Believe In yourselves and each other and never give up on your dreams and aspirations and remember to be kind and uplifting to each other and open minded and genuine and respectful and humble.

This is where skateboarding begun back with those gnarly surfers bro

[@maryB1142]

I love this sport! 2 of my boys were so into it and I had to stand up for the skaters in our community as they thought they were all thugs…even from 7-18 yrs of age. I let the community and YMCA in on how great it was and they built a park.❤️

[@smu2752]

Skate 3 trick lining is slowly becoming a reality😅

[@I3arett]

Nope

[@I3arett]

Probably the worst thing to ever be implemented into skate 3. trick lining nobody likes that stuff it’s unrealistic does not make the game fun it’s annoying it’s repetitive never ever is satisfying you’re breaking your controller I’ve been playing the game literally since 2010 older than you it is ridiculous I played the first play the second never once did it because its boring

[@I3arett]

And if you actually skated and played the game normal you would know we the actual EA skate community has been wanting rodney mullen to be in the game but probably got over shadowed because of you kids who spam the sticks

[@grante.7525]

What trick did the kid with the yellow shoes do. Almost looked like a switch tre flip or something

[@zachster2016]

I hope the judges know physics and know how to ride a skateboard, because some of these really amazing ones arent as hard as some of the others. I can imagine them talking amongst themselves being like "ya but that one guys move was a lot faster, it looked mucher harderer!"

[@OFFICIALLYBENPEARCE]

Then you haven't seen any comps ... some can be like smalll but it's like idol the judges usually old riders

[@contraband1543]

Thats why I dont watch contests that are decided by judges. It's all subjective. There is no real measurement of skill it's just people that could never even attempt the things they are judging saying "that person looked better than this person to me"

[@contraband1543]

Like you cannot convince me that the old guy with glasses on the judges panel has any fcking clue what hes looking at. He got asked to watch some kids skateboard by his nephew or someone and said "sure"

[@waltz_skateboarding]

That’s Russ Howell. He was one of the first professional skateboarders in the 1970s and holds the record for 360s on a skateboard. It’s great to ask questions. It’s not nice to make assumptions. Especially when you haven’t listened to the video yet

[@Bumholioh]

​@@waltz_skateboardinghe did some 360s. Stil doesn't mean he can tell what's more difficult. Jus like u or I cudnt.

How can someone judge de difficulty of 2 things they can't do. No way is der a judge der dat can do half of the shit these kids are doin 👍😂

[@waltz_skateboarding]

That’s why it’s super important to have clear scoring criteria based on tricks that modern skaters are doing. It’s tough, but in the end it helps riders set goals for themselves and progress. This ain’t about cutting people down. It’s about working together to help people achieve 😁 dat der Mitsubishi looks sick btw
