2023 SLS Sydney: Men's Knockout Round 

So right bro, this format is so much better

Vancouver OG

I want him to win so bad too; he deserves it and all the glory. I felt like Sean Malto was acting kind of bitter and sour towards him in his commentating.

Literally Decenzo has been on point a lot, I really want him to get that first place victory. At a Super Crown at most

Agree, he's perfect in that role.

absolutely crushing it, his commentary is so good. noticing he's getting more confident with cracking jokes. had me rolling a couple times in this one

Could not agree more.

F yeah bro

they ok jamie g is beast if he entered

They're technical but for me the Americans are better. I don't skate but I appreciate the more athletic part of high level skating. Some of the Americans literally fly. Dashawn Jordan and Chris Joslin come to mind.

Yeah, they're bringing it to another level. Such technicality AND consistency

i rather have a car built in Japan than one made elswhere

@@intellectic9155 If you don't skate, it's hard to really appreciate technical skating but usually, it's considered harder and hence scored higher than big gaps and flyouts.

There is no default spot. There is a point system that gives you your position. If he was that bad, he wouldnt be there.

@@komoonkh​​⁠​​⁠sorry brother but not true. Sean Malto talks about it on the nine club. They most definitely DO invite older skaters to come out and will give them spots in a group if they are willing to compete that week.

@@Wooooosaaaaaa Its kinda nice to see the legends compete too, in comparison the young ones and just to see their presence. But I do agree that when get so low points, that they suppress younger skaters, they should probably give space.

That's fuuuucked up bro...but so damn true!!!!!!🤣🤣

True.... But theyre all awesome!

Thought so too

I am glad someone else caught that. He definitely got that wrong.

I know right!!!! Its hella weird!!!!! Noone remembers Felipe winning his first sls or did we imagine it lol

🤣🤣🤣

Jordan has pop in his skating his hops are a thing of beauty he definitely worked on getting the board to his chest and still stick the landings

Hey, my man. No one cares... jk. It's crazy how he's still able to compete at this level even after surgery.

The trucks mainly. Having the trucks broken in just right in terms of both how turning and scooping tre-flips feel, and how the grooves have been broken in on the actual grinding part of the axle. I'm sure basically all of them do have an entire other complete setup ready to go, they just don't put it together because they would rather just put a new deck onto their old trucks if their deck does break, which is overwhelmingly more likely to happen than having a truck or wheel issue

@@justinmusicandskateboardin9282 Justin Thank you for answrering. I think I understand what you say about the grinding part, the axle itself this makes a lot of sense to me,. But I don´t mean the moment a truck breaks, this happens happens less often than a deck. I mean what you describe as "they would rather just put a new deck onto..." I can give an example: In this episode Dashawn Jordans board broke. The Nose was off. But instead of putting a new own deck on his trucks he seems to have used Shane O`neills Skateboard. Or maybe he put his own trucks on Shanes deck. Eitherway he didn´t use or had an own replacement deck. This is what I mean and here lies my original question. I am sorry if I explained my self not so well. And its not only Dashawns case of boardbrake, actually everytime I can remember a board breaking SLS its like a search and ask adventure, "please who can lend me a board quickly". Instead of pulling a new deck out of the bag and screwing the old trucks off and on. I Do understand that Skateboarding is not Nascar or Formular 1 where you have a complete team of "tire changers" but to have a replacement deck with you, to change the trucks, If youre used to it, shouldnt take many minutes.

Nah

Hardflip bs tail down the hand rail

It's on Rumble for over a month or so :O

@@wutangcatclan Oh shii

Darude “sandstorm”

@@royalvibes4433 that’s not Sandstorm by Darude.. Sandstorm is a legendary trance techno track from the 90s…

heelflip fs blunt & heelflip front crook were both underscored. Happy to see Netsuke advance nonetheless.

@@BobbyClementsto be fair the judges have probably no reference how hard these tricks are cause they are kinda retired and also they didn’t really happen before 😂

Totally agree, he was definitely showing a ton of bias in his commentating.
