Perfect time to upload this when I had nothing to watch lol

Just watched Tom asta new vid then this popped up

yeah

[@Nachsosa]

watching this at the bar lol

[@GasMoneyMusicGroup]

Malto has to be the best voice in skateboarding. So chill as a commentator.

[@chocoflan9394]

He’s always so down to earth giving very insightful information about scoring and skaters’ tactics like bailing a trick to try a cleaner one. He has contributed so much to the viewers’ experience watching these competitions.

[@eneyeseekay]

Malto is on point for sure. He gets it.❤

[@pestilentfellow3609]

At first I thought I was biased being from his home town of Kansas City, but he really is good at this.

[@p1roncho]

would pay money to hear him alongside chris cole

[@561yungin8]

That impossible to nosegrind was insane

[@eneyeseekay]

What trick could beat that? Nollie tre flip ibs nose blunt?

[@vincentizghra6144]

40:56 Vianna is hype on it. Ribeiro and Mota both doing synchronized heelflips also showing love for the trick Decenzo sends. Why I love skateboarding.

[@csauce22]

Dope.

[@PetrolPatrol]

Pretty cool that they're doing this at the Apex! Big UFC fan over here, nice to see the sports support each other.

[@bananaclipper7692]

dana and lorenzo own sls that’s why it’s on Rumble too. most ufc fans hate the apex

[@PetrolPatrol]

@@bananaclipper7692 It’s worse for the fighters than the fans tbf. I didn’t know they owned sls, that’s awesome!

[@mikeharris6335]

@@bananaclipper7692 not true at all! A bunch of us LOVE the APEX, it’s always in the smaller cage and you can here the corners much clearer. Now fighters themselves not so much lol

[@SWEETWILD]

im sad to hear some hate that marching band playing at the contest. i find this contest fun and nice. i believe breaking the limits of many different ideas and vibes will help make up a nice skateboard community. i think its alright for anyone to skateboard or join in the communities. GREAT JOB to the marching band!!

[@ben_ivey]

I'm thinking I'm gonna steal some of these tunes

[@harrywright1322]

The band were great, but I can see why it could make it unacceptably hard to concentrate if you were dropping in next.

[@mikeharris6335]

@@ben_iveythey played all covers of huge songs lol Outcast, Fall Out Boy, System of a Down etc

[@Caal9]

As a former HS band member, and a skater for most of my life, that band had the time of their LIVES at that event. Those small events where 9's also highlight THEM is going to be something those kids come back to this video and watch YEARS later. I extend my deepest gratitude to SLS for giving local stars, skaters or not, the chance to be seen all over the world. Skating is all about being inclusive to me, and nothing made me smile more than skatepark punks and band geeks killing it in the same room!

[@TheRyanSmee]

😂😂😂 the silence after “street league paid for most of that huh?”

[@561yungin8]

I was thinking the same thing lmaooo

[@561yungin8]

@@aimlessdrive8723 it was like right in the beginning right after nyjah did his video

Once again after a Street League event, I am left with only one thought: "God I love Sean Malto" lol.

[@richd8518]

Honestly so cool to have a marching band there.. good idea SLS!

[@trauerfeierlied760]

man alex's back3 kickflip lip was so sick. i'ts probably just my ape brain that enjoys spinning while flipping a lot but that was my favourite trick by far. impossible nosegrind is close tho, sick contest

[@followsuittrading]

Same

[@koolaidsalad]

man true and if Hoban would've landed the kickflip in shuv out i would've lost my mind

[@Sebastiuon]

love the marching band!!

That high-school marching band was awesome

[@dbeast03]

​@@aimlessdrive8723bro out here gatekeeping a sport which literally prides itself on defying convention and fucking the rules. Who cares whether it's a weird fit, so is street as a whole.

[@561yungin8]

Yuto is lab made i swear hes insane

[@crownedinterror9]

I wish this had been a jam session instead. This format is so slow and the band playing between 9 club tricks is so extra.

[@s-j-e-1]

why they ripping of Gustavo Ribeiro? He was second, they ripped 0.8 points from him

[@lennyeacuvetto8146]

Nah, maybe if he brought some different tricks to the event he would score better. For the better of two yrs I could tell you what tricks he is going to do before he even does them

[@brayancarcamo9086]

​@@lennyeacuvetto8146 I can say the same about Nyjah. but the story with him is different.

