The Raybourn Identity

Ben Raybourn is on an absolute tear. If you think this part is gonna be leftovers from the Bones vid you are sorely mistaken. 2013 is lookin' pretty good so far.

[@anthonyzermeno8431]

one of the best skaters ever hands down

[@jojomonkeyman4935]

Yes! For so many years all the new kids have just been focusing on street skating, this guy is bringing back pool/vert.

[@Dullbedsitblogger]

Ben Raybourn Warms this old school skaters heart!Keep shredding my good man!!

[@RossSchoonover]

i absolutely love this kid. he can do airs with tony, get tech with koston, or just skate a huge rail with figgy. he can skate anything. and he has such great style to top it off.

[@tretsy]

2:45 looks like it's from a Tony Hawk game... even the way he lands back in the pool looks like one of the ridiculous roll-aways you somehow survived

[@mortlow6688]

this is skateboarding....

[@YoungJeezus1]

Really fearless at transition and knows how to land clean everytime! Thumbs up!! Good job!!

[@daskatechanneltv7]

I used to take trips to texas around early 2000's and ben had the same fire that he does now, shredding everything with amazing style, Im uber hyped hes getting the coverage he rightfully deserves. Keep killing it Ben, we are all rooting for you ! :)

[@thecitizenjoan]

The kid skates with Reckless Abandon

[@JeremyAverett]

Fuck YESS!!! Finally... more Ben R. Wait, how did I miss this from a year and a half ago????

[@danielheleske6094]

Saw you in munich yesterday. Love you :D only the best for you

[@EZls]

I was just thinking he is still a fighting competitor for SOTY.

[@powerswish]

I know. 2 great parts in 2013. Unfortunate that they came out so early that most people forgot.

[@oscarrobertson6586]

This dude just hands out parts like fucking Halloween candy, and never disappoints.

[@ohfrickitsphil]

He got everything I love about skateboarding. Style, Aggression and gnarly backside aerials!

[@patkelly74801]

This skater is one of the most diverse skaters i've seen. Absolutely shreds!

[@GoingSkateboarding]

I've been watching so much of hime lately. he's amazing

[@91750fast]

this dude fucking SHREDS

[@TheOGgohan]

so glad I started backing him a year ago when I first found him, he's insanely good.

[@relmztheproducer]

i remember the first time i saw ben, he was in a 1031 ad back in 09

[@TescoSkater]

i love him

[@oliviergaridou8525]

Padless, effortless

[@r2kpei]

Been a fan since Bleed for me. Glad to see him blowing up.

[@keyboredwarrior159]

The shit he does is like straight out of video games

[@kobeyashi808]

this is why he's one of my favorite skaters

[@pcgamingcrow]

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn that fs invert was fantastic !

[@DavidandAngeloDNA]

So good to see Ben get the coverage he deserves

[@quickscopin32]

He grew up in my town. I skated with him a couple times before he left. He is so sick!!

[@Nickn333]

have watched this so many times

[@calebvince]

i miss when ben was on slave :( but god damn was that some of the finest footy in a long time. keep it up man

[@raabidskate]

..he did just come out with 2 amazing new video parts within a month

[@nicknidiffer]

Raybourn is killing it this year.

[@revolution583]

Ben is the only skater that gives me goosebumps when i watch him skate

[@charlieshelbourne699]

Best part I've seen without a flip trick... ever

[@Jarrodpimental]

Best part of my entire month

[@EtnicsMediaSB]

Over the past year I've grown such a huge amount of appreciation for transition riders. This guy is fucking insane.

[@maroonmaddox]

one of my favorite parts

[@zeldadespair]

He is going crazy this year. Keeps going like this I can see him being a strong SOTY choice!

[@BGskater209]

SOTY no. Wait to see what the rest of the year has in store.

[@cje5055]

thank you for bringing back handplants and 540s... they were missed

[@ippeimorita]

How could most of you guys say that he's going to be SOTY for sure. It's only the beginning of the year and Plan B, Cliche, and Zero are gonna release one of the best videos too

[@natetheHAMster]

i wish more skaters could be like that....most skaters asciated with thrasher skate everything....... i like it becuase it brings more variaty in videos and keeps things interesting but i have to agree with you he's a dope skater

[@colestefaniak]

SO freaking good.

[@noahhcams]

Had a dream about this dude last night for some reason. He got SOTY in it lol. I don’t even remember the last time I thought about him. What a rad part though!

[@garciaa5107]

Just gnarly the whole time good job thrasher

[@Schnarkel]

That last trick could not have been any smoother. Holy balls.

