OIAM NYC Finalist: Nate Rojas

[Jive Turkey]

does he have to sleep at the camp/loft/wherever the dudes are gonna stay, or are they gonna pick him up from home every morning?

Ha! I was thinking the same thing.
“Enjoy your bunk bed sausage fest fellas. I’m going home.”

[BuddyPal]

it would have been cool if the whole video was one long line

[Omamori]

So far he's my least favorite OIAM finalist. Maybe he'll kill it in NYC.

[Spaghett]

Kid's really good. Him and the rest of those "Goin Ham" kids came through Philly. Out of all of them, him and this kid Dylan were the only cool ones. Hope he makes it

[scorpion1001]

FUCK YEAH NATE!! so fucking stoked for this dude he KILLS it!

[slogant-shirt]

bored my ass right off my body

[1978]

everything looked kinda switch

thats what i was thinking.

my bet is this dude will win though.

[pizzafliptofakie]

I enjoyed it, but I don't think he'll contend well against the others that I've seen.

[Guy]

The kid isn't bad but he needs to learn to kickflip. His mob kickflips are painful on the eyes. Ex. Rocket flip front board on the rail was gross.

[NowhereInLife]

oh he might win, as his interface with the architecture seemed quite fluent. and he did upper quality tricks down some fine gaps.

go brooklyn.

nate is my homie, i've been filming with him for a while now for his new part im releasing soon, he kills it.
and yes he is still fully on emerica and bones, but then again matt militano is on think and that other kid is on lakai, so it really shouldn't matter. nate has no real board sponsor so i guess that counts?

and to anything negative about being a generic rail skater, this footage is years old, he isn't like this at all anymore. yeah he can still go in on a handrail but he's been killing ledges lately and doing some other urban shit that's way more interesting than just straight handrail footage. and nate's nothing like forrest except for the fact that they both have really good bigflips haha

matts not on think though....

it said that think flew him out to cali in some interview i thought? i don't really remember. either way, that kid kills it too. i saw him skating in jersey last weekend.. jesus christ

[Nosferatu]

they have a Little Southern California neighborhood in brooklyn?

[Skatan.]

ledge spot from 1:48 to 1:57 looks so fun..
hes really good but i hope that dude tyler takes it

[Tyroneshoelaces]

- i liked that.
- if slap was told he was a kid from cali who got footage in nyc people would be talking mad shit because of the rails and difficult tricks.
- i wasnt totally sold until i saw the bigspin heel.  i know that is a terrible statement but doing that trick regular and not switch is something i have completely given up hope on and it automatically earns my respect.

[manbergur]

I've definitely seen that BB line somewhere before.

Maybe Slap was scrambling to get a skater from NY into the contest and that's why his clip is different (longer) than the others.

Whitley did a great job hosting last seasons.  Now that he's no longer with Slap, who's gonna be doing it this year?  They should get Puleo.

wow i am out of the loop.  to me slap = whitley. and even more OIAM = whitley. what is he up to these days then?

they didnt fly him out, he had to pay for his ticket, but he did stay with them. and that was in the spring. then think and street corner went under distribution/tm switches. delatorre left for the same reasons. pretty much everytime Think got a new team manager they would contact matt ask for his footy, he would send it and no one would respond for two weeks and they would say give us a bit matt were really busy. so he waited and no repsonse still so he figured he was off after a month so he started skating other boards and entered OIAM.

[Bitter]

I got a kick outta the JT inspired BB line.

[chrisathans]

i don't think this guy will make it in new york

i hope that was a joke... the dude is from brooklyn

[Crazy Ralph]

everyparthashadabigflip

haha. dude doesn't actually have the greatest style, but i've seen him skate before and he is gnarly. hope the best for the hometown dude!

[bumpnrun]

When will they start filming oiam nyc?  I'm gonna be there in a week.  Wonder if I'll see them filming shit.

[manbergur]
