Skaters Are Now Better Than Video Games...

Skaters in 2023 are doing video game level kinda tricks!
In today's video I react to SLS's recent competition off their remake of the famous Wilshire 15.

As someone who grew up skating and watching Lamont here do insane shit, him saying this is insane is just madness. my pro skater dreams are now a fantasy.

[@user-dy3uk2xm8g]

🥲

[@ifelldownawell]

Yeah man it's crazy how they going back to back

[@hood_nation_tv]

You gotta be ready to die to become a pro skater now a days , Jake Phelps said it best

[@hlogilehlogonolo5438]

You just gotta be really athletic asf, I know that skaters usually don’t look athletic cause they skinny but them motherfuckers are athletic asf and skate the whole damn day everyday of your life or every weekend depending on how you develop I believe you can do it

[@rudestbeast4907]

Theres still reasons to skate tho, for me it regulates my mental health and pulls me out of my head. I dont hold a candle to this skill level but still find a hunger to skate again after a long time off from a broken hip. My world sux until i skate again. I was the lowest skill in our scene but im one of the only few who still skate in their 40s. Dudes who critisized me are fat 9 to 5 normies now, "i dont sk8 no more im too fat and have kids to raise" is there excuse. Dont stop skating because of ppl who are better. We live forever as long as we skate at any skill level.

[@SaintKnar]

the dude who did the wallride is JhanCarlos Gonzalez, he's been on Creature camp for 10 years or something like that, just recently turned pro for them. Most haven't heard from him because he is from Colombia, but he has been out here making a name for himself in countless local, regional, and international contests. He represented Colombia in the Tokyo Olympics. So yeah the dude is a certified pro, as someone who has seen him rip in person, it comes as no surprise he's that good and quick to murder a contest. Hopefully they do him justice with a decent part next year.

[@emil1322]

The Olympics? Wow, yeah he’s very talented

[@Acaidia]

It's crazy how they had like 30 guys in a row casually hit tricks on this stair set that would've been the highlight of a tape/edit 20 years ago. The progression of skating and action sports in general in the 21st century has been crazy. The bar just keeps getting raised. If I tried to recreate these tricks I would most likely kill myself on the first attempt 😂

[@rudestbeast4907]

yea its way beyond me but i still enjoy what i can stll do, sometimes i have to take a break to get dopamine again from my same ole tricks but i've become more creative with the few i still know and neighborhood gives me respect because im still skating at almost 50, its crazy because even the cops are cool now instead of chasing and tackling us they just say be careful for ppl which i always am and dismount when they pass by, i prefer the company of the gutter punks and old drunks in wheel chairs over most other skaters. i dont want to hear about the X games or who did a 900 off a roof top.

[@cdizzle310]

I legit laughed out loud when you cracked your back imitating that trick 😂

[@TVillani22]

I’m dying laughing rn bcuz of that🤣

His back popped didn’t even crack 🤣🤣

Yo that happened right as I read this 😂💀

Heard it too that’s crazy

That shit was loud as fuk bro😂

[@JohnBeattie_]

I’m 29, I remember it’s unreal how far skating has progressed. You have unknown dudes in cities doing tricks like these for instagram reels these days when tricks like these were saved for YEARS for video parts back in the day. I’m 29 for reference. lol. I love where it went, it’s unreal

[@stokkejanraggio9091]

I grew up in a generation where we’d be able to throw down but it would take us hours to land it (pros weren’t any different either), now it’s within 1-5 tries. It’s absolutely insane

It shouldn’t be surprising at all. Skaters were ridiculously trash up until a few years ago and now they are actually decent.

Got u 😎

broo od funny

[@Vscustomprinting]

Bro it aint for me, but i still respect the style, much ❤

[@1Minioner]

I skated from like '91-'99 and all of this shit completely blows my mind. This stuff isn't just a new level from when I was skating, it was completely unfathomable that people would be doing this some day.

[@necrocorey6408]

I was one of the best skaters in my local scene. I'm old and fat now, but I watched a few clips that popped up on my feed of current skaters. Like random tiktoks or some shit. I was like "oh this must be a collection of the new shit. Normal people don't do shit like this." I was **convinced** it was just the finales of pros I didn't know since I've been out of the scene. Literally just casual busting of tricks that would have cemented people as #1 of all time when I was skating.

[@Airik1111bibles]

Wait... are we in another universe? Did I miss a few years of skating ? 😮

[@LamontHoltTV]

Fr lol

[@TheJacobHughesSkate]

Yuto harigome

[@AR-io8fv]

@@TheJacobHughesSkateis Yuto partly credited for the supercharged acceleration of skating? Or is he and the acceleration just a symptom of the new video social media age?

[@kylealmorabi4273]

That alley oop, front 180, switch crook, to fakie is an absolutely absurd trick on that spot. He did it with such power too

[@HaxxBlaster]

11:22 The reaction had me crying! 😂 Fantastic event and reaction video man

[@waffleshredder6965]

Bro i completely lost it when the dude with no legs hit the rail😂😂😂

[@MontgomeryMonsters]

There was a time when a board slide on this rail was an ender. Now doing impossible shit is the new normal 😂

[@hood_nation_tv]

Blind sided is crazy

[@pat7917]

Nothing is impossible when you realize it’s just another flip trick. Your skate pun for the day.

[@JesseDriftwood]

This was my exact reaction while watching. I’m equal parts confused and amazed. How is this possible?!

