Here we go then. So this watch radio issue number 48 and this week, one of our favourites gate is going at the moment. We've got John Shanahan's cargo sneaker DC shoes part. We're pretty excited for this.
Let's play with each of you. Welcome back to watch radio. This is number 48. Long side of me today, we've got Mr Buckville, Will Hickey, over from Canada.
How's it going guys? Good mate, you all good over there in Canada? Pretty chilly over there, right? I take it.
To be fair, we're kind of where I'm at in the mountains. We get a little bit of a warm breeze occasionally come over, so it's been kind of floating a little bit above and a little bit below freezing at the moment. So, not as bad as last time I've played, actually. Yeah, so we're going to break down.
I mean, basically, I had to, obviously, will jump in, we can get organised and get him on the show. But for John Shanahan's part, Will, you had to be in it, didn't you? I had to be out of it. I'd have been upset.
Yeah. Yeah, so what we're going to do with this breakdown, we're talking before we start recording, we're basically saying that there's too much of this video that we really enjoy. It's a formula part. You know, bang on kind of what sort of time you want.
So we're just going to go through every single clip in the video, just chat some shit about it. Already, before I press play and start looking at some of these clips and everything, it's nice how John Shanahan's name comes up first, mate. It's his name first and then it's DC shoes part afterwards. I do appreciate that.
What do you think about that? I'd like to see that, you know, a bit of respect, just a bit of respect and a bit of some people don't know. And they might need to know, you know, obviously it says John Shanahan's cargo is a sneaker part, but it's nice, what you saying? Yeah, it's got, I always think it's got to say the skates name first before anything.
Because you know, John Shanahan could be doing this shit in any shoes. He looks good in DC, he's don't get wrong. He's a, he makes me want to go by a pair of DC's mate. He could be doing this shit in anyone's shoes, really.
It's quite, yeah, if any of you guys do watch the other John Shanahan, you'll realise that he can pretty much skate any shoe that he's got on his feet by the looks of it. It's very talented. Yeah, yeah, big shoe don't, don't change his accuracy. It's all good, you know, he can have a big bulky shoe.
And his, you know, his switch tricks or his knowledge tricks or anything like that, where you, I'll be sometimes a week before isn't as clean. It is, he's still precise in those big, big boots he's wearing. Might not have the board feel, but he's definitely got the board under control. Well, who cares about board feel mate, just getting like him?
Exactly. When I said it might play towards advantage, so I might have a bit more, bit more stomp in his boots. Yeah, yeah, straight away, the tune for this. I was so happy when I was just starting hearing it.
It was like, yeah, we've got a nice little bit of hip-hop in here. You know, it's just fitting the bill, nothing too crazy. But just, you know, nice little ambience in the background, just, just ticking over and just complimenting his skating and the fact that, you know, the fucking VX footage, you know, it's working with it straight away. Yeah, loved it.
Fits in great, every tiny land, you know, they've added it into the beat for the music, perfect. Yeah, and it's just got that 90's feel, you know, early 2000's feel that obviously me and you absolutely adore. And he does probably more than us, you know what I mean? Oh, they're fully living it.
Yeah, so let's get to this first line then, mate. So straight away, we had a nice little cutaway, which I do like classic DC, you know, those cutaways in this video would have fit into the original DC video. You know, the DC video with the Stevie Williams cutaways, a very similar vibe to that shit, really similar vibe. So this is why I really enjoyed this part.
It just fits in. It's nice to have his own thing and put his shit out there. We know it's him, the spotlight's on him, then I have to share it with fucking 20 other people. But it would have, it would have fit in, you know, DC have got this identity back.
Yeah, they've been really bringing it back. And especially with sticking to the, a lot of their roots, obviously they've got all new status and old status as well. But yeah, they're doing it really, really well recently, especially with all the sticking to the roots, bringing it back new style and old style. Yeah, it's really nice at the moment.
Really, just how just concerned. Shanahan, he is Riggs, right? Oh, yeah, 100%. He's Riggs.
Yeah, so he starts off, I've got to just pause the 18 seconds in there just to get us going. And obviously he's not, he's not, he's not enough. And he has crouched like a motherfucker. And he is ready to pop over.
