Ben is on a psychotic skate mission to ride the deepest pits and terrain ever. It's almost like Earth is running out of spots gnarly enough for him to ride. Unreal. Here's his Welcome to Nike part.
I'm normally more into flatground, boxes, flatbars you know, the easy less dangerous stuff; but after seeing ben ripping concrete I'm pumped to go skate the bowl tomorrow :) :) :)
I've been trying to think of what to say about this video since yesterday morning and I'm still speechless. Well done, Ben. You are seriously fucking rad.
All this dude knows is GNAR. Complete pool destroyer. Eggplant at 1:29 is PERFECTION. Cab body jar revert was ??!!!??? So glad it wasn't another "kickflip crook to heelflip out" part...digging the creativity and the old school feel.
Totally agree with you about how amazing it is, but to be accurate, it is technically not a full pipe, as he rides the section where the pipe starts being a funnel. So it's more like oververt carving in a craddle with a hole in the middle, if you know what I mean. Still gnarly as fuck though.
This is a BOSS part, i didn't want to comment about anything else but i'll say this, stop being haters, Nikesb has done INSANE things for the skateboard culture, don't be dumb.
Collingsworth Gilbert if anything its making skateboarding mainstream and growing the industry. es shoes just came back. the money is out there. pretty sure Nike didn't ruing soccer, baseball, basketball and football. look what it did for basketball.
Sisyphus Asopus The fact that you would compare skateboarding to soccer, baseball, basketball, and football just proves that you have no fucking idea what yure talking about.
Sisyphus Asopus Well to be honest it commercialized all of the SPORTS you mentioned but the problem is that Skateboarding is more than just a sport, its a artform, a lifestyle and a movement of rebellion against rules and regulations which to be frank is the corporate model of Nike as a company, the two simply don't mix is the eyes of most skateboarders.
Literally less than half the clips in this video had any vert in them, and even less featured tricks on vert. I believe the word you're looking for is "transition" Dont fucking get it twisted.
jeffery eveline There is truth to this man's words. All transitions or ramps, quarter pipes or whatever the fuck you want to call it, has "vert" built into it. Ramps must have a few feet of "vert" in it or you're not riding real transition.
He is like the best bits of skaters past. I can see a bit of Jason Jessee, Neil Blender, Cardiel, Omar Hassan and so on. Looks like he enjoys it too. Good on him for skating nike, hope He makes money.
***** Wow, some serious corporate hate there. I'm guessing Nike are not the only bastards out there. So what shoes are cool in YOUR opinion. I have been skating for 26 years and in that time almost all the top skate industry companys sold out in one way or another in that time. Those that don't, don't survive.
Probably the smoothest and most original skater I've seen in ages. How can anybody hate?
Yo, don't forget Daewon, Richie Jackson and Jimmy Carlin! But I agree! ##
He's a pussy, das y.
He should totally wear a helmet....fearing for this man's life on almost every trick!
Am I the only person who thinks he should be on antihero? I think he would fit in perfectly
Yeah dude he is a badass.
I was just thinking that hahaaaaa
Jack Janisch Yeah, that's a good idea. #antihero
Jack Janisch Yeah Definitely! AntiHero and Ben Raybourn are my two favourite things about skateboarding.
Jack Janisch Uhh birdhouse, Tony Hawk, vert king. This kids a perfect match for them.
Looped a waterpark (check)
wallride a horizontal bridge bean (check)
hand plant a handrail (check)
Wallie off a bridge (check)
It's not human!
Straight up, teared up a little to see this. Glad you’re back, Ben!
Favorite dude to watch skate.. I grew up watching Hawk, Mcgill, Cabellaro, Natas.. Good shit!
guy is simply inceedible. he's taken skating to the next level. never seen anyone skate like that. much respect!
this dude and guys like alex sorgentte are the reason i decided to pick up the board again, great to see vert/pool and gnarly riding back on the rise!
Man this kid goes hard, best "In Transition" part I´ve seen so far
A part i have really been waiting for
One of the dopest parts I've ever seen....good shit
I'm normally more into flatground, boxes, flatbars you know, the easy less dangerous stuff; but after seeing ben ripping concrete I'm pumped to go skate the bowl tomorrow :) :) :)
What a power! Style, aggression, he doesn' t know fear. The starting acid drop is simply insane and amazing.
I've been trying to think of what to say about this video since yesterday morning and I'm still speechless. Well done, Ben. You are seriously fucking rad.
to cool to kickflip
Fucking hell. I feel John Cardiel´s soul is in this kid.
Agreed, you can see a bit of Cardiels style in him for sure
Umm… hope not. Last I checked Cardiel was still using it 😏
All this dude knows is GNAR. Complete pool destroyer. Eggplant at 1:29 is PERFECTION. Cab body jar revert was ??!!!??? So glad it wasn't another "kickflip crook to heelflip out" part...digging the creativity and the old school feel.
Digging the Route boards!!

Not Human! Holy ballz, this vid is so awesome!
That was the gnarliest loop ever!!! \m/
Hes one of if not my favourite skater
THE BANGER AND FULL PIPE WAS AMAZING
Totally agree with you about how amazing it is, but to be accurate, it is technically not a full pipe, as he rides the section where the pipe starts being a funnel. So it's more like oververt carving in a craddle with a hole in the middle, if you know what I mean. Still gnarly as fuck though.
my all time favorite video part
Sick!!!! My Dreams of Skating can't beat This !!! Wow
Best part ive seen in forever
Best pool skater alive.
Try again! Look for HOSOI, STABB, GATOR & I could mention a lot more!!
Yeah he's impressive but what about Gator
1:01 WTF?! killed it
This is a BOSS part, i didn't want to comment about anything else but i'll say this, stop being haters, Nikesb has done INSANE things for the skateboard culture, don't be dumb.
i didn't say that.
He never disappoints
The water park slide was awesome. Cooler than anything p-rods done
Goosebumps every time
Next skater of the year!
I was so excited for this. Now i am so bummed because i dont know if a part this gnarly will come out again until he does get soty

ikr
little Ben, SOTY, it is time!
Yo ben raybourne's Nike free part was pretty bangin too 😄😄
Who gives a shit if hes on nike, very few pros get that opportunity and he is amazing, he deserves the money.
Because it's making skater owned business go bust and just ruining skateboarding

i dont really enjoy vert skating, but this was actually pretty cool
Literally less than half the clips in this video had any vert in them, and even less featured tricks on vert. I believe the word you're looking for is "transition"
Dont fucking get it twisted.
quarter pipes and all that is transition, but to me all transition is vert
are you dumb? i didint say it was i said to me it is, just get outside cause i cant stand when people argue over a computer
