The control is on a different level. I remember he was my favorite skater back in high school. I graduated 12 almost 13 years ago, he’s still killing it today.

[@carlweezer1908]

Same

[@kpacny1]

uhhh, I think you're confused because he didnt skateboard then. He started skating in 2017

[@iamhere444]

no he did not@@kpacny1

[@albertoacosta6788]

@@kpacny1his first part I saw of him was in 2007 when he would skate nothing but Nike blazers

[@jehscee]

@@kpacny1 lmao, they used to call him nugget back then so easy mistake

[@GGMattt]

Unlimited style and control, never get tired of Shane's footage

[@acmeelmerfudd8147]

He is absolutely one of the best skater

[@coltonr96]

Ive considered shane the best technical skater for like 10 years now but he still keeps getting better

[@karlin_oriley]

One of the absolute best and most stylish skaters ever!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@fadedidentity]

the level of comfort these pros exhibit with skating in any stance - whether it be regular, switch, fakie or nollie - is literally insane. I’ll never know what it’s like to have that much balance and control

[@treehouse6025]

There's so many ways you can work o your balance while being off the board that will make you better on the board. Slack line, jogging, sprinting, practicing spinning in the air, etc

[@fadedidentity]

⁠@@treehouse6025definitely! great tips, and I’ll admit I’ve never actively worked to improve my balance and control aside from literally just riding my board. but as a 30 year old guy who’s been skating off and on for the last 20 years, I just know in my heart that I will never have that level of comfort to pop out switch and nollie tricks like it’s nothing lol

[@treehouse6025]

@fadedidentity @fadedidentity Hey, I am 33, and I am better now than I ever was. Despite that, I only skate once a week and start up again after about an 8 year hiatus. I believe it's because I do sprints, I swim laps where I use only my legs going forward and backward, I use the steam room, I practice standing on basketballs sometimes, practice juggling soccer balls with my feet, I will hold onto a pull up bar while standing on one of those big yoga balls to get a core exercise and other weird things. I just do a little of each of those things throughout the week and slowly increase them. I only skate when my legs are rested and once a week, but when I do skate, I try to skate hard and try tons of new things. I don't focus too much on one thing and exhaust myself. I just constantly move on and have fun, and man, it's really made a difference for me. I can actually see myself becoming really good one day if I keep it up. How do you know what you are capable of or how good you could be if you don't work on those small things like balance, endurance, etc? Maybe you would surprise yourself. At least for me, I know that the way I learn things is by doing things in small doses with breaks. Like once a week. By the time it's time to skate again the next week, I am pumped to skate and cannot wait. I can feel the creative juices flowing. If I try to skate consecutive days, I can tell I'm not as good and don't progress as much. Anyways, I hope you will give yourself a shot to become better than you've ever been and challenge yourself anew. You can do hard things and great things. It's not just for others. Either way, at the end of the day, just having fun is the goal. I will do all kinds of stupid stuff like go onto my stomach from standing at speed and try to control the board and push with my hands. I'll manual and nose manual around a bunch and if I make a mistake trying a trick and the board does something else, I just go with the flow and try to make that trick instead and come back to the other one later. I ride switch around and just sometimes go fast around the park or do tic tacs. You would be amazed at how much better you could get just strengthening your core and other parts of your body as well as warming up before trying too hard. It can take me an hour to warm up sometimes, but when I do, I can feel a flow state. I guess what I'm saying is to just do all kinds of new movements with your body on and off the board that challenges you. Even just writing with your non dominant hand or kicking a ball with your weak foot to get more control. It all translates into skating I feel like! Oh and I don't do anything to crazy to hurt myself. When I started back up I couldn't even switch flip without my ankles hurting. Now it's no problem after a couple of months. My switch and nollie game is much better than before also because of those dumb things I do. Anyways, good luck bro. Surprise yourself!👍

[@W8DEY]

It’s hard to call it switch when Shane skates comfortably both ways…such a beast still! 🔥🔥🔥

[@koryw8395]

2:30 that bs flip angle is so good

[@b3npeters]

Nugget was a beast in school 2! Dude threw down a mean lip slide down Country Road 13 back home in Oz 🇦🇺

[@MrFred186]

very few skaters will ever do it with so much finess

[@jamo1774]

His footage is so satisfying to watch. The most technically difficult tricks done seemingly effortless and with such amazing style.

[@bluebimmer8204]

This is some of the best skating I’ve seen in a while. Sheesh

[@christopherjohnson1414]

definitely one of the most techically proficient skaters alive today

[@SuperTrollTV]

Shane always pushing next level stuff. But always. Makes it undeniable with the stuff he does.

[@shimmy123123]

The fact that he skates goofy and does MOST of this video SWITCH is truly mind blowing.

[@BrandonHanson]

This tuy we could watch all day. True icon of shredding.

[@PotentialBeats]

One of 20 best Flow's i've ever seen

[@oghash4912]

🙏 God has blessed this dude, keep shredding Shane!!!✊💚

[@joenathan7392]

Dudes undershirt game is strong

[@Its.Always.Sunny.in.Phoenix]

Shabe O'Neill is hands-down one of the best to ever do it in terms of style and difficulty of tricks.. His pop, his catch, his landing, the insanely beautifully done switch tricks which to the untrained eye ALOT of skaters wouldn't even realize that the tricks were being done in switch. He has been one of my favorites for a long time now and he will for sure go down in history as one of the cleanest skaters to ever do the damn thing!

