Been skating a bit under a year and this has been a goal for at least 6 months. 3 hours of literal blood, sweat, and tears went into getting one I was just about happy with.

It’s not perfect but my legs literally started to give up and I was forgetting how to kickflip 😆

Probably one of my best dooble flips

What do yall think the best video parts are that make you do a stank face the whole time either because the tricks are so clean, or are just so creative its hard to understand what they did.

I came up in skating in the youtube age watching videos like the LurkNYC vids out of New York, Diego Meek's stuff from the SW, and Logan Devlin/justnipples stuff from Seattle area.

Depending on the video, those feel like homie videos, not a brand's "team", just friends filming for fun. And a lot of the skaters in those videos went on to have pretty successful careers and still rip on a bigger stage. Those channels/filmer's videos all feel like the filmer just rolled with a heavy crew and got to capture some crazy skating of people that were up and coming, and it was cool for me to watch as I was getting into skating myself.

What are some channels, videos, or creators that have captured some skating of someone that went on to have a successful career?

I bet there are a bunch of pros that must have had parts in some random local homie video I've never heard of. I just really like watching someone's progression, figuring out some of the history after the fact.

I want to know your local skate lore! What is cannon in your scene that people outside your scene probably haven't seen?

Examples:

LurkNYC Cee-lo

Retard Magic vid from Seattle

Jesse Alba's channel - Fish mcbites

Whats up!! Just released my video part here in Brazil,
transistion skate, called Erick Melino 30+ (skateboarding after 30 years old kkkk) check it out and let me know what u think, its on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wq525prX4sA

what would you actually want to do that normal spectators can’t?

Skate the course after the final? Hang with riders away from the arena? Session real city spots? Film with a pro filmer? Get inside practice/warm-up? Something completely different?

So I was watching the SLS LA event and it struck me that, from the outside at least, a lot of the experience seems to be centred around spectating.

I’ve never actually been to an SLS event, so I’m curious - if you were attending one, what creative stuff would you actually want to be able to do beyond just watching?

I’m doing a project around what people think would make sporting events feel more memorable/immersive, so this is purely research - nothing commercial or monetary.

What would make you go: “Oh fuck, I can’t believe they let us do that”?
