O_O holy crap.
Right? That’s so cool that you are close enough to ride to the farmers market!
Oh, and that dude can shred as well…
That first backside air was pretty ridiculous and his facial expression at the end was priceless.
frontside smith is pretty dead on too
I just started skateboarding again after 25 years off. Still trying to decide if it’s a good idea or a bad idea. I am definitely never going to be this guy but am hoping to maybe go around a skatepark bowl once or twice at some point in the far future. I did learn an important lesson this weekend about skateboarding in parking lots with puddles as I wiped out making a basic turn and hit the asphalt harder than I ever had before. To my shock and surprise nothing was broken so I learned two lessons: don’t skateboard after it rains and my body is tougher than I imagined.
I just wish I could stand up and gently roll along on my longboard, without wobbling all over the place! Doesn’t help I’m goofy-footed, and my left knee has osteoarthritis, and constantly feels like it wants to fold sideways if I try to balance on that leg.
Maybe some sort of knee support with rigid bits and a hinge. Dunno, but damn, that guy can seriously shred a park! I am so totally in awe of his skills.
If Skateboarding were a college sport, this would be the video to deepfake your no good spoiled kid into.
He ruled the pool.
He’s a sponsored Australian skater called Kieran Woolley and that’s not his park, he’s just insanely talented.
i was wondering who he was – being that good, he has to be somebody of note!