He's a nice big slab of a bench. Proper knowledge of me. You know, that's right on my street. That's one of my, that's one of my, that's one of my favorite tricks to do.
Because you just get a nice amount of height on that shit. And he's just showing that he's got a nice amount of height on his knowledge of. That's it. Perfect line started there.
Yeah. And also that obstacle, it was the right trick for it, you know, because he's going down this other side of this pathway and just flops over the right side. Just a pleasing approach to it. Yeah, that's it.
It actually flows really well, draws you into the line and then tunnels down where he's going next. Yeah, three power pushes, mate. Three power pushes. Perfect amount of, if anyone's, you know, wants to put a line together and you need to get some pushes going, those pushes are out of do it.
There was no half pushing there, no little jab push or anything like that. Not second guessing this push. And he knew that those three pushes were going to get him to that nose grind. You know what I mean?
Yeah, some real momentum pushes. You know, I mean, when someone's meeting a business and just getting the pushes done with them. That's no small, I mean, that's a double bench up there, mate. If they stack those, they stack those benches up.
I'll assume they've stacked them because, I mean, what the fuck would two benches be sitting on top of each other? But how the fuck did they move them? Yeah, they must have had a good little crew there. Maybe a forklift truck or something.
You never know. But that nose grime is beautiful, mate. You like a nose grime. That was pretty much textbook.
Yeah, very nice, nice and clean. And I think as well, a lot of these shots, as we're saying, just a nice background view as well. Really picture perfect. Makes that nose grime looking better, in my opinion.
Yeah, exactly. It's the right spot for it, isn't it? You know, again, with the DC legacy, you've got the likes of K-list and all those boys that, you know, or anyone from the love park for the Delphiira, you know, the gold near that time, like some like Kerry gets or anything. They would have done the same trick there.
That's a nose grime spot right there. You know what I mean? That is pure nose grime spot because you can fuck yourself up on that. That's proven accuracy off of a little kicker.
Mate, if you miss that, you're going to have a bad time, right? Yeah, even if you don't quite get the locking on the nose or you overshoot it a bit and plant your front foot down, it's quite hard to recover quickly, because it's a large ledge, so you're probably just taking that straight down or going over the top like you said. Yeah, let's move on to the second clip, right? So, nice classic venture trucks, t-shirt like that, really like that.
But in any part, mate, if you've got access to a dumpster and you can skate a dumpster, you've got to skate a dumpster. And he's given a second clip, he's given us a dumpster. Please, it's me. Yeah, and you can tell by looking at that, I've got it paused right here on the 29 at the end of the end of the back, Smith.
It's probably not that easy to skate over. I'm sure it's probably been banged and dinged to fuck. You know, it's probably grimey, grimey dumpster, lovely. Yeah, yeah, perfect.
I've got it on 29 as well, you know, it gives you a shot down the street and it just gives you that proper East Coast vibe. Yeah, like I said, that dumpster's going to be dinged up like a motherfucker and that ain't going to be a clean grind. And it's Smith, because a Smith is sitting, mate, that's on those Smith experts, not very good at Smith at all. But I know for a fact, the reason why I know I'm not going to get at them, the weight in the back foot is that you're heavy in there.
You're heavy in the back foot. And to get that to grind is difficult. A proper Smith, I'm talking about like a 5-0-e put it wide because, you know, and dip it a little bit. A lot of people try and get away with those, but that was a proper back Smith.
Yeah, full, full damage. Yeah, proper dipage, yeah. So, yeah, let's keep this going so straight away. Give us classic nose blunt, mate.
That nose blunt, beautiful, to fakie. I always like a nose blunt to fakie on that sort of set, would you reckon? Yeah, I like it as well, because it's a long one. So, even see just near the end of it, he's leaning back into it, which would almost take you back to regs.
But he's been like, no, taking this over. Yeah, so what do you mean? Yeah, he's kind of, yeah, he's putting accelerator back on to getting back to fakie, you know? He's holding on, obviously not struggling, holding on.
That's a long slide, he's powering through it. Cool. Yeah, I mean, I'll know nose blunt, or even mate. There's a lot of tricks that Jon Chan has done, I'm never going to be doing.
But nose blunt, getting that long, right? That's your in. That's full commitment. You've got to be going fast, and you've got to know.
