We sessioned a curb in the 80s for 4 straight years ... it really wore down after all that grinding.

[@AFDK80HD]

DONGER!!!! I couldnt help but smile a little at this video. All I remember is those crisp lofty ollies...everyone has their favorite trick...anytime im skating the streets i make it a point to crack an ollie any time I pass people. I feel it's my duty as a 40yr disciple to spread the gospel of the church of 'skatin'...this quarantine is PERFECT for slappy sessions....

[@sonnyrico]

I loved watching dongers video parts back in the 90s, was always amazed on how high he could do his tricks

[@rudyarriaza1886]

i did a slappy on a medium red curb and i was so happy , it took along time but i got it , now im trying the taller curbs but my front truck is just getting on there haha im not giving up though

[@snaggleskull2059]

Good job dude keep it up!

[@ryanellis7520]

The man! Finally some new Donger footage!

[@tyronsmith7938]

Dude he was the first real skater I saw in tv jumping over thrash cans in my childhood he literally introduce me in skateboarding

[@SUN-OVA-GUN]

Thanks Kien had bs ones for a year now I’m about to try the fs slappy

[@AwwwwwwSKEETSKEET]

It's considered a slappy because to get into the 5050, you kinda "slap" the board into the curb. You can slappy into any grind.

[@Tricklarock]

Oh hell yeah, the Big D in the house!!!

[@DEM1571]

the fact that the curb is slanted helps a lot i cant find those anywhere with a nice curve to it. best slappy spot.

[@ariekanibalie]

0:49 middle age hasn't mellowed out Donger's pop, damn....0o

[@reggieverhoff2818]

this guy is a good teacher for slappys

[@endlessvoid00]

Just started learning BS slappies this week. Still don't have it quite down yet though. He's right about sticking, for sure - I got tossed hard a few times from rough ledges.

[@PunkSkaful]

Hahahaha! Get off your computer and try it! That's exactly what I am going to do now :)

[@julax970]

So, 7 years later, whatsup about skate?

[@einc70]

Its actually pretty convenient especially on low based curbs... back in the days they were doing this but with feeble instead of fifty fifty, which is pretty hard but nice to watch...

[@einc70]

wow ken lieu... haven t heard this name since the hocus pocus days... I use to nickname the kunfu kid with no disrespect... that was back in the days... am still in awe for the stuffs he did back then...

[@ettnollbajen]

Awesome bro,gotta learn slappies,been skating since back in the day,but nowadays I only ride bowls parks etc. But I'm on it,great vid!

[@cjt823]

im LOVING that earbleed shcrrrtttttt wooo

[@skatetapes12]

This is a trick that looks easy but definitely is dangerous and difficult

[@imelevated53]

Skate tapes 12 can you do it

[@greekrider55]

at last a trick that doesnt need ramps, a trick i can try at home!! :)

[@moimy8901]

2:35 damn I wish I had that many homies at a slappy spot. No one wants to slappy where I live lol

[@derekturbo2009]

Learned super quick!

[@xxruckus]

He always had it from when I first saw his part back in 93 ;)

[@ijustlike0010]

thanks man ill try that today

[@AdRiAniiiiiiiJeFfReY]

I must learn this trick

[@pleasantnightmare21]

try doing slappy nose or crooked grinds. its way easier getting on to the curb. you can even just smash the front truck into the nosegrind and then put ur back truck down for 50 50's

[@hermansila9224]

The only way I can do slappy grinds is a get a really long wooden board and do the slappy motion on the wood board

[@abuhaneefa7422]

Still the legend 🔥

[@Zumanism]

love the grip tape

[@jaseybabes100]

sick vid

[@ef4331]

He look familiar, is he the guy that ollie over an oil drum somewhere around the eighties or even nineties? Vividly remember his long pony tail..?

[@mc540flip]

Never learned the slappy. June’s got them dialed!

