[@bblair7519]

No one will ever match this level of thrasher

[@chetrok1]

P Blair Sammy Baca and Tony Trujillo are a close 2nd tho, those cats rip

[@wroubel4498]

gnar

[@avecesmembolo]

M. Martinez is near.

[@thewampus97tj]

Pedro is on his way

[@Clownconspirator]

GT, Tershy?

[@FlyinEye]

Never ever ever get enough Cardiel. No need for hype, he just kills it. Have yet to see anyone better.

[@manbitesdawg4542]

T.penny

[@Vidalskt]

Flyin Eye Project i think grant taylor its close of whats cardiel are

[@manbitesdawg4542]

@Jon Gardner jawngardner?

[@usernotfound904]

This kid T-funk skates very similar. Just sayin!

[@angushills1431]

This part could have dropped today and it'd still be heavy

[@jacobjones2766]

Its could drop past,present,or future and still be boppin

[@haydenbrandt9611]

Two4Eight mellow😂

[@liamcanavan5970]

still in 2020

[@warhammer1]

Cardiel is timeless.

[@ConcreteBombDeep]

Or it could drop today being done by one of those 5 year old vert skaters doing 900s and big air.

[@edwardbernays8617]

22 years later, part still is insanely good

[@jonbonjovi_is_happy]

This part is from Thrasher's SOTY video from 2003

[@nwskis]

"I wanna be like that guy. Why? Because he loves it." Damn straight.

[@WE.ARE138]

That back three over the bowl in Brookings is so good it gets me every time.

[@Janon48]

Cardiel was so creative and physically gifted that he could have become an elite level talent in whatever he wanted to. We’re lucky he chose skateboarding

[@YaugTown]

I think skateboarding may have chosen him.

[@Nediler]

he excelled in snowboarding & bmx as well

[@timt1791]

Got Matt Rodriguez introducing one of the greatest parts ever from one of the legends, man. Every part of this video is just perfect.

[@alfredoking14]

i just saw ben raybourne hit that gap over the bowl at 1:05 and thought it was totally mind blowing, and now i find out cardiel did it more than 20 years earlier... just insane.

[@KeoniIssa]

an did it wary better.. hahah b/s melon 360

[@PrometheanBlade]

I just saw that too, and Cards hauling ass with the 360 all steez...

[@jonbonjovi_is_happy]

This part is from Thrasher's SOTY video from 2003...still insane though

[@ian7208]

There's footage of someone doing this gap (think they were on real in the real to reel era), and then the filmer also doing the gap. Was like 2005ish.

[@coreyfisher2542]

Dude invented danger.

[@coreyfisher2542]

That last boardie was gnar.

[@aliasradius]

***** illest skater.. style was so sick

[@coreyfisher2542]

No doubt.

[@Devrominums]

***** I know man, nobody does em that fast!

[@BonelessBen]

Nope that's just his middle name

[@Seth9230]

Nobody skates this hard anymore. Part still knocks to this very day.

[@JonnyDIY]

💕👏👍 great part, love the passion

[@slamsection7071]

Cardiel, Way, Duffy, Hill these are the Legends!

[@everycloud7884]

To many people don't pay due respect to Frankie Hill.

[@nh03y]

Not even a spinal cord injury can stop Cardiel. This is testament to why he is one of the best skaters of all time. ALL HAIL CARDIEL!

[@spotraternortheast2791]

The only guy whos parts are absolutely timeless. Buzzing antihero sponsored him and gave him pro models after his accident no one deserves to be kept in the industry because they were that good 20yr ago apart from this man. His parts still bang after 20yrs he was so ahead of his time all hail cardiel

[@ss.sekiro]

22 years ago... still the raddest.

[@DouchedByDemocrats]

you do know this is footy from the early 2000s, right? no, not even cards could do this in1992. he won soty in 92, but this is for thrahers soty video that came out in03

[@ss.sekiro]

DouchedByDemocrats oh, i didn't know that, thanks.

[@Gonnzo]

+DouchedByDemocrats i was about to say, i mean i am born in 92 so i figured there was no way this was from 92 haha still tho these clips are unreal for about 15 years old dude rips

[@nukaprix]

ALL HAIL CARDIEL!!

[@dhorne2525]

Yeah, except that if he put this out now his pool and transition riding would still be amazing ... the crail, the air around the corner ... the way he does everything is classic. His style will always stand out.

[@1962hellen]

Sir John Cardiel is the knight of skateboarding, totally fearless

[@DANIEL1995107]

When i watch Cardiel skate, i feel like im gonna get a heart attack, so much adrenaline pumping and makes me wanna skate till i just die. Got goosebumps every time.

