Y'all are way to obsessed with Andrew Allen. He does some cool stuff, but overall, his output isn't spectacular. Aside from his backside flip at LA High, I really can't think of much great stuff he's done lately. Are dork tricks like caveman nosegrinds suddenly rad? Also, even though everybody is going to ignore this point and rage over me making fun of some random slap idol, despite Kyle's hammers, I liked Elijah's part way more. At first I thought Elijah was lame, but he's grown on me, and now I really love his style and trick/spot selection.
AA's Hockey part was sick because he mixed in a lot of crustier and lesser skated LA spots. His skating is powerful and he does some unique gnarly switch stuff. He seems to be one of those dudes that looks like he might slam on every trick which makes it sicker. It seems like he's been coming out with a lot of quality footage in the past two years, more than ever. I agree on the caveman nosegrinds being bullshit tho.
I quit skating for a time due to piling out
It's strange to think at one point Elijah was a little Corey Duffel clone riding for Foundation and Osiris. He's come a long way for sure, one of my recent favorites. As previously stated a handful of times the nosegrind nollie flip was incredible.

He has some cool switch stuff, but so much of his "switch" barrier skating really is indistinguishable from going fakie, which isn't all that cool to me. He's not terrible, he's just overrated.

Impish sausage is definitely gonna blow up as a euphemism this year
idk that mac seems a bit fancy for bobbyi'd like to think he's using like an ancient hewlett-packard he lifted from behind one of the old science buildings at the local university
True story: he serves food at a Mexican restaurant in Greenpoint Brooklyn. It was a trip to have him deliver me my taco bowl personally to my table.
part of the experience of dining with puleo is the process of finding the restaurant though, you know this
the nose grind nollie flip that Elijah does is on of the best things I've ever seen.

Asked this in the video thread. I know quite a few vans riders didn't have clips but they were mostly transition guys and legends. Anyone know why Gilbert Crockett didn't even get a clip? He battling injuries or something.
