Westgate is one of a kind. Pure POWER, with style and grace to spare. This is 16 minutes you won’t forget. Keep up with Thrasher Magazine here: www.thrashermag... / thrashermagazine / thrashermag / thrashermag
I'd way rather watch a part like this, where every fucking trick is simple, yet dialed and done at mach 5, than some super technical, flip-in flip-out part anyday.
Of course man... Think that’s why we are all here watching... Basic stuff that’s not so simple or easy and that’s why he gets paid...Jordan got paid to make layups that most every 8th grader learned to do.. Jordan just did it way better...Same principle with Westgate..Just that Brandon Probably should get paid way more than he does compared to others.
with most pros caring more about how their little braids and colorful shoes look in footage , Mr Westgate is being towed into what seems to be one for the ages.!! all kill no fill thank you for this part .
I have always admired and respected Westgate’s style of skating - just raw power and grit all while being so darn satisfying to see. Keep doing your thing Brandon; you don’t get enough recognition.
and a shitton of dirts grinds and slides. variel heel 50-50 all kinds of disgusting shit, that bigspin heelflip/lazer on the inclined asphalt was nuts, 75% of this part is enders lol
I love watching him skate, especially love slow motion too. His speed, pop, and commitment are incredible. Seriously, 7:11 doing this sort of gap leaves no room for error. You have to commit to clearing the rail. Nuts. 13:37 does not seem humanly possible.
That last Ollie is absolutely insane and so dangerous. Who would look at that and think that’s a spot? There’s a huge crack on the landing, a 20foot drop on the other side, a downhill landing, into a street. Brandon is the greatest
I know this is "old" but i still got hyped af when he landed the 360 over the gap, haha. I love when you get to experience some of the struggles that go into a make. I feel like on edits these days, stuff happens too fast. Like some skaters have a section full of enders, and every other trick needs to be in slow mo. Just like this dude! What a legend.
It's awesome to me how that feeling he had before trying that ender is relatable to every skater. Everyone has had that "there's no fucking way" feeling before trying a trick, even if it's not as gnarly as that cliff's edge of a bank ollie. With that said, this footage is amazing.
The ender is an ollie over a handrail into a cracked 22-stair ledge with a straight drop-off on the other side onto the edge of a curb into a downhill street. Let that sink in.
How can 90 people thumbs down this video? Westgate is an absolute beast that skates on a whole new level. Brandon keep on doing what you do because it is incredible.
lmao right after he dropped in on that ledge I started thinking, "man that'd be sick if he ollied over the handrail onto it" then sure enough 14:40 rolls around hahahah damn
I keep waiting for the quality of Westgate's parts to decline as he ages but he just keeps ripping at the same level... also kinda looks like that quiet kid from the polar express
honestly i cant believe hes been stacking clips and blowing away each part hes made, every time he moves teams it breaks my heart yet those "Welcome parts" are soo damn good cant help but love the guy for life, and what hes done and represented in skating, just a skater that wants to skate hard AF and the best spots the world can throw at him.....and we all get to benefit off the stoke. Westgates parts prob get me the most stoked when i watch them even though i cant even remotely skate like him he pumps me to go out there and git it
So dope from my home town . I remember 9th grade he called this girl in my math class to say he was in Tokyo on his birthday lol epic . Keep killing it man .
About that ender though. Man, I can't even imagine how it felt to roll away from that, Brandon was thinking so much about it and ended up rolling clean without killing himself too much. He is one of the gnarliest skaters of our time, that's a fact.
2:15 “can i speak to the manager” calls the cops when no one is threatening anyone, harming anyone, harming anyone else, or the property, only, potentially, themselves. does she do it for fun because she honestly needs to get a job or pick up knitting or something
That is fucking incredible.... talent only gets you so far, Brandon puts everything on the line and his hard work and determination shines through his character. What a solider.
Plain and simple WESTEGATE Is an east coast skater, east coast skaters always have a certain different style. Its gritty but smooth at the sametime. They can usually skate anything because they grew up having to.
