“It's so much harder to skate than it looks too. So much legendary shit's gone down there: Cardiel's 50-50, Phil Shao's tailslide to fakie, the Valdez gap, Pat Duffy's back tail, and Tim Mckinney's smith among other things. …”

It's so much harder to skate than it looks too. So much legendary shit's gone down there: Cardiel's 50-50, Phil Shao's tailslide to fakie, the Valdez gap, Pat Duffy's back tail, and Tim Mckinney's smith among other things. I know Stranger had a trick on that bench Busenitz did the alley oop to fakie manny half cab out on. Edit: It's in Stranger's "A Reason For Living" part @ 1:20 [VIDEO]
