i feel like this part is gonna be really important for him. the past few months you hear loads of people like "he ain't going as hard like he used to, he's just kicking back partying with all his streetleague money" type of shit. this part is gonna determine, at least to those people, whether they're right and he's in bad form, or still that dude [VIDEO]

Bullies always think they're the ones being bullied. But anyways, you're wrong. The only requirement for a blunt slide to be a blunt slide is that your tail locks in on the other side of the edge. There is no requirement to be "leaning". Much like how the difference between a lipslide and a boardslide is just which truck is going over the obstacle. A tail slide is you sliding your tail on an edge without either truck going over. A blunt is a tail slide with BOTH trucks going over. That's it. It's very simple. So you're telling me that this isn't a blunt? He definitely doesn't ride the rail with his wheels. In fact his wheels don't even touch on the one he lands. Just the baseplate of the truck and his tail. [VIDEO] Guess we better call nyjah and tell him he can't actually blunt.
