The frontside 360 over the handrails is the GREATEST thing of seen in my 44 years!!!👌👌👌

[@dukedub]

So sick, big floaty 3

[@alexanderbertallo1995]

I honestly got no idea how good he really is.. half of his part looks just undoable... I would need several lifes to make this part happen... IMO one of the top 3 parts of 2018... SOTY: MASON SILVA or EVAN SMITH...

[@TheRickyp83]

little late bro

[@zblackburnnn352]

My favorite part of the year

[@EvokeTennis]

Can't believe he did the fs bigspin 3 times

[@andibritz]

I’ve been to those stairs it’s so fucking huge, I don’t even get how you could Ollie those

[@SlowBurnHotWheels]

That takes some resolve

[@kevinharing766]

After he'd gotten broke tf off like 5 times. The time before he landed it, it sounded like he said "I'm done "... he's a fuckin machine

[@macnguyen2431]

this is more WAR than it is PEACE....

[@yuppy5956]

He is ready for the Navy after this one...

He's a real SOTY 2018(9)

[@inafaniel]

he deserved SOTY honestly

Dunno tyshawn’s blessed is fuckin mental, mason is a beast tho

2020

[@aliciaann978]

hey he got 2020 soty jake would of been proud

[@justinwil4365]

Being a pro skater seems awesome until you realize they gotta eat mega shit on an almost daily basis to get top notch clips.

[@CH-dh6ff]

Man.. it must be the old age creeping into my bones, but I’m honestly starting to get worried about how high and how fast these new cats are going. I don’t wanna see what I’m afraid we will eventually see.

[@balthorpayne]

And when you realize the pay most of them get isn't that great. Not to mention lack of health insurance. I am perfectly content to make my good money and skate my little gaps, curbs, and manny pads.

[@justinwil4365]

balthorpayne how much do they get anyway, like 5k a month per big sponsor?

[@balthorpayne]

@@justinwil4365 Depends on how popular they are. Trust me when I say a ton are fucking broke. I'm in Chicago and the scene is big, and I know a few pros, ams, and people on the come up. They are not getting paid much unless their name is Shane, Luan, or Paul. Most of your favorite pros/ams are working regular jobs. I had that reality check years ago when I saw Clint Walker and some dudes parked outside of the skatepark in a ratty van. That life is not glamorous.

[@chaseofearth9280]

Who dislikes this kind of video? Who even watches these, other than skateboarding enthusiasts? And why would someone who enjoys skateboarding dislike this? Maybe they're mad they can't do this. If they could, they would respect how gnarly this video is.

[@alexanderbertallo1995]

Crash after crash after crash... "yeah I'm good"... yes you are...

[@ImARagingAlcoholic]

Element is the Golden State Warriors of skateboarding. Haven't seen such a stacked squad since the early 2000's Flip team.

So much heart and hard work in one video

[@tony2usk8tzz]

Man, thank you! This was flashbacks to being hyped off seing Reese Forbes , Bill Pepper, Jeremey Wray, Donny Barley....damn Mason's a ripper outta hell!

[@nikokaapa]

He fought himself through that kickflip liplide like a warrior. Amazing!

[@MathyMathy]

I live near this rail (in France) and I saw it in live. It was really impressive. Each try was so painfull...

[@nikokaapa]

@@MathyMathy Cool man! Id' like to witness such skateboard-stoicism too.

[@christianmarsden139]

More like war than peace but what a truly glorious battle. Inspirational detirmination and a whole lot of totally sick tricks. Rad, rad, rad.

[@penguinbadgerturkeybear4343]

When he landed that at 13:30 I shouted yes so loudly that I made my cat jump and he fell off the armrest! Haha! Great skater by the way!

[@oniongummy8969]

I'm ONLY at 4:27 and my mouth hangin' open the whole time....WTF? Next year SOTY? Was down for EVAn...

[@brothaclutch984]

He’s one of the few skaters that doesn’t have many switch tricks in his repertoire and it truly doesn’t matter because he shreds without them. He gets buck 24/7, every trick could be someone’s ender
