The battle makes seeing the landing THAT much sweeter. My nephew is a skater so I get to see, and film, the struggle. Its awesome when they finally land it. You can see the relief in the shoulders when they roll away from "it". ✌🏾
I've been a skater for almost 20 years and it never stops surprising me the lengths pros will go to to get a trick on a certain spot... To the point where they are screwing plywood to the roof of a business they're likely not allowed to be on just so they can blast themselves into Highway traffic blind haha... Insane. Respect.
This is probably an unpopular opinion in the skate community but not respecting other people's property to some extent is a problem. I'd say drilling into a roof is a problem unless you have permission. Otherwise why should anyone respect your property? What if people just started breaking people's skateboards? I'm sure at some point yall would even say a line needs to be drawn on respecting others property. Most likely when it starts to affect yours...
@@thejarjosh to a certain degree I agree with you, I think there are a lot of instances where skaters take it to far then act like the property owner is the jerk for getting mad, that isn't right. If you're going to take it to a point where you're damaging property you don't own you should be willing to accept the consequences or don't do it.
I've driven by this spot a dozen times, let me be the 80th person to say it, but this thing is fuckin steep and rough. Major respect for taming this beast Ronnie 🤙
While I love the MY WAR series there's a part of me that doesn't want my favourite skaters to have to get so chewed up and bodied on spots. It's amazing and gnarly, but I empathise very heavily. The sprains, micro-fractures, road rash and the heads BOUNCING off concrete... knowing it's a combination of adrenaline and shock that numbs these warriors out just enough to see them on to glory. It's an absolutely beautiful example of the triumph of human spirit... but I want you all to stay beautiful and reach a happy healthy old age!
9:56 is one of the most amazing feelings in the world. When you feel the wheels beneath your feet roll away and just well up with emotions after giving it your all is one of the greatest feelings on the planet. Almost brought tears to my eyes when his homies rushed him and gave him props and said “it’s okay to cry”. 💕
When he says it's a good day to die man, and runs up and you see how many steps he has to take to get to the top, blew my mind. Skaters are a different breed and I love it!!!
everyone always demands more my wars. thrasher knows how good the series is... the reason the videos are so compelling is because these are personal stories that take months, sometimes years out of the skaters’ lives. imagine if we got a new installment every week? the quality would drop drastically and then we’d complain about that. just be happy you get any at all.
I'm so glad another My War has been made. My favorite one is Sammy Baca's. Definitely one of the best series on Thrasher. They gotta make more of these.
Teared up on this one man. Im 48. I hurt everyday of my life. Got injuries pro athletes dont make it through and I wouldnt change a thing. Skateboarding is the greatest feeling in the world!!!
@@blur_710 I’m 25 and I can already tell I’m gonna be in a lot of pain .. some my say for no reason but skating has brought me the best memories so far 🤷♂️ hope I have that same mind set when the pain really kicks in
I'm 10 years behind you and still skating. Slamming is not the same anymore 😂. 5 broken arms, broke both feet, broke four teeth, 30 stitches in my shin 5 in my knee, 5 staples in the back of the head, tons of rolled ankles, millions of shiners and I'm sure I'm forgetting some 😂. People who don't skate don't know what we go through for this sport and I was nowhere ever near getting sponsored, the pros are just on another level.
@@stpbasss3773 bro 3 broken ankles 1 once the other twice. Half a left knee cap left torn acl mcl pfcl all at once. Compound fracture wrist. Broken elbow. Broken collar bone. L1-5 compressed to hell. Dislocated left hip. I also have 3 balls from a sack that ruptured my left nut and 3 stitches in my butthole at the same time. 2 partials in my mouth, Andy Roy would be proud. And thats the major shit. Last ankle injury I was 43. 6 months to heal. Roll forever holmes.
seriously how frustrating is that. He literally put himself through probably 10 tries and 2 head slams for no reason at all. he had it every single try
No not necessarily. I skated with loose trucks all my life and tons of times I'd try to hill bomb or do other crazy sht on my friends boards and it completely fks my balance up. If you've learned how to skate from day 1 with really loose trucks skating with tight trucks will complete throw your balance off especially when your doing crazy sht at least for me. Obviously I can still skate with tight trucks but skating something big no way it's too sketchy. It feels weird even grabbing the nose and jumping on a board with tight trucks because I'm expecting to go whatever side of the truck my foot first lands but I end up going straight. (That last sentence probably didn't make sense it's hard to explain)
If there's ever one thing I can thank skateboarding for is the determination it always gave me. Always saying how badly do you want it some tricks can take days or weeks to learn but in the end NEVER GIVE UP 🤘
@@sirnjaca idk the Jamie Foy one makes me think most pros dont battle that hard, usually they feel it or they dont, or they give in earlier because they dont want it that badly or they can't justify the beating/risk because they have an incomplete part or a contest coming up. Every now and then though, they push through and you get shit like Dane Burman, Figgy or Sammy Baca.
One of my favorite skaters for sure. I loved it on the nine club when he says....I'll catch a fade momma didn't raise no bitch....that being said I knew he wouldn't stop till it was done. Keep grippin and rippin my dude
My war is such a great series. Really captures the true essence of skateboarding. Also, "Slid across that street more than any human should ever slide across a street in their life." lmao
Hell yeah Ronnie! Glad everyone can see the battle behind this trick
The battle makes seeing the landing THAT much sweeter. My nephew is a skater so I get to see, and film, the struggle. Its awesome when they finally land it. You can see the relief in the shoulders when they roll away from "it". ✌🏾
Can I have free shoes for Christmas or no
yo give my man big daddy them free shoes
Vans give Big Daddy his damn shoes already
+1 for big daddy’s free shoes

