✔️

Looks like full HD but only 30 FPS. I prefer 60 fps 720p

[@deadbabyjokes5319]

Oh so its 2008?

[@NatPeterson.89_]

looked like it was filmed today

[@avadimveachim358]

ok so i not just so old i'm super surprised to know the sk8rs but im also dumb enough to think they just placed tops in a comp. oy time for repentance...

[@BeVe-iu2mj]

This is the best quality footage of this event on KZbin, also really wish thrasher did big street jams like this more often

Would love to see it as well. There is nothing like this in skateboarding.

same wallenberg contest was insane too, they need to do more

Thanks!! Stoked I finally got off my ass to show it to ya

[@sf1of1]

Wow bs flip is SCARY down a set like that. Ryan deserves all the praises.

[@JoeyDigital]

Think he did it super quick

[@ColonelFlickage]

Honestly I think fs flip is more scary because you can see everything coming right at you, bs flip you block it out and huck. That’s how it is for me personally but I know everyone’s different, I’d imagine even skating this thing is scary

[@nickschiller1080]

After this is when he tried to BS flip El Toro and almost had it and told Phelps he did it when he actually did not. He tried came up short but he thought 100% he was going back to get it and ride away which didn't happen and that's why so many people hated Ryan for that.

[@johnmeehan7884]

​@@ColonelFlickageThat's a real booty boiii excuse. There's a reason amateurs do front 1s and big homies do back 1s. Cause frontside is weak.

[@laucops198]

It's crazy how the level of skateboarding went through the roof from 2000 to 2010. Most of those tricks could have been enders in a skate video in the early 2000s.

[@JoeyDigital]

For real!

[@harorider96]

Sheckler and prod partied all night before this. Sheckler was hungover af and still killed it..😂

Hangovers can sometimes help I guess

[@diecarly]

this surpasses 2023 content by far. If this was dropped today it would reach a mf large serious audience immediately tuned in on those hilariously-aired board-flips over an SF el toro

[@JoeyDigital]

Thx! I salute you! 🫡

[@quickman1047]

Underrated highlight was Leticia trying this multiple times at when she was 15 at the time! So gnarly. Also always have to point how how insanely launched that nollie 180 was by Grant.

[@JoeyDigital]

She prob could of done it. Glad she walked away that day.

[@RJ-fi9zo]

Back when she was still trying to progress

[@johnmeehan7884]

Underrated? Bastien kickflip frontboarded that shit at like 15/16 like 6+ years before this. Just admit you ain't about equality.

Very solid.

[@commentator2.0]

Like Sheckler said, it’s cool to be on the street. Need more contests like this

[@JoeyDigital]

Nothing like the streets

[@nickschiller1080]

Check out Thrasher bust or bail, they dud it at some of the most iconic skate spots like this spot, Clipper, Wallenberg, etc. They are all sick! First one was at Wallenberg in 2004, not much went down but the second one in 2009, shit did! Lindsey Robertson BS heel, Chris Cole BS 360 and switch fs flip, lizard king bs Ollie north, Jordan hoffart varial heel, Anderew Potter hardflip, some chick's trying to Ollie it! Scope it out!

[@JoeyDigital]

Wallenberg was wild! @@nickschiller1080

[@nickschiller1080]

@JoeyDigital Hell yea both contests were brother! Cole starting it off with that BS 360 set it off! Everyone was slaying, Kevin Romar trying Nollie BS 360 was insane and he almost had it!

[@johnmeehan7884]

​@@nickschiller1080No they weren't, most bitched out and didn't get their tricks. Complete opposite of slaying. Pay attention, goofy.

[@buehl444]

you can hear how the applause gets less when ryan is skating, watching this after his documentary came out really hits

[@JoeyDigital]

The hate was real at this time. But can’t deny how gnarly he was and still is.

[@jbean9021]

Nah. The stoke was there. He’s undeniable.

[@christophersantiago6011]

Shecks is f****** legend. What he did for skateboarding was important. And what hes still doing to this day is GD epic.

Sheckler landed such insane tricks down that 16. How tf can someone do that. I can't even imagine jumping down them with no board. Crazy talent.

[@JoeyDigital]

He was locked in

[@nickschiller1080]

It was technically a 17 because they added it at the top but either way this contest is legendary!

[@LolyourfunnyxP]

Lowkey think Andrew Reynolds’s skated it better , and that back 3 was def the best trick here

[@JoeyDigital]

After editing this I agree with you. The back 3 was unreal. If Moose had a couple more tricks he could of took it.

[@recession81]

Idk man that backside flip is insane you see way more back threes down big gaps like this than back threes, bs flip is straight up a harder trick down big shit not to mention taking that impact landing switch and rolling away

[@jordstev8779]

Sheckler hands down skated it the best had the most tricks which all were difficult and I think they were all first try

[@greens294]

Sheckler had more of a session on it tho. Busted out more tricks that had never been done on a 16 set at the time

[@josiahamaze]

This is sick bro!!! It's like the contest just happened!

[@JoeyDigital]

Yesss! Sorry I took my time posting

[@azzamatic4190]

You could really feel the hate for Shecks back then especially with his lip slide but he really won them over by destroying the set that day. As much of a he was viewed as this sell out you couldn't deny his steez and how gnarly he skated

I remember Sheckler saying in an interview that a really, really big name went up to him and said he was ruining the essence of skateboarding. Right after that he started saying, derogatorily, how all the kids want to look like Reynolds. So Im assuming that big name was probably AR. So that moment Sheckler landed that perfect 360 flip ight in front of Andrew just sends chills down my spine.
