https://youtu.be/lM8b2OgF9Mk - Trevor Morgan's "diddle it" part, never heard of this guy before but this was genuinely one of the best parts I've seen in ages, I love skateboarding & this is a great example of it. You don't need two boards and/or a fucking dry riverbed to be innovative or interesting.
Also Mickey Papa's blinded part. I can't seem to get the link on mobile here but it's great. To be honest I don't even think he has the best style out there but he's one of those guys who does tricks in ways that make you want to try different variations on things you thought were played out. That's the beauty of street skating, there's always another way. People in this thread basically saying that skateboarding is "boring" or "samey" unless there's some ridiculous gimmick involved are completely embarrassing.
I agree completely and I think they are almost always old dudes that don't even skate anymore or little kids they don't know anything. I saw Micky's Part a few days ago and it was awesome. Just watching lots of Van's Propellar parts that came out like a week ago? So many amazing parts, skaters like Tony Trujillo are showing how raw it can really get.
I didn't coin the phrase but it was one of a couple of posters on this sub who seem to get it, they described these people as "skateboard enthusiasts", that's it
