And even though he didn’t end up in the top three, take a look at the video of Omar Hassan’s gnarly slam embedded below. Omar does not f—k around.

August 3rd, 2009 at 3:09 pm

August 3rd, 2009 at 3:41 pm
cardiel would destroy everyone
August 3rd, 2009 at 4:53 pm
andy mac rips.
..really

Jon Cardiel will come back 30 times better, and rape everybody up the cornhole at this event. and you will all have internal bleeding in your spleen, kidneys, and lower bowels from his amazing skating

Rune did do some good things. he back tailed that channel, that was rediculous. Tony T. would front-wallride this curved bank thingy every try. I think Chad bartie should have won though. he was just flowing. (andy mac wears full pads, he isn't gnar)

I really hate andy mac, all he does is skate the biggest competitions for the biggest cash purses. He doesn't even seem to exist anywhere else in the skate world besides competing. No video parts, no ads, no respected sponsors except large corporate ones like target. What the heck? this guy is as fake as they come.
August 3rd, 2009 at 9:31 pm
hell yeah this guy is fake just go to his website, http://www.andymacdonald.com/ All it has in it, is a schedule of all the places he is going to compete at for the year, so he can make his money, How you can contact him through his "Management Company" with his manager's name, His Biography about how many medals he won and how full of himself he is. Not to mention every page on his website has to have all his cool "Skateboard Sponsor" links like Verizon Wireless, Coast Body Wash, Cliff Bar, VedaloHD. Really this guy is pathetic and hardly is what for skateboarding stands for….what a tool

omar hassan is a wannabe cardiel

Let's get all the competitors to skate next year this instead of Big Air Rail.
Mckay Vs Way Vs Glifberg Vs Burnquist Vs Brown Vs Cardiel Vs Trujillo Vs Cardiel vs Narravette Vs Stu Graham Vs Bartie.Rune had some good runs but when Burnquist isn't there it is not quite the same.
I agree with the Andy Macdonald Criticism he isn't that good he has been doing the same incredibly hard yet boring run for the past ten years the only thing that has changed in that time is his helmet colour.

andy should be respected from every skater.watch his warm up line and trip out on how good he is!maybe same tricks and all but his shit is on point.
August 4th, 2009 at 4:16 pm
you should be on the biggest tool tv show for that comment
August 4th, 2009 at 5:44 pm
Omar is my son in law and you have to give the man credit, he got back up and finished the competition. Omar is an awesome person.
August 4th, 2009 at 6:03 pm
no doubt. i remember when skaters all liked each other for the most part. every youtube and transworld video here has some kid that can't wait to say something shiddy about someone. grow up.
August 4th, 2009 at 6:47 pm
Omar is my son in law and you are right, he slammed but got back up and finished. That is a real skate hound.
August 5th, 2009 at 8:05 pm
im glad Rune won cause he did good pool skatin and Andy Mac well….i think hes better at Big Air or Vert and i seriously see Mike V doin this contest!
August 6th, 2009 at 1:27 am
dude shaun white's sponsored by target too. who gives a fuck?
August 6th, 2009 at 1:28 am
dude shaun white is sponsored by target. who cares?
August 8th, 2009 at 2:52 am
Rune was faster and bigger than everyone else. Complain all you want about Andy Mac but the throwing vert tricks that most of the other guys couldn't do.

Thats all people do now walk around full of hate. they do NOTHING and yet they are better then everyone. 99 percent of the people in this world talk because they got nothing esle. step up to that gap and then maybe you'll have something to say. I can't go to a park without hearing sour-faces talking while sitting lol the only should they should produce is trucks tapping for someone who is pushing themselves to be better
