Tried to embed this yesterday and couldn't, lol.

This is the best skateboarding ever. Editing is slick and filming well done, it shows technical and balls out skating and the epic slams the accompany this level of skill.

It's also a great Judas Priest song.

Yowza! Now that is some railsliding.

That shoulder injury he has probably needs some surgery.

That guy's ability to take a beating is impressive. I would have quit skateboarding if I was getting worked like that.

Imagine what he could do if he could strict military press his bodyweight or 2xbw DL!!

Now THAT type of derision usually only occurs in disenfranchised former Starting Strength forum members...

...I know that, because I used to be one ;-)

Loved Skateboarding when I was coming up ...No skate parks in Iowa in the 70s though ..Alva ,Bert Lamar , Dave Andrecht , The Powell -Peralta guys ...and of course Jay Adams ...since the invent of youtube ..I still check out the old skate footage of contests I could only get in stills in Skateboarder magazine...My prized possesion was my Dave Andrecht Sims skateboard with Indy 169 trucks and Gyro single conical wheels..wich at the pinnacle of skateboard collecting was worth about four thousand dollars about six years ago...My sister gave it to the kid across the street when I left for the Army....

^^^ That sucks, man.

This guy would have found a cure for cancer if he had hard-on for science and medicine like he does for riding a board with wheels down stairway rails.

:snigger

The bad part about science is that it rarely involves copious amounts of Cali's best weed and tons of random 20-something hipster chicks.

It also requires more than an eighth grade education.

Fucking noisy boring shit.

No

Damn good stuff. Hadn't heard Jeff Kendall or Christian Hosoi in twenty years or more.

Looking forward to seeing this:

Yeah, GM. That looks sweet. All of these skate and BMX docs coming out are really cool for me.
Lol at Cab getting weepy.
Rising Son is a good one about Hosoi, and a guy from Columbus named Patrick O'Dell did a series for vice call Epicly Later'd that focuses on less known and generally more modern skate icons (mostly from the "dead" years of the 90s just before the X Games resurrected skating).
There was one about Jason Jessee a few years back too. He's a fucking madman.

I'd like to see this in it's entirety.

JJ is or at least was a complete dick. Used to skate at Tobins ramp in Fallbrook and he would show up and be a dick to everyone. Chris Miller - Nicest guy ever though.

It also requires more than an eighth grade education.

Rodney Mullen PhD molecular biology IIRC

True. There's a newer pro from Scotland with a similar education.
I'm just trying to reinforce negative stereotypes here.
