Fuck this part is amazing!

aside from the yo flips the dude has some pretty tasty stuff, good for him

braxus · « **Reply #34 on:** March 23, 2012, 01:38:11 PM »

crazy talented but super stale trick selection/style

sebastian · « **Reply #35 on:** March 23, 2012, 03:04:22 PM »

truth is, he does technical shit with a pretty good style (bolts) and he skates fucking fast. what more do you want?

Snowman · « **Reply #36 on:** March 23, 2012, 03:52:05 PM »

i cant fathom how one could hate on him or say he doesn't deserve to be pro.

seriously, everyone undermines this guy's skill level the reason most of you are hating is because hes TOO good and you cant relate...
appreciate the talent and the back noseblunts.

dood this fool is fun as fuck to watch. him and matt miller make me wanna try those cole lites. ive all ways been a fan, and hes not uber robotic like i used to think. there was a lil sketch in a few of those s.p.o.t clips, which i like.

and i feel ziggy and steamy ray summed it up pretty good

I prefer when skating looks like it takes some kind of effort

Agree with this...
Skating is just too easy for Felipe, definitely deserves pro though, fucking insane

AssBandit · « **Reply #40 on:** March 23, 2012, 05:15:46 PM »

I'm stoked for this. He's been skating pro level from the jump. And for people complaining about style, I'd way rather watch Filipe than Cole or T-Puds any day. His first line in his Plan-B Vandalism part alone deserves pro status.

BraveUlysses · « **Reply #42 on:** March 23, 2012, 05:29:32 PM »

He's the first skater to make me scream "ewww" out loud when watching footy. He's sick though. He did a kickflip front nose I really liked in a LRG ad. I also thought it was cool when he switchflipped the Berrics stairs first try after just waking up minutes ago.

Fred_Brazil · « **Reply #43 on:** March 23, 2012, 05:31:02 PM »

I`ve seen this guy get better and better over the years, from the early start everybody knew that he had a bright future on skating.
Back in 2001 he was already winning every other contest around here, after some time he had such ridiculous tricks on lock like kickflip bs smiths down handrails and kickflip fs crookeds on contest runs, this 7 years ago.

He was a little bit cocky back then, but it seems that it was just a phase and hes a pretty chill guy right now. All I`m saying is that he has payed his dues, it definately didnt come easy for him and he deserves the pro status. I`m really glad for him and hope he keeps pushing technical street skating.

He's honestly has one of the grossest styles I've ever seen. Even Wacky Inflateable Arm Man is less annoying than this guy.

mr.tie dye and dashiki is talking about someone's style?

velocirapedher · « **Reply #46 on:** March 23, 2012, 06:56:35 PM »

hes good at tricks and shit but i just cant/dont give a fuck

Felipe is underrated; I'm calling it.

He can do a lot of the shit P.Rod does, and he's moving twice as fast.

Good for Felipe.

L33Tg33k · « **Reply #48 on:** March 23, 2012, 08:36:14 PM »

The only thing Gustavo does wrong is 360 flips, and sometimes I think he does them bad just to spite us. If a bunch of keep talking shit maybe he'll start skating slow too.

No doubt he's better than good enough to be pro, but, as counter-intuitive as it may seem, I prefer when skating looks like it takes some kind of effort. In that LRG tour thing that just came out, he switch flip backside nosegrinds a pretty big hubba like it was a curb, which is probably one of the crazier things ever done, but it just didn't get me psyched. I dunno. Congrats to the dude, regardless. He's really good.

i know what you mean about the switch flip nosegrind it was really sick but his footy doesn't get me siked to go skate

Yes, Felipe is really talented, but you guys do realize that ams skate in Tampa Pro all of the time, right? And that deck doesn't have his name on it, so that's not proof either. I'll wait until I see the press release or the pro model.

DaSk8D00D · « **Reply #52 on:** March 23, 2012, 11:57:51 PM »

some people just like to do tre's that way although im not necessarily a fan i aint gon hate on somebody purely on the fact that they do yo flips. real talk i feel like that shits just the new trendy thing to hate on. "aw man this guys good as fuck and 10 times better than me and half of the industry but he does yo-flips so that makes me the more "legit" skater."

i aint sayin yo-flips are cool or anything but come on now yall overreact to that shit way too much.

nylin · « **Reply #53 on:** March 24, 2012, 01:11:49 AM »

Besides this dudes yo'd out 3 flips it's hard to deny he fucking rips. Does super tech shit and skates pretty fast. Not really a fan of this dude but he kills it no doubt.

syddddd · « **Reply #56 on:** March 24, 2012, 08:31:40 AM »

bout fucking time
who cares about his style and the way he does his tricks,
dude's got a bigger bag of more consistency than most others
who the fuck cares about how somebody looks when they can shred like him?

That drop dead contest run would win any contest over the past 10 years.
