I hate sidewalk Manny clips. It's just a poor man's hill bomb.

This hurts me but you’re completely right

I definitely prefer sidewalk manny tricks and ride on grinds to the trend of excessive no comply variations and sex change variations of yesteryear.
Those became really old really quick. I remember people calling tricks like those instagram skating.
But I could still watch Dane Brady do that shit anyday.

Also: rolling down a mellow smooth hill street and popping a sidewalk manual in the middle, that’s one of the best skate feelings and it’s been way too long I actually felt that. Too bad I suck at nosemannies.

I feel like the average slap pal is 50yo, and I dont think they started at 48

That said, you got me, I actually hate skateboarding, dumb piece of wood, doesn't even flip right half the time
ive done acting too. I do stunt work. I do lightsaber fighting and choreography technique. I even build props too. even lightsabers.

I put Fully Flared over Mind Field, maybe pretty unpopular opinion here. But Mike Mo part is brilliant, Lucas Puig, JB Gillet, Carroll with his best part, Cairo Foster went solid and Koston two songs part.

But yep, Some Marc Johnson combos did not age well, He should do a smaller part with best clips.

Song choices was good for my taste.

Woah

I think Mindfield aged better, but I honestly did enjoy FF more at the time. But Carroll’s best part…that’s gonna be the most unpopular thing you said back there

Carroll with his best part,

Are you aware that this exists-also, this is an all time top 5 part.  EDIT And his Modus part might even be better.  Mike Carroll is the best dude from his era.

Tell me you haven't seen Modus Operandi without telling me...

I just rewatched his part - maybe it's because the bar is so damn high these days, but it really was too long. Many of the first song's tricks felt like warm ups. At the time though, that part blew me mind.

If you arte talking about style, edit, song, no fucking part can beat Modus, one of my fav videos ever. But, in terms of tricks and level. I put FF over. Dude in his 30, its like 50 today, did a lot of nbd's. Loved three 6 Mafia song.

As I said before...Mudus is a classic. But half of Carroll part is guest. Fucking great guests.

Honestly speaking (about Domus) I agree. But who can really nitpick when you have Carroll, Rick and Scott in the same part? That’s like a buffet of the best styles and you have to pick only three on your plate.

I’m old but because they lead with Goldfish, short of Koston, I never expected anyone to put down any more parts of any significance….

Idk why but fully fired has my favorite Cairo foster part. Also I likes MJs pretty sweet part way more than his fully flared part.

City>Gx
City was always a better representation of sf skating and their videos were so much better. Plus they had the better team.

The only skaters with current or interesting fits are on Instagram not in the industry, industry's been lacking on that

So weird watching you try to participate here after throwing shit all over the walls the first day you created your account. Just focus & go someplace else, man.

The flaw with Fully Flared is that Mike Mo’s brother, Koston, and JB Gillet were the only muh fuckers actually skateboarding. Everyone else was having a Ty Evans induced existential crisis disguised as skate parts.
