![]() ![]() Very few skateboarders of today would allow some of the footage he puts out. He doesn’t strike me as a “do it again” type of guy either, once he puts four down he keeps it moving. Watching his footage is like watching NASCAR: you’re literally just waiting for him to die. Pat Burke may be in the running for the most reckless skateboarder of all time. Tricks like this remind me that these guys are real professionals and not just grown men playing with kid’s toys. Despite how hard it’s raining (I think cats and dogs is appropriate here) MJ frontside lipslides up only to noseblunt down a janky a-frame picnic table setup. Rain starts coming down hard, MJ shrugs, and just keeps going for it. There’s so little that can be said about this clip because I feel like between Ty and MJ, they captured the magic of what happened that day perfectly. Rain or shine, Creager just wants to skateboard…absolute legend. But as if that wasn’t awesome enough, every clip after the switch hardflip is captured while it’s raining. Crazy to think that a switch hardflip is your go-to move when it’s raining and you’re skating a stairset (begging the question as to why you’re skating a stairset in the rain in the first place). After a clean backside flip down a hefty double set, he follows it up with a switch hardflip down the same set in hurricane like conditions. But the star of the promo is without a doubt Blind’s poster boy Ronnie Creager. Take for example the little Blind promo featuring some heavy hitters from the 1997 squad such as Gideon Choi, Lavar McBride, and Robbie Mckinley (crazy right?) amongst others. Not only did I think it was an actual competition and believed that it was an overwhelming victory for Rodney Mullen (dude, he beat skateboarding) but I absolutely loved all the commercials that played between parts. Daewon Song Round 1 (1997)īoy, do I miss these videos. Whatever year it might be, the Terminator takes care of business.Ģ. ![]() Like what could have been going through his mind? California weather is so good, he could have just waited the next day when I’m sure it would have been sunny. ![]() Backside lipslide down a 10 stair handrail in the pouring rain. Beyond the triple kink and the back 180 down that big double set there is a clip in here that is honestly downright bizarre. Huge handrails, giant stair sets, all while going as fast as those tiny wheels would allow. Pat Duffy’s part in Plan B’s first video, Questionable, left most of skateboarding confused and scared. ![]()
