I don't really go looking for skate videos anymore. I think I should do it more often though.
I found two videos that I enjoyed on youtube so thought Id share them.

This guy threw an electronic song in the mix for some freestyle and it actually went together pretty well.

This dude just has some interesting ideas, watched a couple of his now, mostly freestyle.

The guy that was drinking in almost every other clip was so cringe-worthy, every time he landed something and did the cross-arms thumbs up, I wanted to punch him. The freestyle skating in general was alright, nothing too exciting or over-the-top. Liked the double foot plant on the picnic table.

Marius was much more entertaining in every aspect, nothing douchy about this guy. Tons of creativity all around, that primo full kick-around was awesome.

Haha..
I didn't expect you guys to love his stuff.
The drinking and driving was stupid.
Didn't think you'd say he was a douche though.
I found the ideas inspiring, more so than the guy with more "skills"
That's just what I thought about it and why I shared it anyway.
Sorry if it bummed you out.

I just dont get catching a primo flip in primo... I can spin a double varial out of primo 8/10 but have never been able to trap the board side up...

...atleast not on purpose, and without busting my ass the second my weight comes down...

Well, I've not tried it much myself, think that's why I enjoy watching it.
This is how I've broken it down in my head..
The last movement of the board should be a half spin or flip.
From what I've seen about getting into primo intentionally, it's all about pressure on the balls of your feet.
I would say picture the rail stand side of the board as grip tape, in this case you need to land your center of balance between the wheels and the board's side.
This is in theory from what I've tried and observed. Someone would beat me in primo skate haha..
Damn that should be a thing.. Putting that out into the universe.
