Don't flog me, I'm already dually aware of what a dumb topic this is, but I'm just wondering if anyone else has noticed this. I can't say it really annoys me that people skating at an amateur or professional level are stoked to be out there doing it, but for a while now I've noticed the phenomenon which is the captured sometimes teeth-bearing smile before, during and/or after tricks.

Opinions on this? Fav's? Least fav's?

I really like the one Cairo does right before the nollie flip in Bonus Round.

But this thread was definitely made for Ray Barbee.

yeah man

one of the most recent displays of this that comes to mind is Matt Miller right before he does a hardflip wallride in that tws video

of all tricks, how could you approach that with anything but a determined scowl?

malto always seems to be smiling

Stefan Janoski always just looks so happy. I like people that skate with a smile it just shows how much fun they're having.

Briden's barbee reference reminded me of that line in Can't Stop with the fs nosegrind pop-out revert to big ear to ear grin. Can't say I didn't get stoked thinking about it.

If you are having fun then you are doing it wrong.

Personally, I like to cry through most sessions.

antwaun dixon after pretty much all of his tricks, but his two at the sylmar 11 (nollie bigspin in baker 3 and nollie varial heel in baker deathwish promo) come to mind.

i like how Barletta smiles mid way through falling

that slam in bonus round on the backside crailslide was hilarious

13callsBS · « **Reply #17 on:** August 19, 2009, 02:45:50 PM »

I like it when photos look really gnarly.
I want the skater to be covered in dirt, maybe some blood, a sweat soaked shirt, teeth bared, risk element...

andrew pearl in turd life, zach lyons in get fam, and aaron suski has had a couple of photos where he looks just so damn happy. i think he had a photo in big brother and the caption just said "happiest crooked grind ever."

Karl Watson, and that Jaws kid.

This is the only one that comes to mind but Willy Santos in THE END when he does that lip slide. Dude seemed to smile and cut right out of frame perfectly.

Jose licked his lips after the fakie nosegrind bigspin in Bonus Round. That's worth a mention.

Cairo was smiling that whole part, made me even more psyched on him. Louie was eating shit in his part but always had a smile on his face too...

that whole video was one big smile
