[@mansaakhenaten3172]

+silverwoodburnruff Definitely. I'm 23 and it sucks because I work most of the time.

[@xastr0]

leo definitely deserved the skater of the year. to those that disagree, you haven't been following this dude for a long time. he has grown over the years in to something amazing and i have nothing but respect for it. congratulations leo.

[@Madsketchybakehouse]

Deadliest high five in America, TODAY!

[@dontdissmeimgayfish7206]

i voted for him was the first time and the last time i'm gonna vote because this dude deserved so bad that trophy and he's always going to be a huge inspiration thanks bro (Leo)

[@pontscorffien]

[@caponezy907]

Can't sit and tell me since birth , this guy hasn't murdered every single rail in America, love this guys style on a skateboard

[@DeliriumDayz]

[@loldude334]

apparently yeah lol best comment ever

[@2enjoihsu]

he has the best style ever and looks like a awesome guy to hang out with

[@LuvMovment]

I will,from this moment on, give the hardest high fives from now on! I will never give a mellow one. it's the funniest shit seeing the ppl hold their hands afterwards and just being like "wtf?!" when Leo high fives them.

[@andrenemmais]

the only person he doesnt do that is to heath kichard he is like his dad

[@Mordorer]

That, and Heath will check his ass. Hah.

[@nnickgray33]

[@LYCskateboardingZelve]

[@themasudi]

2:34 phelps: high five! leo: take my jacket

[@meandyomamafoeva13]

it was from the Kids in Emerica Tour Video. all the way back from 2004. Tosh Townend's front blunt banger was fucking insane

[@SkavenjerOG]

[@lilycat2737]

[@wadewise9624]

[@raftika1]

[@winsomelosenone]

lol at the end when phelps was like GET OFF!

[@pckldickweed20]

FUCK yes....Watched his whole career from the beginning. I'm not old, eh? I still skate though. Leo STILL rips hard.

[@haulintaters7160]

[@TheRanadia]

I feel sorry to Phelps after that harsh high five from Leo at the end

[@armin38822]

I remember when he was on Baker for a moment. That was weird.

[@kristoffervilhelmsson4777]

[@matthewjamal]

[@RVCAskater93]

even his nollie back heel off the curb was sick as fuck!

[@kproytube]

leo and westgate started a new movement in skateboarding grinding and doing tricks up stairs and rails instead of down them

[@oldschoolskater989]

@99FatGuys some skaters,but i skate just for fun if i turn pro someday thats cool but the most important thing is that you skate and like it.

[@rasquatch]

grinding up a handrail is the next level, anyone can go down, pretty rad!

[@GuitarGod7878]

leos super tight...got his autograph sittin up in my room...met him a long time ago at the pharmacy in fontanaaaa

[@briandaley8572]

pause at 5:08 - thats insane.

[@gundarfilms]

[@MsThomas122]

[@emanuelegualini7866]

[@TheMyronStube]

[@Sydbarrettselectricsexpants]

Songs called cosmic dancer by T.Rex

[@ragenlove93]

@99FatGuys there are different kinds of pros, i mean there are pro who just are not so well known and are just paid to make some films and demos but there are pros like leo that make more than that, he is defining skateboarding.

[@lshskate9]

@BeauKnowsDiddley its from the dvd kids in emerica

[@milksteak74]

When's Leo's album coming out?

[@TaylorDope]

HAHA at 0:36, the kid trying to get that that girl does not even hesitate to deal with Leo laying down the mack.

[@crikey1mate]

he got into it!

[@BGskater209]

You're kidding right? You're saying that Torey Pudwill doesn't deserve to be the skater of the year? What fucking rock have you been living under?

[@ToyRoss90]

[@10711851]

0:06 does anybody know the name of the video those scenes are from? some emerica tour video, cant remember the name

[@edisallaboutthefun]

[@ForHelvede01]

@bolillo91 First track is T-REX Cosmic Dancer.

[@jtsk8er12]

cool dude

[@StreetyMcStreetSk8er]

stay gold was 2011 my friend. but his bake and destroy part could do it for him.

[@99FatGuys]

@oldschoolskater989 Exactly, now imagine doing that for a living and yes i know that not all people are willing to spend that devotion into skateboarding in hope to be a pro someday but it would be awesome to already be there

[@STStudios98]

He deserved this 100000x more than Grant Taylor, SOTY 2012 should def be Nyjah or TPuds

[@zmr5161]

Next S.O.T.Y=Torey Pudwill! Thumbs up cause he deserves it!

[@Dave2LA]

Song????

[@aaroniamescua]

What's up MidWest & West Coast. Me & a fwe friends are going on a roadtrip from Denver to LA in search for fun skate memories. If there is anyone who is willing to help us out, show us your local park, local spots, or anything at all.. That would be sick. We'll be filming everything along the way so you will be documented & forever appreciated in the Denver skate scene. -Love, aaroniamescua PS, We'll be hitting the legendary Channel Street Skatepark if you want to hitch a ride along the way.

[@gabedaily8238]

I met him at the toy machine couch tour!

[@jlwom]

i spoke with him outside of orchard skateshop in boston when he was doing a signing thing, he had every reason to just ignore me, but he was polite and rather reserved, not a dick at all

[@MiguelArteagaSwag]
