. These fools are fucking crazy lmao.

Love Leo’s shoe and love that it’s getting these fucking homophobic racists all up in their feelings.

Edit: I don’t actually love it and wish these fucking hatefilled fucks would just let things be. But it does feel kinda good to know that their hatred falls flat because Ultimately Leo is the one with the pro model on Nike and nobody can take that shine away.

nollie inward heel at the Kosciuszko Bridge hip is crazy, that thing is so hard to skate.

couple other standouts:

back 180 nosegrind to switch manny at Stalin
back tail to back lip at Chauncey Ledges
back tail shuv around the corner at the brightly colored ledge spot

great clips all around, will prolly rewatch this in the future

congrats to leo on the shoe, well deserved!

Great for him… I like his style, remind me a bit of Brad Crommer.

But but I cant pick 1 trick there at pro shoe level..

Its no hate…I fuck with style over difficult.

You're not wrong

Assuming this wasn't a make either since you think they'd want this in for a shoe release part as it would have been the best trick in there.  Tbh I was really looking forward to seeing the footy of this because the pic is amazing

i liked this part and it's sick that they keep progressing. people act like leo just came out of nowhere, they've had solid footage for well over a decade. the shoe looks cool and seems like it would skate well. that nollie inward heel over the hip was beast and on par with plenty of pros. back tail shuv out was stomped around a curved ledge. half cab heel nose manny 180 was popped high and clean. stop randomly bringing up beatrice domond, it's so lame. she's also in a completely different category of skateboarder with way less of a history in skateboarding. fuck da haters

I was really stoked on that part.  Leo seems to have really progressed a lot.   Other than that last trick (which is just more of a personal preference) I really dug what he was doing and how the shoe looked.    What more could you want from a part?


(Just going off usage in recent interviews, I chose to use the pronouns they used he/him because that seemed more verifiable (wiki said he/him and they/them are fine, but who knows how updated that is)  If anyone knows better, happy to correct)

I fw the shoe and the part was nice. His "post-op" part was also really good for anyone who wants to see more.

Way better than I was expecting.  Hard, creative tricks, some banging flatground.. maybe not the most eye pleasing fits and style, but he’s been at it for ages and still getting better.  Won’t buy the shoe but congrats, can’t say it’s undeserved.

Their best part yet. Really enjoyable. I can see the trick selection expanding more with every part and I’m digging it. Still not a huge fan of the squat butt style

Sorry but this is a shitty take, you're stereotyping. Can't tell if you're virtue signaling by saying something you think might be appropriate/supportive to this conversation about a trans skater, or if you're dim. Just because Leo is trans, doesn't mean they belong on a gay team. And then you drag Elissa Steamer into it for the same reason? Figure it out bra, Leo started is a co-founder of Glue, why the hell would they go to There? You're not helping
If my rep is ever an even number, please kindly throw me either a kook or a gnar in order to return me to my odd number equilibrium.
