My War: Arto Saari

It's one of the heaviest handrail stunts of all time, but getting to hear the eyewitness account from Terry Kennedy makes it that much more incredible.

TK explained it really well, genuine emotions and he's so animated.

[@JonnyBetz]

he did

[@TimothyOwen]

I love the animated emotional reactions in skateboarding. There is a real love for the sport and the people we share it with.

[@RonPaulRevolution500]

TK sounds like he's telling a fairytale.

[@2highforthisshihh843]

😂😂

[@openallnightus]

lol I remember him just running from the grass

[@bleepblopbleepblorp9984]

and his hands had been printed in the cement claiming the rail forever his, the end

Holy shit.. I just randomly clicked on this, on a different profile.. and there i'am, one of the top comments! I don't even remember posting this 😂

Terry Kennedy should do more commentary on skating... fun to listen to...

Terry Kennedy seems like the guy you would go get beers with after a long day of skating and just talk about random shit with

[@jhilmilchatterjee5949]

That's a wholesome mood man

Who's here after seeing Midler kickflip back lip it

[@fgDAB]

Eleanor Loughry - Wait he really did that??

[@drewkellymusic5486]

gonzalez yea it's all over Instagram

[@502jackal]

funny part was, i just wanted to watch a my war because i remembered arto was in one. didn't even remember it was a back lip lol. but damn, fast forward to now and its pretty wild to think about

[@idontwantone132]

The middle rail too

[@Pir44tti]

Me! The best thing was that Arto was there to support the guy :D

[@FredZepplin]

My war of my first kickflip

[@dankprofessor4925]

stfu ur nt funy

[@carterman4689]

I know that feeling bro

[@vperkv6554]

My first kickflip took me 3 months ( almost the entire summer of 1994) standing still on a side walk crack stationary n kick down. But when i landed it the first time, it was all over after tht. I had tht aht down n progressed into a real kickflip fairly quickly.

[@aricgoss]

This one time, I almost ollied, but then I quit before I could really master it

[@ricoisthegoat4342]

Nick777 I hope so

[@The_Kevinist]

I like how TK ends up sharing a past experience about somebody else, he’s always humbly over stoked and really into it seemingly more than the concerned person he’s speaking of It’s a shame there isn’t much TK footy out cause the dude has a nice personality and you can see that he genuinely loves skateboarding

[@notch7751]

Arto is a legend. I love these My War segments. Awesome

[@bak1386]

God damn arto is one of my all time favorites. He's an absolute legend. He is so smooth and makes everything he lands look basic and easy. All of his parts are GOLD

[@christophersantiago6011]

Here after seeing Middler kickflip back lip through this thing with Arto cheering him on. The torch was passed.

[@nicksteeley3742]

In my opinion my favorite backlip I've ever witnessed on KZbin

[@davidmorefield2]

This is the best segment you guys have produced!

[@miguelzamorano6509]

Im here in the comments jus checking to see if anybody would say something about Alex Midler doing a kickflip back lip down the middle rail

[@AijhiadRs]

Definitely the best series y'all have done, keep them coming!

[@ratinthecat2]

Never stop doing this series

[@martinmane5523]

I met Arto Saari back in 2006 when Flip was doing a tour. Such a nice down to earth dude!

[@seanpotts5252]

Crazy to come back to this after midler not only kickflip back lipped it, but did it on the middle rail! So gnarly

[@10711851]

This is great love em both lol arto was my favorite growing up

[@awesomekidhero1963]

Saw Arto's part in minefield at my friend's house. Immediately drove to our local shop bought it. To me Kirchart's and Arto's segments were amazing!

[@DivinityRift]

need more of this series!

[@danielwarshaw2584]

Met this guy today chillest man alive!

[@balthorpayne]

It's crazy, I didn't really care for his Mindfield part, but I read this videos description before the video loaded and instantly knew the spot and trick. Amazing that Skateboarding can really burn some dope moments into memory.

[@clivemathieu9386]

One of my favourite tricks of all time

[@jeremyweiss206]

Terry is so modest about himself that front side heel was steezy as hell 😎🧨n arto saari is just thrownin down a banger 💣

[@MacChuck]

Gnarly! Kennedy explained it so good.

@@JinGalactica Yikes... yeah, this comment did not age well...

[@DrumPhanatic]

Everything in this video is awesome.

[@DeterminedGoat]

I think Arto ushered in a new era in skateboarding. I remember when he kickflip back tailed the tall ledge at the world championship contest in Munster in 98 and thinking it was the biggest thing I had ever seen, and then he went on to do things like this.

[@icecreaMonster01]

More of these series 👍👍👍💯💯💯

[@Jamsdh1]

That was one of the best skateboarding tricks I have ever seen done.

[@centralcoastcinema7693]

I wish you well and hope you find courage to fight your own battles. We all make mistakes. Forgive yourself first TK. Keep growing in the big house. Be waiting outside for you.

[@Oxpat00]

Arto is a G!! This series is so good anyway!

[@joshmehrtens]

Not ignoring the legendary back-lip, but yo that 180 heel by TK was CLEAN!!

Arto is the best skater ever, period. And TK seens to be such a nice dude.

[@hbiclan]

geoff rowley such a gentleman

[@vperkv6554]

Terry is 1000% right, it looks soo much better how he lands it n rolls off with the FRONT wheels starting to come up. Gives it EXTRA STYLE. Gives it That TRUE GRIT

[@GlenDoug]

Amazing trick… sad to know Terry won’t be around to do anything like this again

[@thunderwood]

Such a legend

[@palehorse1511]

My God. That is 100% insane and balls out. Incredible. A blind kink rail? I just don't have the words......

[@andulicious6129]

the fact that arto and Tk was skating together is so dope. Arto is lowkey so good, most slept on skater.

[@2highforthisshihh843]

lmao you probably barely started skating cause Arto has been out for a while and everyone knew and had his lightweight shoes thos etnies with the two pine trees on the tounge good ol times that was like 10 years ago FUCK 😔😊
