And still looks in his 20s as well, I seen him at a contest nearly 15 years ago and he literally has not aged since then haha

[@non_brewed_condiment]

goddamn. the cameraman in the wetsuit in a freezing river, Decenzo in those huge boots getting his board AND using a snowskate to extend the runway. This is some wild shit.

[@recession81]

Snowskate where? Timestamp?

[@non_brewed_condiment]

@@recession81 Basically any time it the full runway is in frame 1:22 you can see it pretty well. Might be a snowboard now that I've taken another look at it though?

@@non_brewed_condiment Oh I see it now yeah that's definitely a snowboard you can see where your feet go in on the bottom but damn that was hard to notice

[@non_brewed_condiment]

@@recession81 yeahh, for some reason when I watched it the first time I thought I saw grooves on the bottom so I thought snow skate, but when I watched it on my computer I realized it was too long and I could kind so see bindings.

This was sick, definitely a solid ode to McCrank, and those Fs flip shots were fucking killer with the mountain in the background.

[@dookieshoes66]

How is this dude 36 and still laying down hammers like this? Legendary.

[@dgenerated]

Never would have guessed he was 36, damn!.. Some people somehow manage to stay in the game a bit longer, or in the case of Hawk (who's 54) "A Lot Longer" and are still killing it!..I have a lot of respect for those that no matter what level their game is at, are still out there rollin'!..

[@4tounces]

Bro, since when is 36 old?! 😂 If you’re responsible with your health, you should more fit at 36 than you were in your 20’s.

[@dookieshoes66]

@4tounces more fit maybe, but that doesn't keep your body from feeling the years of abuse. Skating at his level is a young man's game and he's still outworking the young guys with shit like this lol. Decenzo, Reynolds, AVE, all those dudes are pushing 40 and still skate like they're 20.

[@Meekmillan]

Honestly I’d think he’s 26 before 36

People sleep on Decenzo so hard. The dude is a BEAST! Also what a dope idea for a trick!

[@ThisHandleFeatureIsStupid]

I'll be quick to admit that I've been sleeping on Decenzo for...basically ever! I've seen him in comps, but for some reason never really investigated. Dude's pretty rad! Sending 20-foot river gaps at 36?! I'm 36. I can barely send a flatground nollie FS beer replenishment!

@@ThisHandleFeatureIsStupid Yeah he does all these insane things: the Huge double set he kickflipped for My War, he 360 flipped the 18 set, He kickflipped the Cinco de Slammo triple set, and now this.

[@BobbyClements]

I once cut the ends off an old snowboard deck and created a ledge from it as the metal edges grind like a dream! but this is the first time I’ve seen an upside-down snowboard be used as a skateboard drop-in. Showcasing the problem solving and creative abilities of the skateboarders brain. The only problem about this video is that is wasn’t long enough!

[@travisguide4516]

Honestly made a beautiful photo we would have freaked out to understand without the video

[@bobbybill1773]

Serious question that deserves a serious answer: how you gunna be a professional SKATEBOARDER, but you only brought one board to the production? You should literally have 50 completes ready to roll at any moment in a van. You got bruh in a wetsuit and you can't even remember to bring an extra board. lol SMH If you had more than one, stop pretending it matters if you lose your board. It doesn't matter.

[@cd1772]

I remember being young & impressionable thinking redbull actually helped with skate performance

[@digiprez77]

Only Red Bull could afford that ramp these days...

[@3toadbroth]

Whenever I drink a Red Bull before I skate, I throw up my pancreas. Is that the Sodium Bicarbonate working for me, so I don't have to?

[@joulupukki1607]

My toxic trait is i think i could ollie this🤷‍♂️😂 But if i was there in person i prolly would say something like "give me broom i can sweep snow outta those plywoods" lool

[@mrmj2397]

Whats with that guy calling out the 3-2-1??? I don't, but that would bug me if i was trying to land a trick. If the photography team cant figure out how to shoot board sports ... maybe this isnt the right project for them??

[@turbo8481]

Nothing against Darkstar, but Ryan should have more legend status than he does. Dude has always had the best pop and kickflip next to Reynolds and kills contests in his mid 30's!
