@@adamsmith583 I think thrasher started in 81. There was a lot of creepy television pastors with rape dungeons and such under their houses back then in the 80s, so it was defiantly worth being anti religion and punk rock during that time. I hope heaven looks like this as well.
Chris Russel was literally skating this event like most good skaters skate mini ramp events. Chris is just on a completely other level! Greyson's level of skating was unreal too he's another one that just made things look almost effortless! We also can't forget about that insane save he made by not literally crushing that one dudes head. There's a good chance That dude would've literally been in the hospital with some serious head and brain damage had this been almost anyone else there but Greyson making this look like his backyard park, is able to almost peek into the future and stop himself on a dime when needed! Mega props to him for keeping this dude from spending days in a hospital bed!! Can't forget Gotta shout out the Powell boys that went nameless in the vid! Matthew Wilcox's boneless off the channel gap box extension was stupid clean! Not to mention Hericles Fagundes' nosepick then overcrook were both so clean!! But really there were a lot of great dudes that went nameless here and then a few that just should not have even been skating because multiple times it looked like they were about to get someone else hurt because they had no business being involved in this kind of contest! Stay in your lane boys especially when it's trying to swerve into this level of gnarly skating!!
I like how everybody is riding bigger wheels again, I started skating as a kid in the 80's when everybody rode big, soft wheels. Then suddenly everybody was only riding the smallest, hardest wheels, which made actual street skating unnecessarily hard. I've been telling all my friends for years if you want to ride on the actual streets, sidewalks etc. you need bigger, softer wheels, and now all the big brands produce above 54mm/below 95a wheels again, which makes cruising through the city so much more fun.
How do you miss such a significant trick at the contest you are filming and producing? Also left out Matthew completely, he was up there with the top 5 skaters and zero clips
Matthew deserved better. He was skating just as hard as Greyson and Russell, he was getting buck as fuck and you guys made it seem like he wasn’t there.
They did very quickly in the beginning, it’s so quick you could miss it though. It was nice of them to even do that considering they only used 2 seconds of footy.
If i ever go to a skateboarding event and Greyson Fletcher is there ill just leave my skateboard in the car and pretend ive never even tryied to get up on it
@@mikeprince6685 Yes exactly. It's an old school trick often done on vert or on flat in combination with a boneless. It's where the names for Body Varial and Varial Flip come from.
Yo, wheels are great, but why not tank treads? It wouldn't suit tricks, or cruising, or even skateboards but as a tank tread guy... that would be beautiful.
So stoked- supported by monster. Can we get this bullsht out of skateboarding already, I mean most skate companies are bad enough and ran by rodents, but monster and all that trash should really be dogged and shlt on more. not opening up a "gnar thrasher bro hesh sesh". Whats next Supported by Mcdonalds? Shts getting weak.
@HARDL3FT haha no they're not. As a majority, absolutely n o t. Ask around kid. Oh and by the way, 42 year old home owner. How much is your rent? Keep supporting monster all you want, bud Clearly your position. Nobody ever gonna say wow man, that's sick.
@@shoDOHC 42 y.o. home owner and complaining about skating selling out… I mean I don’t get the angle. Skating is growing, that’s good to see! You’re more concerned about a banner than the skating.
@HARDL3FT skating always been 98% selling out. Always. My point as in my original comment is why is an ass kiss to monster the first thing you need to see in a video.. The skateboarding industry is basically a pile of steaming trash, ran by idiots, so it's never been a matter of selling out. Show me a thrasher video opening with "supported by Walmart and Zumiez" and let's see you feel the same way.
If you are going to cover a song why not do it verbatim? Okay the song has slurs in it but for a message and not hate. The Dicks-Hate the police. Don’t deviate just play the classic people shouldn’t be butthurt.
