The battle makes seeing the landing THAT much sweeter. My nephew is a skater so I get to see, and film, the struggle. Its awesome when they finally land it. You can see the relief in the shoulders when they roll away from "it". ✌🏾

Can I have free shoes for Christmas or no

yo give my man big daddy them free shoes

Vans give Big Daddy his damn shoes already

+1 for big daddy’s free shoes

Noticed that too. Mental.

Hah he “tightened the fuck out of” them. Unbelievable

If he had tightened them at the start… FIRST GO!

Exactly!! Hahaha

@@markmccall9027 Indeed

this is why its the best sport

@@shitfaced1337 agreed

Gotta do what ya gotta do haha

This is probably an unpopular opinion in the skate community but not respecting other people's property to some extent is a problem. I'd say drilling into a roof is a problem unless you have permission. Otherwise why should anyone respect your property? What if people just started breaking people's skateboards? I'm sure at some point yall would even say a line needs to be drawn on respecting others property. Most likely when it starts to affect yours...

@@thejarjosh to a certain degree I agree with you, I think there are a lot of instances where skaters take it to far then act like the property owner is the jerk for getting mad, that isn't right. If you're going to take it to a point where you're damaging property you don't own you should be willing to accept the consequences or don't do it.

Dopest skater alive

Dankwheelie watches skating, that’s so sick.

There’s no way they didn’t get permission

@@John-Doe-Yo they didn't

@@John-Doe-Yo they didnt, its no big deal lol its like 2 screws.

it looks like its a shop in little russia or something where tf is this filmed

Amazing tought

You nailed it! I couldn't add to that if I wanted to. ✌🏾

❤✌

Yeah, this stuff looks a little different as you get older.

Eat concrete sweetie

Yep. CTE ain't no joke. It is very serious

Not every spot deserves to be a "my war" there needs to be real heart, struggle and determination to be it

Absolutely. That shot at 4:22 shows how gnarly that spot is

haha its still loose when he tighten it

seriously how frustrating is that. He literally put himself through probably 10 tries and 2 head slams for no reason at all. he had it every single try

Johnnie Lurker haha I thought the same was like fuck still wild

No not necessarily. I skated with loose trucks all my life and tons of times I'd try to hill bomb or do other crazy sht on my friends boards and it completely fks my balance up. If you've learned how to skate from day 1 with really loose trucks skating with tight trucks will complete throw your balance off especially when your doing crazy sht at least for me. Obviously I can still skate with tight trucks but skating something big no way it's too sketchy. It feels weird even grabbing the nose and jumping on a board with tight trucks because I'm expecting to go whatever side of the truck my foot first lands but I end up going straight. (That last sentence probably didn't make sense it's hard to explain)

“And all skateboarders know, when you’re in way too deep, there no turning back” - spoken like a man with a face tattoo and neck neck tats 😂😂

I completely feel this comment

@@blur_710 I’m 25 and I can already tell I’m gonna be in a lot of pain .. some my say for no reason but skating has brought me the best memories so far 🤷‍♂️ hope I have that same mind set when the pain really kicks in

I'm 10 years behind you and still skating. Slamming is not the same anymore 😂. 5 broken arms, broke both feet, broke four teeth, 30 stitches in my shin 5 in my knee, 5 staples in the back of the head, tons of rolled ankles, millions of shiners and I'm sure I'm forgetting some 😂. People who don't skate don't know what we go through for this sport and I was nowhere ever near getting sponsored, the pros are just on another level.

@@stpbasss3773 bro 3 broken ankles 1 once the other twice. Half a left knee cap left torn acl mcl pfcl all at once. Compound fracture wrist. Broken elbow. Broken collar bone. L1-5 compressed to hell. Dislocated left hip. I also have 3 balls from a sack that ruptured my left nut and 3 stitches in my butthole at the same time. 2 partials in my mouth, Andy Roy would be proud. And thats the major shit. Last ankle injury I was 43. 6 months to heal. Roll forever holmes.

Same. Milton's Sunset car wash kickflip is probably the craziest

Well put. The battle is mental and physical

I like that Thrasher lets them happen organically. When someone does something on this level and the battle is this gnarly, they put it out.

@@SONOFABITCH agreed! but i also can't help but think there must be a ton of "my war worthy" battles from all the heavy daily content..

@@sirnjaca idk the Jamie Foy one makes me think most pros dont battle that hard, usually they feel it or they dont, or they give in earlier because they dont want it that badly or they can't justify the beating/risk because they have an incomplete part or a contest coming up. Every now and then though, they push through and you get shit like Dane Burman, Figgy or Sammy Baca.

That would be sick but that seems almost impossible to ollie into it

I dunno about that, but yeah, the progression is insane these days.

Lmao

Bahaha
