  01-06-2023 17:46 via skateboarding.com
  
  Boom! Kyle Walker really smacks us in the face with this one. A quick, no push three piece that has us feeling as stoked as we are envious. Seems to be the case with this guy a lot. From start to finish, this line is basically served to us on a silver platter. Appetites cured. Trick after trick...this is the good stuff. View this post on InstagramA post shared by Kyle Walker (@kwalks)

• Hammer Time: Skater Fearlessly Steps To This Terrifying Rollercoaster Hubba In SF

  01-06-2023 17:28 via skateboarding.com
  
  Joaquin Palacio is wild for this one! SF spots can be pretty hairy—from the heaviest hill bombs to the toughest approaches to basically every spot, skating those streets is not for the faint of heart. The fact that the majority of hubbas and rails (really, most spots. Ha!) that people skate in SF are nestled in the tight confines of residents homes, that only adds to the simple fact that nothing comes easy up there, but the rewards are a bit tastier in the end. This is definitely

• Video: Braden Hoban Casually Crushing These Epic Spots In Japan

  01-06-2023 16:52 via skateboarding.com
  
  Braden Hoban seems to be getting better by the second. Give him any terrain, it doesn't matter—he will produce, he will provide. From fast, technical ledge lines to kickflip back Smith grinds on handrails and anything in between, this ATV ripper knows no boundaries when it comes to his spot selection and deep bag of tricks. Firstly, this ledge spot looks so good. Listen to the sound his board makes on that first five-0. He's so locked in that his back wheel is skidding while he g

• Full Throttle: AJ Nelson Battles And Conquers This Insane Line That's Worth A Watch

  01-06-2023 16:40 via skateboarding.com
  
  Full speed ahead! AJ Nelson is a straight up charger. Never holding back, always giving it his all, this line is a testament to the energy and fearlessness that he possesses on the board. Seems like every trick he does is done with the full amount of power—tweaked a little more, grinds the distance, slides like he's mad at the coping. It's all there. That invert is insane, and not just because he's doing it shirtless on that tall, daunting wall of unforgiving cement. I mean...tha
