So those two gys sitting in the lawn chairs to the left at the bottom of the ramp. I could only guess what they are betting about.

I dunno man, I've been skating for 11 years now and I've watched tons of videos and had many subscriptions to the mags... and I'd say skateboarding has progressed tremendously since I started.

Nowadays people will be kickflipping into nearly every trick down handrails, tech flip tricks down huge stairs. Bachinsky kickflipping down 20 stairs. People skating all kinds of new obstacles and creating new tricks. And Chris Cole, man that guy can do pretty much any trick... his kickflip bs noseblunt down that rail in the Zero video blew my mind.

Well if you were sponsered by Lakai, Im sure you've seen Fully Flared - How could you honestly say there has been no progression since 2002 after watching that video?

Also, why dont you skate or ride for Lakai anymore?

Ive been skating almost my whole life and to this day whenever I see a new mag or video (well most new videos) I am always blown away by all the stuff going down.

And yeah, Danny's slams were insane last night. It's crazy that he kept going after all that. I think Bob's run was just so technical, and stylie that he had to be on top.

PS: I wanna snowboard with you'z!


I've only been a few times, but I'm pretty good for a n00b! I surfed, skim boarded, and skate boarded for a long long time, so it came naturally to me. Love snow boarding in powder... more fun than anything else... just sucks when your friends dont do it.
