Jamie Griffin does 1000 flatground tricks

[A Not At All Naughty Chemist]

Flatground wizardy is now forever synonymous with, and in the shadow of: Jamie Griffin.

It is monumental and I dearly hope the big skate media is keeping a close eye and willing to give him his flowers once it's completed.

Also big ups to his folks for supporting him in whatever way they do. It makes this contribution to skateboardings future possible so thank you.

[aleksander]

It’d be cool to hear him and Rodney talk about some of these and point out which are the hardest and why. Like it all looks bonkers at this point but there must be some that have the tiniest margin for error.

[somethingmustbreaknow]

hell yeah. super sick. keep them coming

[RoaryMcTwang]

The Irish winter adds yet another layer to how incredible this is.

Kickflip casper was my favourite in this, good on him to put it first.

 

Is it a 360 if you have to drag or pivot the remaining 180?
I think that last trick needs to be renamed.

He said at the beginning of the series that the last few hundred tricks would probably be pretty sketchy so I'd say he's kept it remarkably clean so far. Insane how many of these he could re-do to get a proper one.

[Buttworm]

I’m a fan. Just don’t think landing crossleg is a trick, gives me the ick

[alien porkchop]

are we just going to not talk about how bad those gloves must smell?

in another thread someone said pop shuv body varial was a dope trick, but i couldn’t really picture it being done well. then comes this guy, and it looks sick. i’m flabbergasted.

Really glad this happens before robots can kickflip.

Now, once the robot lands the kickflip, we can yawn and ask: "Yeah, but can it switch front foot impossible frontside 360?"

Exactly!

Some of the tricks jamie does are so impressive, for most part tho I cant follow what happens. I think you need to try that yourself before it computes.

I read somewhere that he's from County Donegal. They have an award called the Freedom of Donegal that is given to people who have been recognised for outstanding achievements on behalf of the people and County Donegal.

Perhaps when he finishes this we can send a lot of letters and such so that they might consider him.

Don't know how the process works but it may be a nice gesture. However, Enya is apparently also from there and her award has only been proposed 2 months ago...

Unbelievable. Can't believe how good some of these look. Redoing it in the rain.

I'm backing this. I hope he gets properly recognized for this somehow. I just emailed the Donegal County Council like a man to ask about this award. That place seems like a trip. I can't pronounce anything, the people's names are straight outta Middle Earth, you can select for the website to be in English or Irish. Satellite image looks like beautiful country that's horrible for skating.

Shout out Enya.

The sound of a waterlogged board popping.

Someone should index these into a searchable data base of individual tricks. I feel like he did a frontside bigspin lateflip, love to see it again but have no idea when he did it and probably not gonna watch 700 tricks to find it. i will donate a dollar to this effort.

[JMSneep]

someone commented the timecode per trick on some of the earlier video's

[companguero]

[let’s go home]

It’s pretty funny that we might never see some of these tricks done again.

[in love w/ fs shuvs]

damn, landing 700 different flatground tricks is crazy.

some of these are heinous but that's some damn good board control

[TheLurper]

I clicked through a few and saw shit like Double Cancel Flip. This dude can do more tricks than my Sessions character.

lol, I wonder how many tricks I've done my entire life. I doubt I've even done over 50 unique tricks. My weirdest one has to be V-flip revert. It is absolutely disgusting. And I had casper flips on lock for a while. Did one of the loading dock behind the middle-school once

I fell to the floor laughing.  Never thought I'd get a skateboard/Star Trek joke mixture.

wild that this dude is like just doing it for the love of autism, like no sponsors, very little following like nada

He's just like me, fr.

Except that I havent done more than 50 different tricks in my entire life.

[Rasmus]

My respect is exponentially rising for him with each video—what a way to redeem yourself after I thought he was the blandest output of YouTube!

...I really love that he doesn't add a description to his videos. It is the internet era's equivalent of a mic drop 

[QixHexagon]

He is probably the best flatground of all time. Amazing that he manages to do something like a "nollie backside bigspin late heel" look entertaining - and lands it twice just for the video!

Really curious to see what will be the 1,000th trick. Would be fun to see a simple ollie.

They got back, gotta send another email. Quoted in bold, lightly edited.

Nom De Plume,
 
A local authority has the power to award a civic honour on a distinguished person in such manner as it may determine including the honorary freedom of the county.
 
This can be proposed by the Cathaoirleach of the Council and should only be proposed in exceptional circumstances. Generally, any requests are pursued initially through the Council Corporate Policy Group and then brought to full Council. If there is someone that you think may be deserving of this accolade, I would suggest that you contact the elected members in your own Municipal District or the Cathaoirleach Cllr Paul Canning who can progress the matter for you.
 
Also, it has come to the attention of County Donegal that the SLAP poster Pine, who has aspired and failed to be even a cheap knock of(f) of Jamie Griffin, has received money to promote alt right influencer Tim Pool. We have taken the stance that he is a complete bitch of the highest order and should focus.
 
Regards
Anne Marie Crawford


This inter-office greeting and sign off is rad. So sprung on folks speaking Gaelic for some reason.


A chara,
 
Please see email below received via the Council’s email address for your attention. Please respond directly to the customer.

And doesn't spend 20 minutes talking to the camera about everything he's doing

He could probably do all these tricks down stairs.  Berrics warning, but I feel like the warning doesn't need to exist since Berrics doesn't exist anymore hahahahah.

[RoaryMcTwang]

Seems like he's back at it on his lonely, wet patch of concrete:
