[@LuanOlivieraMatriz]

Rough cuts are almost more fun to watch than the actual part, Chaz is super talented and needs a shoe sponsor!

[@wassupandre]

yeah luan he needs a shoes sponsor for sure,salve pro RJ tmj

[@ryanmiller7659]

For real! Es footwear!!! Skater owned.

[@tafuckinkesh]

mas a zoo York tá produzindo tênis agr

[@misterOerb]

I could see him on Diamond

[@timothyokeefe126]

I could see him on Nike or supra

[@icyearth]

It's so satisfying watching him skate.

[@big3ye378]

He is just a natural.

[@LJM2stepspain]

Ill never forget when I was told to write an essay on someone i admired when i was a kid. I wrote about chaz ortiz because he had just gotten picked up by zoo york and he was only like 15 and i found that inspirational. My parents said "why didnt you write about president bush or someone like that" I said "how many people have been presidents? like 40. Chaz is the youngest sponsored skater like ever." They didn't like that one.

[@DannyDior]

LJM2stepspain no nyjah got sponsored at 7 years old

[@jetwork131]

how you gonna tell a nigga not to be inspired by someone lmao

[@xenofyl1]

Plus Bush is the biggest piece of crap ever spawned by mankind, THAT's why you didn't pick that guy.

[@HardMyD]

I went to school with this dude, he lived a regular teens life.

[@jackcomet222]

who else rather watch rough cuts instead of the actual part

[@NicHughes]

word

[@brettd530]

Gucci Goofy Goober definitely

[@march11stoneytony]

Sounds are soo amazing

[@roycepavich2441]

Yea most of the time but sometimes it doesn’t have all the tricks

[@zeroireland]

Stay Gold single handedly started a new sub genre of video part.

[@NinjaLifestyle]

What a nice dude!

[@zapsnacker]

Rough cuts are my favorite thing to watch on thrasher. Really makes you appreciate how good these skaters are! Along with how hard the tricks are

[@Abailey57]

I love how much of this part is in Chicago. Represent

[@JohnHill]

I don't see how people reacted so casually to the gnarliest tricks

[@krankmaker]

Cyrus Meyer fuck you you piece of shit

[@yungchrist6911]

John Hill fucking kook get out of here

[@Majinnightwalker]

I just came here from watching your videos #soyboi gang lol

[@teamskuty6786]

Yung christ fuck off

[@ediblekookie]

I’m with you on that John. Smooth style paired with incredible and technical tricks? What more could you ever need

[@oliversmith7005]

How good is this, he's got the butter in those grinds and slides. his style has improved and really powerful plus hella control of his board.

[@ezrapogoda]

That darkslide was definitely unexpected :D

[@brandonritchie1534]

One of the best, why he is so underrated is a mystery to me, I mean he is sooo good, even in his rough cuts he makes most of his tricks first try

[@therealmvp5082]

We need to see more footage of him! he's so talented 👍

[@jcroque2607]

Give this guy a damn shoe sponsor! He deserve it

[@PettyTyranny]

Don't let the ridiculously smooth style fool you...Chaz Ortiz is a freakin' MONSTER on a board. Practically every trick in this rough cut is a mind-bender.

[@jayvsson]

he knows how to relax on a rail. patience is a virtue

[@DanieleGalli79]

flip frontboard is one of the most stylish trick done down hollywood 16 !

[@AtilioEscobar]

Kids got the smoothest style.

[@hickorywind7859]

That was excellent. He's one of a kind, so good.

[@MP53Films]

I love these raw cuts especially all the extra left out clips people don't use for parts.

[@lemyweaks]

Chaz has to be the most underrated skater ever, what a style

[@cynamonstudio]

Has he already been a skater of the year. I havent seen many ppl skating so well and confident . Absolutely my fav to watch now.

[@BonesDMS4life]

Nope

[@chrisneldner3284]

Pound for Pound one of the best skaters out there. He just flows and shreds anything.

[@mtx7882]

sooooo underrated my god; he's a beast

[@nickkearney8791]

His pinch is so perfect !!!

[@iloks9177]

Ortiz putting it down beast mode keep killing it out there

[@inkubus922]

Hadn't heard about this dude in a while, but he's stupid good.

[@alexbrinkmancello]

love to see the Chicago spots, hell yeah

[@xibanyae]

chaz is da man!!! and when he goes big, he's always in control!

