Roll Forever - Fucking awesome. Stanton and Busentiz both have better parts than in Chichagof. JT Aultz does a great tribute to Matt Hensley(for anyone who's at least seen the questionable video, you'll recognize it). Huf is Huf, and in top Huf form. The rest of the team has solid parts, especially Ernie Torres. That makes two awesome Real videos that I've seen(Real to Reel being the other), and totally worth watching.

you thought bam had a good part? he makes me feel like killing myself that someone so gay can be so rich and famous and underserving of it when so many better skaters out there with better style, tricks and that work harder get nothing

BLEAH.
I suppose someone had to pull a "omg bam iz gay cuz he rich and does stupid shit and everyone else is tons better" at some point.
I'm certainly not the first to admit I'm a bit tired of whatever homogenized version of CKY Bam's working on now, nor will I be the last. But here's the deal: Bam's part is much, much longer than most of the other skaters, without becoming overly long. His music may not be of the genre of my choice, but neither Motorhead or Turbonegro suck, which is more than I can say for a lot of parts. But neither of these are as important as the skating involved, which is easily as good as most of the best pros out there. As for "anyone could do better stuff", well, I don't know about you, but I've really never seen anyone else even bother trying 5050-to-5050s. Nor have I seen much in the way of flatground bluntslides(though some) let along 360 pivot blunts. Or how about powerslide-to-270s off a funbox? And then there's stuff like the huge BS crook or the kickflip down the narrow bank. Or fakie 540 shuvit 180 body varial! Or how about the 360 tailwhips? And that's just the stuff in this particular video. I don't know why shitting on Bam's style is so popular, but just because some good skaters don't get all the praise they deserve you shouldn't begrudge the one who does manage to get it.

I agree with the post above, more or less.
Though... I have nothing else to add to this topic, since I haven't seen any new videos in, oh, almost two years...

no. me and half of sydney could kill his arse. one little city and half the skaters in it could out skate him on almost every terrain BUT maybe bowl and even then i know some bowl skaters better than him. like in a 2 week holiday half the skaters that have been skating for more than 3 years could produce a better part. he is seriously so shit. whoa, cess slide 270 out, that's pure and utter shit and i can not convey how much i hate the tricks he does. just because the other people in the video had shit parts doesn't mean his part was good. good in comparison but not good. i'm not hating on him because it's cool, nor does anyone else. people hate on him for being such a wanker and horrible skater. easily the werst pro ever, werster than that guy that pushed mongo for world ind.

I've seen worse than Bam where pros are concerned.... I'm not saying he's great, but he isn't horrible either. Besides, even if some of his tricks are retarded, at least they're amusing to watch.

Overwhelming nationalism and possibly misplaced braggartry(I've never seen your skating) aside, you make a fair, if inadvertent, point on opinions, to which you're entitled. I was being a dick when accusing you of hating Bam because it's popular, but a lot of that time I get the feeling that most people simply insult him for just such a reason, which I think is ridiculous. I personally like a lot of the stuff he does, skate-wise, regardless of my personal opinions of him. But I hear nothing but either unwarranted praise or unwarranted shit tossed in his direction all day and it just strikes me as ridiculous sometimes. I hear the same stuff about Koston, Hawk, and even Penny, so I'm just lead to believe that while sometimes it's honest opinion, sometimes it's just a bunch of shit spewed out by the kids "too cool" to like the popular or famous skaters. Anyway, I think we've hijacked this thread long enough, onto reviewing!

the people who hate on koston are stupid. he's probably the best street skater, i think the only thing that you could not like about him is his style. i dont know why anyone would hate on penny. i could see tony hawk, the whole sellout thing, but even thrasher made a video game. i could see with the boom boom huckjam thing, though. and people saying tony hawk sucks at skating, thats just stupid. he still rips.

i won't respond, i hate bam too much and i'll sound like a shit head if i continue. and the point with sydney, i should of just said that any city in the world with a half decent skate scene would have better skaters than him.
