    This is much more acrobatic and risky than just doing a fliptrick down a set.
    How could you not be impressed?
    Not only are you doing what everyone else does, throwing yourself down a set
    You're flipping too?

    I'm saying this is becoming a more common way to skate
    there's no denying that.. this is the 2nd or 3rd video I've seen of this kind.
    Even if no one else did it and it was just a few guys that like doing it this way
    Imagine the possibilities?
    This could open a whole new world of variations for people that skate this way.

    I've always enjoyed watching this kind of stuff over a few clean tricks.
    The skateboarding oddities is what it's all about for me.
    It is as hard to be creative as it was when skateboarding was starting out.
    This kind of stuff is style defining and I think it deserves more attention and respect.

    still it's just a niche thing that only a few people are gonna take seriously,i don't really see it being common
    there's always been these types of skaters,hasn't changed anything really
    guys used to jump from one board to another over barrels and shit too..when's the last time you saw that?

    Some of us aren't impressed because it's tricks that we've seen before
    at circus shows and such. It just happens to be a skateboard this time
    instead of a horse, trampoline, diving board, elephant, fire escape, etc.
    I was impressed when I saw Jackie Chan first do things like this, but that
    was a few decades ago and the shiny has worn off since then.

    This is absolutely not a progressive moment in skateboarding history.
    This is simpy a gimmick and just because a few others have done
    similar does not make it "common". The "possibilities" for it actually
    progressing the artistic style or sport of skateboarding will not come
    to fruition until it is done utilizing only the single board he started the
    trick with. For the moment he might as well be dressed in rhinestones
    and standing around white tigers in Las Vegas because that's the only
    fucking place it belongs.

    Whatever floats your boat. Creativity is the very heart of skateboarding and
    without the people like Rodney Mullen, Natas Kaupas, Ollie Gelfand, Steve
    Caballero, Tony Hawk, Daewon Song, Kilian Martin, Alexander Rademaker, etc
    we wouldn't have the progression we have seen over the past 40 years and
    ongoing. What he did does not define a skateboarding style unless your style is
    "Gymnastics" or the "Chinese Opera". It is getting a lot of attention because
    people like watching performing monkeys. This is good for skateboarding in
    the same way that jumping off a bridge is for Olympic Diving. You are welcome
    to give it all the respect you want. I think it's just another jackass sideshow.

    You can look at Simon Woodstock to know that this style of skating will always be a part of skateboarding.
