Ben Raybourn is the newest pro on Birdhouse Skateboards. Filmed by: Jared Lucas Josh Henderson Adam Mills Edited by Thad Croskey Guest skater: Aaron "Jaws" Homoki
You don't even wanna know how hard it is to do stuff with glasses on... When the light starts to change, the difference in focus and how quickly everything else happens, omg. Skating with glasses, this is something else, nice.
You know what I love about this kid? Everything. This new posse of young'ins killing all sorts of terrain is so refreshing to see. Power old school tricks on big gnarly shit, with new school creativity and technical difficulty. By the way, the song is dope.
I'm probably about 17 years older than Ben and all I have to say is this kid has the freshest style around. I've been watching him for a few years now and he's my favorite out of all the younger pros. You're not there yet Ben but I can see you reaching legend status in a few years. Congrats on the team upgrade.
Can you imagine if Birdhouse also picked up Kevin Kowalski and Ben Hatchell? Wow, they'd be unstoppable! Jaws, Raybourn, Kowalski and Hatchell = Dream Team status.
Its crazy how me and Ben used to skate all the time at EZ-7 here in houston like not even 6 years ago and did the turkey jam competition. And i leave to the Marines and hes skating for birdhouse. LOL wow.
I had a 8.5 Kevin Staab Birdhouse a few years back. One of my favorite boards I've ever ridden. I've moved up to 8.75s since and am going to try out bacon boards. They are about 5 dolloars cheaper than other pro brands.
Either or I'm glad to see one of my fav skaters move on up (Ben Raybourn) It was cool when he was on slave but oh well ... This is what happens when great talent and potential exists in one person
It's really nice for me as an Oldschool-Skater to see young talents like him. Less Fliptricks & more Bowl-action, Ya'll know!? Grts to all true nice skaters outta there!!!. PS: "nothing against fliptricks" ;]
The irony....first sponsor Todd Falcon, now he's with Tony Hawk....glad to see he's on Indy too. But I would still like to see him riding for the Label or Anti-Hero or Creature, a team like that. Kid's been rippin' with style forever.
How is birdhouse so big i have never seen a single person riding a birdhouse and i dont even know where to buy one, i dont even think mall shops sell birdhouse
Thats because Birdhouse isn't a fucking sell out company. Tony wrote up the contract with blitz specifically citing that Birdhouse boards were only to go to core shops. Fuck you.
Couch Gravity Uhhh my homies ex-girlfriend had a tony hawk birdhouse complete, b-house trucks and everything. I think she bought it at seaworld or disneyland or something. It was better than a k-mart special but still a piece of shit. Core as fuck dude.

Story of my life, dude. When the shadows are long, the deep end of the bowl can be a real nightmare.
It's always awesome when you see a pro from your hometown shred
True...
You know what I love about this kid? Everything. This new posse of young'ins killing all sorts of terrain is so refreshing to see. Power old school tricks on big gnarly shit, with new school creativity and technical difficulty. By the way, the song is dope.
Never tired to see this vídeo and listen this music. Awesome skateboarder.
How did he miss out on SOTY again?

This cover is hilarious. It's like a drunk mush mouth trying to sing the song :D

Does someone know the spot from @1:01 to @1:03 ? Looks interesting. I love the lost places character of some of the spots in the clip
Best style in transition. Welcome the team!
Sweet man, glad to see you got outt of richmond, rosenberg texas!!! lol nice
His style is so sick. Congrats on the move.
its the glasses! great stuff. what a great song too haha
Can you imagine if Birdhouse also picked up Kevin Kowalski and Ben Hatchell? Wow, they'd be unstoppable! Jaws, Raybourn, Kowalski and Hatchell = Dream Team status.
Could see Ben on Creature, Anti-Hero, Lifeblood but Birdhouse?? Shit well you're one of my favorite skaters. you deserve that paycheck!
Dude Ben Raybourne rips so hard. Wish I could meet him
Its crazy how me and Ben used to skate all the time at EZ-7 here in houston like not even 6 years ago and did the turkey jam competition. And i leave to the Marines and hes skating for birdhouse. LOL wow.