They're not just putting a 50 on and just moving. You've got to be ready to slip out in any direction on a nose butt, I'm sure. Yeah, that's it. Not much room for a mistake there, or...
I guess it's probably a bit of a layer of wax on it too, so... Oh, yeah, that looked like a little bit of a damp spot, you know? That's a bit of a grimy spot, mate. You probably don't even need a little wax on that one.
That's a bit of a dank, you know, you could probably eat a little piss. Maybe a bit of shit over the years, being laid down on those steps. Black grim. Yeah, it's a fucking crusty spot.
Yeah, next. Nice little cutaway. He puts him just with things filling in the background. And now he's on...
I recognise this spot. I don't know it, obviously. I don't know the name of it either. It's filling, right?
I'm sure it's filling. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, so he's switched on straight into... I mean, we talk a nose blunt, right?
So he's give us a nose blunt. This is a nice bit of editing props to the edit for this. Maybe Shanna Hammers in there as well, saying I want these back to back. Because you'd probably say the same thing to me, mate.
You know what I mean? You might be certain things you say, no, I want... They'd be nice if we could put that back back. And he's straight in with a switched nose blunt.
But pulling it round to switch. He's staying there, mate. He ain't taking his way out. Because I'm sure these way out was back to regs and that one.
Yeah, that's it. No, very... lovely, lovely switched nose blunt. Land straight in with the switch push.
Yeah, yeah, with the switch push, mate. That's good eyes. Keeping it switched on that one. Yeah, exactly.
Keeping it switched. Maybe you just thought that's how it works. Didn't need that little mongoe in there. Might look a bit weird.
Yeah, maybe it... Who knows? Might just look natural on that one. But I could push out of it.
Obviously, he was holding enough speed to do that fakie flip. So... Yes, exactly. Fakie flip.
I couldn't really work out how many stairs he's going down on that fakie flip. It was a decent... Nothing crazy, but I guarantee you go down that spot as long as you fakie want it to be. Yeah, you're going to need a decent up.
Yeah, fakie flips. They don't... Oh, I can get a fakie flip up. I'll get a decent size fakie flip.
But getting them along is a different story. That's it, yeah. You know, Matt Thompson, you're going to miss the fakie. I mean, pros don't.
But the Matt Thompson, if I'm trying to do it down something small, you know, even like a little threes there or something. I'm missing that fakie. I'm whiffing off the end of the top step. Yeah.
Yeah. I'm not getting the timing right. Yeah, fakie alleys, fakie flips, especially when you're trying to go over for a bit of a distance or even off something, timing, timing. Yeah, what's your tip for that?
You've got to go earlier than you think. It's nice if there's some sort of visual marker to be like that is where I should be popping. But you probably want to pop a good foot quicker than you think, if you know what I mean about foot. But by the time you actually put the pop down and pop it up, it probably halves that distance, you know what I mean?
It just keeps you from whiffing it. It happens. I definitely whip them up. Yeah.
Fucking happens more than I want them to be fair. Yeah. Right. Let's next line.
Next line. Line will. So, you know, giving us a blunt. He likes his blunt at the moment.
So a little blunt female at the moment. So just jab a little blunt on there. I mean, he could have put a little back tail. He could have put a little back five on there.
But he's just saying, I can get a little blunt in there and pop it out nicely. So then a quick foot, another trick. Yeah, that was what was that? Nolly, Nolly knows grind.
Big spin or something. That was a fission movement right there. That is, I'd get my leg to be all over the place doing that shit. Yeah, that's a quick bit of shuffling.
And then is it the same spot at nighttime? Looks same spot at nighttime. Looks like he's gone back there later on. Back to the flaky, yeah.
Thank you. That's clean as fuck. But those ledges look so smooth on top. You'd like them.
You know, it'd be nice. You would enjoy skating there, mate. It's a manual man. Masters of manual.
But you would enjoy that surely. That'd be a great, good fun. Yeah, you'd probably be there from from day like to nighttime, you know, he might have been, that might be a good spot there. And then the, what's he got here?
Is that like a half cab? What's he going for? Well, kind of like a half cab nose bun, right? It's strange, you know, it's kind of full cabin with a with a nose bun in the middle.
It's a little, it's a little stop going going all the way around. But he just, he's just planted his nose down there. Just a good measure. It's a nice little slide.