[@tingle2958]

When i was a kid i didn't really like this dude's skate style for some reason. But i watch him now and I'm fucking blown away. So effortless

[@georgematthew1682]

His style has an element of satisfaction, it like feels good to watch it

[@adamheeley285]

Where did this guy go??? His style is sick.

[@BrushyZeus]

Casually kickflip fs boards Hollywood and sits on back tails like nothin and still doesn't have a solid shoe sponsor

[@krankmaker]

BrushyZeus it's better like this

[@krankmaker]

doyouWantsomeweed you tell me. If an opportunity comes why not but when you are already pro and get a chance to freely enjoy your own choice of shoes just embrace it. He has his whole life left to stick to 1 brand someday

[@drewtatasciore7086]

lolol thought the same as you at first

[@TreFlipuh45]

BrushyZeus hes beein doing that since he was around 13-14. Love chaz's skating but for the most part his trick selection is very predictable at this point

[@BonesDMS4life]

@@TreFlipuh45 still he’s a og to the tech kids of today he should have one for consistency alone .

[@skate318]

If there was a like button for every clip....I smash it over and over again

[@skaterboi65]

Aite sooooo.... this dropped on my bday! I'm late but holy fuck favorite part in YEARS

[@albertoszabo5491]

Smooth steady and makes it look easy man got style good shit never quit till that casket drops lol

[@Inweezy]

At first I was like normal chaz ortiz but then i was like damn that shit was good

[@jasonbirdman6670]

When is Chaz going to win street league? His style is so clean. And his bag of tricks is too legit

[@runswimplayball]

GridLess Life chaz is really fucking good but I think it's probably Shane o niel or Luan that will take out nyjah.

[@mikeforbes7189]

These are spme of the best b-sides ever yo!

[@bigjerm210ify]

Loved the filming and skating Chaz is fucking gnarly

[@Joeycrisanto]

That kick flip front board I love that first angle,MOREE

[@imaw1nn3r98]

If I had more than two hands, I would give more than two thumbs up. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@russellmadahbee8072]

Wtf! yeah dude!! backlide noseblunt slidewith the heelflip out is amazing!!!

[@Ishbu101]

Man, he's definitely improved even more

[@crazypip4910]

I see you chad!! Dude got a bag of tricks for Christmas

[@mattfreedom2002]

I reckon he'd fit on Diamond footwear

[@PatDeezy]

shit, adidas

[@andrescientos]

It's cool seeing Chaz Ortiz do a Darkslide (4:28)

[@joebuczkowski8605]

Chaz Ortiz is so PRO, god damn that boy can skate.

[@ams8085]

love the chi spots. basically only touched by chaz and neen haha

[@davidvillarreal8380]

the steez on this one is strong

[@RecoveredRidleyTruther]

Wish we saw more of Ortiz in competitions like sls, dew tour (if they even still do them) unsanctioned, xgames etc

[@seedfamily1404]

Somebody better give this dude a shoe sponsor with a quickness. How has no one snatched him up yet??? He fuckin' kills it.

[@zapsnacker]

Rough cuts are absolutely more fun to watch. Nothing like seeing a couple bails followed by bolts

[@ShroomSkateboarding]

The dude is fucking rad.

[@tdogee]

How much y'all want to bet his My War video, will not be the kick f/s board at Hollywood??

[@allanlorenzo567]

i love you chaz!!

[@adamploof3528]

Best backside tailslide in the biz.

[@garygnars]

The best bigspin backy tails I've ever seen.

[@KratosMayhem]

qp C R E E P qp don't forget about Tom Asta, Trent McClung or Shane O they have good ones to.

[@ephinskate]

KratosMayhem Sewa still holds the hardest backtail combo (bigspin flip back t bigspin flip out)

[@theskateboardfan]

That kind of skateboarding is so enjoyable to watch. He makes sure clean landings on each trick. Makes you want to skate. Instead of the super tech and sketchy.

[@peteEmage]

I'm not really a big fan of the street league side of skating but I really like Chaz Ortiz.

[@vlatoeflip]

my ads must be smoothie juice!! these tricks was smooth like that!

[@aimtherealest7]

Sick I love skateboarding so much

[@kevinbayani5289]

Sound is street is the best soundtrack ever

[@aestheticdoor4206]

[@threeshuvs]

[@TobiasHeinzle]
