I don't really get it either. He ain't easy on the eyes and nothing in that was remarkably impressive. Can't really use age as an excuse either cuz Kader is much younger and much better.

Seems like a flow kid who was friends with the right crew and became AM by association, i.e. kader and t-funk

I wanna like the kid but I can't. I think his style will mature as he grows, and maybe it'll be like Louie was when Flip was nothing but 12 year olds.

That full cab down the hill was the best trick in the entire part, seemed kind of on a whim.

i still dont think he shouldn't have had any speed wobbles going down that first hill after the backtail, but besides that i have no strong feelings either way.

I thought these raw clips were much more interesting and entertaining to see than his part in Young Emericans, seems to skate pretty fast and a lot of the spots he skated look rough as shit. With that being said though, I still don't think he's am-worthy. Full cab going downhill after the one-footer was pretty crazy.

I'm sure I'll get a lot of hate for this too, but I feel like Victor Aceves' skating is way past all of these new guys. He's actually doing pro level shit that fits in with the Baker and Emerica stuff from years past. 

As much as Kader seems like an awesome kid (and is without a doubt a good skateboarder), I feel like he's overhyped and praised way too highly at the moment. Watching his skating just doesn't do much for me yet. Maybe it's because I hate willys and overwillys on handrails...shit looks lazy as fuck.

I enjoyed it. He charges spots and seems to go for it. Sure he might have crazy arms and a wild style, but maybe skateboarding needs a little sketch in a world of flavorless contest skaters. He's interesting to watch and has a different trick selection, even if those tricks aren't the hardest. Should have stuck that blunt bigspin.

I feel like he has a Lizard King-esque kind of style and like Lizard it's not everyone cup of tea. I liked it, its definitely different and stands out in his own way.

Post trick, mid hill bomb full cab.  That's the sort of shit that separates the hooked up from the not hooked up in my mind.  This post might've made more grammatical sense with a bunch of dashes, but I just can't put that many dashes into two sentences.  Probably could've edited it while writing these last two sentences.  Didn't.  I'm drunk.  I love you guys.

Definitely seeing the Lizard King comparisons. Once he grows up a little I think we're going to see his full potential. I liked it.

Haha I'm glad I'm not the only one.  He basically did a heelflip and then reverted on the ground.  It's weird that Chris Wimer is flow for emerica but this kid is am for them.

Easy there ee cummings, I think he's just saying that people who don't fully rotate backside heelflips should be systematically rounded up and destroyed for the greater good.

my bad actually I think he just meant he prefers that trick to be done differently. I don't know where I got that other part from, yikes.

Yeah back heel was questionable, maybe a trick he doesn't do often or just learned. It wasn't in his part.
