Oh you kids and your mash-ups. Check out this vid from Brett Novak, you know, Skateboarding Visual Effects Artist Extraordinaire? The skating on this is a mix of 70’s freestyle, 80’s streetstyle and well, 90’s freestyle meets modern street skating. Heck, there are even some moments to make Dan Gesmer proud. There will be haters, but you can not deny the creativity and skill. And seriously, I was completely joking about yesterday’s freestyle post. I have nothing against Rodney Mullen, at least he’s not lying about it being impossible to make good skateboards in North America. I respect his talents though. I thought it was funny that the two biggest things my son took away from the Bone Brigade Video whenshow were Lance Mountain (his favorite part is where he rides the tricycle) and the Mullen frestyling. He was pretty fascinated, and kept asking “What is he doing?” Kill your idols and watch the new blood, Kilian Martin after the jump. Doubters? How about a Primo slide off a handful of steps?
– Thanks to Eric Cherry for the tip.

I noticed him rocking a pair of black Vision Street Wear, walking (falling) into the footsteps of Primo Desiderio!

Wow! Incredible stuff.
I don’t know, but where I practice freestyle, I am in close proximity to a lot of street guys doing thier things. The civilians walking through the area always gravitate toward me, they’re enthused with what I’m doing and often video me. Meanwhile not even looking at the other skaters. Please, I’m not saying that I’m great or anything, but I’ve noticed the general public and younger skaters really get excited about freestyle tricks. I’m so happy your son has picked up on freestyling.

This is great. Creative, fun, ballsy street/freestyle. Loved it.

I would still love my son if he grew up to be a freestyle skater. Are these things nature or nurture? Probably should keep roller blading footage out of the house, just be on the safe side. Not that there is anything wrong with it.
