  • It's been a decade since David dropped one of the heaviest parts ever, earning him the 2012 SOTY trophy as a result. Hop on the missions that made it happen.

    One of the best all-terrain rippers of all time. Ridiculous rails, mini ramps, transition, pools, stairs...you name it and this dude went HUGE on it. I will never forget the impact this part had on me and I'm sure I'm not alone!

    Just in the first 2 min of this video you can see the determination in this guy. After he bails, there's no cussing or freaking out, just right back up and on the board to try again. This guy rules.

    This dude is just quintessential archetype of skater body and mind, brought into a modern age and new philosophy (of how high, fast, far, risky and technical)... his style is made made for water and waves, but his pain tolerance means he goes into battle with concrete, metal, jagged edges and gravity completely fearlessly and almost with a calm aura of joy.

    One reason this is so sick to see which often might get overshadowed is how well he bails out of death defying situations. He could have been knocked out so many times or broken everything, but he somehow just walks the Hubba like a plank, or slides or rolls or some ninja shit everytime. So yea, add bail king to his accolades 🤘 definitely fuckin possessed to skate
