Is Leo Romero's "Skater" His Best Part To Date?

[@scharkweek]

Skater was Leo's love letter to skateboarding and it caused a real emotional reaction to see him put out such a banger part this many years into his career.

[@lake0417]

That’s life was the first video I saw in 2005 when I was 10 and Leo has been my favorite ever since. Hits me right in the feels how he is still killing it

[@vperkv6554]

My first video was either seasme street or an rerun episode of I LOVE LUCY

[@DefinetlyKarl]

Stay gold is his best part, period. It`s iconic to this day. Him and Westgate set the trend to going up rails no less.

[@mrsickwick]

Agreed 100%

[@robertmcquiston176]

I'm pretty sure he went up rails in this is skateboarding and that's life before stay gold. I remember kids going up rails copying him in like 2003

[@TheLurker_696]

No disrespect to mr Leo. His part was absolutely insane, but Stay Gold will never be topped. He went up a 9 stair rail, did insane gap to grind tricks on the biggest double stair I’ve ever seen, and krooked up a rail that is huge in person.

[@MrJayra210]

Just one of my favorite skaters ever- from Chilly to This is Skateboarding- That's Life- First Love just a gnarly hardcore savage skateboarder.

[@infinidominion]

The later Toy Machine vids are whole nother chapter in gnar. Brainwash is awesome

[@ArturoZamoraT]

This is what skateboarding is about, raw, pure and fun. THIS IS SKATEBOARDING.

[@matthewwyszynski479]

1:31 Literally! He’s been so gnarly since Foundation “That’s Life” part. So fucking sick! This dude is unreal on a board! STILL!!!!!!

[@matthewwyszynski479]

I got his pro shoes signed by him, and he gave me a voucher for a free pair of his pro shoes. Come on bro . . . !!!!!!!!

[@laustenfound]

Now gonna do my homework on Leo. So gnarly. One of those parts that makes me want to get on a board. Maybe, not to chomp on rails, but skate for sure 🤘🏼

[@jon5one7]

You wont be disappointed

[@demon_3x]

That’s Life was one of my first videos I ever seen. His part in that is burned into my brain. Forever a classic, forever a fav skater. Absolute goat, give him his roses.

[@landonowens889]

Bro that’s life was my favorite all time! So much of his personality in that video from the intro song to his first part

[@Ross_Antonich]

Kelly cracks me up “Most gap to rail dude” 10:40 😂

[@mattanderson6457]

Those gap to rail tricks on the double set in stay gold are the gnarliest thing I’ve prob seen.

[@melsonitmosp.cailing756]

we need leo romero in this podcast🙏

[@sk0tb0t31]

I love how low he stays to the ground. Legs bent. You can tell he skated with Reynolds and Herman

[@joeywho534]

Were all getting old but, my man used to grind up handrails.

[@quarter_cab]

The way he tweaks his ankle getting into that nose grind on the sign holy shit

[@christophercrone2117]

In my opinion even leo is topping his rail career and he's mid 30's, his last couple videos he skated some massive kinkers lol

[@Jandos47]

Stay gold was the first time I saw Leo and he was just flying hitting gap to rail looked like a stunt man

[@matthewwyszynski479]

4:06 Literally! Braden Hoban is so fucking sick on a board. From the companies he rides for and the fact that we get to see his skating in Street League is so fucking sick. These skaters have so much control over their boards it’s unreal; the fast kick flips. Like Eldy said, “Their skating is different!”

[@paperboy856]

Been to that Corona school..and just to Ollie up to sign platform is gnarly

[@tomas746]

Eldy is right his nose grinds on handrails literally look exactly the same as when he first came out.

[@HTRism]

“The whole process” lol

[@TheFunkytownGotcha]

this part was soooooo good

[@kennyconnors9513]

I remember seeing Leo for the first time in foundation that's life. First video I ever watched

[@swgz600]

16:16 he really just jumped over that table like it was curb.

[@elliottwoods5636]

that's life was almost 20 years ago god damn

[@jondorsey1715]

It's depressing lmao

[@c1dtl39]

The Nine Club been making us 90’s kids feel older and older lol

[@shredznivek9860]

Favorite grind skater

[@Ernest_Kahn]

Leo Romero Home Town Hero!

[@chessplayercharlesv]

his signature emerica shoes is clean too

[@mikeuptegrove]

The after trick is the victory lap.

[@haymaker113]

I could only sit through 2 tricks because of the B-Roll, seeing that in a live premiere setting would straight up give me a panic attack.

