Exactly how i feel. We see enough footage of people throwing themselves down big ass sets and handrails. its always a treat to see street footy like this.
i agree. although i do competitions at local parks and stuff but that's just for fun. i don't take skateboarding seriously or anything, it's funner that way.
this is street skating at its best, no large crowd screaming, just a skater and his board and the street, too bad Jaws is going to win because of all the hype he is getting.
joey pepper is really underrated,this was a really fucking solid part, people are too distracted by jaws high 5ing the ground everytime he jumps off a building to even care, shame...
in my opinion this should win because it was actually real "street" skating........yeah he didn't switch flip a bigass staircase or nollie flip back 50 hollywood high but he truly skated real street obstacles. idk i just thought this was a lot cooler
Actually, Cory Kennedy does do a slappy in his part, and Chris Haslam give zero fucks about stairs in his part too. My vote's going to Haslam, I don't normally like him but his part was exactly how skating should look.
They should change the name of this contest from "REAL STREET" if they are going to over look footage like this. Nyjah and all those dudes are gnarly, but they're a circus act. Skating like this is inspiring.
sorry if i implied that, I'm smart enough too know if your not jumping down 11+ sets or ledge dancing your not making it in skateboarding or winning x games street
nah what i meant was he was skating obstacles that you wouldn't normally skate, which is more of street skating (in my opinion) i just get bored watching people skate stairs and rails all day.
To be fair, no matter how much you enjoy and respect "true" skateboarding(which is kind of a ridiculous subject) you still have to be an idiot to think this would win.
joey pepper...always fun to see what he comes up with. joey is as real as it gets in pro skateboarding, he ain't afraid to get a second job after getting shit on by a company like zoo either, real man, go peep skateboardermag's amazon 9 part series on youtube for some awesome footage of joey if you're a fan. 48blocks.com for the interview where he tells of zoo york's dealings with their riders, combined with zered's recent dismissal, i hope they go away for good.
i could care less about any contest x games or street league, doesn't mean shit, skating is not about winning anything and way to comment on something from six months ago
while i do think nyjah, manny, and aarons part required more skill this is still my favorite. i think it captures what real street is about to me. Joey isnt skating the best spots in the world hes just cruising around trying to do tricks in this vid. Thats real skating. I just didnt like how nyjah and manny and aaron were skating the best street spots in the world. thats not real street to me. Thats just finding spots that are as similar to skate park spots as possible
It's just sad that the whole stair count is comming back. Street is so much more than just handrails and stairs! Nobody else this year does a slappy... 'Cause slappys are "just" for fun and worming up before film hammers.
in all fairness, he was never going to win. not because of his ability but because x-games just go for the ones that all they care about is money, not the fun of skating. hence why the love the shit out of nyjah.
Street skating is absolute, one obstacle cannot be more street than the other.
the older he gets the better he gets
Caught this on ESPN when they were rolling out everyones part and I must say this was a stand out performance for sure.
I my opinion this is the realest STREET part of all in 2012! The other ones are more hammer parts than street parts.... Go Pepper!!
this guys part is probably my favorite, he actually skates the STREET. dont get me wrong handrails are sick but this dudes style is amazing
joey has one of the sickest styles in skateboarding, in the vein of justin strubing, reese forbes, donny barley, snap, power, finesse...
excellent part.
Exactly how i feel. We see enough footage of people throwing themselves down big ass sets and handrails. its always a treat to see street footy like this.

TIMELESS

How is the Hollywood set/rail in way similar to a skatepark setup?
joey pepper is really underrated,this was a really fucking solid part, people are too distracted by jaws high 5ing the ground everytime he jumps off a building to even care, shame...

@gradius22 right on
exactly, sadly, but i say we keep real skateboarding underground in the streets and out of contests, stick to the roots
Have you seen homokis part it changes everything
Did anybody else notice his weed socks at the beginning?!?!
Dig that Steve Martin soundtrack
nah what i meant was he was skating obstacles that you wouldn't normally skate, which is more of street skating (in my opinion) i just get bored watching people skate stairs and rails all day.

if you call yourself a skateboarder you must be confused with rollerblading.
1st trick rulez
HUF
if this was getting judged on STRAIGHT style and creativity joey pepper would have raped the competition
THOSE SOCK S IN THE BEGINNING!
in all fairness, he was never going to win. not because of his ability but because x-games just go for the ones that all they care about is money, not the fun of skating. hence why the love the shit out of nyjah.
Wtfs up with the music lol. styles okay. nice huf's ;]
XD
sorry pepper, but step it man.
manny to win!
go buy a famous shirt with some cargo shorts
idk man compared to the others i actually thought joey's was pretty shit, only the ast 3 tricks were hectic
im sure if he could throw something down el toro he would...
ur probly one of those kids who fiend over nyjah huston
lol u mad he didnt win
his tricks are rad but his style is stiff
is this a joke?

This is cool but not tech or creative enough to trump JAWS!
