So a quick write up about ol’ Rhettneck? For starters, if you are close friends with Rhett, you are most likely
getting harsh text messages from him all day long. I wake up to an insulting text message and usually read another one before heading to bed. Of course, all the harsh text are just out of love though right? Umm right. Seriously though, Rhett is one of the most genuine people I know. Not to get all sappy, but he is a great friend and is the kind of guy who is happy just being himself. I have been on a few budget skate trips with the guy, the kind of trip where sleeping on the beach is the plan. After getting kicked off the beach at 3 A.M. and having no choice but to sleep in the outfield of a baseball field in a ghetto park, most people would be bummed out and over it. Rhett never complained and just laughed about it. He was just happy to be with his friends and skateboarding everyday on a trip. Missions, finding spots, building spots, lurking in the city all night skating and most importantly being out with his friends having fun is what is important to Rhett.
Heres to ya brothaman!

He just needs to work on his stance. He's all wide, and he kinda looks all squat-like. He rips, but he has to work on some style.
July 8th, 2009 at 4:50 am
Song was featured on Bloc Party's "Silent Alarm Remixed' album. It's called "Luno".
It's a cover/collaborative remix done by Sebastien Grainger and Jesse F. Keeler, who are ex. Death From Above 1979, and Bloc Party.
Grainger's current project is Sebastien Grainger and the Mountains and Jesse Keeler now records/performs along with some other dude as MSTRKRFT.
Hope this clears that up.
Shred for life!

The comments on this site make me hate skateboarding.
July 8th, 2009 at 5:43 am
pretty sure u've been skating like 2 years and most probably have a bad style and boring tricks! so shut the fuck up dude cause u prob just lurk around sites writing bad comments man so go learn some tricks and get some skills yourself instead of bitching!
July 8th, 2009 at 2:15 pm
i didnt like this to much..even thow that shit looks hard to hit..but his style is doo doo..and "homedog" above me can eat a dick.. its a new day and age
July 8th, 2009 at 2:16 pm

July 8th, 2009 at 3:22 pm

all the tricks to manual were sick
July 8th, 2009 at 3:54 pm
anyone else think the video player is fucked. its like 5 frames per second
July 8th, 2009 at 4:34 pm
"He rips, but he has to work on some style."
First off, you can't work on style. It's something that is natural to a person and a skater. If anything skaters need to learn how to ride a skateboard not just skateboard. Funny how most can't even push a board with style but they can do a million flip tricks. Blah. Blah. Blah. Blah. (this isn't directed at Rhett by the way)
Spend less time on the internet hating and more time skating…. that should help just a little.
July 8th, 2009 at 8:19 pm
fool isn't that good.
July 8th, 2009 at 11:41 pm
Jo3l,
Intimacy is a little different and less electrifying than what your probably used to hearing from bloc party but its all good! Its still Bloc Party
July 8th, 2009 at 11:45 pm
Back to the days when this internet didn't have these little trash talkers and you had to prove your shit in order to put someone down and act better than someone that would smash on you at skating off the computer

WTF… why does this have to happen? just because his style isnt robotic and a product of hours of lurking at good skaters doesnt mean its bad…. its individualism… he can do what ever the fuck he wants however the fuck he wants… until you show me the fucking skateboard rule book that you get your bull shit from i want you to practice the violin on your wrists…with a razor
July 9th, 2009 at 1:41 am
you dont have to be a robot to be a skateboarder… the rule book your getting your shit from needs to be thrown out.. and the realization that skateboarding has no rules and he can skate however he wants needs to be picked up… individualism is an awesome thing and needs to be embraced not thrown out by unoriginal kids
July 9th, 2009 at 1:42 am
you dont have to be a robot to be a skateboarder… the rule book your getting your sh!t from needs to be thrown out.. and the realization that skateboarding has no rules and he can skate however he wants… individualism is an awesome thing and needs to be embraced not thrown out by dumb kids
July 9th, 2009 at 4:25 am
finally some atlanta spots that ive actually been to
July 9th, 2009 at 4:44 am
I second sk801. Skateboarding does not have any rules: agreed, but that was the most unstyled, and un-original skateboarding Ive seen.
July 9th, 2009 at 7:52 am
this guys sucks
July 9th, 2009 at 1:35 pm
all im going to say is beauty is in the eye of the beholder… if you dont think its stylish to your standards thats fine keep it to yourself.. but some people may see it different… we need to encourage people not cut them down.
July 9th, 2009 at 5:33 pm
I like this guy AND his style. haters can eat sh*t and die
