My War: Ryan Decenzo

This double set has been sitting here in San Francisco for years, and besides a Diego Bucchieri Ollie back in 1999, nobody has rolled away from anything. Enter Ryan Decenzo...

@@justinhamiltonn Kinda how I felt watching the video. I apologize if my comment darkened your day at all.

[@Ur-_-Killa-TV]

This dude has done: - Nollie down El Toro 20 - Hardflip Hollywood 16 - Frontside 360 Wallenberg - Kickflip a 9 flat 9 - 360 flip an 18 stair - switch fs 180 Davis Gap Decenzo needs WAY more recognition!

[@peterpuck8502]

The fs 360 down Wallenburg was first try

[@rodrigocisneros916]

Ryan B he allready said he did the fs 360 down wallenberg haha

Jake Phelps is like that Homeless Character in Tony Hawk Pro Skater games whos like “hey kid I have a job for you. Land a Kickflip on the stair and Ill give you $20” RIP Phelps

Nah, that homeless guy in THPS is actually somewhat likeable.

[@izzyramirez724]

Jake Phelps has that energy that make people do crazy things, No one will ever do that again RIP Jake Phelps

[@acct_deleted]

I like how Reynolds is like the authority on big shit haha. He's like "Big kickflip: Confirmed."

[@sidtoler9725]

They had him on this and the Davis gap because he was one of the only people that ever tried before...

[@zepolcin2412]

T H Heavy agreed, lol that's the boss man.

[@christopherpedersen1820]

Should have had Diego. Idk what happened to him, but he was always so under rated. He was always doing the biggest shit back in the day and no one even batted an eyelash.

[@thomasrainbow]

I bet Reynolds could of frontside flipped it in his prime. Maybe still?

[@sixish]

I know right? My fucking jaw dropped during his Evil & Good part.

[@wellmax3749]

Best thrasher series by far

[@reefchiefer]

because King of the road isn't a thrasher series anymore.

[@pudgy596]

Yes

[@albertosamaniego2476]

Ryan Decenzo is so underrated

[@lauriecarnes2758]

albertosamaniego I think its cause hes kind of a dork

[@patrickstar5489]

Fact

[@jasondashney]

@@lauriecarnes2758 That's part of the appeal though. I caught up with him a couple weeks ago in Vancouver and he's literally the exact same as he was as a little kid in North Delta. He hasn't changed a bit. It was really nice to see. He's as humble as it gets. He goes "I'm up here because there was a contest in Everett" . He meant street league just outiside Seattle where he made the finals. I said I had started watching it the night before on KZbin and I asked him for a spoiler and he goes "I missed my last trick". That was all he had to say about how his contest went down even though he did so much insane stuff there.

[@-mv]

"I don't think I'll ever do a gnarlier kickflip, maybe if Phelps is there screaming at me" 💔 ):

[@patrickstar5489]

That's when it really hit me... Sad shit man. RIP Jake

[@Aurora11793]

the casual kickflip down an 11 at 2:35 is just hilarious... how fucking good are these people

[@mustyskate9435]

That is the best kickflip that has ever gone down! Ryan needs more recognition

[@aussietrue612]

What about Dave Bachinsky Kickflip down El Toro..?

[@str8shoota745]

this is a double set and 18 stairs this is atleast equal

[@akbarfajarmaulana5986]

M.J.F.S From Sydney bigger than el toro i think. This shit is long tho

[@the6ig6adwolf]

I'm not saying its better but Shecklers kickflip at the Costco gap is pretty impressive.

[@dallasonfire604]

Ya shecklers Costco gap is better I think .

[@johnberryconwayiii7071]

When you've got Andrew Reynolds saying "That's a really REALLY big kickflip", you have assuredly done something great.

[@PatrickByrne-e5v]

shifty wit it too tho...

[@kendanzan8088]

The amount of bravery and courage and fearlessness some of these skaters have is absolutely incredible.

[@Joao-te6nx]

Ryan is underrated cs he's a fuuuuucking monster.

[@Hyrulean_skater]

truth 🙌

[@MrElias760]

I dunno he's pretty well known as far as I can tell. He's a sick skater though. Got a good frontside kickflip.

[@codenamefat1040]

my friend used to ask me why he was my favourite lol

[@VXBAKER]

Ikr he's a fucking monster but he's on darkstar so he gets overlooked

[@javierlozanoregueiro2954]

Such a gnarly kickflip and still decenzo is slept on. Smh

[@fastballfilms4214]

Javier Lozano 4 real dude! Man is a beast and people playing games with him like plan b did with joslin

[@cyrusmeyer2816]

Javier Lozano its cause kids see him fuck up in streetleague and they overlook his raw talent. Definitely underrated for sure

[@patrickbyrne5070]

Not just gnarly but stylish af too. That little shifty he catches and lands so nicely. Going big but also keepin mad steezy is a rarity

[@LuanOlivieraMatriz]

If Reynolds says that might be the biggest kickflip ever done, that shit is the truth. My War rules!

Luan Oliveira stfu luan

[@Max-kc4yh]

yes i agree

[@user-og6ol2im7v]

hey luan do a christ air fs noseslide

That wasn't a big kickflip at all. you're wrong about absolutely everything in the whole universe, dude. go read some books about big kickflips, and clean your room.

[@brandt8051]

So Luan.. How bout a treflip sir? You have that in you!!

[@brandoloudly9457]

this guy has become one of my favorite skaters. been out of the scene for a while, but watching nine club interviews and reviews, this dude is for sure one of the most gnarly out there.

I remember skating with him an scooter back in like 03 at North Delta skatepark. There was noone around as passionate about skateboarding as these kids. I literally seen Ryan cry he was so upset when Scott showed him up on a trick he had been trying once. Congrats on the success, you deserve it.

I live dwntwn in SF, insomnia has me wondering around the city at night. I walked to here at 3am; completely& utterly ridiculous that someone kickflipd, let alone fcking ollied that considering the size.. it's hard to appreciate the sets/rails/ect these guys tear up until u see it w/ur own eyes... A screen can dwarf the magnitude of it all.

[@Rufusdos]

So true. I always think of that Bob Dylan lyric too, from "Like a Rolling Stone": "You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you" - skateboarding feels 100 times more intense than it looks anyway.

[@layyouin6860]

maxxedoutbeatz ____ Hey brother, opportunities come and go. I missed great ones too. I think most skaters started off shy, hence why we started skating. I don't think it's like that now unfortunately. I'm just saying back when you started (I dunno when but you seem to be someone before this huge bandwagon), and when I started, it was just an escape. I know I'm just going on a tangent, but I love skating and I honestly think the entire culture, took a big hit as it is so mainstream now.
