Arto will always be my favorite skater. Ever since Menikmati and that riff from CKY's Testing. Legend.

[@infinidominion]

[@850101055601]

Arto, missed you a lot. You are my living legends, i love the way you skating, your finishing on every tricks really influence me a lot, especially on the lipslides.. I hope to see your new videos in 2020. Love from Malaysia..

[@joshuasmith6346]

[@julianpawlak1472]

[@Matheus-rk3pw]

[@claytonkirby878]

Glad you mentioned grosso

[@rioardhinata3383]

Legend!!

[@JJMza]

3:35, #AMFD @Beibel is reviving that classic style of editing that got me into skating in the first place. It's just chill vibes with good song selection the basic formula for a GOOD time. I salute to Sir, B. Beibel! approved.

[@arskasiikaman4579]

still waiting 4 artos hawaii parts;jaa new ones thank u!

[@jakethesnake1503]

make sure those New Balance are in the shot for our advertisers...

[@unlikeportraits4099]

I saw Arto skate a contest in 98 or 99 and I remember how I almost was offended by how good he was.

[@teolauterbach6433]

Thrasher is life

[@OGmr420]

my first pro deck as a kid was an Arto Saari "American peace" flip deck.

[@endsofsanity]

The muska board is my favorite board all time

[@wombatonsteroids]

[@nalveyna]

Eric D too is one of the best!! Wheels on 🔥 Indy OG

[@nalveyna]

F yah Ben Kadow rips

[@suicidalpepsi]

Where can I get those new almost cartoon decks?

[@rockyescape8989]

does arto still skate? he's definitely aged but in a good way.

[@Osiris3657]

No, the concussions were too much. I'm sure he still cruises and does some small park stuff, but no more handrails or stairs. Also he's 34 (35 in a couple months) here.

[@mayorsoffice]

Hes had at least 5 major knee surgeries on his one knee so he cant really skate anymore. People just love him enough for what he did that his boards still sell really well which is why he is still pro for flip.

[@DanieleGalli79]

He did some of the best video parts in the history of skateboarding !

[@Garf2O]

+Daniele Galli he could have pretty much just did his sorry part and stopped and that would have been enough for legend status, if antwuan can be relevant for ten years off of one video part then why not arto

[@rickjames5470]

his bowl but other than that he's a rad photographer

[@arskasiikaman4579]

hows your surfing these days?any gopro action?

[@skateorlive6204]

can anyone please inform me of when each issues comes out roughly? for instance the october issue comes out in early september?

[@vhr]

That's generally how magazines ship, with the next month written on it. The short answer is to make the magazine appear current longer. It's called the 'cover date' and wikipedia has a more detailed explanation if you're curious.

[@laminesiresane8526]

[@OcelotPwns]

what's wrong with street league courses?

[@hughjass615]

it's like there's no kinkers we need kinks also it wouldn't kill to have more manny pads and some hefty pole jams

[@OcelotPwns]

yeah i guess i can't argue there. there was a kinked rail at the jersey course but it was too mellow. good 12 stair though.

[@hughjass615]

+Drex33 I don't watch street league so I wouldn't have seen it but honestly any kink rail is a fucker

[@whothefuckisfreddyg]

+It would be sick to see flips out of manny pads and pole jams

[@OcelotPwns]
