Cyrus had a full head of hair before he started going to this spot.

[@novelaego2404]

lol

[@KASPERZIOM]

xD

[@teufel333]

mastered this thing like a monch so he became one

[@goingupandupandup]

cyrus bennett is one of the greatest skateboarders of our generation

[@dadboard]

My generation is late 90’s 2k era and I gotta say this dude is the truth. I love how some of these newer guys take spot creativity and technical skating to the next level and do it with so much style. Y’all are keeping the spirit alive and well and I love to see it.

[@jackthehumanofficial]

literally yes so slept on

[@Crcmvnt]

This ☝️

[@artomarto679]

Who?

[@WHDRWN]

very poor mans gilbert

[@domt.2510]

Why is he so strong tho he literally just focused a board by throwing it on an edge like twice. Send my man to the MLB.

[@tacomnts]

😂😂😂

[@1n2333]

It was already pressure cracked lol

[@thethe-nt1tb]

I thought that whoever he rides for is making some pretty crappy boards. I have seen plenty of people throw boards in anger, just like he did, and never did they break like that. And I have been skating since '90, and boards around '92 - '94 were really poorly made. During that time, a friend broke the tail off a brand new board just rolling off a curb as we skated down the street.

[@Rustyfingaz]

Like a video game, damn

[@lamambas9390]

note to self: never buy a limousine board lol

[@ellis7622]

One of the funnest things in skateboarding is watching a talented crew session a really unique obstacle like this and seeing how each person takes it on.

[@slimkim3046]

the blood vessel poppin on his head tho hahahaha

[@planetzoot7410]

Classic

[@TR7Skate]

the sombrero is a perfect name for that spot

[@gregpnavarro]

Thank you Farran, thank you QS. These are such a good use of archival footage for story telling. Don't stop making these!

[@bennyshambles]

This is Cyrus’ spot like that firecracker fountain is Max’s spot.

[@felixmcdonnell6563]

I was the kid in the back at 8:15 I skate that spot all the time, I remember that day clear as day It was insane. Cyrus is the coolest

[@rovingmauler7410]

You should post some clips of you skating that spot. I want to see more footage of people skating this place.

[@haydenwuzhere]

That’s dope, hope you’re still skating.

[@calnewbytubey]

@@rovingmauler7410 this vid made me appreciate Louie skating it even more: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWLJq4iNepZ9qac

[@Sk84Life]

found you lol

[@jasonlu9253]

love you felix

[@Danno382]

This is sick you’re seeing like 20-30 tricks, it’s a documentary, you get the whole backstory. I’m not explaining this well, but I really enjoyed the video and the format of it.

[@cailreagh9398]

This is the best series in all of skateboarding. This one is a tie for the best one with every other one. SO sick. Love it.

[@user-dw7tk7zu3w]

These videos are done so well. So enjoyable. Wouldn’t change a thing about them.

[@gadfanad]

Love this series, QS. Thank you!

[@connors9512]

That board focus was unreal

[@beemelonhead1]

These "favorite spot" vids are dope and y'all should do more. I remember liking the AVE green bench one a lot too. Very cool way of getting into different skaters heads and how they approach things.

[@grantsnelson3303]

Just commenting to say these are great. Exactly what skateboarding needs

[@dadboard]

Love content like this. Bigup quartersnacks 🙏

[@chasepalumbo2929]

This spot is insanely satisfying to watch this type of technical and stylish skater skate. I coomed multiple times

[@Potaterrr]

Such a dope and weird piece of architecture

[@rippendale]

Cyrus, you should really put Trung on the team.

[@jedlynch4820]

Best series. Every skater can relate to these episodes

[@uhlectronic]

Found this spot when I was visiting for some techno shows. Wish I had a board with me. Thanks for sharing! Check out Elsewhere and Basement!

[@PocketSkateMag]

thank you for this❤

[@AgainstPureReason]

nice edit and background infos, a pleasure to watch

[@natefeldhaus]

Thank you been waiting for this one!

[@booftoot]

crazy how he can flip out of fakie manuals that good, its a solid pop and catch every time

[@MrJordanSilver]

thank you. this video ruled.

[@eletor]

this is great, hope to see more of these

[@gerdov1]

Amazing video, best series! Seeing Max Palmer there was sick too

[@jackthehumanofficial]

MORE LIKE THIS PLEASE

[@theowainwright7406]

This format is sick

[@BIMONLAKI]

Best series

[@connorparker6504]

Yesss needed this one 🫶

[@artiebucco9660]

The fakie flip out/ halfcab flip is sick, but my favorite is the wallie 180-fakie manual- halfcab out he does. No flip. It's so pleasant on the eyes. Happy for Limosine, all those guys rule.

[@MichaelandIkle]

fakie manual half-cab flip is one of the craziest tricks I've ever seen... great interview!

[@dudesarecool5]

I love Cyrus

[@-solidsnake-]

Good job this was a good watch

[@BambiDebbieWoods]

I really enjoyed this

[@the_misinformer]

Cyrus Bennett is one of the main reasons why skateboarding is beyond understand sick!!!

[@Hartwell10]

That board focus at 1:22 was amazing 👀

[@goop6007]

i saw cyrus skating in nyc last summer but i didn’t know who it was then

[@dt-dontripking8931]

Yooo this spot is crazy to pull so many tricks off

[@gregevans8141]

Content on point as per

[@kevinalamo4250]

That was amazing! What a sick spot. I have never seen anyone skate it regular. Louie is regular, but he did sw 180 manny bigspin if I'm not mistaken. It seems literally impossible to skATE regular... pushing mongo while taking that curved runway , I can't imagine it.

[@iDrummer14]

I think Dustin Henry has some clips on it. Regular skater

[@kevinalamo4250]

@@iDrummer14 was it switch? I just can't imagine taking that narrow ass curve pushing mongo

[@wacksilson64]

Bro i wish i was good with flip tricks. Im really good with grinds, ollies and spin tricks like shuvs, and body varials But i skate goofy so

[@gunfun7772]

Nothing like this spot

[@lilmikeytheskater]

So epic

[@Parkerspuffin]

Infecting sane

[@planetzoot7410]

Now you gotta do back tail flip to regs

[@freibourdto693]

🤩 🤩🤩🤩🔥🔥🔥

[@Sk84Life]

Called red circle and that spot is insane to even manual to drop. More difficult than what is shown in these clips

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥☀️

[@pieterroesbeke3460]

the idea of going fakie manuel into that, the wallie, the drop, the curb... fucked

[@CamaroLSskateboarding]

How'd he fucking break his board like that?!?! I know it hit perfectly but still wtf....

[@Toaster___Bath]

Cyrus with hair kind of looks like he should act in American Pie

[@BZU1700]

Holy shit

[@dylives7667]

Some kind of MyWar thing going on.

[@viktorjaakkola200]

He landed a wallie fakie manny triple flip out on one foot in the first clip haha

[@nicolaspadilla2350]

Yoooo

[@digitallovers6804]

why break board man

[@spht9ng]

i get it if the board's already quite razored, you have backup decks and its the end of a really long crazy session.

[@dneck]

@4:48 Martin Shkreli gets justice
