like he built a wooden box, painted it to disguise it as bricks and then put grass and moss around it to make it look real. also that launch up to that flat bar is painted to look like the loading dock. People i've spoken to are really stressing this like its the end of the world or as bad as the crazy frog. but people are stupid.

although it is kind of lame (why not just skate proper spots?) it isn't the end of the world. it'd be like if someone had a hell cool and tech line but it was in a skate park, kinda not cool but it isn't THAT bad

saw first love, the new transworld one, and it was pretty good.
as i recall, it started out with shiloh greathouse, and i recall many slide to grind thingers on this one thin ledge, a good part. i seem to recall that omar salazaar was next, and his part really kicked ass. that guy goes so fast, and does these awesome high speed little ollie tailscrapes that are just so kick ass. and he does a taildrop off this ledge into the craziest bank ever. he's gnarly. i remember ryan gallant in there, mainly because he does the best switch kickflips ever. one over a rail is caught so perfectly, and so smooth, then the other on flat, just so perfect. i totally know how to kickflip again. just throwin that out there. i think leo romero is in this vid. ah, yes, he is. the only thing i can remember is he nosegrinds a rail and does this cool little pop out, just cool. there may have been another, i dont know. i just remember this rad line, some guy ollies a hydrant, tre's offa curb, kickflip up a curb, then goes, pops his board into his hand, runs along a chest high ledge, throws it down then bs 360's over a rail off the ledge. seems so difficult.
anyhoo, i liked it

whatever by new deal from 92 or 93. my favourite skate era with the low to the ground double, late pressure under flippery things. i swear i saw a boardslide late flip out in there somewhere.

In reference to gallants switch flip, Rodrigo Tx was switch flipping benches before gallant learned the joys of masturbation.

so were rodrigos. And fast. And over picnics tables. In lines.
Rodrigo Tx is seriously the unsung switch master.

rodrigo is only 20 years old, it's not like he's that OG...but yes he is the switch master but gallant has better switch flips.plus rodrigo pushes switch mongo which is almost as bad as normal mongo, like we get the fucking idea, he's goofy, he doesn't need to ram the fact down our throats by pushing such ugly switch mongo.

saw pig - slaughterhouse, and it is a good video. theres some cool stuff in it, like at the long three stair that everyone did a nosegrind on in yeah right in sanfrancisco, someone jumps off their board, slides on their feet through a wet spot, then jumps on a board, then does like a switch heel down the three or something. and there were alot of good parts, my favorite was ragdoll, last part. really hammer stuff. stalefish hollywood 16, handdrag fs board shuv out on this massive hubba, and my favorite, layback boardslide to manual off the curb down the staples center 18 stair hubba. this is a pretty good vid

I don't like gallant that much.