[@vinnsworld8484]

Promenade school is in riverside, I always pass it and always thought if someone skates that there insane! And to see that it’s fucken crazy! Like that thing is fucken tall and gnarly!

[@johngrimble3050]

I wish the picture in picture was in the top right

[@andyfulcher4132]

When I was 13 living in OC me and all of my skate rat friends were in an elevator and some random lady said “hey you kids know leo Romero ? I’m his mom” and just one of my little shit of a friend said “Leo Romero ? Fuck Leo Romero” as we skated out the elevator thinking we were so cool. Now I’m 32 and I’m thinking damn poor Mrs. Romero lmao True story.

[@brucestubbert6608]

I'm pretty sure that's a shot gun shirt I have heard of it before but it was shot gun jeans. Leo is a tank, killer part🎉

[@ryanrowe1975]

This part is the best one of all time

[@tylerjones7792]

I think Leo’s first part was pharmacy chilly or that’s the first part I saw. Anyone who hasn’t seen that video should go watch it

[@funkydank8207]

Yes sir Leo and Bryan Herman had sick parts

[@tylerjones7792]

@@funkydank8207 Bryan opened and Leo ended. I’m 30 and don’t skate much anymore but I still love to watch all the dudes I grew up on still killing it

[@mertakn5182]

its not getting less gnarlier.hahah

[@mycollegeshirt]

Man steezus is crazy observant.

[@princequestly2218]

Yeah he is. Eagle eye. 👀

[@Not_Yuto_Horigome]

It’s amazing that Kelly’s dad is a doctor………he obviously gets most of his traits from his mom. “Doesn’t make what he’s doing any less gnarlier” the dude just said! 😳🤷what the fuck Kelly?!?!

[@gertfourie3283]

love those slim shoes had two pairs, what to say he is fucking jumping castle pop skater

[@One-vx4bl]

What great skateboarding 🙏

[@hevvyserve]

this was really good but to say it’s his best is kinda insane. The man made grinding up handrails a thing…

[@aarongomez5812]

Aggressive af!

[@gnarfacekillaa]

I got the moving units cd

[@gnarfacekillaa]

Hate that shit now, but thanks, Leo

[@sasproductions701]

leo goes down

[@mikeuptegrove]

I think Curren Caples last video drop was best part to date.

[@BrentSends]

Yes.

[@gee3002]

I believe Pharmacy Chilly was his first part.

[@Gemät_33]

I watched this part and was very irritated by the beginning when he’s cleaning the windshield forever. 🤦🏻

[@Backsaladfrontblunt]

stay gold part was way gnarlier

[@DarmokAtTanagra]

Love the skating hate the music...And then they released a whole "behind the scenes" video mostly about the music...Overcooked, for me. Still, love Leo and the skating

[@c1dtl39]

He locked heelside on the BS 5050

[@kylesalmon31]

Wasn’t he on rukus trucks back in the day? I had a pair and they were terrible lol

[@augustjones630]

Dakota's got a moth problem 😆

[@Justin-np3ki]

His type of skating is honestly just dangerous. Just super fast and super sketchy shit

[@jamesspinella2037]

if you watch his hands and arms he reminds me of Mike Carroll - a bit.....

[@tonycruise]

jamie foy and nyjah and myself all go heelside on frontside 5050 except sometimes when the rail is really long its better to just cross lock.....

[@skatetheorist]

too much b-roll of the van but amazing skating inbetween the van footage

[@ottomattix86]

Holy shit they dudes pop. Wtf!

[@aarongarcia6587]

That school is in corona

Kelly shuuuutup for 1 min

[@souperdave2009]

Team Buttholeio 🔥

[@7letterbrandon439]

His best part was stay gold, this mid

[@SD-gl2do]

They need to bring back there old shoes there new ones are garbage.

[@williamgass9242]

There are too many hosts on this show. Get rid of Jeron first

[@umanillwin8886]

Eh

[@bryceronie]

He should go get soty, nyjah will be beyond in a crazy couple of years.. again.. soty is overrated. These are atheletes, and artists.

[@Tryingtogetradical]

He’s already got it in 2010, remember? Crazy to think how much he’s done AFTER his SOTY

[@johnmoyarbmg5845]

​@@Tryingtogetradical thank you. Some people don't even know their history of "SOTY" & just throw that phrase out. Plus it's rare to get it twice

[@Eatabagofahunniddicks]

So corny
