Kader has got to be in my top 5 favorite skaters. He's got such good style.

"It's hard out here for a nigga"
~Kader Sylla,  2017

[matter of fact]

that boardslide to willy grind was waaay cooler than i ever thought it could be. that was a heavy slam on the back three kickflip, how old is this kid? not stoked on him racking up concussions at such a young age (or any age)

That clip was really hard to watch.
The rest of it was incredible though. Kader is the shit. He makes skating look super fun, which is a relief after those douchy birdhouse b-sides which made skateboarding look like something I would never want to try.

[Silky Johnson]

My favorite out of the 3 new Baker ams

[shark tits]

i like kader because he has dandruff. i have dandruff too. dry scalp karkass krew represent!

[GAY]

Goodness Dave Chapelle is good on a skateboard!

[Jared]

Damn he's good, can't believe he skates 169s.

[Burton Ernie]

I don't know if he's gonna get taller, but when that kid gets more powerful he's gonna be amazing. I mean, he's already amazing, so like, double-amazing.

 Love this dude.  Watching people coming up in skating now, I feel for them.  Who wants to skate bigass handrails?  The big names in the early 90s could film skating curbcuts and benches. The reason I think of that is cause Kader seems to embody a fun aspect to skating.  I care about people's physical well being too much to want them to jump down 20stair handrails.  I'd be fine if the pros stopped filming the el torros and shit, I'd still enjoy it.

I think he's 15, maybe 14, either way it's a bummer that head injuries are such a normalized thing in skateboarding, especially young kids too. Since there aren't really any old skaters yet I don't think we've seen the extent of what constantly banging our heads on pavement is going to do longterm. In an interview Templeton talked about how forgetful he is and how he can't remember a lot of things from early in his career.

Kader is the man.  The future is looking bright.

[Little Debbie]

he's talented but looks like he's still learning how to bail properly

[the snake]

this drinking time sig is gold, had to say it
and Kader is killing it !

[Badmeaningood]

He reminds me of Guy at his age.

[micky682]

He reminds me of Guy at his age.

Yeah, he is the next Guy Mariano.

[Tyroneshoelaces]

that was awesome.  He kills it.  is he really 14 or 15?  incredible.  he's going to be so good, he rips transition too.

side note, it also makes me appreciate how incredible bastien was.  most of this was filmed when he was 13-15.  fucking mind blowing.

[Lobo]

the force is strong with this one!

[kid casserole]

In my opinion, he's really good but not nearly on Bastien's level.  Bastien kind of cant be compared to anybody.

I found myself worrying more about his tailbone, he came down on it full throttle multiple times.

He has a rare self-assurance in his style for such a small kid, pretty amazing to see.

Little dude can take a beating! Just watching those back 5050 attempts made my ass sore. That kickflip over the rail was huge especially for a smaller guy riding a giant board.

I really have a hard time seeing a kid take such a beating, but there's no denying that he's one of the young skaters with the absolute best style (and technical skills)! Impressive!

  He can do what he wants to but it looks gnarlier then the military to me.  I can think there might be more fun shit for him to be doing at his age but regardless of what I think I'm sure he has fun ripping big stuff and hanging with legit pro skaters tho.  The kid makes money for baker lets not forget.  What are you gonna say to the kid if your baker, "hey you hit head your head too many times maybe you should chill on the handrails"  errrrrrrr!! no.

[VHS ERA]

Kader is gonna be a problem if he stays the course. Glad to see Baker, Deathwish etc still killing it

[HisDudest]

I don't see the big fuss, no style and easy tricks