Not, you know, it's not just, just stalling on that shit. It is smooth, you know, smooth. He does it. He's doing it nice.
And I'm just going to throw this in there. A lot of, I always like to read the comments about Shanahan's other videos and videos up to now. A lot of people see him as a mini-calus or like a modern day-calus. And that is a calus trick right there.
Big or small edge. He's a full cab area nose bled and guy in Nali as well. But that's a, even just an old school, an old school DJ K-trick, an old school, this era trick. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. His, his trick selection is on point. Obviously, you know, proper homage to fucking Josh, you know, one of the fucking greatest streets skates of all time.
But I don't, I mean a lot of people do kind of say is that, you know, I see him always as the next coming. You know what I mean? He's a reincarnated. And I probably, I would probably say, you know, this is fucking, you know, people might give me some shit for this.
But I'd probably say Shanahan's style is better than Calus. Calus has got some good signature maneuvers that, you know, his trays, you know, he's got his own flavour to it. And there's obviously a couple of, you know, like a switch here or is, you know, switch over here or he's got, you know, he's got loads in his bag. But I'd say Shanahan overall is probably a better skater and probably got slightly cleaner style than Josh Calus has.
I would agree with you there. It's been a, obviously it's been a really long time since Calus was in his golden era. So he isn't going to be as good as he was. But obviously back then, people in him were still raw and developing where Shanahan's going to have, he's going to be able to make that his own style as well when doing newer tricks, smoother tricks.
And, you know, his, as you said, his trick selection is fucking perfect. But he adds in other, other tricks that people like Calus wouldn't add in necessarily. Well, the next clip mate, the next clip, he's, I can't call this a bump the bar because it just isn't a bump the bar. It's a tough thing.
Yeah, it is, it's this, this ramp. So he's basically pushing up, he's basically pushing up the dancing video park, go fucking watch it. Or, you know, do it now, we'll just get it, get it, get it, get it, it's up now. But he's pushing up, it's kind of like a big, you know, disabled ramp or ramp that probably turns out to be, you know, possibly like eight or ten foot from, from bottom to top.
And he's just pushing up the ramp, pushing, pushing, pushing up the ramp. And yeah, like he's saying, well, hoops. And meat, yolly. And, and the size of the rail is clearing over the top is, is, is, it's got to be close to forefoot.
It's got to be close to that. Yeah. That he's going over. And then the drop on the other side.
Yeah. I mean, it's a decent drop mate. And he clears up by country mile. They do get a nice little flash in there.
So there's, there's got to be a photo of that somewhere knocking about, which I'm, I love it before. Yeah. I've got it paused in the 57 mark as he just about to while it. But you can see the, it's probably like five inches over, like a general door frame height.
So it's got to be like, what, eight foot? And he's, he's getting just a bit of the net. It's at least an eight foot drop with whatever is cleared on top of that. Yeah.
It's, it's a big, it's a big boy. It's big boy. That's, that's Kerry gets shit mate. That's, that is, that is 100%.
Cause Kerry gets like to put it only in his part, you know, every part, you know, he ever put down. There was always a, you know, a fast, big, dangerous fucking ollie. Yeah. Shanahan backing up with that.
And that is just, yeah. I mean, who thinks, who thinks that you can push up that ramp? Who thinks he can do that? Before he's even like halfway up, you thinking he's not going fast enough for that.
We give it a couple more power pushes and blast straight over it. Yeah. He's not fucking about that one. That must have been, you know, possibly, possibly first try or maybe he's just, you know, through an overland on his feet or something for the first one.
Cause again, these are sort of spots that you can get hurt on badly. Yeah. Or you've only got a couple of attempts. I'm sure, like you said, it's a big ollie just to get over the bar.
You might only have a couple of attempts in you before you're out of half. Especially pushing up to that. Yeah, true. Yeah.
You're right. Yeah. You're doing that 10 times, I, you know, that's fucking out. My legs are fucked now.
I can't even got my pop anymore. Yep. Yeah. So yeah, nice little cutaways again.
Shit that we just fall bang in line. He could have slipped into that Stevie Williams part in a DC video, mate. And then would he be noticed? You know, it would just slipped and slipped in, slipped out and it would have been fine.