[@lennyeacuvetto8146]

@@brayancarcamo9086 your not wrong there either, I just feel with nyjah his bag of tricks is just deeper. Yeah we have seen a lot of the same ones but he does mix up his lines at different events. But I do feel like nyjah needs to get a little gnarlier if he wants to compete at the level now that everyone else is competing at. It's a lot harder now to get nbds at these events

[@brayancarcamo9086]

@@lennyeacuvetto8146 It may be that he combines his lines better but they are still the same tricks that we have seen for years. There are many other skaters currently who are more interesting to watch.

[@koolaidsalad]

@@lennyeacuvetto8146 true. but is he mixing up his lines or is it just that the course changes? i'm not anybody's fanboy in these events i just love watching good skating. but when nyjah is up it does seem to be formulated to a degree

[@WhyBecause.]

Any takes on why Viennas fakie 270 fs blunt was a 9.0 while yutos nollie 270 nose was 9.3? For me its hard to say which is better, viennas execution was cleaner for sure tho.

[@zxk1ng586]

If Yuto do a Ollie, it will be on 9 club, just like that.

[@iPunchYourBigToe]

Yuto is goat others don’t match n I’m white

[@rickdawwwg]

The judges have a hard on for Yuto for sure, was plenty of tricks better than his usual nollie 270 nose slide that scored less

[@iPunchYourBigToe]

Yuto is GOAT bow down now!!

[@markmccabe5437]

Why is a fakie 180 to smith getting a 9?

[@fynnjackson2298]

Band was awesome!! Need more band!!

[@ryanrowe1975]

Great timing

[@user-qr4ve5yu4f]

I love how technical and critical the scores and judging are becoming, it really shows how high of a level all these professionals have reached that, something such as a wheel slipping to the other side of the rail, is enough for a hurricane grind to not be a 9

[@GravelordWrust]

That was awesome

[@paydn202]

UFC should take note. all the judges are former skaters

[@CruzOrnelas-wy6vk]

i was waiting for this to drop! bouta eat my food too!!

[@demacretia]

Street League has become Handrail League

[@ramseyaaronr]

I love it how Felipe Gustavo's fiancee is always so hyped and congratulates Felipe every time he does a trick! It's so sweet. Bless her heart.

[@lazyammo8206]

That was intense close finish!

[@user-qp9mb1om7k]

Muito top este SLS!!!

[@RoyaltyFreeDatabase]

malto is a great commentator

[@followsuittrading]

The top tricks IMO: kf 270 lip Impossible nosegrind Switch heel blunt

[@TheAnimeist]

Great camera angles, great commenting. And who picked the band? That person needs a raise.

[@AdamGbl95]

This is on another level, yet I was stoked to kickflip a 2 stair back in my skating days. So underrated. What Alex pulled off was nuts. Should've been a 9.7 for sure

[@menasouvlaki3595]

Decenzo caught sneaking a beer at 41.21 lol

[@jamiedeanjansen]

Rock on SLS❤🎉🎉🎉

[@dylanlovecomposer2638]

Drumline's gotta clean those diddles up! They all over the place on those cadences lol

[@8JongDe8]

Apex was a great idea! You SLS guys should add more separat parts like this set of stairs so you can bring back the line section with a curb or kicker for example and at the and a big section like back in the days!

[@k3losenpai]

40:55 lol Gustavo and Mota flipped on sync would be more cool if they did the same trick😂

Was it though? Not one stair trick done, and only one hubba trick. Kinda boring tbh

[@tailovecraft2240]

Decenzo on vacation -blank stare to the audience- lmfaooo

[@yoannp.8511]

Why flip crooked on the hubba is 9.2 and crooked nollie flip out on the hubba is 8.8 ?

[@Skateboardfreakist]

because the flip nosegrind was switch

[@stonelegend9401]

I like how the band played "Immigrant Song" By Led Zeppelin right after Decenzo's Switch Heel Bluntslide, Cause he's worn Zeppelin shirts so he's clearly a fan of the band.

1:01:33 Heal drag. Do the judges not get to see replays? Things happen fast. And having someone get a better score than deserved should be avoided.

so kickflip bs nosegrind was a 9.2 but a backside crook nollie flip out was a 8.8 ?? on the same obstacle ? i dont get it lmao
