• Family Bonding: Dad Inspires Valuable Life Lessons Through Skate Sessions With His Kids

  12-05-2023 20:24 via skateboarding.com
  
  Shaun Hover rules. This is a heartwarming display of family bonding and life lessons, and it stems from skateboarding. When Shaun brings his kids along on these sessions, he's not so much teaching them how to skate as he is instilling the mentality of a skateboarder, which is so rad.Not only do I love the fist pump at the beginning, right before he starts grinding, but the cherry on top is the excited downward fist pump his daughter does as he lands the trick—too good! I mean, just look at

• Look: Gavin Bottger Takes This Boardslide Around The Bend With An Unexpected Twist At The End

  12-05-2023 19:52 via skateboarding.com
  
  As skaters, sometimes we see a spot and just can't help ourselves. We've all been there. And on this day, Gavin Bottger was here and made it happen. Super satisfying, he takes this boardslide around the bend and then some, and even does it a few times for good measure. The unexpected twist, you ask? Well, just look how he pops out. Duh! The comments are a mixture of flame emojis, clapping hands and mentions of the spot in general, peppered lightly with things like, "That looks so fun,"

• Upside Down: Jaws Makes This Mini Loop Look Way Too Easy

  12-05-2023 19:13 via skateboarding.com
  
  Full commitment. That's it, right? A classic easier said than done notion, something tells me there's more difficulty peppered into this quick clip from Jaws than we can imagine. Someone commented, "I always wondered, these count as loops, or do they have to be like Hotwheels tracks?" And although it's a fair question, I'd say just pause the video and lock eyes with him as he's upside down, then answer that question. This is a loop. I mean...c'mon?Another person commented, "Was this your fi

• Unparalleled Style: Carlos Ribeiro Raises The Bar With Flawless Switch Back Noseblunt Down Hubba

  12-05-2023 18:44 via skateboarding.com
  
  Since when did switch backside noseblunts down proper hubbas (skatepark or not, this is insane) start looking this easy? Carlos Ribeiro literally just has it like that, and this clip is a true testament to his otherworldly talent on a skateboard. Effortless. Precise. Stomped. This isn't the first time Carlos has done this trick (on this hubba) and probably won't be the last, but does it really matter? Let's just take a moment and throw some respect on it—this is the real deal right he

• John Fitzgerald Takes Flight With This Massive Air Into Sketchy Quarter Pipe

  12-05-2023 18:24 via skateboarding.com
  
  This is so gnarly for multiple reasons. Finding the perfect amount of speed, for one—I'd bet it took a little trial and error. That little quarter pipe that he lands in is sketchy, for another. And the sheer fact that he's basically blasting as high as an average one-story house is heavy in itself. John Fitzgerald skates in a way that many others don't. Never one to follow the beaten path, his style is raw and his trick selection is respectful—everything he does is always done w