Dopest skater alive
Seeing how loose his trucks are at 8:32 AFTER tightening them a few cranks shows how gnar he was trying it before.
Noticed that too. Mental.
Hah he “tightened the fuck out of” them. Unbelievable
If he had tightened them at the start… FIRST GO!
Exactly!! Hahaha
@@markmccall9027 Indeed
That’s what skateboarding is about. Did you see the smile on his face when he said it was just that try, you know. I love skateboarding.
Amazing tought

FINALLY a new my war episode! The best series ever
“Honey, do you know why there is plywood screwed into edge of our roof?”
😂🤘
Dankwheelie watches skating, that’s so sick.
There’s no way they didn’t get permission
@@John-Doe-Yo they didn't
@@John-Doe-Yo they didnt, its no big deal lol its like 2 screws.
it looks like its a shop in little russia or something where tf is this filmed

Absolutely. That shot at 4:22 shows how gnarly that spot is
love this series, it really shows what it takes to be a skater

Not every spot deserves to be a "my war" there needs to be real heart, struggle and determination to be it

Thrasher needs to focus on making My War their priority by far the best series they have and there isn't enough of them
Ronnie is tough as nails!!! So stoked to see how far he's come since his gnarly knee injury! King of perseverance!
Had he just tightened his trucks from the get go he'd have saved himself a boatload of grief. Bloody hell.
haha its still loose when he tighten it
seriously how frustrating is that. He literally put himself through probably 10 tries and 2 head slams for no reason at all. he had it every single try
Johnnie Lurker haha I thought the same was like fuck still wild

Never skated and I'm 40, but this series is addictive and one of the best online. Seen em all and wish there was more
Loving these My War videos.
Im age 44. I saw this kind of vibe at s.f embarcadero 1993 ish.....miss my youth
Automatically clicked , we need more wars !
MY WAR is my favorite THRASHER series. I love seeing the mental battles they push themselves with
This is the most wholesome thing I've seen all day. Beautiful
This is what I love about skating. Also,
Love these videos where we really get inside a skater’s head. Great war, Ronnie!
This series is the absolute best. I love every single one.
Raw commitment and the even more important local spot imagination. I love how well it is explained just how un cut the concrete is to land with.
O SHIT A NEW MY WAR LOL THESE ONLY COME OUT LIKE ONCE A YEAR THIS MY FAVORITE SERIES
Ronnie "Streets" Sandoval. You earned it brother!! Amazing
Love watch Thrasher MAGAZINE This is My War
My war is my fave thing you guys upload. Seeing the story behind the gnarly tricks is so sick.
Best series on Thrasher
I literally started rewatching the My war videos with Dane Burman and suddenly they post a new video. Too gassed🔥🔥
Skaters are a different breed man ahahah that thing looks insane. To just be on top and go "yep, I'll drop into this", pure madness
Well put. The battle is mental and physical
Ronnie is truly the best. So gnarly!
If there's ever one thing I can thank skateboarding for is the determination it always gave me. Always saying how badly do you want it some tricks can take days or weeks to learn but in the end NEVER GIVE UP 🤘
These segments are awesome and I can’t stop watching.
11 minute long my war🤯
Just made my week
Thanks Ronnie! Appreciate yer spirit my dude! That grin made it all worth it. Legend.
I love this series
Love my war
Warched all of them over 100 times
Same. Milton's Sunset car wash kickflip is probably the craziest
I've been waiting for new MY WAR for years now. finally! I love this series! 🤘
This is my favorite My War so far! Ronnie is definitely a beast for doing this.
“You can cry, it’s okay.” ❤️❤️❤️
Geoff Rowley's Liverpool-California accent is so unique
I have watched, and will watch all of these.
Hi! I will start skateboarding soon!
This guy has such a genuine spirit. You can tell by his smile after he landed it
Finally the return of this series
Ronnie's "VANS nice to see you"🔥 one of the sickest video part of 2021 !
Best series on Thrasher by far
The happiness on his face when he finally gets it !! What a war boyy! respect ✊🏻❤️.
Yup MY WAR is the best thing about THRASHERs TH-cam
That's what skateboarding is all about right there. Believing in yourself and succeeding... 9:35
Dude I remember ronnie back at channel street days, so dope to see homie progress, good job bud
Beautiful. If you know the feeling you know the feeling. Thanks Thrasher
Its always better to see the story behind the tricks. Love these videos. Gnar
Love this. Captures the feeling of prepping, attempting, and landing a big trick perfectly.
You guys need to make more of these this is the best series you have
9:55 "you can cry, it's ok" dang near brought me to tears, what a great friend
ik man i love skating other than the younger scum shits everyone is just so down to earth

