Classics: Jerry Hsu's "Bag of Suck" Part

Nick Garcia calls it "one of the greatest video parts of all time" and we have to agree. Two songs, a relentless barrage of hammers, and an ender for the ages.

That sucks. Just 10 years ago i was running from cops skating everywhere. Weed was illegal looking for spots to smoke. Breaking into abandoned warehouses. Spray cans. Drugs. It was fun while it lasted. I wouldnt trade it for anything. It was a struggle. I had holes in my shoes and couldnt afford any more but it was super fun.

[@debaser9169]

Is you’ve been to that 3 up 3 down it’s insane. I’ve kickfliped up 3 stairs and could barely Ollie up it and to have enough time to do another trick off the other end is hard. He was hauling fuckkng ass. Just an insane clip

this is literally the best balance and domination of switch stance ive ever seen. I dont think its even switch for Jerry its like hes literally a goofy and regular skater

[@kevincollins8620]

He's better in this than Skate 2. Seriously. I'm no slouch on the sticks.

[@Perryprime1999]

I think its just a switch in his brain whenever he wants to change stance. I kinda turned off my brain while watching this cuz of how natural he looks while regular and switch.

[@MrMustard12345]

Coming back to this (again). One of the most underrated tricks in this part is the fakie tailslide at 7:10 . And he pops it back out to switch going so fast down a big rail. Ridiculous. Needed a second angle!

[@andrewrodriguez9590]

This is my first time watching this part, and wow. My mind is beyond blown. This part made me feel so alive. Jerry Hsu is a fucking legend. I kinda want to cry. This is art

[@christophersantiago6011]

7:27 One of the sickest switch ollies of all time. But rewatching this part, he arguably has some more of the best executed tricks of all time. Notably, his monster switch heels going at mach speed.

[@joshuasmith6346]

I was in awe. He was hollin so much ass too

I'm not a boarder, grew up around yall in the 90's. Early 90's. The good old days even before this will never be forgotton. Vans punk a rama in the shoe boxes, Santa cruz skateboarding is not a crime, people actually liking world industries. Tiny wheels, NO NIKE! Yall were against establishment. The only finger decks were clear keychains. Axion shoes. Muska beats. Top Skater in arcades... Then street skater by ea... Then tony hawk. Then Trasher... With FTC in it, 'Preme... Converse trying to make skate shoes. Now preppy Olympics and such. Everyone owns a board. Skate parks even in hick towns. The world changed fast. For blading? Still the last bastion. Still underground and still has a scene with players from the 90's. Everyone wears thrasher now, and Vans. And Nike pretty much owns skateboarding. Punk is dead.

2 clips in this video stand out to me and one of them starts at 5:44 and the other starts at 6:42. Both are done so good that I couldn’t imagine being that smooth and controlled. I can’t tell you how many times I watched the heel flip at 6:42. Who goes that fucking fast and does a sw heel over a gap while going down hill??? Jerry Hsu does. Great part.
