AUSTYN GILLETTE || QUIK 

this is whats skateboards really about, just pushing and cruising around the streets, pulling some cool tricks efortless, just chillin. feeling great

This part makes me yearn for younger days when my friends and I would take trips all over L.A. and different areas in Southern California with little other cares or obligations. Just pushing each other to progress and conquer fears, sightseeing and enjoying each other’s company. Of course, life goes on and people grow apart and lose interests in the things they were once so passionate about, but those are some of my favorite memories that I’ll cherish for a very long time. Although I don’t really skate anymore and neither does anybody I know, sometimes I’ll stick pick up the board or watch a few skate videos. This video makes me nostalgic, happy and just emotional overall. Although it was a relatively short amount of time in my life I spent skateboarding, my life would never be the same without those experiences. This video personally embodies what skateboarding was and is to me. Thanks to Austyn and everyone who took part in creating this video, well done.

this is literally what life is about

Whos coming back here in 2019 to get that good feeling?! Best Vid.

Skates so fast, his filmer needs a car.

The nine people that disliked this wanted him to skate slower

Alive in 2021. This video is almost 8 years and still better than a bunch of videos from last years.

being able to skate like austyn would probably the best thing ever

He is such an amazing street skateboarder pushing speed amazing and his tricks so cool and at that speed perfect....one day i would like to street skate just like him one of my new favourite skateboarders!!!! I am practicing to get my pushing speed faster also trying to get my ollies down....

Siempre lo veo como inspiración. Me sigue pareciendo el mejor video de Skate que e visto. ❤️🔥

I fucking love this.. Still watch it all the time, timeless skating

forget about the bus - go skating

I could watch this video a ducking million times and never get bored

A man skating that fast, has no time to be stopped by the cops.

it's so clean and well edited and cinematic

2021, & i still love the concept to this video. Collin Kennedy has always had such a pure approach towards skateboarding. While Austyn has had the most style on the board.

the spirit of dylan lives within him !

I don't think this video will ever get old or dated. Pushing a board around a city, flying down the sidewalk, weaving through people, jumping over curbs: all skaters can relate to that, even if we can't do switch backside flips on banks. There's something special about being part of a living, breathing city, and this video shows how skating is as much a part of it as anything else - the people walking or pushing strollers or playing ball - shown here.

Outfit change mid ride, Austyn Gillette is a god!

Song : Chambray by We Barbarians

coolest video and the coolest skater, fuckin amazing video

Lmfao great video, but it's fucking funny how a skate video got niggas up in here getting sentimental and shit, talking about how this is what life is all about and shit

This inspired me a lot, I used to watch this all the time during HS

This is beautiful.

Después de todos estos años y de todo lo sucedido vuelvo a ver este video... Y pienso, qué jodida obra de arte. Una joya desconocida de you tube

This video has the vibes of a montage at the end of a documentary/coming-of-age film showing the happy ending and the grown up main character pursuing their passion

This was peak Austyn Gillette, I love this video

For sure one of my all time favorite clips...

Crazy how there is almost no difference between his regular and switch skating..

This video changed my approach to skating

holy fuck cant believe i havent seen dat shit before. his switch push is Incredible

Quicksilver, we need more videos like this one. Thank you .

Why couldn't this be longer?

Song : /watch?v=i75-xBexj9I

Remember watching this when it came out, before going street skating with my friends. Miss those days

3:51 that tyre shop is in Fight Club

This is what street skating is.

Those must be some well maintained sidewalks and streets. It's crazy how he can skate that fast without busting his ass on an uneven sidewalk or something.

This is my favourite skating video on the internet, I keep coming back and watching it. It's so beautifully shot and the music is perfect. For some reason it reminds me of a John Hughes film... if John Hughes directed skate videos. Well done.

Growing up in this area, this video really resonated with me lol

fucking beautiful fs , popped and perfect 180º rotation x.x

Iconic moment for Austin gillete you deserve it brother raw skating ability and agility keep going strong my friend💪

I miss 2012

I wanna live in LA so bad!!!

Shit... it's been 10 years?? I still keep thinking about this video whenever I think "cool skate vid".

anytime I watch an Austyn Gillette skate video, I can count on some good new music. Aslo, the dude shreds

Awesome vid man makes me want to skate again and get that feeling of being free! ✌️

Def makes me miss LA 🌴

I keep coming back to this....

He looks like Mr. Orange from "Reservoir Dogs".

One of the best skater skateboarding has got

The music went PERFECT with this.

💚💙💜❤

Years later, still one of my favorite pieces of video

One of th first skate videos I watched online with a higher level of cinematography,but it was on Vimeo

He's fast

Hard times right now, video always bring me a smile.

fu !! i thought yeees a new austyn gillette video and than that ::::::

I was in high school when this video was released, and man it’s still amazing years later! I always try come back to this video, I know I’m not the only one!

Reminds me of watchin Gonz rome the streets of OC,this kid taped into that energy,good job

Lucky you!!! I don´t really get it, after all your descriptions of LA how can it not be a place to live in? You wanna switch? ;) I live in a place they say is one of the best places on earth, only extremly boring!

Can someone tell what is the name of that song?

Colin Kennedy is a master genius director 🧠👑🎥

Most motivating video out there. Just pushing to the spot instead of using public transport is so much more fun with this in mind. Every sidewalk becomes a skatepark and every bump a new spot. That's what skateboarding should be about. Push. Go fast. And have fun while doing so.

there goes a man not afraid of speed. Or switchstance.

Unless you live in Britain and it rains all the fucking time.

today i watched the breakfast club, a john hughes film, then i read this comment and watched this video, stoked! haha

Man. This video was so cool when it first came out

Just like when you’re a passenger in a car and you’re picturing all the tricks you’d do down the street. Maybe even using your fingers to visualise and feel it. Super organic. Much love

This is fucking superb, such credit to all who made this. I’ve watched it 4 times in an hour and it’s no less beautiful.

still my fav skate video. the feels

geez LA looks part third world country.

Quik got it right with this one.

wicked awesome, just what skateboarding is...

I live in LA. It's pretty wonderful. It's a place to grow up. It's like any other city, a hodge pot of culture. It is a place to see life at its purest.It also has some awesome skate spots. In my opinion, unfortunately, it is not a place one will like to live in.

Perfect in both stances

Who the hell filmed this? It's insane! Also, Gillette is the best

you dont know me, and most of your videos are 480 0r 360p

Nothing embodies skateboarding more than this edit. Freedom individually streets speed art landscape

Still watch this on the regular. Great skating, great style, great music, great filming. This is art.

2022

...

The only bad thing about this video is when it ends.

Saw this like 3 times, just tday 😎

The trick of this video is the B/S Flip at the begin. TOP!!!!!!!

Fucking amazing.

I wish I could be so good at Skating like him... So much fun I guess :-)

Nice filming, editing, and skating- Austyn Gillette is fucking amazing.

Although, for the theme of the video i think he should of worn the same clothes for each trick. lol

The endless shots of people was just creepy, like, we get it

To much shit in the way of his skating

My go to vid when I'm drunk, makes want to work less and skate more...

white boy from brea doing big things!

this is called "Quik" on vimeo lol which one is it?

best skate video

The man can really cover ground with those pushes.

Still the longest line ever.

He looks so comfortable skating so fast... I always wonder how he manages to slow down afterwards but the camera always cuts it..:(

What camera? Someone please tell me

This is what skateboading is all about! All it has ever been about! having fun!