And now what's he got for us? He's got the backside, backside, nollie over some big old fucking wall. Yep. Yeah.
Well, it's almost like, I think it's almost like a little bump to buy a kind of thing again. Oh, no. No. Well, it could have a little incline, mate.
It's hard to see from the angle. It could have a little bit of a little bump on it because he gets some fucking height on that. And that, again, not a backside, nollies. Like my mate, Andy Stewart, who lives in Australia, he used to be, yeah, you still have a real mean one.
You can get it big. But not everyone's got a big one. I always buy and get in the front side, nollie, like Miller. So you catch it right.
That will suck up. That comes up real nice for you. Yep. But the backside, it's hard because you're kind of trusting your feet, right?
You're trusting that you're going to, you can't see. He's never going to see himself going over that. He's just trusting that that pops happening and he's fucking pulling it round. Yep, full blind side on that one.
No, it's definitely big and I've got it paused. I think it's like 104. You can see it's got a little bit of a drop afterwards. Definitely a blind landing until it's pulled round.
Nice, awesome. Not my weight. Yeah, and then he's got the ghetto kicker set up mate. Two boards, he's got the film aboard.
Someone else's board, he's obviously not skating with him. Setting up on this ramp, putting it under a kind of like a manual cover or a sort of corrugate line above a basement. That sort of deal. Gap out to a tiny tiny...
Yeah, FIBO on a kind of electrical box on the walls. Not like a classic big green electrical box, just something on the side. Maybe it looks like a fire hydrant or something, but yeah, real accurate on the FIBO there. Really, really nice.
Yeah, I made a note of that when I really liked that. A little joke or whatever. What I'd love to see on that would be someone to do the front tail to fakey on that. Again, it's kind of like you're not working on that.
So to get your tail on that mate and to commit that you're going to go all the way round with it is probably the safer option. Yeah, that's it. You wouldn't want to lock up on that. And then mate, next clip, right?
Next clip. Bit of tranny in there. What's that like that? Bit of tranny in there.
Looks like probably a ditch somewhere that's been over DIY or something. But it's nice. It looks fun. It looks really witty.
It looks probably quite hard to skate, I imagine. Yeah, it looks very wippy. I don't think I'd be doing much more than getting a rock and roll. I think I'd be right there with you on that one.
Maybe just a pivot mate. A couple of nice little cows. What was that? A blunt pick or a blunter crook popping?
Nice. Yeah, blunt to nose pick popping. Real nice. And gets out and gets out on your side.
It doesn't kind of like, I'm no transitions skater. So I can never finish a fucking line of any description or run at skate park on some tranny shit. You just can't do it. But you just seem to get himself out of there.
You're on a half pipe. If you're ever skating like a mini ramp or something, you're trying to put something together. At the end, you kind of just run out of it. I do it anyway.
I just run out of it. I never think about getting out with a fucking half pipe, which is probably looks better. You can just get out. Just get out before you run out of steam rather than just being at the bottom.
And then you put a push in there or roll off the side mate. That's me. That's me as a transition skater. Next clip.
Real again. He's picking good spots here, making some ghetto fucking ramps. This looks like some metal fucking table top of some description with a load of bricks underneath it randomly stacked together. I wouldn't say it's the best architectural celebration underneath that ramp.
But yeah, pings are perfect. I can see you doing this, Will. This is up there. Remind me of you.
Just banging that crook in there. What else are you putting on that trick on that spot mate? It's a crook. You don't need to put anything else on that.
The only way you'd get a different trick on it is being a goofy skater. Yes. Yeah, exactly. If someone's a goofy, I'd maybe allow a front crook.
Yeah. Maybe a frontside no slide if it's Stevie Williams. That's it. Yeah.
Really enjoyed that. It's some weird strange architecture. Obviously someone's just spotted that and going, we must be able to build some fucking shit up to this thing. We've got to be able to do it.
That's one 16. It's got some weird like T-shaped sort of thing. Yeah. Strange bit of a strange little thing, but yeah, it's a perfect crook on it.
Yeah, I don't know. Obviously I've been following along with John and all of his crew and stuff. I think it was in his last thrasher. He had an interview or past two thrashers or something.
