[@peterpacciani666]

cool story shitstain

[@NiceGuyEddy12]

its the hat. that hat has seen some SHIT and you can't fake that. Also his hair is wet like he's about to film a scene where he was sweating or running etc lol. not to mention he's dressed like an NPC.

Respect to Heath forever man

[@jakokurtz]

No one gonna talk abt how in pretty much all of these he slammed his head.

Heaths part in this is skateboarding started the video off perfectly!!!! 🤙🏻

[@dejiita]

love heath one of my favorite skaters all his parts are great

[@backwoodyben4360]

The reason why we like your slams is because you got up and did the tricks after or atleast kept pushing and that is skateboarding Heath is a true representation of what skateboarding should be one of the best no doubt

Corey Duffel has a lot of nasty bails

[@James-qv9ij]

He's my favorite.

[@nodnarbregztem8546]

I think my friends and I alone bought enough pairs of the Original Kirchart shoes to cover his early retirement. God, they were the perfect skate shoe. Weird to see how the design trend has changed so much since then.

Since sight unseen I have seen him slam worse than any other skaters. Him and Cardiel. Tough mofos.

[@000claw]

I wish there wasnt the stigma around wearing a helmet. So many of these guys get subjected to it at a young age and I get that pads and shit arent comfortable but damn head injuries are serious stuff, gotta protect your noggin.

[@eggysnekko]

Yeah. I didn't wear one untill I ate mad shit, fell 12ft head first on pavement and got a fucked concussion. To this day I have memory problems and a bump on my head. Been wearing one ever since.

Share the slams it's one espetacular thing because it's like a historical such can provide for the skateboarding community a vision it's go like what was wrong how to not commit the same mistake, not in this case but some slams could be avoided simplesly using some wax on the ledge rail whatever

Really when you think about it though you're already in fucking pain you might as well go for it while you're already in pain or maybe on some pain medicine

[@mephistosprincipium]

when I had a root canal treatment I didn’t do any physical exercises for a whole week, mainly because I didn’t wanna risk it to get a dry socket. but yeah the first 2-3 days where a pain in the ass.

[@fastinradfordable]

I am sure it had nothing to do with having pain drugs for sure haha. .... Also affects judgement. That’s what skating is all about

Legend. He def seems pretty sad/worried that he has hit his head so many times though.

[@DFunct905]

Then his biggest regret should be not wearing a helmet, especially after he learned about brain injury. EDIT: I didn’t mean to sound like such a dick. Heath is a damn good skater. I was surprised he’d taken so many hits to the head and continued to skate with that intensity. I hope he’s ok.

[@gearsighted]

He should be, there are really serious consequences to repeated concussions, especially when you don't let yourself recover. It kind of breaks my heart to think that all of these skaters that I idolized when I was younger will probably have severe repercussions to the lack of knowledge about traumatic brain injuries back then.

I was in my skating prime when Birdhouse Ravers came out in 1993 and I saw HK for the first time - he was like 3 feet tall and doing kinked rails and tech shit I'd never seen before. He was like a cyborg, a legend already. Freaked me out. His part in The End freaked me out even more. IMO, the most stylish gnarl-skater of all time.

I think we like the slams because it shows that you’re the same as us/any skater. You take hard falls, but you still keep getting up and skating and keep at it until you “complete” it. That’s what skatings all about whether you’re an amateur or professional! 😉👍🏼🖖🏼

[@Fart_Simpson]

A lot of us can sympathize for sure. Personally I've also gotten a concussion, surgery on both wrists and left ankle, and I'm kind of disappointed thinking I'd be better at skating than I am now. Feelings of guilt and regret, trying to keep the love for skating rather than like an addiction or pride

I broke my collar bone once, and although it was an extreme break where it split entirely, that was the worst broken bone I’ve ever had by far (never broke a femur or anything obviously, but the collar bone makes it impossible to sleep normally or move your upper body and it’s pretty brutal).

When I first started skateboarding I didn’t have any vids to watch other than the vids on THPS! During mid game they had these big screens that would play clips that weren’t in any of the other vids.

This is why I stopped skateboarding in adulthood, lol. Wouldn't trade it for anything, though. All kids should get on a skateboard and go big and get hurt while they are still resilient. Kirchart was definitely one of my favs growing up. I haven't thought of him in a while, this was a fun reminder.

Its crazy because I was just watching King of the Road and and he was a special guest for a team and he did a toilet bowl race down a hill and he fell and this other guys toilet went straight into his head and hit him really hard. I guess he just has bad luck when it comes to skating and his head