Nothing beats Thrasher: My War.
love this series and love ronnie, dream come true
Foreigners always inspire me!
I sincely hope I can get better soon and meet you guys soon🤲
From Ryotaro, a japanese
Anytime I dip out of skateboarding and come back and see videos like this, I'm hopeful for the future
The best Thrasher series!)
Finally we get another my war video!such a great series,thank you thrasher!!
Best segments on TH-cam
Let’s go so hyped to see a new my war
The journey of man has to go through to realize that all of his problems are due to his loose trucks
Lmao
Bahaha
bout dang TIME we had a My War, let's gooo!!!!
Finallyyy! Cmon thrasher give us more of this! My war each month!! :) p.s.: Ronnie is a beast!
I like that Thrasher lets them happen organically.
When someone does something on this level and the battle is this gnarly, they put it out.
@@SONOFABITCH agreed! but i also can't help but think there must be a ton of "my war worthy" battles from all the heavy daily content..

The Dedication..Much Respect !!
Yes!! A my war episode 😍🥰😍🥰
I’m not into skating, but these “My War” videos are amazing to me..
This is so very Inspirational that somebody would go out there and bravely try this
Funny there's a spot just like this in Glendale AZ too.
Good stuff Ronnie!
You paved the way. Cant wait to see what comes next from others.
what a beast! fooking love my War.. keep em comin Thrasher. you always know what the people want.
Hell yes Ronnie!! That was such an insane drop to bank brotha,much love man and keep shreddin brotha! 🖤🤙
Damn man, I used to love watch you guys shred tranny on IG, it's insane to see how far you guys have all come, it's completely wild. You're amazing.
“Slid across that street more than any human should… slide across a street in their life” 😂🤘🏻 badass Ronnie!
These are so sick to watch. The process is just as important as the make
After the first few bails I was like, dude, just tighten ya friggin trucks up a bit 🤦♂😂😂
Already watched this amazing video 3 times!
The story at the end about his dads work jacket is so wholesome
One of my favorite skaters for sure. I loved it on the nine club when he says....I'll catch a fade momma didn't raise no bitch....that being said I knew he wouldn't stop till it was done. Keep grippin and rippin my dude
A true legend at work!
My war is such a great series. Really captures the true essence of skateboarding. Also, "Slid across that street more than any human should ever slide across a street in their life." lmao
Amazing! Watching that made my palms sweat. So gnarly.
Yo been waiting for a new one
Yesss they are back
I didn't know this video just came out wondering how it only has 100k views, my favorite my war yet
Oh wow, a new My War!
Ronnie is a LEGEND and an absolute beast. 💪
NEW MY WAR EPISODE LETS GO
So good! Love this dudes skating
Madness ...also a camera can never really capture how steep things are...definition of gnarly :)
Beautiful.. that was a pretty hectic set up. He made the drop and bank so many times.
This was so real, loved it
More of these please, before I make my own.