[@emerald876]

hard to believe this was almost 20 years ago. legendary.

[@bearhughes3213]

cardihell, he is the authentic legend. that f/s b/s is gnarly!

[@billyreich8057]

Bails sooo hard...what a legend

[@IsaiahMalin]

This will never not be gnarly, dude is an animal

[@thomasharbour5846]

"Steez for days Son' --Time-Traveling Black Guy from the 1950's 3:41

[@SlickRick4EVER]

Darrell Stanton....

[@screenfixer1936]

Legend Eric Dressen and Cardiel, same way to use their hands to keep balance...love Both

[@uffu2490]

I’m not the best skater (still learning switch on transition and trying to stay consistent in terms of form) but Cardiel is the most inspirational skater and person. He literally never gives up and keeps on trying until he “gets” what must be done.

[@Sk8Spitia]

Ufffff john cardiel back in the 90s...real good pro sk8er...

[@CT-nb5lm]

One of the main reasons i started skating faster during the tech crazy early 90's... The dude was a game changer. sure this dude was awesome and that dude but were they so gnar is a certain way that they changed the game. Cardiel did. Still trying to find his VANS in my size.

[@mattlonglade14]

His 50-50 grind at Union square in San Francisco was insane !!!

[@wurslegumage]

I dont think people realise this is nearly 2 and a half decades old footage and is still fucking ridiculous

[@nikokaapa]

This footage is definitely from a time period around 2000-2003 i.e. when this video was released. Most of the footage in that video was new. A few exceptions as seen in the beginning of this segment, the entire Danny Way part and Salman Agah's part, if I remember correctly.

[@RaabBlog]

probably one of the most fearless skaters of all time.

[@m0terhead]

that front board... that's like an ender even now. holy crap

[@jonasgoller7105]

m0terhead still an ender 5 years later

[@candrelsrosa]

What a Beast of a Skateboarder! And this was 1992? Shiiiiaaaaat!!!!! I was learning to ollie up a street curb at that time...

[@shreddez]

André Rosa Cardiel was awarded the SOTY in '92. The footage in this clip spans several years.

[@DouchedByDemocrats]

Brian Miller that's what I were tying to tell them, footy is early 2000s

[@randylawrence504]

That was the sickest front board I've ever seen. All hail indeed.

[@jaeloco1851]

the 3rd ramp shown in this video my dad built with his friends back in auburn california. it’s crazy he used to come to that ramp and skate it with my dad gnarly!

[@alpineflauge909]

damn, always and forever. thank you

[@skatebmx13]

I met him today and fanboyed out and he told me "man you know skateboarding if you actually are freaking out to meet me unlike half the kids here who dont know who I am, its an pretty sick man" I DIED.

[@headmondronary2127]

Just when I'd lost hope, there's still cardiel love children out there. Long live skating!

[@travisguide4516]

that front board ender was super nice

[@chrishendricks1160]

Im walkin out of this hospital doc, u don't know me! RESPECT!

[@MrBiggysmalls87]

That front board at the end was heavy. Still is heavy. Always loved his all terrain style. Sucks what happened to him. He’s still down for the cause!

[@thejayrush]

i remember skatin in the late 90's and this guy was my idol

[@Mordorer]

That was awesome

[@naturphilosophie1]

he has the art of falling. when hes going to slam he knows and his body just knows what to do. you see him get flung off his board at the top of a mile long handrail and his body somehow comes out of it on top.

[@youtheshoe]

+naturphilosophie1 Real life rag doll physics

[@purplepurple8179]

That seems to be the most important part of skating. That's why some people get fucked up on a two set or even flat land while other guys can bail off a 15 set and be fine. You can't get good if you get fucked every time you fall.

[@darrenmah8803]

He can just take heavy slams and get up and go again, no fear just balls out harder than anybody

[@RomyIlano]

This never ever gets old

[@LanceShines]

I can't believe this was in '92.

[@kevindelacruz8301]

Still one of my favorites even in 2022.

[@Lidderhossen19]

man cardiel always thrown it down the hardest

[@SiArks1]

Favorite skater of all time...all hail!

[@remydamiani5687]

didnt expect to see Matt Rodriguez there, dude used to run the skate camps I went to in sac! nicest guy ever.

[@dadayken559]

I never had history on john cardiel.i dident think he skated street.but now i know hes been raw

[@milesoster3122]

My first deck was a cardiel Anti Hero deck when i was in maybe 5th or 6th grade.i used to play the old skate game "Grind Session l" on playstation and he was my fav so my got it for me for christmas and it had to stay under the tree for the whole month but every now and then i would get it out and pop off a few quick ollies on it lol i LOVED that deck man

[@mrsimo7144]

Such a beautiful transfer.

