No worries Dez..

Its all fairly nuts... I personally like from 2:14 to 3:00 that front side flip over the gap-hip is mental. and the grab-less backside flip over the whole lot, and he squeezes a sweet misty in... Helicopter nose stall made me wince. He is a hero.

I sent this in to midweek minimovies earlier (as well as sharing it with as many people as I could think of).

I'm not a skateboarder, but even I could see the sheer skill on show.

The last bit made my hands and feet go very funny though - you'd have to trust your grip wouldn't you!?
(they've gone again just thinking about it)

The switch nosegrind over the rail/hip thing at 5mins ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

Even though he was probably the first really ambi skater on vert, that really takes the biscuit

Too amazing to comprehend! ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

A few impressive things in a 3 min edit is all well and good but 8 minutes solid of banger after banger is just nuts!

Love this. Bob's a legend. Amazing to think what a household name/brand Tony Hawk is when he's not even close to this level.

Heli flying was the most impressive bit, I'd say!

Wow.

Very, very happy to pay over the odds for plastic sunnies so that Mr B. can do this for a living. Art. Boundaries.

Well done everyone involved.

Amazing to think what a household name/brand Tony Hawk is when he's not even close to this level.

That's a bit unfair, its called progression. Tony Alva, Lance Mountain, Tony Hawk my fave Kevin Staab they have all progressed the sport, no one had conceived of the mega ramp back then. Its only a really successful vid game that made Hawk a household name.

Danny Way was the first mega ramp guru with out him and the X games marketing we wouldn't have Bob blowing minds.

schrickvr6 - yes, I've been following Dennis McCoy too. Ever since that channel 4 programme (High 5) about him and Condor in the early 90s.

Edit: Good old YouTube
