Ahh the golden age of skateboarding back when skateboarding companies sponsored skateboarding and not multibillion dollars companies looking to cash in on a subculture they know nothing about.
You're just salty cuz Red Bull, Monster, and Nike never sponsored you. 🙄 j/k... fukk those companies and fukk 'corporate' skateboarding. Now we have even the likes of Dwindle being dead. At this pace, pretty soon you can only buy a deck from some kook in a suit.
@@OwlfluenceIf you weren’t there you wouldn’t understand. It’s not that core brands did it better, it’s just the feeling that’s associated with the end of an era. skate videos were $30. when you spent money on it, it’s because a. it was the only way to see it and b. You’ve been waiting on it for years. Skate shoes had airbags and little pockets to hide your weed, ccs magazines in the mail, trucks didn’t turn, it was great.
The legend of Andrew Reynolds being a character i could choose in tony hawk's pro skater game being frome polk county Florida always inspired me to get outside of my self limiting mind and throw myself down the black death and almost die trying to live
Your crazy, id be really impressed if anyone pro or am could hit that line with all those tricks in a contest setting. Guess someone has to hate though, that dude has moved on to changing the industry and keeping it skater owned. What exactly have you been up to for the skateboarding community? Besides talking crap🤔
Crazy to think this run would barely be good enough to call a “memorable Tampa Am” run now. Back when a fs flip to flat was the banger that everyone talked about for weeks.
Go skate at skatepark of Tampa and see why it's a legendary skate spot. Ask around the shop for Mat Giles, or Abdeas rivera for insider street spot knowledge about the Tampa convention center and the bro bowl
Idk why but I could never be as big of a fan of Reynolds as I could be with other pros. I just never thought he had an amazing bag of tricks or a style that I really digged.
This would just about make Tampa am nowadays. People like Andy Anderson are throwing down tricks in competitions you'd only see as banger video part enders that took 6 weeks to film.
That's more of a technical trick that is definitely hard but it's more controlled because of the distance involved. this run dude is clearing big gaps, landing on different angles and got multiple gnarly tricks in a row. Times have changed for sure, people emulate the tony hawk video game because it's safer to combine multiple tricks to "get a high score" then chucking your body off something huge or risking the pain of going as fast as you can to clear a gap. Both styles are amazing but give me the big stuff with the risk involved if I'm watching 😎
