[@sageyowns26]

fr they’re too nonchalant, i don’t mind ads ik they need revenue, but half the video is just filler

[@dubnicko5747]

dude this video is probably only like 30 minutes long when you cut all that

[@321skaater]

They are inspired by ufc, ans ads and show its how sls stay alive kiddo

[@DirtyDirkDiggler]

You don’t like Backside’s? Damn, not even a Backside 360?

Joslin robbed again. Who would've thought. Both his first 2 tricks were 9s and you can't convince me otherwise

You're right, but Antonio can tunnel himself out and escape like El Chapo.

[@SAsh-zg6ln]

Which doofus created the landing area? Way too short, bud. Needed to be extended easily 10 feet vertically

[@ShouldHaveBeen]

And the run up.

[@flednanders4601]

And the curl on the rail

[@freshwaterfishingwithadrian]

You have to think about the building dimensions, seating for audience and standard regulations and then replicating spot best to the builders abilities

[@freshwaterfishingwithadrian]

@@flednanders4601if you listened to the intro it’s replicating a popular spot. You have to have a curved rail

Love that they have Sean malto as a commentator . He knows how to skate so he knows what to look for 🤟🏻

[@explicittruth1471]

Would love to see Chris win

His time will come this year. He's been so close too many times

Was suppose to go to this but was too busy working. Looked awesome tho. Love when comps come to Vegas 🙌

It was 100 bucks in the course sucked I'm glad I didn't go

[@PlanetKaosIRL]

@@Bro-ky4hn good call, appreciate that. Hopefully the next one is better.

[@Bro-ky4hn]

@@PlanetKaosIRL check out the one last year they had every time someone got a nine the foothill band would play

[@PlanetKaosIRL]

@@Bro-ky4hn hell yeah 👍. Awesome. I’ll watch it. Next one is August 31. Might try to go

[@drmayne2071]

That Ollie north at the end should have been a bit higher based on creativity, the sheer risk of trying it in a contest, how unique it is, I don't know how long it would take any of those skaters to land that just during a session as good in a contest it's was just so surprising. Glad he got in the 9 ub though.

[@MeLast-rk5vp]

Jordan should get a Jordan deal when he grinds up defines air

Strange to see yuto have such a bad set at the SLS. Nyjah was on fire again...

[@jonathanpham7397]

garbo judging. 8.8 for sw tre but 8.6 for nollie heel crook???

[@Diego-ny7gz]

sjns oh hs on s on s ok

[@nickadkins7765]

SLS judging is always inconsistent....especially when they judge Ginwoo! He ALWAYS gets flat out robbed on his best trick/line runs I swear

[@antonmyhrvold]

Cab flip back lip! Well deserved win JAH ❤❤❤

[@koolaidsalad]

gotta say i liked these judges more than some of the recent ones. couple results seemed a little low but i would rather see that than everybody having 9s every time they land overall very consistent and i personally appreciate that

[@coincollectorchase]

Some good skating, I don't watch football or soccer, I watch Skateboarding. When Chris turned around, I just call that a Late Revert and I think that's a trick because it's a clear clean bold move on the board and I can't do that yet switch but working on switch stuff more often

[@adrain182]

literally just watched this on bumass rumble yesterday took you long enough

[@messythemanofficial5956]

Nike has done so much for skateboarding in the last decade ..Im a huge fan . Growing up I hated brands like Nike .. They weren't part of the culture I don't think until Bam Margera put them on or they put him on what have you . I still love brands like Van's and traditional skate shoes . But one can't deny how much attention Nike has brought to the sport . I feel like Nike is a great deal todo with Skateboarding being in the Olympics now ...Even if they're weren't interested in skateboarding in it's Hay day , I feel they have more then made up for that by popularizing the sport and creating SLS league and making some what now I feel are some of the best skate shoes ...I am back and fourth between Etnies and Nike for my favorite skate shoe

FYI A CAB FLIP BACK LIP ISN'T ACTUALLY ALL THAT ISH FR NYJAH GOT A 9.4 so it's saaaaad tbh.

Well deserved Nyjah! 🙏

[@awbarqs5935]

where is the marching band?

[@Mrjamel-uk2ev]

Nice

[@sotografik]

Love SLS, but Apex is sorta of a miss. I think we would all rather see ledge runs stage. Apex is already sort of done during the best trick part of the regular SLS competition and the lack of crowd is just ok. something to think about.

[@humanbean3]

i thought nyjah was gonna get robbed with that pretty low score for the nollie heel crook. glad to see he took it

[@sk8mysterion]

I have been watching every SLS event ever since it started in 2010. This stressfull 1h commercial is such a weird format..like those stressful in between contests a few years ago with the random judging .... I don't know dude 😂.

[@turbo8481]

Hey pros. Here's a little gap with a weird little rail. Do your thing! 🤦‍♂️ this is just weird to me.

[@Watson-te3ik]

My guess is that it’s supposed to be the downtown la library gap but it’s a tiny version of it … didn’t someone Ollie up it ?

[@kevstaa7121]

That rail looks butter

They need to hold it in a bigger arena

[@manymystics]

[@jacobduplessis6970]

Nyjah and yutos first tricks need to be scored way higher, tre 50 on a rail is easily a 9

i wonder how much more views SLS would get if half these videos weren’t filler nonsense….you guys can’t spend an hour editing the stream for youtube???

[@sageyowns26]

still love SLS and the videos i just know skateboarding could reach a bigger audience than it is, same with BMX and a lot of other extreme sports

[@jerms777]

Posted this so late we're already at the olympics. Atleast post when its fresh

[@benjaminterrell2221]

can some one explain why chris joslin got 8.3 on his trick down the big set and Deiki got 6 something. Does't that seem like some problematic judging?

[@Cloudy222]

Deiki landed it and rolled away still in switch, Joslin reverted. So they scored him .3 higher than Joslin. Not problematic, actually the leased problematic scoring decision in sls history tbh.

[@treydavis1465]

Did anyone else see Antonio hum perfectly with the song at 31:22

Yuto, Nyjah, Jordan, and Joslin in the same group? Jesus! The parks are getting ridiculous. Almost zero room to land anything and roll-away.

They should’ve made it just like the original. Rail is a cool addition.

[@PlanetKaosIRL]

Faking tre scoring higher than Yuto’s Tre 50/50??? Nah that’s cap. Great contest but judging was a little wonky. Enjoyed tho 🎉

[@JSlice-gk5br]

agreed

[@robertbarnhart7791]

Fakie tre with that much run up is way harder. Also Jordan could tre flip 50 that with his eys closed

[@tylerriggs95]

Fakie tre is wayyy harder and everyone knows it

[@trentonziegler]

Fakie tre with minimal runup going that fast and clearing a gap that size is ridiculously difficult and takes so much precision. It's definitely a more difficult trick

[@bleedszn]

the judges have been so wack past few years

[@extrawhiff8372]

This is a repost ,no?

[@alexseitsinger]

Why doesn't some proactive genius offer all these skateboarding competitions some kind of image recog to distinguish and display the tricks each skater performs?
