The best thing about Louie is he makes you want to go skate. He makes you want to go outside and be creative on the board and that is what makes him the best. Tyshawn is sick, but we watch his part thinking "damn he is so so good, I'd never be able to pop that high." With Louie you sit there and think "not only is this guy amazingly talented, but he is so creative and now I want to go to my local spot and try something funky." Nyjah, let's not go there.
