Jeremy Leabres is the ultimate old school type pro. No bullshit, a great part every couple years for his sponsor, great trick selection, great style.

+ he skates those G6 slip on cups that I will run out off eventually, which will be sad.

Yeah that reminded of the Austin Stephen’s flip into the bank and Ollie through. Not sure if it’s the same spot but it could well be.

Flat earthers seem like something Toy would make fun of in general.   Not sure why Blake would be the first rider who’s left (out of the very many) that they decided to start taking shit about, especially because it’s not like it happened recently.   Dashawn came and left since then and is much more risible.  Maybe Don just personally didn’t like him.   Ed, especially at this age, doesn’t strike me as the kind of guy who would request that

the worst part about being an adult is wanting to watch this again and knowing I will not be able to anytime soon

part by part it is though

Lol. Eldee is definitely a human. He’s like a raider on horse back who’s kinda scared to do battle. Somehow he closes his eyes and swings his sword wildly and wakes up in a pile of dead orcs.

the girls all killed it, bright future for them. really enjoyed myles and braden parts. i thought the "subliminal messaging" text was a little silly while the main parts of the skating was going on, respect that toy hasnt budged from their shtick for this long

I luckily wandered upon the sesh a few years back when Dashawn was trying the back over crook on the Dana Hills High double kink (Vaccine ender) and Braden was trying to front blunt it. I thought who the fuck is that dude and what is he thinking even trying it. Seemed impossible. Good to know he got a front blunt on an equally gnarly kinker.

Possible fried take but…love Rowley and wish him all the best just not sure how I feel about him being on. Kinda hoping it’s just a guest spot or something. I mean his only connection is being friends with Ed? Would maybe make more sense to me if they still had some of the older dudes like Layton or Marks but this seems too big of a stretch from having a bunch of young dudes on and then having such an iconic heavy name. Also, when did Billy leave? And why is there no team page on their site?

Also, shout out Murr park. That was a pleasant surprise. Full circle.

One thing that gets me is that Braden Hoban is really good at switch tres, but seemingly never puts one in a part.  No switch/nollie tricks at all, usually.

Still sick as fuck

Oh nice , I love that trick even more now.
Even though the angle was different than Austin’s tricks there it seemed like a bit of a homage/ nice coincidence. I still love Austin’s last two Toy parts. Skatepark bank tricks included.

yeah the curb didn’t used to be there but, it was definitely and homage. austin is a legend and a style master, his kickflip back five os on handrails were a thing of beauty. you can see the rail i’m talking about in the background to the left at 0:28

Braden is so sick.

Front feeble kickflip over into the bank was unreal that was crazy.

Kickflip front 50 on that huge marina rail is no joke that's ridiculous has anyone else flipped into that thing yet?

Kickflip over the handicap rail and the curb into the street was too good dude was just floating. The foot coming off st tje end gave me goose bumps.

Kickflip gap crooks is insane.

4 really dope kickflip tricks he's got a sick one for sure. What's rad is that I would have quicker guessed I'd be saying that about impossible so was pleasantly surprised there there was only the one, (the down the stairs was a 3shuv 2 me). Glad the street league/hubba shit didn't seem to effect his skating like it does others. Nigel and the Japanese children rip but there street footy just looks like street league practice. Braden still looks genuine out there so good for him. But it would be cool to see what a part of his would look like if he didn't get crazy at that hubby contest. Wasted a lot of dope tricks on that shitty contest. Wish there was more money in professional skateboarding so dudes like this didn't have go do the contest shit cause I feel like this dude capable of so much more of he didn't have to spend the kasy year or two doing the lame contest shit.

Springfield Courthouse, Springfield, MA! Closest famous spot to where I live 💪🏻

It’s killer to see so many pros stacking clips there these days.
Do you get deja vu, huh?

Yeah even with the different angle I immediately recognized it just from watching good and evil so much. That Austin part made wear pearl snaps

This was a fantastic little video. Toy’s finding a balance between their heritage and adapting with the times and I like the really weird, eclectic mix of skaters it’s resulting in.

I know people don’t like Cordano (and I’d be ok never seeing a nollie 270 shove board ever again) but I do like his fakie handrail tricks a lot.

In 20+ years I've never bought a Toy board. This made me want to pick one up to support though, it's easy to overlook the legacy brands but damn are they doing it right lately. The girls all ripped, especially Shiloh, and Braden had some craziness. Axel kills it too, I really enjoyed the movie, and will absolutely rewatch a bunch. They should pick up Martino...

People need to remember this video the next time someone wants to make the "all legacy brands should die" argument. Toy has had its ups and downs but seeing this it's obvious Ed (and Sinclair) deserve to have a place in the marketplace forever. Dude stood by these riders even when they weren't the coolest or trendiest and look what they came up with. What a great fucking video.

That shit was awesome haha. All of Myle’s tricks were pretty psycho and still went under the radar for me a little. Like that gap to backside noseblunt on the flat outledge and gap 180 nosegrind from the ledge to handrail.


& nollie 180 50-50 on the handrail, he’s got a sick lanky, flowy style.


This video is continuing to impress me. I think I’ve watched it at least once a day since it dropped.

Have been waiting a long time for someone to use lightning bolt in a video, but a kinda weak montage in a toy video with a weirdly edited version of one of my favorite tracks wasn’t really what I was hoping for.

Now that I’ve actually finished watching the video, some thoughts:

Damn that Georgia girl is sick. She looks super young and is already ripping. Style speed and spot selection all on point.

Miles two enders were both sick, esp the wallie.

Axels noseslide to board to board was such a funny trick. Looks fun as hell too. Interesting to see how his approach to skating has been changing lately. Short part.

Not sure what to make of that cordano guy being on. Not a fan of his ender.

Hoban part was pretty wild. Impossible noseblunt, back tail against the wall, and kickflip from stairs to bank were standouts for me. Kinda expected it to be a longer part but still very heavy.

All in all good stuff

Cordano fucked up good some of those numbers you don’t see everyday, although I admit some shit he does you don’t want to see everyday