[@amandamichalak1038]

This guys article was fun to read, interesting guy and amazing style

[@inanetrashheap]

That was amazingly awesome.

[@CreditedBag]

His skating is so refreshing.

[@db165]

so much of this caught me off guard

[@Eltoroisbig]

2013 the year of ben raybourn

[@TheAstropotatoe]

This part was so awesome I didn't even bother figuring out what shoes he was wearing.... And that never happens.

[@theRonHambone]

I know this might a bit to soon, but I bet he gunna be skater of the year if he keeps it up

[@wantmeX]

my fav skater

[@mcCheesyable]

holy fuck he ollied into the shallow end

[@snrCOB1]

Birdhouse is getting even doper. This video was sick.

[@Jeremyramone]

that ollie at :55 is right by my flat! very enormous and sketchy roll up, improvised run way is a must..

[@attime64]

I'm jealous of that username and photo, so awesome haha

[@nicolas-se8ky]

Ben dosent fear death

[@01jordy01]

Added to favorites before watching..

[@angieandthecarwrecks]

I believe both those tricks are in the Bones video that came out at the same time.

[@alfraydoughdiaz]

BEST DUDE EVER

[@OhighOSkater]

Dude is a beast!

[@mountainhigh9]

idgaf what thrasher says he already is skater of the year

[@luisg1653]

Rockin a Stone Brew hat? I like him already!

[@Balchy3]

what a legend!

[@KECKOZI]

That shit was amazing, especially 2:45 ....that was some skate 3 mechanics right there! The only thing i was slightly bummed on was the filming, could of gotten some better angles than just standing there and zooming in a pit, but otherwise...SICK

[@skins527]

Ben Raybourn: SOTY 2013!

[@deanmorfett]

gnarly,insane,crazy,good, phat,beast,terrific,epic perfection,cool, wordz cannot explain!!!!

[@elpupi4life]

Ben Raybourn, SOTY 2013.... furrrr sureeee

[@joebenike8518]

It's kinda ridiculous to speak of soty material already but damn that was amazing and this guy has been killing it.

[@teamparsley]

hopefully ben will inspire kids to skate more than ledges and stairs...he destroys everything

[@AlexWitkowski]

i love how some of these clips are filmed on an iphone

[@skwirlee13]

Mark my words, Raybourn will be SOTY next year.

[@dirtbagzrus]

Amazing!

[@bendover7550]

So crazy to see a gnarly skate part without a single flip trick. I like it though. Keep it real Ben.

[@MrShabong]

This kid can do it all.

[@TheDayDestroysTheNight]

Wow what a bad ass I love it why can't I skate with guys like these

[@Thanos916]

It's funny because I was just thinking about how nobody seems to do sad plants anymore, not even Lance. Then he pulls a sick one right around 1:43ish. Definite contender for SOTY already.

[@venanciofilhoyoga]

Insanely rad!

[@vvNKRSofficial]

DAMN THIS TALENTED HIPSTER

[@grazergamer91]

Wow thats some badass skating!!

[@Olysk8er]

Physics teachers should use this video in their lessons. He's got some Cardiel running through those veins.

[@CMGCave]

Pools are cool again! Thanks Ray!

[@Slimnz-89]

That tweaked out nosegrab transfer at 2:45 looked fucking sick!

[@etfkidable]

new favorite part from thrasher.

[@mrmcgiggles]

He's your favorite skater's favorite skater

[@DeLvoy1988]

Ithnik that I found my new favorite skater

[@JHibbeln93]

Hell yeah, this dude is where its at. Don't get me wrong, I love street skating but sometimes its so fucking boring. Big ups to Ben for bringing this shit back!

[@jboz6984]

Jesus!! Give that guy a trophie!! Badass.

[@trevorbeaniekid]

Ben Raybourn for SOTY 2013!

[@fckngriffin]

SOTY 2013! he deserves it!

[@NewWestFilmsTV]

UNO DE MIS FAVORITOS! :)

[@HOLYW4RS]

Wow he is really putting himself in the lead early for soty 2013. Sick part

[@zachweninger]

I think he is already there.

[@djcoolm]

This is literally fucking insane. The kid skates like a video game. Big ups.

[@mikekaye1989]

if phelps finally had a kid: BEN RAYBOURN. Does anyone else share this vision?

[@JosephACampbellJr]

That was freaking Incredible!!!I have watched Benny Boy for years now,and he always blows my mind... Fucking insane!!! -Music Approved

[@skaterboydanny11]

I told myself it was far too early to make SOTY predictions

[@dounuttheninja]

wowza wowza wowza let the fire works begin

[@DamCrooksta]

The Chuck Norris of Transition Skating Right Here!
