The struggle in your head knowing you can do this trick. Friends backing you, there every second of the way. The anxiety of thinking someone could snake the trick before you. Friends right there in celebration as you alone made the trick. I love skating.

Holy shit, I've never seen someone coming out of a board slide with that much speed. I'm sure there's faster ones out there but he is fkn flying out of the last kink when his attempts make it to the bottom.

[@tylerp3327]

Catches air coming off the last kink 😱

[@greatvaluecorndog]

he thought it was a shitty boardslide but i think that's what ultimately saved him in the end because he was slowly rotating through the entire thing so he didn't have to focus on leaving the rail properly he was just already there. so sick.

[@kesotone]

He kept falling forward. on the make the board looks like it's just trying to shoot out from under him..crazy. he said he was too exhausted to bail

[@macrodriguez8834]

Check out Trainwrecks part in IN BLOOM. He Kickflip front boards a big rail while going 80 miles an hr! Its the ender to his part. You canT see how fast hes actually going cus of vid quality but I had the VHS and was always like wtf why does he need that much speed?!?! and for such a gnarly trick????? kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaS6dpWmZcyehrc

[@ehill1536]

That was a combo... boardslide to rail kiss. I'm thinking thats why he had so much trouble with it as he'd have to go airborne to catch the slide on the last kink. Literally flying for a second.

YOU can go to heaven NO MATTER WHAT YOU’VE DONE! (Here’s how!): When a person first becomes a Christian, their entire past is automatically erased and completely forgiven by God! Simple. Yes, You heard that correctly, you will literally NOT be in trouble for a single you did in before becoming a Christian *NO MATTER HOW BAD*. (This includes crime, etc.) So, What do you have to do in order for Jesus to clear your record? All you have to do is believe that Jesus was real, turn from your wrong doings, and start living your life by the Bible! That’s it! So yes, this is a get out of jail free card, Even robbers, gangsters, etc can make it to heaven if they turn their life around and follow Jesus! (Mark 3:28)- “I tell you the truth, ANY sin can be forgiven.” (Except for blasphemy) (Acts 3:19)- “Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away.”

[@xxpr1m1tiv3xx]

Gabriel doesn’t get enough recognition that he deserves.. His parts are crazy and he goes big!

[@dexgray4581]

Dude… I may be a softy… But these my wars are the best, they always bring tears to my eyes. You see the whole battle, you see the struggle, you see the determination, the whole story, and then you get to see the pinnacle moment of why they kept going at it, the expression and emotion on all these skaters faces is literally priceless. Makes me feel like I was there with them cheering them on! Congratulations, that’s the best feeling! And you will always have visual documentation to prove it! Nothing better :-)

[@darrellmiller9055]

Minus Jamie Foy. Jamie's blessed.

[@princequestly2218]

For anyone who’s ever boardslid or has tried to boardslide a thin rail like that, let alone a kinked one, knows just how hard it is. That is one gnarly boardslide.

[@10DollarProductions]

Boardslides on kinked rails are always fucked. I've been thrown back on a triple kink boardslide rail on the ground at a skatepark that really shook me. I got some minor whiplash from it. I can't imagine taking it to an actual set with stairs.

[@tim1309]

Never giving up is one of many things skateboarding gave me and you can apply that determination into every day life and many things. I maybe tired, hurting, bruised, bleeding, losing, but one thing I know for sure I ain't giving up I'm gonna keep going no matter what it is!! We all have that in us you just need to find it and skateboarding definitely brings that out of you.

[@Jeremyramone]

Powerfully exceptional production lads, thank you, the deathbed visions part is true, mine will be the abnormally perfect and extra-popped tre flip i did on flat at my favourite spot that one time.

[@BariNgozi]

I'm a simple man!! Thrasher uploads a My War? I fucking CLIIIIICK.

[@Moucheron1990]

Absolutely the greatest feeling in the world. I can't imagine the physical and emotional tension that would build up after weeks of trying the same trick, but the release and elation when you finally land something like that is very unique to "extreme athletes". Whether it's a skateboard, BMX or anything else. We all know that feeling and keep chasing it.

[@twodays8041]

[@jhi-fly4awhiteguy]

Crazy how far Gabbers has come... I had the pleasure of growing up with Gavin in Tasmania... I remember when all he could do was heel flips, noseslides and boardslides.. Spent many weekends and days teaching each other and pushing each other. After a few years watching him grow in confidence and style it was obvious he was gonna be a force to be reckoned with on a plank. Blows my mind if I stuck with skating this is where I'd be. Well deserved Gabbers
