My War: Dave Bachinsky

[@jimmyjazz95]

"Kickfliping on flat ground and kickfliping down el toro, I feel like its the same thing." ...If only I felt the same haha

[@n3oo]

I know lol. I can kickflip el toro all day, but FLATGROUND?! Damn man thats just ridiculous. Thats why he's one of the best. Really pushing the limits with this flatground shit.

[@Headshots909]

rightttttt!!!!!! huge difference goin from el toro to some next level flat ground tricks!

[@JonasRockSong]

Unfortunately, Ryan Sheckler doesn't feel like its the same thing..

Now THIS is a series. Try to get the Jeremy Wray water towers gap. He just said on weekend buzz that there are a bunch of clips of it and I guarantee you he'd be down to talk about them. Keep making these.

[@YASPENA]

thumbs up for this person!!!!

[@endlessweekend5041]

i was about to write the same thing about Wray watertower gap... that was insane

[@BGraves]

That was 411vm. wonder if they can get ahold of em

[@BierBrille]

Brian Graves Guarantee it, Josh Friedberg and Jeremy Wray are still around. As long as they're both into it and they've got the rights to the footage, shouldn't be no problem, eh?

[@ramayomama]

Plus that water tower gap was a Thrasher cover, too, they probably have footage. I think it was the end of his deluxe blacklisting or something. He quit one deluxe sponsor and they booted him AND Jonas from all their companies, I believe that cover marked the end of all that.

Yeah, it's the same as landing a kickflip on flatground...until you land primo!

****LANDING buddy not being a poser and landing primo

[@D00M3R-SK8]

bye, bye ankles.

[@stpbasss3773]

Way harder to land primo off a drop, you have way more time to kick it out and realize you're landing primo. Flat ground nope it's just a surprise.

[@KingRockettADR]

@@stpbasss3773 exactly plus youd be catching the board way before you land

[@Crabyman555]

if u caught it primo down a 20 stair you couldnt still stick it you would immediately kick out

i love these "my war" videos. so easy to watch and it plays like a movie with a story and a conflict and satisfying resolution

[@mikedavidson9578]

These my war videos are sweet and exactly what thrasher needs to keep uploading. Dave is the complete definition of a skateboarder and I still think this is the best trick of all time.

[@invertedcrown]

the fact that he kept trying after headbanging from a 20 stair is impressive in itself... this is like braveheart for skaters....

[@potairfireearthwater]

This will be talked about forever. Great job dude :)

[@andrewr.8884]

@@zestymoves 6 tries

[@douglassmith9445]

Sandovals fs flip is definitely epic but this kickflip is still the biggest and gnarliest flip trick to go down the biggest set of stairs.

[@MarijuanaMan510]

Will always go down in the books for one of the gnarliest tricks done in skateboarding.

[@dylanisraelian901]

the angle at 1:45, no slomo, is the best thing ever. i feel like i see the entire history of skateboarding flash before my eyes as he's just floating forever

[@Mr101Crazyboy]

So dope more of these!

[@PulpFiction8686]

Years later, those of us old skaters that can't do it anymore, this is still gnarly. I never been there but known a few people that have ... it's so much bigger in person according to them, you're basically jumping off a 2 story house. In my prime I wouldn't think to try this, nor did I have the skill, but that kickflip was so clean, nothing but respect.

[@peperruti]

Instantly became a legend and not only that but one of my favorite skaters immediately "never heard of him until this infamous kickflip, of course he's so more than that!".

[@siemprecansado8418]

Glad he's getting more recognition. Check out his "what the fuck is a bachinsky" part. Very underrated

[@Gumbocinno]

That "Oh my GO-HAHAHAHAHAHA" sticks in my mind. Witnessing that has to be incredible.

[@tylerao]

One thing that is so special about skateboarding is the brotherhood. Nothing drives progression quite like your brothers

[@josephchalifoux7930]

Still one of my favorite clips. Feels like a situation we have all felt with kickflipping a set. Except a 5 stair, not a 20.

[@destructo3915]

man, remember watching this back in 2007 when i was 15. 31 now and its still the best thing done down that set.

[@ThePHILEEP]

I really like theses new " My War" videos. Gives you a lot more insight into whats going down and more appreciation for the clip and skater to I think. Awesome idea. I want to see more, I need to see more, My Wars.

[@jiminycrocketatthealamo9836]

[@aureliofabro1886]

I'll never forget the biggest trick I've ever done on El Toro. It was April 1st, 2018 not long ago. I told my brother to hold my cellphone and film me doing a heelflip on El Toro. He knows heelflip is one of my best trick. I can do it better than any other trick. But as everyone knows this is not your ordinary place. He hated me for it but he went along anyways. I've never been scared my whole life. I took my board. I ran really fast, got on my board, straight to the car and sped away. April foooools!

[@elusivelogic6704]

1:45 is the best possible angle to capture this epic kickflip!

[@661EASTON89]

I was a Jr in high school when this happened. It was my prime skating years and I'll always remember this magazine. I forget which magazine it was but it said "El Toro Kickflipped" on the front of it. It was a big deal back then. Super sick..

For some reason I pause all of these n count the stairs, then think would I even run n jump off it, answer nope, hats off boys, love the vids

[@godbelow]

I love how he says, kick flipping down el toro is the same as on flat ground, all muscle memory. And the very next scene shows him falling down the stairs repeatedly not sticking it.

More people need to do this. Ryan Decenzos double set is about the same size as El Toro.

It’s still holding up as the gnarliest trick ever. Such a shame we gonna miss out on that Joslin tre flip and that Sheckler backside flip. I really hope someone bringa out Giraud and Cautela to hardflip it. While they still can. I really do believe that prime Andrew Reynolds could’ve frontside flipped this.

[@EricCambell-bc4mv]

It's nice to think that , but we're all grown now and all bullshit kudos and positive vibes aside, he lived what, a couple blocks from there for ten, twenty,or who knows how many years AS A PRO SKATER and I'm sure not just what I've seen on film but he's definitely been there having sessions on other parts of that place as well as in the background peepin his homies throwing themselves down it. Yet out of all the knarly Andrew R accomplishments and milestones, he just never threw his hat in the ring on this one. I know I know, just goes to show that spots on film or in person have there come together puzzle piece elements to them, as well as let's just say ,❤skatestopperish obstacles throwing you off the intended mark. But unique styles make skateboarding art.