[@tiemyshoes92]

cardiel is sick man. too under rated for his amount of ability

[@gillfortytwo]

Happy birthday to the best!

[@GustavoOio]

One Of The Bests!!!!

[@michaeljimenez3782]

2022 and still heavy 🔥💪🏽🙏🏽

[@denvier91]

All hail cardiel !

[@k3ivi0]

Denis Castrillo Agreed. All hail.

[@slayer66t6]

Happy bday cardiel, skateboarding misses you

[@holdengriswold7701]

Just got done watching the youtube remind and I needed to watch this to retain the few brain cells that weren't lost

[@tastyacorn]

They guy just lofts a back 360 over the pool at Brookings first thing like it is nothing...holy sheeeit.

[@gtiracer]

Man his skating is still next level even by todays standards. Cards!!!!!!

[@evan242503]

this is as good as it gets. what a fucking powerhouse.

[@stg2lgcy00]

Don't think I've ever seen anyone else make a front board look so dam good!

[@roninskater1128]

ALL HAIL CARDIEL!!!! LEGENDARY!

[@metalmandime]

john brings so much inspiration the shits timless

[@odin6667]

I must have watched Sight Unseen 10000 times as a kid

[@samtraygis1337]

My favorite front board ever!

[@btown9175]

30 yrs later still 🔥

[@grantinator12]

all his sponsors are so lucky to have him on the team

[@Rufusdos]

Best cards footage I've seen since Sight Unseen. If Gonz is the clown, cards is the warrior.

[@sueyyness3642]

Always a go to while stretching to go out in the streets. He still is shredding despite his accident.

[@adamlangdon2245]

They should write a song about him.😁😁🤘🤘

[@jtsk8er12]

He kills it

[@itsalwayssunnyinclipadelph2034]

This is the type of shit I love about skateboarding. Pure raw character. All Hail Cardiel.

[@chillbeach7322]

The gnarly levels are off the charts. Oh, btw it's 2018 and all hail Cardiel!

[@TransferAir]

And I still love his TransferAirs!!! 🤙🏼‼️

[@internetvide0]

2:07 that pyramid is huge and steep in real life doesnt show the size at all.

[@northeastjerk6381]

Cardiel couldve dropped this part yesterday and it still would kill. What a maniac

[@mrbtwist]

dude the 3 over the bowl near the start was sick. True ripper!

[@Nediler]

i use to skate with a dude like this that had no regard for life. We lived in a small town but he skated so fast and got the biggest air & would grind the biggest rails. He ended up skating for Etnies. Some people have this disregard for danger and to be great you gotta push fast.

[@sf1of1]

His name is Legendary. He was chosen.

[@caydenbyington3366]

Best person to step on a skateboard!!!

[@WilliamThee4th]

Always gets me hyped to go do new shit 💯

[@daneandersen8181]

1:05 Completely insane. LEGEND

[@sanderkrijstman5466]

HE FUCKING RIPS EVERY THING!! LEGEND!! who agree's!?

[@Skimmary]

dam why havnt I heard of this guy before. that 360 over the bowl was sick!

[@wroubel4498]

GNARBLE

[@jonathonlarson4471]

dude straight kills it with style too!

[@thenameslaurence]

legend, he'll never die, ever.

[@parallelparkerrr]

I've been on an 18 binge this past week, tryna go ATV like Cardiel

[@MrSimondaniel3]

sickest front board slide.

[@DownerRage666]

Who the fuck could dislike this?

[@FlyinEye]

Probably some 13 kid who is on Nyjah's jock.

[@JaxBeach2NewportBch]

Flyin Eye Project fuck nyjah. That punk ass rude bitch. Get out the neighborhood dude.

[@636f]

This is in 1992 and it is AMAZING skating by todays standards.

[@skatethatstreet]

Cardiel is such a beast.

[@Garf2O]

that black and red pool looks smooth as hell.

[@seeemsee]

30 years! All Hail Cardiel!

[@SloppyPinkSock]

8 thumbs down? blowing it!

[@wumbo4240]

step 1 play this video to 0:43 then pause it and mute it step2 create new tab on youtube step 3 search stan bush the touch step 4 play the song while watching the video

[@darrinsiberia]

Holy S it sync's up crazy good! Had me busting up. Song ends early tho... my autoplay started playing Transformers: 4 The Movie Dare which was a nice way to end it...

[@jonathanmoreno8583]

Name songg?
