I'm from louisville, and that spot by the river is by the skatepark. i've walked down and stood on top of the jump many times. Even as a skater for 30 years seeing everything, I couldn't comprehend how it was even possible or how anyone could even think it was possible.
I've skated around Waterfront park a lot back in the day and the spot he ollied is insanely huge. It looks big in the video but not near as big as it really is in person
I am too. I used to rent bikes at the big four bridge right there with my little brother and we both rode down those stairs on those 4 wheel bikes and it felt like it went on forever.
I'm 35 and a 5 stair hurts my knees nowadays, each gap he does leaves me both amused and terrified. I feel like my body is going to be sore tomorrow after watching the things he does. It's just otherworldly insane.
Jaws, to me, is the goat. He does immensely unbelievable shit, boggles the middle, and is the most wholesome, loving individual. I love watching him land something I couldn’t conceive and his first move is to hug a homie. A wonderful human being.
I agree. Joslin and Jaws will always be the goats and with the way skateboarding is going with SLS and technical bs over gnarliness I think they are the last of their kind
He's the goat of Street Drops. Bob Burnquist though is the Ramp and sheer "Who thought this was a good idea?" Goat with all those crazy ramps he builds.
The impact when hes moving slower is insane. You can see the pain in his face in some. I think the secret to his longevity is landing as wide stance as possible to soften the impact to his knees. I know he just had both knees replaced and hes back to killing it! Such an awesome dude and inspiration. #Madfrail
Pageau skated for lib tech if u guys remember he was sick back in the day but yeah he went ghost after that gnarly dinger/scorpion/headbust lib tech were puttin crazy stuff into they're boards back then go make them lighter kinda how it is now but it was refined at all like it is today... I grew up skating in the 2000s and it's just insane how far things have come in our beloved sport...
@normanl.6891 dude world sponsored so many good dudes before they fell off... I was born in the 90s and grew up watching everyone who is basically just obscene to talk about these days but this dude could throw some shit down and it was always relevant... he did darkslides gnarly back lips and some shit that u would see in a mag and be like wtf just happened!? Lol I miss skating so much like I still skate but I had my boys with me back then and we were tight like shoelace dude... I frickin miss skating with everyone so much
How can a slam like that not be what ppl remember. It was gnarly.. same with the dude who fell off that roof.. he is so good but he'll forever be remembered as the skater in lucky to be alive.
I’d be really impressed if he’s still doing gaps and drops that big at 40 also! I just turned 52, and there hasn’t been a single day in the past 3 years that my knees haven’t hurt. I grew up doing huge drops in the late 70s and early 80s, and then moved on to gaps as skating progressed and the Ollie became the foundation of street skating. On a side note; I also remember when Rodney came up with the kickflip, and he was almost excommunicated from the skate scene, because “ that weird shit ain’t skatin dude!”
I was practically ****** myself standing at the top of the Wallenberg gap in SF.. I couldn’t even imagine with these would look like in person.. LEGEND! 🐐
I grew up around Aaron libed in Phoenix az he would always come to the slate park and everyone would go crazy when he showed up, wasnt even sponsored or anything like that yet. Just brung that cool presence
Guys check out Jaws video parts - happy medium 2 ; 3 and Berrics - dude is on the another level! Important thing - dude has good personality! Great example for young people!
The first time I saw Jaws was him skating with Dan Corrigan, and I thought well... He's an average skater, never seeing these insane gaps that he did. Jaws is a fucking legend. You know those mythical creatures from Greek literature? They were real... and Jaws is a descendant.
the fact that they r worried about being demonetized is ridiculous. sometimes people land things and its awesome and beautiful but sometimes ppl get broken off too.. its the reality of it
7:25 This place, the Lyon 25, I saw a video of a bunch of kids trying to jump it on a scooter and it was hilarious, just getting absolutely wrecked, but I guess props for trying because that shit is insane
I've studied his legs when he lands. They make a triangle and his knees are almost touching. I'm convinced this is how he's able to take such monster impacts. Being thin and light is another component.
Poh, surpresa boa esse globe Sabre, ainda não conhecia a silhueta e nem sabia que a marca ainda tava fazendo tênis. Tive um globe finale Na época e curtia demais esse tênis.
I found out about him because of King Of The Road a while back. There was a jump that landed him in the hospital is all i will say. It's beyond gnarly. But Jaws is still skating hard as hell, dudes a legend.
Dude I haven’t laughed so hard in so long brothers thank you , when dude said “he jumped off the bridge” my built up laughter exploded I love 🛹🤙🏽 always will and willl always skate
I’m not a skater skater, but I love watching and I appreciate the art form and I’m amazed by what people are able to do on a board. My biggest question is how does the board not break? How does it handle these huge drops? Is it just a balance of equilibrium between the trucks/wheels and the weight of the human body? I’d really love to know the science behind it!
boards break all the time, on these big drops, sometimes even the truck will bend or break but if you land with your feet over the bolts, thats your best chance not to...
Didnt even show the one HUGE gap where his wheel blew off mid air and he was literally as high up as a bird flying. I think it has the leap of faith beat for most gnarly thing ever.
Jaws' knees are wreeeeecked already, though. He's talked about it quite a bit if my memory is not failing me at the moment. Also, anything into transition is exponentially "easier" than anything into flat. So imagine how difficult some of those to flat must be. Edit: Also, don't forget that there aren't very many bails in this video. Dude didn't land all these first try. Some of them had a ton of bails.
the huge gap in Louisville is unreal. I was ate the skate park about a block away while it went down and Riley Hawk showed us the clip. Gnarliest thing ever. 20 stairs plus the crazy ledge on top. I think he fracture some shit
When you get older you look at gnarly stuff and fear starts to kick in because you know you're not going to be back in two weeks skating if you slam hard so you have to ask yourself (in the immortal words of Dade Murphy), "Is the juice still worth the squeeze?" For most people with real day jobs, its not.
The way u guys laughed at his nollie flip thats how i laugh at andy andersons tricks (some) i mean his pretty good but like cringey at the same time like bro u didnt land it dont play it off 😂🤷🏻♂️
4:48 so that’s in Louisville, Kentucky and the stairs alone are a 20 set … and the ledge things are another maybe 5 stairs higher ??? Give or take ?? I live close to there and it’s so massive
Those stairs by the waterfront is here in Louisville at the great lawn. You have no idea how big that is until you are standing there in person. The video doesn't even do it justice. When I saw that on the thumbnail, I clicked on it thinking it was just click bait because "there's no fucking way someone jumped down that staircase." I ride BMX and wouldn't even dare doing that on my bike. How is that even possible!?
“Hey jaws wanna go skate?” “Yeah dude lemme grab my ladder!” 😂😂
This should be the top comment.
😂😂😂
😂🤣😂🤣
this comment is hilarious 😂
That Nollie flip is GOATED
Lovin Jeron and Kelly's reactions lol