[@Lalaland.001]

sounds nice better then your last comment, nice to know someone takes pride in what he does...I'm in the fortunate situation, to not have to worry about the prices on the agreed overpriced alienware m18x, but it's a hell of a machine....my alienware is fully custumized but on a higher price tag, I wish not talk about...it was ridiculous....oops I fully enjoy it thou every day....thx for your friendlyness

[@gonadcancervictim]

Wait so they pick the guy that can ollie over 4' chain link fences to teach us slappy's...

[@jobim9347]

Ironic, isn't it? 😁

[@ijustlike0010]

i could actually try this one

[@americanmisfit1]

1:57 the curb is slanted so its gonna be a lot easier

[@davidd2662]

Having trouble slappying tall curbs. Any help would be appreciated

[@JayyBlaze216]

David D haul ass

[@thethreeamazingmen]

-.- haha will be awhile before i do this...tried simply cruising down the road...fell off and twisted my ankle -.-

[@Lalaland.001]

[@ebermtheburn]

Yeah! SD!!!

[@ijustlike0010]

isn't it basicly a kickturn on to the curb then kickturn off

[@Kylerjguitar]

Ive been trying to learn these dammit!

[@inquisitive1]

Matt Splat, Fool Flood 😂

[@FaminatorsTrickshots]

what are his sponsors

[@NAKALADA_SKATE]

I Need Learn these shits! Thanks mister Donger

[@joeheshy]

curds that arent slanted are way harder to do it on. no mention of that

[@cashpotts3265]

what city is that curb in

[@ThisOldSkater]

San Diego, Point Loma it looks like.

[@billybuckmusic]

Ya, all my friends to to it. It is in Point Loma.

[@TaintedMiracle]

Im jealous of his hair :o

[@kb123]

Unlike 50-50, there is no Ollie involved w/ thus trick. Yeah Donger, Balance in the World of Chaos son!

[@b4nkk]

They filmed this at my old elementary school

[@skatterpro]

Sweden lacks in painted curbs. Almost all curbs are super coarse too. Gotta go buy a box of wax I guess.

[@plund8928]

det finns ju lackade 45 graders curbs i garage o skit

[@plund8928]

antar att du inte bor i sthlm?

[@skatterpro]

Nepp

[@umkay]

industriområden är helt ok också. Jag jobbar på ett sånt "siliconvalley" ställe med massa kontor. Här har vi sånna vita nyare curbs ibland som är mkt halare.

[@flowterspace]

I got your solution mate. find a granite stone to make that curb grindable. And then wax it, grind it again with the stone and wax it again. I tell you after a week you''ll be grinding that shit

[@ThisOldSkater]

OG FLOLM skater. It was all about Grava though...

[@SexyMcFabulous]

holy shit I was not expecting that hair at the end

[@CustomSkullCandies]

Daewon Song With Hair

[@MarceloPalitoSkate]

teach how to wallies!!

[@brody-f]

Spawzz brutal truth heh😍

[@xBrundonx7]

2:07 rage haha

[@TheEpicEditChannel]

It's nice to see that Donger still has that long ass rat-tail, but honestly, you get a guy with one of the biggest snaps ever in skateboarding to teach a no-pop trick like a slappy?

[@CianToland]

Aaaaaay Cian/Kien

[@xxHardkorex]

i dont understand how u can skate a painted curb when its not waxed

[@LordJHouse]

Nah dude, this trick is legit. Ollie on is easy, slappin' it isn't. Plus it's way more fun.

[@marioandradenegos810]

RAD!!!

[@TechMechMen]

For some reason I felt a sudden urge to yank his hair. I don't know why.

[@dragonettirockstop]

So audio editing? I wonder what the Hell you're doing. You said "custom computer built for audio and video editing". What DAC are you using? What amp are you rocking? What headphones are paired with your computer? Are you using a tube amp or are you using a straight up solid state like you should be?