is this the version of the song where elton is hammered cuz thats what it sounds like
Ben is a true mad lad. Goes huge.
Get Tristan Rennie on the team. These two together would be show stoppers.
1:18 I thought he was going jaws mode for a second
And the best fitting song award goes to Benny Raybourn's induction, Song being....Benny and The jets cover! BEENNNY BENNNY~
SOTY!!
Anyone know what the parks are? They look soooo sick!
Either or I'm glad to see one of my fav skaters move on up (Ben Raybourn) It was cool when he was on slave but oh well ... This is what happens when great talent and potential exists in one person
Great skateboarder
targedy is an old skate band, and i like this video now...i guess it took waatching it over and over for 3 weeks for me to accept it.
Love the soundtrack. Who is that?
he deserves to be on birdhouse
What a combo Jaws and Ben on the same team....
it's in Gold Beach, OR
i love this song and the editing is sick 2
You guys are awesome!
It's really nice for me as an Oldschool-Skater to see young talents like him.
Less Fliptricks & more Bowl-action, Ya'll know!?
Grts to all true nice skaters outta there!!!.
PS: "nothing against fliptricks" ;]
lets hope for the comeback of birdhouse, i miss jeremy klein and brian summer era...
I am convinced that this dude has some real internal conflict that drives him to shred so hard.
Awesome skater and video
Where did you find all those backyard pools?
Did anyone understand what the guy was saying in the music?
The irony....first sponsor Todd Falcon, now he's with Tony Hawk....glad to see he's on Indy too. But I would still like to see him riding for the Label or Anti-Hero or Creature, a team like that. Kid's been rippin' with style forever.
whats jaws doing there at 1:07?!?!
Looks like FS Crooks Stalefish on a bump to bar.
TracerVision no,i mean whats he doing in bens video
Draz nomad friends, and same company
I knew this kid at woodward for a couple summers way long ago so weird to see em pro now
Saw him at Vans U.S. open today, very cool guy
..where is that bowl @ about :49sec in?
what size board does he ride, does anyone know??
8.5
This video made me start skateboarding
ive always liked the birdhouse team. now its even sicker!
Sick footage!
..it's Biz Markie doin an Elton John song
The Biz Markie never sleeps
What happend to his last board sponser?
i think he suited better on slave, but to be honest as long as he keeps putting out rad footage, i'm happy!
This kid is so fucking fun to watch, then again I haven't skated much since the 80's
aye do u kno what kind of shoes he has at 1:24?
New favourite skater
sorry im mexican, what did the music was about?
is that tracey morgan singing?
assume it's Wesley Willis but anyone know the actual song?
Benny and the jets originally by elton john
covered by biz markie and the beastie boys
This is beautiful...
who did the song cover???
who knows the name of this song i really want it !?
funny right? cause he's riding a board with colored grip in the northwest tour. Also if you watch all his old videos he has colored grip in some.
You're crazy. The Body jar at 2:10 is pretty gnarly.
Siccckk!! killing it
still watching!!!
ONE OF MY FAVORITES SKATE PARTS EVER! sorry for my caps lock opinion, but I really like it :D
What is the music ?
made my night.
Best transition skater
Birdhouse is now my favourite team
Damn, Raybourn is fucking sick! I don't know why he left $lave... But I hope he gets the coverage he deserves on Birdhouse.
i think it's rad he's on birdhouse. getting the coverage and paycheck he deserves.

1:23 WKD Downtown Warsaw!
why is jaws in 1:04?
Nobody beats the Biz.
How is birdhouse so big i have never seen a single person riding a birdhouse and i dont even know where to buy one, i dont even think mall shops sell birdhouse
Tony Hawk has what we call "fuck you" money. He could keep that company alive for the next 30 yrs.
Thats because Birdhouse isn't a fucking sell out company. Tony wrote up the contract with blitz specifically citing that Birdhouse boards were only to go to core shops. Fuck you.
Couch Gravity Uhhh my homies ex-girlfriend had a tony hawk birdhouse complete, b-house trucks and everything. I think she bought it at seaworld or disneyland or something. It was better than a k-mart special but still a piece of shit. Core as fuck dude.
***** core as fuck. - that is some funny shit
***** Birdhouse board at seaworld, sounds legit.
what song iz diz
