Chima Ferguson's "Nice to See You" Vans Part

Chima’s resume had him in the top tier, but this new part elevates him into the pantheon of all-timer greats. Those Martin’s Place hammers carry major weight.

Martin Place. He did another down into the entrance, I dont know if youve walked it, You dont look at it and go Oh yeah thats doable. He's dwarfing shit in this. What a legend 🇦🇺💪

[@RandyTwang]

@@rambojonj1838 can't believe Martin place is still being destroyed after all these years. Has to be the most iconic spot in Australia, maybe Flinders St rail.

[@andofb]

For those of you who are unaware, next to is is the Sheckler Gap from Almost Round 3 which is batshit crazy to think about. Honestly the 2 angle's don't do it much justice. If you have ever been there its the kind of spot that you look at and think imagine if someone ollie'd this then think that it's a shame it's probably not doable. It's kind of a stretch but now I kind of think that it's only a matter of time before someone tries to Kickflip it.