It makes el toro look like a 6 stair.
i thought that place looked familiar
It’s so narrow, too. I was shaking standing at the edge. Insane.

Looks like Dan is running a skateshop in Quebec and teaches skating to kids!❤
Fucking thank you. After that bail my mind went to brain injury.
Dan’s in Burnaby, BC. And Also has an Indoor skatepark/shop in Surrey, BC. One Love is the name.

Dan Pageau is now owner of a skateboard shop in the Vancouver area and also offers skateboard lessons.
"Oh, he stopped"😂😂😂

Like if Corey duffel and Ryan Sheckler had a baby
I agree. Joslin and Jaws will always be the goats and with the way skateboarding is going with SLS and technical bs over gnarliness I think they are the last of their kind

Truly his own style. The man is a legend.
If send it was a style its this guy rh
Gotta give Aurlien some respect for the grabless the Lyon 25 attempt
Obviously so many great hits on this compilation, but the wavy roof to fence gap at 4:03 is just too damn cool 💪
THPS1 school yard vibes!!
That no-pop nollie flip was legendary!
Remember, fisheye always makes things look bigger than they are, too.
You can hear the pop
My 50 year old knees ache just from watching this insane compilation!!
The impact when hes moving slower is insane. You can see the pain in his face in some. I think the secret to his longevity is landing as wide stance as possible to soften the impact to his knees.