He was talking about DIY and what we've seen, they fix a lot of spots, not necessarily fix a lot of spots, but he sees a spot, he gets the idea for it, and they make it scalable for that trick off of the session. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Exactly. So next clip, we've got a line now. Back onto the blunt front blunt to Fakie. And then Fakie heel.
Nogewind, I suppose, right? Fakie heel, nogewind. Yeah. The next clip, mate.
The classic Manuva, Kelly Hart Manuva, this is, you know, you see him do it quite a lot with the shove crook into a bank, just like shove crook on a wall. And then yeah, it drops it down to Fakie, into some crusty old bank next to it. Lovely. Like a, it's almost like an overshot, because he's in line with the ledge as well.
Yeah. So like, keeps it flowing. Yeah. I think, yeah, that's kind of how you have to do it that way, don't you?
I don't think it looks right if you do it more parallel. If you're parallel with it, it might look a little bit kind of, I don't know, it probably wouldn't have the flow, it probably wouldn't actually grind very well. You'd probably just stop on it if you're, so you kind of, yeah, yeah, it's pretty much bang in line with it, isn't it? He's kind of like at the top on that little ledge, and he's pretty, yeah, pretty much bang in line with the grind.
So he's kind of shove in over the ledge. Real nice. The sound of that grind is beautiful as well, with a proper, however, every ledge, basically. How it should sound.
And then we've got another, got a line here, mate, I think it starts off with a big old heels. Big old heels, that was, and we got backed up on that. Was that a shove into a nose, was that just a nose? Yeah, that was a little illusion in there.
It's hard to kind of, yeah, they're sneaking in, but you know something's there. You know something's there. You know it's not just nose, but into it, but kind of, it's so quick that you kind of, and it's so perfect. I've just got it paused on 133, where he's just kind of released the shove.
And it's just going, it's just hitting that angle that he wants it to. It's literally, it's already at the nose, blunt angle. Yeah. On the ground, pretty much, you know, it's just, just rising.
And he just plants it. And then back to, back to Red's on there. Same spot. There's a half cab, five-oh spins all the way back round.
So he's in, he's in Feiki. And then we'll see what he's in there. Now he's in switch. Yeah.
Yeah. Switch, nose grind, Feiki flip out. You ever tried any of that, mate? Have you ever tried switching nose grind and Feiki flip out?
No. I've tried some Feiki flips out of Feiki five-ohs, but not, not went in some switch. Maybe, maybe in the future. Yeah.
I can see, yeah. I think you might have that in your arsenal, mate. Because surely, surely a switch, nose grind. You know, you got a nice, you got a mean nose grind, but you know, whenever.
Good switch, Ollie. Can't, you know, it can't be too far off your radar. I said, I do like to practice a little, I'd like to try a lot of Feiki nannies and Feiki five-oh grinds. So just got to pop into a switch.
So next clip after that is the switch 180. Pretty much on top of like a, pretty much on top of a hubber. You can't really skate the hub because there's rails kind of darting up next to it. So you can't actually skate the hubber.
So what can you do? Ride onto it. Big old hubber, pretty janky spot. I don't think I'd want to be right here.
Yeah, it'd almost be a good one, just to drop it in, I guess. Nice little switch 180. We've been having some nice switch ones recently. Yeah, a lot of nice switch ones recently.
Yeah, they seem to pop up a lot of these days. So we've got the front tail pop up the switch. And it's nice switch stance here. A couple of pushes.
Feiki shove, Feiki mani. Feiki tray. That is a heavy line. That is a heavy line.
Who is putting that together? Yeah, awesome line. I've definitely made a note of that one. And the five-oh into switch crooks can solid, nice and long, pop out, finish it up nice.
Nice Feiki, Feiki mani. Feiki tray. Nice one. He's got a little bit of Kailist ease on.
If you check him out when he lands, when he lands a Feiki tray mate, he's got that little drop-down hand. He's doing that little drop-down. If you pause on the 206, you'll see what I mean. Yeah, 206, he's just, you know what I'm talking about?
He's just, you're kind of just, it's like you're bending your hand over a little bit, but just the old-school veterans of the game, they would always, a little touches like that go a long way for me. He could do a good form. Yes, that's it. His arms taking that impact away almost, just keeping it nice and furry.
Yeah, exactly. Yeah, exactly. And then what we got, yeah, then back. So we've seen a nice textur- So you're typing Feiki tray.
