Henry VS The Kinker- Gartland's Insane 5050 Battle- Santa Cruz Skateboards

[@work2444]

Being a skater from the 90’s I would never think this was possible.

[@ClockwerkIndustries]

I know man started skating a lot again lately now at 32, im watching all these IG videos and YT vids like fuck i wish i had that when i was coming up, sometimes I actually get more stoked to skate when I watch 90s and early 2000s vids like menekamati, welcome to hell, and misled youth, than I do watching this insane shit because I can actually relate and can actually do stuff from those videos haha dont get me wrong I love this shit to death but I see dudes doing treflip overkrook nollie treflip out and I can't even compute the physics lmfao

[@whublah]

i know the feels... well im 25 and stopped skating when i was like 15/16. i started when i was 7, and now looking at all these clips and what lads can do now makes me wanna just go skate. not do the heaviest tricks but just to cruise down the street feeling that breeze, few quick powerslides.. that's what i miss. shit thinking about it now, i might go grab my board and go for a skate x

[@buckodonnghaile4309]

I'm older than dirt, I started skating in 86 (at 10 years old and never stopped) and even after watching things like this it doesn't seem real.

[@jaimebritton9273]

Growing up skating in the 90s i knew the tricks where hard but i could imagine myself getting to that level of skating. Now i see the new stuff and feel like it's unfathomable. You have to be something special too be a successful pro now a days

[@BrazenBullXXX]

Funny you bring up the stuntman aspect. That is what professional Snowboarding has came to especially street stuff. They are jumping off three story buildings onto 10 foot snowbanks, bonking the tops of street polls, and jumping 4 lane roads. It is fucking terrifying and they make it look easy but I think we hit our limitations in skating and snowboarding these days.

Threw is the past tense of the verb throw. It’s the word you use to say that something threw you for a loop or threw you off. Through is an adverb and a preposition. It’s used to say that you entered on one side of something and exited on the other.

I enjoy watching videos like this more than edited together skate videos, which feature very few bails. The bails are just as impressive - if not moreso - than the lands. Before I quit skating, I got good enough to learn that the MOST IMPORTANT skateboarding skill is learning how to fall, and that's continued to help me in my life ever since. So if I trip over a curb or slip on some ice, I don't ever get injured, because I have fallen over and over and over and over again growing up, and that muscle memory seems to never go away.
