that seizure slam in the beginning was gnar

Surprised that David gravette didn't get the scorpion section all to himself

Bailing back onto the board when skating transition is definitely one my most hated type of slams.

My ankles are so thrashed that I long ago gave up street skating, but all these other Letters vids make me want to try bowl riding. This one brought me to my senses.

When you lie there thinking you're not too hurt then your board comes back down at you like a heat seeking missile.

I always watch this video after a big one to bring me back to reality. Got sneak attack into a wall smashed my head and shoulder. Little tear in AC. Thank you for this video. Thankful I can still walk. Which means I can still skate once this subsides a little. Hail skaten

I lived to sk8 but I wish I would have taken it easier looking back...skated smart no hard...i would have been a better skater. 10 years of slams. Bad knees compressed vertebrae arthritis in the neck/back and entire joints when it rains...Can't run after my own kids...haha.Still ride though like it was nothing. Just more cautious at 40+.

"you can't skate what you haven't ate (slam)"

best show on the tube thanks jeff

The sound of a head to concrete is so gnar. I’m getting a helmet and kneepads. Mostly because I am going to take my 15 years of experience to the bowl seriously this year and get more familiar with vert and pool coping. Look up Aztec Hash on KZread that’s my home park

damn i remember when i supermaned to the bottom of a bowl after i hit a rock (pebble) about to go for the roll in

It's good for you 🙏🕊️

I had a top to bottom slam today. I do these fakie hang up (fakie lips without sliding.) To tuck knee pull ins. They feel good and are usually pretty easy. I was going for one on a six foot quarter pipe and next thing I knew I was falling to the flat. Hit my knee, hit my elbow, almost hit my head, and I rolled my foot really bad. Hanging up sucks!

I skated 13 years and sometimes I think about getting back to it. But then I see this shit and know for certain that at 41 years old there's no way my body could take the slams anymore. Not to mention the 22 years and counting of ice hockey i've put my body through.

Injuries Which I sustained skateboarding, snowboarding, playing rugby in college, running ultra marathons in my late 30's, and working in construction for 16 years slow me down if I push too hard. but I dont let it stop me from loving every blessed minute I get to shred the concrete. i suggest you cast aside your fear of limitation buy a new set up and go rip!

seriously bro. I started again and 25 and will never stop. you're not living if you're worried about crap like that if you truly love skating just do it. if it is a passion any injuries or even death are worth it. cliche but you really do only live once.

Delicious, makes me want to skate.

Lance Mountain in Public Domain (I think), the original nutbuster handrail slam!

Thought it was fitting to watch this today as i sit here waiting for a call from surgery to put my wrist back together with a steel plate.

heath kirchart and arto take some pretty gnarly slams

Hsu is perfect for this.. He takes the hardest slams out of anyone.

That was my favorite letter

The noseblunt slide on the huge quarter ive been there its whitefish montana i live 11 miles away from it theres a bowl where instead of vert it dips in like a foot

Sometimes the gnar giveth, sometimes the gnar taketh away.

slams is a key topic for this show! but, you should do one about dealing with injury specifically... the struggle between mind and body. like some guys even cant skate anymore, ya know...

Just started learning in my 30's took a bad slam the first day never experience that much pain in my life(that's how vanilla it's been). Month later my back doesn't hurt I plan to get back on. It's definitely harder when you're older.

Try being 58....😃

lets go skate!

I have had some really bad slams where I couldn't go to work the next day but fortunately never had surgery or been fucked for weeks. A couple where I nearly passed out. For me, I didn't really get into the session until I had blood on my shirt. All part of game. The rush. Adrenaline. GIANT INFECTED SPLINTERS from the vert ramp. Then we all bucked up to reply the ramp. And start over.

this video is inspiring

haha yeah, I rolled my ankle practicing front 180s (on flatground). had to be off my board for 2 weeks, sooo annoying

As long as we're talking memorable slams, let us all remember the beauty that was John Fitzgerald's OIAM hill bomb to brick wall.

there will always be a special place in my heart for skateboarding but im so glad i dont do it anymore

That song that starts up at 00:43 sounds like this band I used to listen to called UsaWaste -Fuckin' Waysted

Fuuu.... watching this makes me feel cold and tingly lol

RIP!!!!!

Broke the ball joint off my left arm on a rock fakie, 18 inch launch ramp. Had to be taken away in an ambulance. I think that fits into your category.

They should've put in Heath's epic slam from the beginning of his This is Skateboarding part. The one where he tried to 50 the hubba but stuck right away and fell the rest of the way to the ground, and bounced.