By Mr John Shanahan. And then a heavy, heavy Feiki tray down, probably like an eight or something, over a handrail onto some fucking horrible tiled ground. It doesn't look smooth tiled. That looks pretty.
Yeah, that's a bit of a, a lot of little drain on the other side of the round of the round of the round. And it clears it, clears by a country mile, obviously he's just put some power in that Feiki tray. Yeah, not a nice landing. No, I'm sure this spot reminds me, this spot reminds me of a spot that Mark Appleyard hit in, probably four, one is number 44, I think it is, mate.
It was one of the, I think it's wheels of four, something like that. One of those sort of, yeah, I'm sure it was when he was, still like an element. Yeah. And wasn't pro yet for Flip.
I don't think he actually turned, I think he turned pro for Flip. I don't think he, so I think he was element and then jumps over the Flip, can pro, obviously now he's back on element. But I think he kicked this back in the day. It was very similar.
That green light on the steps just reminds me of that spot. And I wouldn't be, you know, wouldn't put a pass John Shanahan to do that sort of stuff. Because I guarantee he looks for those spots that have been in old videos. You know, you can just tell that he's a sort of boy that does that.
Definitely this spot is definitely very familiar. I just can't put it in, I think, on it. Yeah, Mark Appleyard's interesting. Up next.
So we've got the backside Nollie to, well, what's that Feiki, Feiki Manny, and then whoops it all the way around again. Yeah, spins it round. Spins it round again, then he's into his, not, mate, the size of this Nollie heel flip. It quite possibly could be the biggest Nollie heel flip.
I forgot it was at 2.15, right? He's not even in the shot. It's bored belly in the shot. He is not in that shot.
He is, you can see a remnants of a knee and a foot. But he is gone. That Nollie heel flip. You know, I like an Nollie heel flip, mate.
I can't send him. You've got a decent Nollie heel flip. You know, you can get a little decent amount of height on him. Yeah, definitely fully stacked that up.
That is, yeah, how's he doing it? How's he doing it? How's he just, what's she was aiming at? So no, these ones are actually the, like, the DC Doublits.
And it is a Kayless and a Legacy Andalinks, all combined, I think. I can see that. I can see that. Yeah, yeah, I can see all of that.
Yeah, that's it. Heavy shoe. See, this is why Will's got to be on these DC, these DC, these DC, uh, podcasters. I knew you were going to know something about that shoe, mate.
It was just, it was there. You were going to know. They are great. Another fact.
Not so great about them though. It's probably the most second expensive pair of links in that design you could get. They're about, I think, 600, 700 American dollars? No.
Okay. Now DC, if you want to send a little package over, yeah, that, that Nolly Hill was insane. Haven't even, we haven't finished the line yet. We still go.
No, we still go. And then it was a Hills Crook. Yes. What a trick.
Yeah, not, you don't always do that. A Hill Flip Crook, so it's great when you see him. I can't think of anyone. It's on my head that, you know, does them a lot.
I think Mark Baines, a blueprint rider, uh, fabric skateboards. He used to do like the, um, half cap hill crook. I'm sure, half cap hill, no, no slide quite a lot. Yep.
Um, I'm not sure if he got the crook, but that's the only person I can think of that kind of flex a hill flip him. Maybe Chris Cole, Chris, I can see Chris Cole. You know, you like to Hill Flip, so you might, I can see him sitting at him orange with no slide rather than the crook. I can think of one right now in English, State border, Leo Smith.
You remember Leo Smith? Yeah. Yeah. Yep.
Yep. Some back in the day. Yeah. Proper MK, MK heritage right there.
Yep. Yeah, not a popular one. Hard trick. Well, for me, I mean, you know, I can, I got a kick flip no slide.
I could probably, if I really, really tried and get, you know, gave up my, on a real perfect ledge and actually, you know, just honed in all day. I might be able to get a kick flip crook. Might be able to do it. Might come out of the fake.
You just make it easier, mate. You know what I mean? Just get it in and get it out. Might do that.
But the idea of a hill flip into a crook, and you know, I don't mind a hill flip, but you're kind of, you're, you're kind of, you're, you're banging your, your heel out. You know, is the heel is there. You're kicking forward. Yeah.
