Classics: Ali Boulala "Sorry"

Here's a wild mix of creative skating, gnarly stunts, dork tricks, and slams. This part also includes one of the biggest ollie attempts ever, so of course Jaws introduces this Flip Classic from 2002.

[@jphil9393]

probably the most memorable skateboarding quote of my childhood "my hass is out"

When I was young I worked in a skate shop in Stockholm and I remember a little boy a couple of years younger than me that used to hang out there all the time. The first couple of times I saw him he was quiet and a bit insecure but when he realized that he had more talent than anybody else around he turned into an extreme extrovert.

[@manocchs9369]

Anyone else find it extremely depressing to watch this part knowing that he cant even kick flip anymore and all of his emotions got turned down to like a 1 compared to the 11 he blasting through life at during this part? Hes like a walking depressed zombie now and it sucks that he had to go through what he went through. Get back on the board Ali!! We miss you!

3:48 cleanest switch heel i've ever seen

[@michaelm3033]

i skated from 98 to 2001. 1999 2000 was golden for skating in my opinion, it was at the top. toronto was sick

[@josephpossanza5022]

I started in 97 and still skate to this day. I recently broke my leg in multiple places along with disclocating my ankle too while skating. Doctors tried to tell me I probably won't ever skate again. Yeah, fuck that. That era from 99-2005, 06 was so much different. Raw, zero fucks given, just causing fucking chaos and havoc in the streets of Seattle when we would have a mob of 15 skaters with us. Fuck man, I miss it.

[@user1509.]

This guy's story ended up being more tragic than anakin skywalker's

[@laurenthendrickx1808]

Ehhh why ?

[@gravityinLA]

so the story is that ali want to ride a motorcycle and shane decided to go with ali, ali is the driver and the passenger is shane (both of them are drunk) but in the end they had a motorcycle crash the good thing is ali survive but not shane shane died in the age of 20 (1986-2007).

[@josephedwards4325]

I always loved everything about this part.

[@connorriley7511]

That Lyon 25 at the end makes me almost cry thinking about him being there when Jaws melon grabbed it, not because he never landed it and jaws did but because he can’t even skate anymore and it’s so sad because I grew up worshiping Ali Boulala. I always wanted to be just like him and in a way I did become like him. I skated (nowhere near as good but could hold my own on a board) and became an addict and ruined anything I had going for me skateboarding wise.

[@nvsoliveira]

[@az091043]

Sickest part ive seen

[@collectivestatetv]

my buddy use to get so annoyed when he'd have a part in a video we were watching. LOL. said he didn't seem to take anything serious and that his parts were jokes. This dude is an OG in the game and a lot of his earlier skating is pretty epic. He did get weird and his style changed but it always stuck out to me as unique. Who else was being a weirdo and doing these types of tricks? lol. Sorry is classic.

[@tronsnow4763]

Yea, he definitely tried some pretty unique tricks/spots. He was the KING of landing in on/treating insanely inclined surfaces (basically walls sometimes) like they were little mini-ramps...

[@priceyboy]

remember watching this for the first time sorry as a whole is one of the sickest vids of all time for me

[@Suckmy2012]

He deserves a royalty for this video XD Every time this video gets watched, that was his stunt. Just like every great skater who put themselves on the line

It's like a controlled sketchiness tho which is great. I also love how he just keeps fuck ups in his part. Shit my switch crook went into a noseslide at the end. Fuck it, were gonna put that in anyways. Ali was awesome and this is still one of my fav parts.

3:33 -- best kickflip ever done!

Agreed - other than when Reynolds kept breaking the record for how many stairs one could kickflip (don’t even know where it’s at now or if someone else broke it), there is NO OTHER kickflip more badass...

It was in the times of when it wasn't really socially accepted yet. We was still outcasts and looked at as just some punk kids. This was during my height of skating the most in highschool.
