Some young rippers show future promise. But when Herm arrived he was as crazy good as almost any pro. Jamie Tancowny introduces a classic part from Emerica's 2003 vid.

@johndoeiii610310 ай бұрын
Honestly it comes down to a few things for me personally...the speed is a big one, these dudes were just ripping. Certain skaters these days I don't know what it is but it feels like they are coming up to handrails super slow especially. They do these noseslides down rails where they lock in and kinda let the gravity push them down the rail/ledge as opposed to the speed. I always liked seeing dudes busting a kickflip down a set going way to fast, or seeing dudes hitting rails going crazy fast. Ragdoll and Trainwreck were crazy with that style

My girlfriend in 8th grade got me this for my 14th birthday. Like others have said, todays skating just isn't the same even though todays tricks are bigger. There's just something about the spirit of that time and of the people involved that makes the sport what it is, it's not all about the tricks. It's about how it makes you feel. When you start evaluating according to tricks alone, it starts to feel no different than baseball, football, etc.

This was such an influential clip in a lot of ways. At this time in skating most people were still doing illusion type hardflips but that hardflip was one of the first in a skate video hat was really flicked. Shortly after This Is Skateboarding you saw a lot of "flipped" hardflips.

I think many skaters from that era and before suffered from the "not being a playable character in Tony Hawk Pro Skater. A lot of younger kids get most of their skater knowledge from those games initially.
