I just put this post up on the Tweaker blog. Figured I'd double post it here as the video is so good...
"Skateboarding for the love of it is so out."
...Was this part filmed PRE-Flip?
If so, that means that Luan came up with this without Ewan and Co. breathing down his neck.
Does stuff like this video part happen anymore without management, PR and marketing (AKA the paid up pro-team/TM, the staff photographer and the employed filmer) giving the skater hell and riding them hard on deadlines, paychecks and cover shots?
You could probably count the amount of times this sort of knockback shit has happened this millenium on one hand. In fact, all I can think of is PJ Ladd.
PS. PurpleTurtleDrizzle - Extra points for filming it off the TV. Lose them all, go straight to jail and don't collect £200 for encoding your username in the top corner of the clip.
Cruising YouTube to avoid work is great. Karma rewarded me already for such a grand decision.
I'm guessing this is Reading University time for Si Skipp around 96ish.
I remember being handed tiny comressed Quicktimes of these tricks for an old video part which were never used due to the quality. Stoked to see them somewhere again.
