Leo Romero's "SKATER" Emerica Part

Skater is fuelin' the van and rippin' the rail at the gas station. Skater is going back to back at a spot with your best friend. Skater is never slowing down after already being one of the best in the game. Leo Romero is skater.

Such good style

@@Wooargh yeah cause hes still younng and in his prime lol ? lets see him have that much pop in his mid 30s

[@deadbeatpete3075]

man skateboarding has felt so stale. We really needed this. I don't think Leo really understands how impactful he is to older skaters that grew up in the era he did. We get to watch a core skater who has always crushed, always put in the work, and always delivered bless us again with a full part for the first time in years. What a great part im sad the 12 minutes are over. Thank you for skateboarding Leo, you dont know how many people youve touched.

[@mattbaker6975]

Yer I literally seen a short of this and was like what I swear I had a pair of his shoes 15 years ago how old is he???

[@johnmeehan7884]

Stale? The entire part was basic handrail tricks.

Truest words have never been spoken.Im 34 now,about to start skating again after 6 years and to bring back the pump,I'm watching Leo as he's one of my favorites ever and others like him.He is even better than what he was before 6 years when I stopped

[@BetterSkateThanNever]

tough as nails!

Always with such graceful style.

Good ol days foundation was one of the best boards I skated

[@bdis89]

36 ain’t that old, and also love for skateboarding, nobody gonna stop that

[@joshtoy]

A lot of skaters don’t realize how much conditioning these guys do on and off the board. It makes a world of difference, especially at an older age.

[@djmon1987]

36 years old! Fucking so, so impressive to still be skating at this level.

[@NittyGritty420]

Makes me think.. what’s my excuse. 35 and after one session I can barely move my legs the next day.

[@AlexNiedt]

@DJ 91 That's how I felt when I got heavily back into skating at 34. Now at almost 38, I can skate for hours just about every day. Truly a matter of physical and mental conditioning, and also optimal recovery habits 👊🏻

[@djmon1987]

@@NittyGritty420 Yeah, I’m 36 and I have to pace myself these days. Leo is truly inspirational.

[@djmon1987]

@@AlexNiedt What’s your secret? What habits do you recommend? Also, no offence, there is a big difference between getting back into skating and jumping on kinked handrails!

[@michaelsutherlandsk8a4life]

I’m almost 38 and I still skate great. Flexibility is soo key along with eating healthy. Take Collagen and fish oil supplements eat a lot of bananas and watch a lot of skate videos and you too will skate into your old age lol 👌

[@djlethal]

Dude hasn't aged a day. Still a monster, skating like hes 22. Love you Leo

[@greens294]

Never did I think he could put out a part like this 20 years into his professional career. It’s truly insane!

[@anthonydandrea270]

Leo…man, not enough adequate words to describe this part. Legendary, epic, incredible, inspiring, amazing, just WOW. Leo is like the David Bowie of skateboarding, he never disappoints. Not to mention this man is 36 years old. THIRTY SIX, if your an older skater that’s already sunk in on just how many levels of sheer disbelief this part really is. Those who are younger and don’t understand yet, you will one day. Wish this was on a DVD! God bless you Leo, thanks for the blood bath 🩸

[@michaelbenjamin2625]

@@anthonydandrea270 you can skate at a high level at that age if you take good care of yourself

[@OneHundredPercent-100]

​@@michaelbenjamin2625 I guess it all comes down to injuries and damages. There must be hundreds of skaters that have the will to skate but their bodies have taken too many bad slams and they can't. Anyone still skating at a world class level at 35 is typically the exception to the rule. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@anthonydandrea270]

Then Why are there only a few in the entire world at this age that do then? Hmmm 🧐 well, probably because when you are hurling your body down enormous flights of stairs and handrails for decades it causes major damage to your body. Apparently everyone thinks they are a doctor on the subject so how about we consult the others who have done this at his age…..wait a second. There’s only decenzo, Reynolds, Romero and a few others….I wonder why 🤔 maybe it’s because pie squared equals these nuts 🥜 i don’t fucking care, all I’m saying is that it hardly ever happens and I’m in awe of his determination and luck/blessings to us for 10 plus years of high content shit

[@colossalfart]

Goddamit, Leo! That's too much awesomeness! When you got SOTY in 2010, I bet no one would imagine you dropping this gem of a part 13 years later! I don't care what anyone says or thinks, you just barged your way real high into the roster of all time greats, at least for me! Thank you for this, and for all the sick things you've done before! It's truly inspiring!