Jaws is incredible. My favorite skater ever.
AHM2 will go down in the books
Who remembers Tony hawk's first 900.
9:34 Mongo pushing toward el toro is wild
Jaws hands down has the biggest balls of steel in skate history, these gaps are all insane!

I just love tim, all his comments and commentaries really spice up the show, he fits right in
The waterfront ollie. I live in louisville and everytime I drive by that, I think of that Ollie. Wish I could've seen it in person
“HUCKIN HANSOME” 😂❤ 1:55
that one over the fence into the transition is just so scary like you cant bail from that all
5:19 who beside jaws would ever look at that and say yeah man the stairs just aren’t big enough ima ollie from the top of the ledge instead
Me and Tanner Hall over here screaming “MY ANKLES! I SHATTERED MY ANKLES!!!”
His ankles & knees are definitely GONE. Big respect
Dan is doing well and has remained active in the skate community ever since. Wish that wasn't his legacy.
I think the people that know, know there's much more to it than that
How can a slam like that not be what ppl remember. It was gnarly.. same with the dude who fell off that roof.. he is so good but he'll forever be remembered as the skater in lucky to be alive.
@@nathanskates98it's totally reasonable to associate him with it but ya know I'm just saying he's a great skater too
Jaws is amazing! I hope he takes care of his body now because he is going to feel the accumulation of all those when he is older. Much respect though.
Haha that shitty ass nolliflip before el toro is so great . Fuckin hilarious 😆
Back in the 90's Kanten Russell and Josh Kasper were two of the gnarliest on huge drops but this is absolutely insane.
thx ich hab tränen gelacht der typ is so ein hardcore skater^^
That riverside block ollie will always blow me away every time I see it. Every single time.
and the lions stairs💪
There's nothing special about it. Pretty easy.

Dude, Dubs just makes me smile. Also, mad frail Lolol
"he's the most hucking guy ever" perfect summary
2:22 ok, we get it with the huckle thing bro, yes yes he's a hulker or whatever. Got it.
HUCKEN~A BRO!? Awesome!!! THANk you!
Roof drop on Main St in Santa Ana made me smile - love he skated it. We’ve all thought about it. Leave it to Jaws to do it! Damn legend 🎉❤

Jaws is the only one who could do something massive enough to put sack to grip tape and still ride it out! LEGEND.
Hurts my ankles and knees just watching
i laughed to actual tears after seeing that nollie flip. absolutely priceless.

@@sauce1232not the point
Guy Mariano. Videos Days was on repeat. What a part.
Bro literally jumped off a bridge... while also flipping his board into it 🤯
MY man Jaws is so badass he needs his own special on Discovery's Shark Week.
You can see my dads house in the background of the biggest gap. It's the waterfront in Louisville KY, that's Jeffersonville Indiana in the background.
Love him!!!! Amazing!!!
Wild!
that slam could have easily turned him into el torso, thankfully he's ok
4:30 is the biggest Ollie ever, far bigger than Lyon 25.
Scratch that, just watched Lyon 25 😂
Dude is going to make a lot of doctors happy in his 30s
Dude I haven’t laughed so hard in so long brothers thank you , when dude said “he jumped off the bridge” my built up laughter exploded I love 🛹🤙🏽 always will and willl always skate
Man I love skateboarding
His ollies remind me of Josh Casper. How his front foot kinda hangs higher than his back foot. He doesn't even it out until the last minute.
Insane. Makes me wanna skate a 2 stair
