Westgate seems more pro than other pros.

[@turquoisecrown8393]

truest statement ever

[@robleymcdonnell]

They're pro, he's professional

[@mushlove6933]

He likes to go fast and do bigger things. A lot of pros are more techy.

[@nickshamas]

He's real, and kind, and committed to the role, which seems to come natural..

[@HoriizoNxD]

Cause he doesnt post on instagram everyday lol

[@mattloumeau6977]

Brandon sure makes a lotta people in the hood happy

[@skaterhugs1147]

few things in skateboarding are more delighting than seeing the words "Rough Cut" and "Brandon Westgate" together

[@zblackburnnn352]

So cool to see how westgate is with people. Like at that kickflip back tail to bump 3 spot. Super chill dude appreciated the love from a fan, handled the pissed off lady well and homied up the cop. Then comes back prob 30 min later and stomps it bolts. What a fucking legend.

[@alexanderferus7816]

indeed i agree

[@Ghostyfrost9688]

That cop at around the 6 minute mark was actually very chill. I respect that dude, more cops should be like that

[@londonola7977]

NickStone68 6:10 there ye go 🤙

[@FirstMatterCreative]

I wish more kids looked up to skaters like Westgate, his interaction with the cop and lady is so refreshing.

[@anthonydandrea270]

In many ways Brandon west gate is the greatest of all time and quite possibly the most underrated of all time at the same time....😐

[@ScagAteHer]

Cuz hes so private. But i fully agree.

[@BigDubstepEnergy]

3 things I enjoy: Skating with no music, bails and Brandon Westgate.

[@ltrizzle12]

Jared Comer could NOT agree more. The aesthetic sounds of street skating have always been cathartic for me, sonically. Too much emphasis on the right complementary sound track for a skater’s part. Fuck all that. Au natural por favor.

[@fivehourenergy6159]

@@ltrizzle12 yes but some parts would be awful rough cut like mindfield. I get what you mean though

[@filmbuff4]

I've been wanting to see this guy get SOTY since his Stay Gold part

[@jsalzman5268]

He doesn’t need SOTY, he’s a living legend.

[@Rufusdos]

He more than deserves it. It'll be interesting to see who gets it now that Phelps isn't at the helm. It's always interesting to see who gets it.

[@jeffledbetter29]

My palms were sweating watching the attempts. Westgate is insane

[@isaias_up1623]

Yo same lol😅

[@SozINh]

everytime brandon drops anything, everyone at the skatepark starts skating faster for the next week, shits chaos but you really do notice it.

[@m0431]

Lmfao I'm guilty of this. When Busenitz, GT or Westgate drop footage I try to skate like 3 times as fast but then I eat shit and tone it back down.

[@davontaeowens848]

@@m0431 "but then I eat shit and tone it back down" lmfao

[@8029x]

Michael White when im riding park I love to skate fast but when it comes to streets I really am cautious because ive been absolutely destroyed too many times

[@ChinkyFilms]

If that lady at 1:34 wouldve stared at him for 1 sec longer she would've witnessed greatness smh

[@destroya_2345]

ChinkyFilms fax I was pissed at that. Hard flips are my favorite trick

[@willthomsen7569]

Ha I was just thinking wow she watches the whole run up then turns her head for the big moment

[@Ghostyfrost9688]

This is some real raw street skating right here. So many sketchy spots. This dude is a legend

[@ZwhoHeBe929]

Relentless!

[@apolllitik]

he touch what others don't even see

[@vgrepairs]

touches

[@BIBAAAM]

Westgate, the only dude who can make an ollie in a part and look so sick !

[@iskaaa37]

I feel for that cop man, he couldn't have been nicer about it. He's gotta do his job....

[@llpo9627]

Bootlicker!

[@lorahester7]

Garth petreus Sorry but not ALL cops are assholes...It's kind of like how not all people named Garth are huge douchebags.

[@fotafoto]

agree

[@thomasbellamy1]

@@llpo9627 bro at the end of the day they're still people with a job to do. He was polite and said come back later. He could have been an asshole about it but he wasn't. Some cops are dicks but this guy was chill.

[@kyledebacker1321]

His whole additude changed when Brandon told him that he rides for New Balance. Once he found out a skateboarder is richer than him he shut right up.

[@eldrs-]

so many enders and the most powerful style in skateboarding, with the most polite / humble personality . A+

[@JoeB-ei5jy]

Brandon Westgate better win skate of the year this year, he's been putting in so much work so many sick video parts his been killing it, he deserves that award.

[@WolfWould]

Stuntman on a stuntwood. He's a killer. The sounds of that tile! Ollies are my favorite.

[@resqjack2772]

great cop! remember folks this guy broke his back severals back and still going big mad respect

[@matthewgower3379]

Brandon is one of the most unacknowledged skaters I have ever seen. This guy is busting huge tricks all the time.

[@wg7017]

1:33 looked away at the best part smh

[@ethan94979]

Ahaha i was thinking the same thing

[@statneticz8681]

Exactly. Think thats why a lot of people are boring nowadays. Cant even appreciate things like a beautiful hardflip over a handrail, SMDH INDEED!!

