His lanky frame, that distinct upraised arm style, and those legendary bigspin front boards all came together in this 1999 Zero vid. Mikey Taylor introduces a classic.

My 2 brothers and I grew up skateboarding. We had Misled Youth on VHS and we could not have a proper session unless we took the time to watch it first. Also on the pregame VHS list was The End by Birdhouse. Then Menikmati es' video and many others...

This is a classic. Wow. I remember when i bought this. Slayer changed my life. I remember reading the letters to the editor from old dudes in thrasher talking about how skating changed their lives and theyd never stop skating. and i always hoped to be that cool. This video certifies it.

starkravingnormal , in terms of “perfect, proper execution”, maybe not the best.. but rarely is there ever a “best” in skateboarding, bc it’s so subjective. But I can’t think of a more stylish backside flip. It’s the spontaneity of it, & the fact that it was prob the first make... & it just came out that way. Instead of “best”... 10/10 for style points.

And why do you say that? Is it because he wins everything because he's so good and practically unbeatable, or is it because he just dropped one of the most amazing video parts? I don't get why everyone hates on him. We're all skateboarders, so why are we hating on each other? I don't even understand. He has godly talent and everyone can see that. Quit hating and respect all aspects of the skateboarding world.
