[@JohnHill]

I just realized I’m way more offended when people talk shit about my homie, than myself so excuse me if I’m defensive about Jeff😂 he’s good at skating, and if you disregard the politics, he can do things no one else can do on a skateboard. Just keep an eye on the trickery

[@dolodagod9679]

They call him Jeff Wonsong for a reason. This dude could go to any spot and pull a NBD out. You guys who only focus on style are going to miss out when history is being made. Real skaters know Jeff is underrated af.

[@parce98]

I have seen al these tricks already

[@kevinfortsch]

@@dolodagod9679 see that kind of mindset is why no one gives a shit that Jaws kickflip indy'd massive set years after he did it. Like how you view a insta vid Maby 15 times in a row because it's a retarded trick, then you swipe to the next one not even giving a shit about what you just witnessed, instantly becoming "history" but do you care? No because five other insta accounts have clips of some kid around the world "making history"

[@mrlabonte]

I don't know if I'm the only one, but i actually think his style is sick!!! I can't believe he's still skating!! I used to watch vids of him back in 2009, and I thought he had a very insipid style, but looking at him now, I have to say from what he was, his style has improved in a way I would've never seen coming, to the point where I think it's actually really cool! Keep it up Jeff!!

[@justincoria4812]

its like a rapper with a bad voice but with insane bars. you can respect it but its hard to truly like them. good thing is he doesn't have to be stuck that way. just like he puts in the effort to learn a trick, he can learn how to correct all the flaws in his style. I wish him good luck

I love his skating personally but i feel like he hasnt gone pro yet cause he doesnt really pop his tricks

Honestly I wish I could do half the tricks he does. Why does everyone have to have the same style anyways. This is skateboarding there's no rules to this shit.

[@isidorbacklund3168]

JPfingerskater theres no rules. But if company's want to sponsor someone they do it for the money (usually). If people don't want to skate like that person or look up to hen how would they sell. His tricks are insane but people doesn't like his style

[@SlickRick4EVER]

Because in order to go pro or any sponsorship (at the least), it's quality over quantity.

[@punkgrl325]

@@SlickRick4EVER His tricks are quality though. Contrary to what others are saying, I think the real reason he has trouble with sponsors is because he mostly just does stair sets, and doesn’t really seem to do ledges or rails.

[@djsubliminalreeve]

[@neftaliherrera3160]

He is tech as fuck bro but I gotta agree, even when I first saw him when Lamont was introducing his team, he doesn't get much air. Which is fine, lots of pros don't have high ollies but these seem lower than usual and like he relies on curbs/stairs to get the air needed for the triple flips. Once again thats all fine and dandy, he's sick af but that may be what is keeping him from getting promoted to pro, he should try competing.

[@gsmilejr6862]

Bro this dude literally does the hardest tricks. I watch him just to see tricks I cant even do in video games. Even his manual tricks are next level. Sure I love watching dudes with silky smooth styles, but nobody can deny the talent this guy has. He’s not faking his style, and he’s consistently throwing out crazy tricks. That alone is gnarly as hell to me.

[@yungchessmessiah6310]

Someone pointed out that the reason he gets so much hate is they think he's showing off by doing all the insane flip tricks (triple flips, 360 hards, ect.). Actually I'm pretty sure dude just skates for fun. Also even if doesn't pop that much he always sticks the landing clean

[@Darksupersonic768]

No one has ever disliked Jeff for showing off. It’s his style and lack of effort to clean it up that people rip him about.

[@jonathanmachado8506]

I’m so late to this video lol. I used to watch this guy, he’s an amazing skater. I just feel his style, not clothing but trick wise it’s awkward. It looks like he has little to no board control which he does have bc of how consistent he is. I know dudes got connections he’s put out numerous parts out and all insane! I think it’ll just be one of those things where he just needs to be in the right place at the right time.

[@bobbyrussell830]

Jeff skating a 5 stair doesn't really allow you to see how gnarly he actually is, dude can land all these tricks down 10+ stairs, pop or no pop, hes insane.

[@Naratis]

yeah other than style, he's a really good skater. A bunch of his tricks look nice too, I just think his double flip tricks that go down the stairsets aren't that pleasing to see and that's one of his skating aspects that's easy for people to hate on.

[@anthonyskates9079]

Jeff doesnt skate like everybody else and I think that's not only okay, but awesome. He also does shit nobody does. Like who the hell manuals off of roofs. Or single, double, triple flip down big stairs in a line. You just don't see that anywhere else. There's room for all kinds of skating and I think what he's doing is very unique.

[@elgabe8444]

[@JuanManuel-qz8qi]

I don't think the problem is skills, but definitely style. I can see he doesn't have that steez you know, some dudes can't do half of the tricks he does, but can do a hella steezy tre down 10 or flip tricks with that style you know. Still he's a great skateboarder gotta admit !

I have never thought adding more spins or flips to a trick makes it that much more fun to watch. Id rather see a really smooth and steezy kick flip or Tre than a double or triple or 720 flip. But that is my opinion, not making a judgment about this guys ability or what he deserves.

[@Jaayvlog]

lil pump is a legend and made this video 200x better 😂

[@SkateNCreate90]

Just my honest opinion... Probably not. People get turned off by the same 15 tricks down gaps. He flicks and pops his tricks like his style is in its adolescents. Skateboarders have slowly turned toward style rather than difficulty just because we are numb to insane tricks and great style is harder to come across, companies know this. Not trying to hate but like...

[@mikesuarez5231]

If he did his tricks with that vinnie banh pop and steeze then he could easily be pro but i do respect the tricks he does not anybody can do those down a stair set

[@JohnHill]

well vinnie has the same struggle in the skate industry, as superficial as not liking the way that jeff does the tricks, people say the same thing about the way vinnie dresses. that's why i think the conversation should be the tricks, not everything else.

[@mikesuarez5231]

John Hill you mak a good point johnny boy i respect it

[@matthewkrellwitz8973]

John Hill Who claimed that the skate industry WASN’T superficial? Your complaints are ridiculous. Jeff has tons of tricks, yet very few people give a shit. There’s a reason. The guy skates slow, with zero pop and only pulls ugly, circus flip flops down stairs. People aren’t into supporting your friend’s skate journey on a professional level. No hate here. Get over it.

[@matthewkrellwitz8973]

[@tylergates772]

The guy really has an insane bag of tricks but I don't see him going pro. Most companies prioritize how skaters look doing tricks as opposed to the actual tricks they are doing. Style and pop are very important at the pro level. He is good though. If being pro were based on the list of tricks you can do he would be pro already.

[@Iloveghostsmwmwmwboboboworldat]

Lucas Thurston it is because the tricks are hard

[@AlexAnder-op7yc]

I think the main reason it seems like everyone has a problem with Jeff's style is because it's the single main oddity of most videos that he's in. People on the internet love to give their input no matter how many times its already been posted. So when you see all these comments saying the same thing, its just individuals stating the obvious to be included. Maybe to feel smart, maybe its like when 15 people write "first" after a video comes out. Chances are the people that have a really big problem with it are people that had a minor problem with it and then read comments which made it a bigger deal than it really is to them. A lot of people also state the obvious to get likes. I think most companies worth being sponsored by (the ones not just for money) would really like the uniqueness of his skating.

Disregard the politics and he could be pro? I thought you meant he us super right wing or something.

He effortlessly does them & people think it looks like a pressure flip, but he's actually flicking the board & actually doing 360 hardflips way before it has ever been considered a normal trick to do, it's not even a normal trick for skaters in 2019, How long will it take for professionals to get on his level??