[@vividvulpe9842]

🤣👌🏼🤔

[@SuaSponte75]

No one ever: Chris Roberts: "This Fuckiiing Guy"

[@terenceb8053]

Brandon was my biggest inspiration when I started skateboarding back in 2011 (13 years old), I bought my first "real" skateboard during a trip to New York, it was a Zoo York Incentive Westgate pro model. I remember watching his Emerica's videos so many times. The dude is still killing it.

[@cecar77]

One of the most underrated pros out there

[@seymourcutts6952]

My feet and knees hurt after watching this

[@avgdi]

Brandon is an animal! I already knew this, but he never ceases to amaze me. I was nervous for him watching so many of these tricks. I can’t even imagine how much more gnarly the spots were in person! Definitely one of my favorite skaters.

[@Gunzbaldwin]

Brandon seems like a super nice guy

[@aquaflow1264]

First time I ever seen him was Stay Gold, was instantly a fan of his skating,, and now his personality gets shown on this1.. super dope/chill dude seems like.. this is by far my favorite RC

[@montana4069]

I used to skateboard when I was a younger man this video is pretty cool just watching it makes me feel young again thank you for sharing

[@dan-iw3bv]

the second ollie over the handrail to bank, when he says should i do one more... so beautiful! damnit! i also love when parts show interactions with security and the security guys or cops are actually cool, and the skaters are cool and respectful, it happens, they may get kicked out but dude gives them a tip when to come back to get the clip. so rad.

[@SkateFillet]

Westgate is the best! Can't wait to talk about this on next week's podcast. #SkateFillet

[@kyleyesiahsupree]

there's normal spots that pros skate and then there's Westgate spots that only Brandon can skate.

That ollie around 14:50 for example

Awesome sk∞ Thank you Mr Westgate for the inspiration, Yah bless your home and your family.

[@FluffyMeowington]

These Rough Cuts are the best skating related content on YT, keep em coming! Also, this guy seems like a fantastic role-model. Chill, humble, a perfectionist, friendly to strangers.

[@Antweak83]

Already knew this part was gonna be nuts

[@LKSKLS]

Brandon looks super chill while not skating, but as soon as he steps on the board you know he's gonna fuck shit up. Love those rough cuts

[@turquoisecrown8393]

we need a blue collar soty award and Brandon would jus win every year

[@samyjames420]

At 1.37 how unlucky the woman not seeing the hardflip landed perfectly 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

[@johncorbin5332]

I thought the same thing, why watch him roll almost all the way up to it only to turn your head at the last second

[@samyjames420]

Murphy Pendleton yeah right

[@HandsomePuggg]

@@johncorbin5332 Because she knew it'd be a way better angle on the final edit

[@gozinta82]

That woman may have assumed he was gonna try to ride the rail like she has seen from time to time. "Another guys gonna attempt the rail grind....pfff" Then BAM she missed all that heavenly glory. It could've made her day THAT much better. "I don't know what that guy just did but it looked hard".

[@facekidnoise]

Nicest cop ever, back in my days it was totally different story.

[@Lucianato2]

That was pretty freakin' sweet! It's nice to NOT see a young punk kid. This dude is down to earth and pretty respectful, at least in the footage on here. Much respect for this dude! :)

[@michaelswanson6677]

Dude, these are some creative, crusty spots! Cheers Brandon 🍻 Brandon's kickflips look like Neen's heelflips.. they're like "north" flips.. I love 'em ✌️

Rough cuts are so much better than the final.

god everything he does is so awkward and fast!! love itt!

Westgate has always seemed like such a real dude. I wish more skaters/people were like him

[@jsalzman5268]

How does this dude get better and better? After watching this, I think Westgate might be the GOAT.

Respect how most his parts are from eastcoast if anyone skate here they know how sketchy every pot is . You can tell by the power of his push he from eastcoast shitty ground everywhere

[@davidgee6452]

Never been on the east coast but I always thought that shit too all the spots out there r crusty af lol

[@JakeMCGreen]

David Gee yeah the ground always has snow and road salt and shit during the winter, probably doesn’t help the quality of concrete and shit. Why did I need to say that

[@dann-y7636]

Westgate is hands down the most entertaining skater to watch. Dude is a beast!

[@rossmcleister5839]

Never fails to amaze me. He’s such a mysterious quiet dude but a fucking beast on a board. He skates spots that 99% of us wouldn’t even consider to be a spot. Skater of the decade!!! SOTD! THIS IS SKATEBOARDING. Street league is a fucking joke! This is STREET!!!!! notice no red bull or monster logos? No Nike tennis shorts over yoga pants! No RD flailing his arms around during commentary. This is RAW! Just how skateboarding should be. Props Brandon for keeping skateboarding REAL! I love the sound of polyurethane on actual streets. Seriously the most impressive skateboarding I’ve seen in years. FUCKING BEAST MODE!!!

[@flatgroundtv7097]

East coast superman at a super raw ruff ground. Crazy. Real street skating right here.

[@alexanderbertallo1995]

So clean.. with such a high pop... but the speed he is riding is insane... second to none...

[@AlexNiedt]

Incredible. Pure athleticism.

[@gvitus4804]

What a cool cop bruh! Nice to see Brandon back

[@perrytomczyk]

I noticed the spot in South Burlington Vermont, the handrail you grind at the bank in front of the parking garage of the University Mall. I grew up in that town, its awesome to watch a pro destroy that spot.

[@davidbullock5870]