You're kicking that right out there. And the idea of, you know, especially when you're doing a kick flip into a, you know, a flip trick into a slide or it's precision. And if you put your foot back onto that board and you're gambling on that crook being there and there, that's an ankle breaker. That is an ankle breaker all day long.
You know, that's always goes from my head when I do the kick flip, no slide. Yep. I've got the actually down there where it's not too dangerous for me. But it can happen, you know, it always happens to stop your day or whatever.
And you just, the ball don't therefore you land on top of the ledge, it's icy, you know, you've stuck some wax on it so you can have it looks like that. Or you miss the ledge yourself and you put your ankle on the actual angle of the ledge. And again, you can have a bad time with that. So, yeah, I've got a lot of time for a heel flip crook because that's scared of shit at me trying that.
Yeah, definitely. Like you said, it's a dangerous trick, especially when you put in a kick flip into a decent sized ledge or even a hill flip, especially, it's a powerful trick. So you put in all your energy into it and totally miss or fall and that have an unexpected bail. It's going to be an ankle breaker on the hand.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It is a powerful trick. You know what I mean? It's kind of full.
You can't just slip one out there. You can't just, you know, put a nice little, it's obviously you can have an accurate heel flip. But you're still having to generate that power with the accuracy. You know, kick it's a bit different.
I think you can adjust accordingly to what sort of kick you want to do or where you're doing it. You can put your foot in many different spots. You can't, you know, feel like you have the same margin of area there. You know, you can't, you know, there's a little bit of leniency.
You can, you know, if you want to get a big one, there's a smaller one, a sharper one. There is, you can move it, but for me, it's definitely not there. You know, in terms of that new one, so the hill flip. Yeah.
Where is Mr. Shanahan? Obviously, he's got the new ones. I'm sure you could probably relate to that a bit more of your hill flip games pretty well rounded.
Yeah, it's definitely like you said, no, still, still a trick. You're never going to be able to just throw that out there. So you're either in it or you might as well not be trying it. Yeah.
Right. Next clip, mate, we're jumping up some stairs, I think. Can we? We're a little, a little three stairs.
Yeah. But fakey, fakey, very real kick flip. Yeah. Quite nice.
That's some fangent. Nice little. And then, oh, that's a nice line, right? That's a nice line with the fakey, fakey, very heels.
Very nice. Complete. Puts the board back where it needs to be. I like that.
Yeah. Yeah. That's, yeah. You can, it's any better, mate.
But yeah, he put that board back where it needs to be. You know, that's just, it's just nice. He's made a spot that isn't possibly, you know, the most hard call spot or something. It's really, really heavy duty.
I mean, you know, don't get me wrong, the stairs that he jumps down on the other end of it do look pretty long. It probably looks like a long six or something like that, mate. Yeah, definitely a long step. But it's, yeah.
Again, talking about fakey, fakey tricks down long things. It's fucking difficult. Especially fakey, fakey, very heel. Yeah.
Yeah. That's, yeah. That's just, you know, nice, real nice, yeah, real nice line touch of symmetry in there. Just a bit of OCD.
Just, you know, I mean, just keeping things where they should be. That's it. I like to call it like a complete set of, completes the line or the trick, you know, when you, when you have that. Yeah.
Yeah. Exactly. It's like, you know, if, you know, for me a favorite, if you see someone do a front side flip on flat, you know, going up to a stair set, big old stair set, someone rhymes Smith or something, you know, you'll do a, do a front side flip on flat, which again, you don't see too many people put in lines. And then you know, especially rhymes, myth, you know, he's got the switch, rhymes, I've been, it's like, so to do is that a flat and then throw down a huge switch, run side flip down a, you know, something like a 12 or something like that or bigger.
It's just, yeah, it's just completing the game. It's just putting it back where it needs to be. Yeah, exactly that. Next, next clip, mate, got a little kind of a bank to some crusty fucking wall around the 233 mark and just, just jumps on that fuck on his nose, right?
And just gets off of it, just gets on there and gets off of that. Yeah, that's pretty sketchy. Looks like a, looks like a fun spot. Yeah, but to do that in and out, in and out, for sure.
Yeah, because you know, you need to look out on that. It's still a long way to go down. Yes. That's a long way for you to fall.