[@matthewpennington2354]

Went to high school with Leo and I can say his jokes were legendary and everybody just saw him as one of the guys. I used to breakdance at school too and he would say, "What is that? that is NOT breakdancing!" He was always honest and a good friend.

[@RedheadTraining]

He has the best looking nosegrinds and noseslides, so much style ! Don't see too many older skaters still going that fast, dude is legendary.

[@huyxhoang]

I waited 12 years for this Leo part. His follow up tricks are by far the best in the game

[@jon5one7]

From "this is skateboarding" all the way to this. Been crazy being able to watch Leo skate for so long.

[@RafaelAragao98]

13 years after being SOTY still puts out a part like this… this is what SKATER stands for! Unbelievable 🤯

[@SamOperchuck]

its beyond me how someone could be this good for this long. GOAT.

[@davido7081]

Leo does not age!! Like a fine wine, he just keeps getting better and better 🔥🔥

[@greenbean1613]

I know right - isn't he like 40?

[@morgellon7877]

I don't know. Leo's a hard grape to grow. As you know. He's thin-skinned, temperamental, ripens early. He's not a survivor like Cabernet that can grow anywhere and thrive even when neglected. Leo needs constant care and attention and in fact can only rip in specific little tucked- away corners of the world. And only the most patient and nurturing TM's can do it really, can tap into Leo's most fragile, delicate qualities. Only when someone has taken the time to truly understand his potential can Leo be coaxed into his fullest expression. And when that happens, his flavors are the most haunting and brilliant and subtle and thrilling and ancient on the planet.

[@gromitmitten7803]

Sheesh...That first rail spot didnt stand a chance 🤣 Leo is incredible 🔥

I'm watching this while wearing my Emerica/toy machine t-shirt and I couldn't be more proud.

Seeing Leo killing it in his mid 30s is so awesome. Dude can still keep up with the young new top Dawgs like Braden Hoban, good shit!

[@steven4217]

Leo’s footage is insane in this part. He was heel flipping the crap out of everything in his way and added plenty of variety in regards to tricks. Mans basically dropped an end of the year part in February. What a beast

Could watch Leo slay handrails all day. The crooks and nose in the intro were so graceful

[@thehandleiwantedwasntavailable]

I LOVE THIS STYLE OF SKATE PART! It feels much more like the reality of 'skating', than the usual 'cut cut cut cut cut' edit. Also, I'm here because my teenage daughters just got inspired to start skateboarding. So I dusted my 15+ year old board off and noticed it's a Leo model! So here I am, blown away by someone who can still skate at such a level - he's 37 while I'm 47, so I truly understand how insane this part is at any age, yet alone 37. Amazing.

Childhood legend is still producing insane skate video parts. It's bittersweet because I know Leo will not put together another insane video at this caliper. I hope he proves me wrong, but regardless of whether he does or doesn't, he will always be my favorite skater.

If this isn’t top SOTY pick so far on Nine Club’s list, the game is rigged 😂 I remember one of my first hard copy vids back in 2004 was Kids in Emerica, then First Love in 2005. Leo was always one of the best. Then SOTY in 2010. That’d be crazy to get it again 13 years later

[@dp1381]

Gotta love this man’s unique style. He looks like a condor when he nose grinds. The little nollie pop out of some rail grinds. Those epic, long front boards. This is awesome.

[@jeremylamovsky3669]

I can't believe how long hes been killing it. Dudes built himself two decades worth of pro skateboarding. I remember he was one of the early "rail guys" who rode for foundation, pharmacy and emerica. Those were the three brands of that kind of skating in the 2000s. Along with brands like Pig and Baker. I've always thought Toy Machine was an awesome fit for him. Toy Machine has stayed awesome forever though. Been so many different chapters in it's existence and who's rode for it

I don’t get how Leo can STILL keep progressing, rockin, and hucking off this stuff after doing it for so long. I’m basically the same age and my body struggles to keep up anymore … but if your still riding at this level … I’m impressed. You’re an inspiration. I guess I’ll have to push it a little harder. Keep skating, I love it.