[@Mikemoridesforfaucet]

that pony tail snuck up on me

[@CharlieZelenoff]

I slappy my wappy....

[@suicidesnowman14]

one two one one one two one one one two one one two

[@GeckoPy]

is he vietnamese?

[@ChaosCheetos]

Ahaha Thats in Point Loma x3

[@TannerGrisbrook]

unless your canadian and your curbs are completley vertical

[@eurekaskateshop]

look at his shirt

[@qreenskiesblueqrass]

The curbs over here in NZ are fucking ungrindable :/

[@puma0210]

😂he ollied over a convertible in the 90s

[@stevenbaker436]

This dude rips

[@charliecwskateboard]

i didn't see his ponytail untill the very end...

[@BlindassassinMGTOW]

Jef Herastel.

[@weslywillis4life]

TheBlakus420 do you skateboard? you mite not like it but it's way harder and sicker than you think! any chump can fs 5050. very, very few can fs slappy anything. let alone like this!

[@Lalaland.001]

maybe it's your computer/laptop which is old....I never had that problem....

[@grimdeath55]

Dem braids

[@dragonettirockstop]

"Custom computer built for audio and video editing complete with a 5.1 surround sound system with an equalizer". What? I'll be the first to admit I don't know shit about video editing but.. audio editing? What kind of audio editing are you doing that requires a freaking equalizer? You're doing it wrong. When you edit audio, you want a FLAT frequency response. All you really need is pair of good studio monitors. You only need a subwoofer if your monitors are severely attenuated in the bass range.

[@puma0210]

2020. Get off your phone and try it.

[@einc70]

yep and he had spiky hair back then...

[@CommentsJust]

did anyone notice this dudes long ass ponytail

[@HangarLiving]

That shit is so rad but its hard , i cant figure it out

[@ytmyeti4864]

Hangar Living took me hours and hours to learn them stick at it man :-)

[@HangarLiving]

hey , I have been trying! YanntheMan but the hardest part is to stick the back truck! After I stick the front one. How do I come up with the back truck ? so hard!

[@ytmyeti4864]

Hangar Living yeh man i still have that problem you can push your nose forwards and up and your back truck on like in a 50-50 on a high ledge or just slam and on you hit the kerb push your leg in like a power slide hope this helps and all the best man :) it kills your trucks though so i dont do it often ;)

[@jacobcurry14]

Whats so special about a red curb

[@justinmaynebloop6155]

i can slappy without paint or wax

[@ytmyeti4864]

Justin mayne bloop try that on a kerb in the UK

[@SKATEBAIT47]

+YanntheMan uk and ireland problems 😢

[@ytmyeti4864]

LibertyzHD Yup :)

[@DJDStackz]

isnt this just a 50/50? I dont see any diffrence..

[@NAWMAIN]

naw 5050 is a cheated out slappie.

[@snigelsallad]

broccoli

[@xXseamusmurphyXx]

yo istn't this just a 50-50

[@daft_wizard]

No, it's a slappy 50 50 because you don't ollie into it. If you ollied into it, then it would just be a 50 50.

[@xBrundonx7]

1:15 , 1:27 , 2:09 .. not his day

[@FrenziedTV]

subsscribesssssssssss

[@greekrider55]

lol

[@Lalaland.001]

I only got an alienware m18x with i7-3920XM and 32GB Dual Channel DDR3 at 1600MHz + a Harman/Kardon DPR 1005 A/V Receiver and Paradigm Monitor v.4 Series Speaker System, yh, so that's probably the flat sound system you are on about....damn, all my money spend on that useless crap....now I have to go and buy a new sound system, so yh...guess I'm having problems....have a nice day buddy

[@Esfabrications]

first

[@dinoguy21]

So it's basically a cheated out 50-50?

[@TheBlakus420]

I personally think this trick is dumb. Lol I prefer to ollie into my grinds, that's lil more legit. Just sayin

[@abaraluis]

asian,,,,and donger dont go together
