Thrasher x Spitfire Present: SAN FRANCISCO BURNING

[Kielwasser]

Am I the only thinking some of these tricks should have ended personal parts instead of getting lost in the mix? Gabbers boardslide, Nikolai bs nb, ...

For some reason Duffy's ollie looks so much cooler.

Cause he ate shit multiple times, rode through a puddle and did it almost 25 years ago...

Also one of those things where the effortlessness of Miles kickflip kind of diminishes the size of the spot. If almost anyone else from the video did it instead it’s probably all we’d be talking about lol

it wasn't the smoothest of his tricks, but Nikolai Piombo's backside flip to fakie five-o (7:40) was done with so much control and stuck so squarely that i had to rewind it a few times to make sure i was seeing someone flip the board

  I had to rewind three times to see the flip into that fakie 5-0.  So sick! He flipped the board so fast that the framerate couldn't keep up.

I just tried watching it at 1/2 speed and it's still so fast you could miss it if you weren't locked in.
Sometimes I watch Nikolai and think "I don't get the big deal about this guy" and then he'll have a clip that makes me go "ah, yeah I get it". Even if it was kinda booger'd that 20ft back nose blunt was bananas.

Also Miles Silvas is so goddamn good it's crazy.

One of my favorite videos so far this year, there were like 6 different tricks throughout that absolutely blew my mind. Diego part definitely a highlight.

Had to go back and pull it. even at 0.5 speed, blink and you'll miss it.

i love where this went. cheers on the giph--helped me to appreciate how smoothly he actually pops out and lands this

[skinnyankles]

Miles footage was seriously too good. Hope he's got more coming.

[rikki]

Fuck yes.

Edit was like a 25-minute Insta reel, but the skating made up for it 1000x.

Gnarflation is real. So much to process.

Loved Diego's part so much, and the music choice was fantastic for it.

Chris Athans should have a statue in SF. If not in this life, in the next one I want to learn to wallride like him.

Thank you Spitfire, thank you skateboarding.

[rikki]

Whole video was great but I loved this switch hardflip. Just a really nice trick mid-line

YES. I paused and framed-by-framed that like 7 times.

[midnitecruiser]

phew, what a ride. Gotta salute Frank and Elissa. Simon has a beautiful style. Rob Bootes rips. Was so happy to see Jack Curtin's footage, definitely one of my favorites with an immaculate style and career. Diego is a true street magician. Carlyle came through and I loved that wallride he did for the two boys. plus everything else. Nice job, Spitfire!

[m477]

Exceeded expectations, two thumbs up.

Is there a reason why Spitfire is able to elicit so much good footage from their riders—for example, the fact that a lot of soty contenders make their 'spitfire part' a main staple of their run? I feel like other wheel companies would/could never expect this from their riders.