[@Completelycory]

Same Jesse, same 😂

[@mikehunt4797]

I hope they do "Carlsbad" next for Spot Resurrection! The tricks where nuts on that Wilshire clone. I watched the video of it a few days ago and the guys went off. Lots of the stuff was landed first 2nd or 3rd try.

[@LamontHoltTV]

That’ll be crazy!

[@alexdelacotte9031]

That be tight! And yea the level of skating is unreal

[@furleysbrain]

Full treatment too - Gap, rail, up hill landing, curved concrete, grass

[@jaytheboatguy]

They already replicated the Carlsbad gap...

[@jaytheboatguy]

Now reconstructing the L🛹VE GAP would be dope...

[@erodizm]

“Who tf is this big blud?” 😂😂😂😂I thought the same shit😂😂

[@beanienclogs]

How skating is developing reminds me a ton of how the first guy to break records and run a 4.5 min mile opened up the idea that you COULD run faster and now a ton of people have done it. Seeing it with lifting as 315 is the new 135. Seems to be sped up with social media and easily widespread knowledge now. People know they can push themselves further than people of the past. Super cool to see.

[@danthegeetarman]

I watched this live and couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Like you said the original was literally a career-making spot, and now these dudes chopped it up like it was a little warmup rail lol so crazy how far skating has come since back in the day. Just wow

[@NonnyStrikes]

@7:42 Same. Threw my phones on the bed. Cat went JUMPIN.

[@isstrip1002]

Big Blood was doing shit so ill that my first reaction wasn’t even, “that was sick” but instead, “yoooo, what tf are you doing? Calm down!!” 🤣🤣🤣 But on another note, that Wallride was nuts!!

[@JosephACampbellJr]

After the Wallride, That long stare… I felt that.. 🤣 Powell came to skate !

[@trueshura6722]

The back crack at simply attempting the general motion is all of us old heads now. So funny.

[@embiate]

This series just earned my sub, 100%. I'm just getting back into skating after 15 years, so I'm in the same boat as you. I seen this when SLS dropped it and my reactions were up to par with all yours. Dude's are just fucking insane right now. The level is so insanely high.

[@robbieanderson649]

Bro. That front side hippidy doo da was crazy af. 😂😂. That cat been like waaaaaaaaa. 😂😂😂

[@TARRS1]

I skated from 12 years old to about 18 years old. I'm 32 now, and I still love watching skateboarding. Still, seeing the progress of skateboarding and where it has came, it is beyond my understanding how young guys level up this quick! When skateboarding was announced as an Olympic sport, I thought... Naw. These tricks prove why it is one! Sheeesh! Great reactions brother! Keep it going!

[@hereliestales]

I remember back in the day when a kickflip into a grind was insane. Seeing people bigspin in lipslides down a 15 set is just crazy to me now

[@hugenerd8994]

the two dudes, the one in black independent tee with a white undershirt, and the one in all red were absolutely crazy. alex too! crazy vid

[@deadmangreedo]

Who’s the all red guy?

[@xOGxSE7ENx]

Love Josh Beagle’s reaction! Yours as well, Lamont! I’m 47 now and I’d never thought they’d be pulling tricks like this! Great video!

[@stpbasss3773]

I'm 40 and been skating since around 7. I've seen the sport progress to a level I never would have thought possible in the 90's. I still skate and the kid's at the parks are insane now. I'm actually going to a new park opening this weekend in Hemet.

[@peeron6829]

hope you had a nice weekend at the new park man

The reaction when dude this that wall ride had me in TEARS 😂😂😭😭😭😭😭

Your reaction after buddy’s trick at 7:44 was me too, I almost threw my damn phone cuz man WTF 😭😭😭

[@batmb1e]

That wallride is basically a walk off knockout. Damn.

[@steelokey]

Dude I hate reaction Videos to be honest but I’m straight dying of laughter right now. I feel like we’re watching this together & our reaction are spot on the same 😂 cuz I’m just baffled, that wallie jump is what made me pause the video & drop this comment 🎉😂 you’re funny as hell & I appreciate you making this video otherwise I wouldn’t have seen this madness to begin with. Skaters are crazy now 😂 people used to say “bro you could go pro” when I was kickflipping six stairs. This is just insane

[@claycollins8973]

When your back popped, I laughed for 5 minutes straight. Had to pause the video and make a sandwich to try and get my mind off it for a Lil bit lmao

[@buddylee19082]

[@ODDiSEE_]

32 years old, seeing what these kids are doing now is absolutely nuts.

[@plaidjoker1321]

I think we're forgetting how close the street and cars were to the OG jump. You had to land your trick clean asf and stop before you wrecked someones car or yourself or your board. Definitely changes how you take this and how risky you're willing to get!

[@siegpasta]

Defenetly Agreed

[@iW3RK]

‘He begging for it, Pause’ is crazy 😂😂😂😂 love the video bro!!! Shout out from DC baby !!!😂😂😂

I've been skating since 1989(quit in 2015 due to health problems) I mean,I've seen it die twice! LOL!.....and in my humble opinion, this progression started when the pros started inserting themselves into the skateboarding business....when they quasi took over the scene from the front to the back. This can and always will be traced back to one name : Steve Rocco. He didn't pave the way,he didn't kick in the door, no....he burned the whole house down(and some bridges too!LOL!). All in the name of skateboarding progression....and here we are! Man, I love this skateboarding sh*t!