[@slals]

agree

[@CockLobster]

That curved ledge looks so fun

[@danielalder1604]

His landings seem perfect.

[@richhomiekevin6159]

Those April shoes 🤌

[@pauliedibbs9028]

Simply amazing.

[@jerkerjamestapales9718]

So much swag, perfection

[@j.ramsey8863]

Cleanest flat ground to ever touch a board.

[@clintoruss153]

This is the kind of skill, that if I lived on a desert island and you told me it existed I wouldn’t believe you, I would have to see it with my own eyes,it blows my mind

[@cosmicabyss7358]

Good shit dude love to see it!

[@MichaelRyanH]

The way he lands bolts with his toes at the edge of the board is just perfect.

[@poo81]

My favourite skater...

[@crispy-k]

Almost too clean to be real. 10/10

[@shneckelheimer]

Gooood god. How is it possible to be this good?

[@elisalerno23]

Butter!! 🤘😎👍

[@destructo3915]

Man, I remember when he was 'nugget' and sponsored by Skate Mental. I don't keep up with skating as much as before, but it's my belief that he popularized Skate Mental as a brand and that's why Koston left Girl to ride for them.

[@David-tk7yo]

Smooth like butter

[@uhh482]

The music was perfect pick for some sick ass skate poetry!!!❤️‍🔥👊

[@ununseptium7961]

nollie inward heels to nose mannies are beautiful things to watch

[@TheSk8Escape]

Insane! SOTY

[@BoostAuthority]

Wtf!!!!!!! Tech and smooth

[@kendtchileninjah5905]

Some ppl are just destined to pick up a skateboard. Shane is truly one of those ppl

[@mikeboucher9184]

Dude is the truth!

[@ScRaMbLeS247]

Best style right now 4 sure

[@Dyl-XL]

Bro really knows how to use the pocket

[@AlanS_DGC]

Thank you for adding in the real speed on the last clip. Sometimes the slow just doesn’t do justice for how well a trick is done.

[@Andrew-dd3yt]

So clean

[@Sigmund-Fraud]

Nugget has the smoothest steeziest style in skateboarding - change my mind

[@mykoladzvonyk5992]

The best of the world

[@antoniodal]

Talking about consistency, i think he's the n.1 ever, almost unreal

[@beardedtiger]

From one Shane to another he is dope lol

[@andrewbwscsccibulkagot4497]

Damn Shane!

[@ipo7596]

Dope spots man!

[@redlitemeatandpizza]

When a tony hawk pro skater video game comes to life with crazy grind combos lol unreal!

[@kzooCAM]

what shoes does he have on second to last clip? the gray with black nike logo

[@churchwood5016]

This is tough to watch; its too sick. Good God is he good.

[@kiettomo87]

Imagine the feeling being able to skate like Shane😲

[@RumboDisciplina]

clean, clean

[@PrettyBlueThings]

Effortless AF🔥

[@chadledford9646]

DOPE!

[@camillethouvenotmusic]

Insane 😮

[@stevee.7419]

I don’t know if it’s his skating or the music, but I feel like 😭 crying.

[@MrRickRenegade]

I watched the last trick on a loop like 20 times.

[@sunglassesron9464]

Clean stuff! 2nd vid on this channel that I've watched. Seems Nike are a popular shoe to skate in these days... long gone are the days of the Gazelle or the speed of the Puma...

[@cwr8618]

80s song was a nice change. flowed well

[@alexbaum2204]

At first I was gonna say this video just needs more Billy Idol. And then in comes the Mazzy Star? What?! Now I just have to go listen to both songs, I guess. Dude is unreal, by the way. So much control, so much style, and still goes big every now and then. Fuckin’ A! Great vid!

[@TheFunkloft]

Haha, same. Third track was a bummer though. I wonder if this is shanes own selection.

[@EsotericOccultist]

Sickness

[@silascybin]

Ive admittely only seen him on street league. I had no idea. His trick selection and style, gah damn! Time to scour the internet for his parts!

[@PVTParts-eu3zl]

Bruh, you slept on Shane O’Neil???? I get how but of all the skaters? (Did the same with Torey Pudwill and Tommy Sandavol, legends)

[@silascybin]

@@PVTParts-eu3zl Like a mattress, bro. Lol nah, I haven't really followed skaters since my teen years (I'm 35). I got hard into drugs and had crippling back issues in my 20s. Only in the last couple years have I been able to skate like days of old. I've watched things here and there; Haslam, Yuto, Nyjah etc (street league, Olympics). I'm way out of the loop (days of Sight Unseen, Menikmati, Yeah Right were my day). But yeah, Shane if fucking awesome. I'm catching back up, besides those 3, you got other recommendations?

[@graalcloud]

inspirational

[@mello-sesh]

Bloody Aussie legend ! He will go down as one of the innovators of the skating world.

[@TheFunkloft]

Why innovator? He is justcextremely technical and clean but not really innovating, tbh.

[@mello-sesh]

@@TheFunkloft that's your opinion it's wrong but it's yours so agree to disagree

[@crazyralph6386]

Props to the camera man also!

[@CornerPressurE]

Sick

ever heard the term "textbook" in skateboarding. He's the Author

[@Diz_XS]

Took me 9 months to pass this level on legendary

[@topsykretts8058]

Paul is the Switch God; no debating that at all but Nugget is right there and probably better at making shit look so buttery.
