April 3rd, 2009 at 7:26 am
That 360 hardflip at the end was coooool.
April 3rd, 2009 at 7:40 am
welcome to torontos skatespots niggas
April 3rd, 2009 at 7:42 am
Got 10 seconds in and had to turn it off, so bad. Also, doing any slide to slide combo was played out by Peter Smolik, but already had been done by Ronnie Creager…now it is just silly to see people doing them. May as well do a pressure flip or something, so trite.
April 3rd, 2009 at 7:45 am
wow so original he skates just for fun
April 3rd, 2009 at 8:02 am
Good but too many manuals. I think he did every possible manual. I did like the nose nollie flip nose manual. That was tight
April 3rd, 2009 at 8:09 am
Is better than you fatass, I guess u can’t even kickflip.
Very good video, but very bad song (in my opinion)
April 3rd, 2009 at 8:56 am
that flatground ollie was dope
April 3rd, 2009 at 8:57 am
arms everywhere!!!!!!!!!!
April 3rd, 2009 at 8:59 am

April 3rd, 2009 at 10:57 am
the last guy i had sex with was mike crook, his ass was tight
April 3rd, 2009 at 10:58 am
Chocobot, you are such a fool. I can almost guarantee you can not do a slide to slide combo but im sure everyone can do a kickflip and i dont see anyone bitching about how played out they by every skater that has walked the earth so…….your dumb
April 3rd, 2009 at 10:59 am
What up homie! see you at Dunbat
April 3rd, 2009 at 11:09 am
Champagne! where you been this year, dunbat lights are on and mostly all set up. come skate this week. hit me up homie
April 3rd, 2009 at 11:27 am
i find it funny when people bash on good skaters because i dont see any of your guy’s vid’s up
so shut up
i bet oif it came down to you and him in rl he’d school you so stfu
April 3rd, 2009 at 11:38 am
You’re good man. Super tech. Lots of style. 360 hardflip? What?
April 3rd, 2009 at 11:52 am
So they were probably fine when you heard Ludacris in this video.
April 3rd, 2009 at 11:54 am
CROOK!!! You are awesome. Maybe we’ll film/skate together this year.
April 3rd, 2009 at 11:56 am
Creativity? A few interesting ones.
April 3rd, 2009 at 12:17 pm
Is it just me or does “just skating for fun” imply that he is not seeking and therefore shouldn’t have sponsors?
April 3rd, 2009 at 12:20 pm
hes got it he just needs to skate faster. thats why i dont skate stuff like that i guess. im not frontin those tricks were hella hard but if you want that kind of skating check out spencer brown’s new footage. 410 represent.
April 3rd, 2009 at 12:40 pm
it was good vibin the bigspin nose many
April 3rd, 2009 at 12:42 pm
wow im wondering how he got those sponsors hes gotta be better then in the video!?
April 3rd, 2009 at 12:42 pm
this is great footage, i just got a little bored.
April 3rd, 2009 at 12:46 pm
LOL
April 3rd, 2009 at 1:35 pm
tired of manuals now…
April 3rd, 2009 at 1:49 pm
This guy really kicks ass. I cant even read the comments a lot of you guys are idiots saying he goes too slow whatever he can speed up anytime he wants. If he kicks ass going slow, he kicks ass going fast deuchebags. - nice footy mike you rock that reverse sexchange to fakie manny was fking dope.
April 3rd, 2009 at 1:55 pm
skating for fun with all those sponsors huh? i thought you had to be moving when you landed something to count it?
April 3rd, 2009 at 2:24 pm
what, Crook is on the scene, he’s got too many tricks to even include this video. talk to you soon homie
April 3rd, 2009 at 2:51 pm
would i be the only one if i said i was paying attention to the song more than the skating?
April 3rd, 2009 at 3:23 pm
He’s good, but there are too many manuals. They’re sick but he needs to mix it up a little
April 3rd, 2009 at 3:23 pm
REtarded
April 3rd, 2009 at 3:39 pm
does it count if you land tricks sideways?! WTF he cant even ride away. creative tricks that a four year old would do with a stupid techdeck! Do some real tricks. Put your arms down you look like a pupet!
April 3rd, 2009 at 3:43 pm
i agree! if anyone else agrees reply to duck sauce’s comment!
April 3rd, 2009 at 3:55 pm
not lil wayne
April 3rd, 2009 at 4:26 pm
true he does skate he sucks
April 3rd, 2009 at 5:05 pm

April 3rd, 2009 at 5:55 pm
F haters. i love to see people do stuff out of the ordinary. mad nice
April 3rd, 2009 at 6:34 pm
Bro, if he skates for fun what does that have to do with sponsors, you can skate for fun, and get hooked up, whats better than that???maybe the kid who said slide too slide combo’s are played out, that was funny, and all the kids who tell this dude how to skate, is also funny…Shut up and shred!if you even skate!
April 3rd, 2009 at 6:51 pm

April 3rd, 2009 at 10:35 pm

April 3rd, 2009 at 10:37 pm
Dude ain’t on the Royal web site.
April 4th, 2009 at 2:47 am

April 4th, 2009 at 5:16 am
Papa Roach is wack. that hair sux
April 4th, 2009 at 7:32 am
Too slow … by the time he lands the trick he is out of gas. The song is bad as well you know … just following the gangsta rap herd!

April 4th, 2009 at 5:10 pm
This song
April 4th, 2009 at 5:16 pm
You fools are ignorant.
April 4th, 2009 at 5:51 pm
idc wut you guys say i think this vid is sickkk
April 4th, 2009 at 8:29 pm
skate faster and roll away please.
April 4th, 2009 at 10:10 pm
first everybody that says skate faster probably couldn’t do one trick this guy did. and, as far as i have seen (and i’ve seen probably 200+ skate videos) he did the first switch bigspin nose manual and definitely the first ghetto bird (looked more like a kickflip bs sex change) switch nose manual that i can remember.
April 5th, 2009 at 12:09 am
he skates for fun guys……because if he was serious…he would be pro right now..and not trying to get recognized on transworld website………MANN….could you imagine if he WAS serious…..his part would be like 2 hours
April 5th, 2009 at 12:10 am
SLOW DOWN!!!!
April 5th, 2009 at 10:51 am
“your dumb”
Why don’t people feel stupid for saying this? GAHH.
April 5th, 2009 at 11:55 am
that was insane
April 5th, 2009 at 1:46 pm
If he skated JUST for fun he would not be filming or have sponsors. He is good but bad filming and bad song made it worse along with horrible compression. Slow skating and repeat tricks got annoying.
April 5th, 2009 at 2:46 pm
cosign
April 5th, 2009 at 5:12 pm
kind of skates slow and kind of boring. sorry for hating
April 5th, 2009 at 7:24 pm
man am sucks
April 6th, 2009 at 5:37 am
that was SICK
April 6th, 2009 at 10:17 am
He does skate a little slow…but I don’t think most people could do any of those tricks hauling ass. He’s sick. That last trick was SO WILD and creative.
April 6th, 2009 at 10:57 am
learn to spell
April 6th, 2009 at 11:12 am
amazing tricks. really talented skater but he simply has to speed his skating up a lot. if he skated a faster it would look a thousand times more stylish. however mad props!!! dude is so talented!!
peace
April 6th, 2009 at 12:17 pm
he does skate slow, but hes still narsty. you gotta give him credit
April 6th, 2009 at 2:46 pm
i think he meant
some parts were a little slow,
but (the) (w)hole thing is sick!
April 6th, 2009 at 11:24 pm
A little too slow on a lot of the tricks but otherwise not a bad part…however I find it redundant that he says he “skates for fun” if he skated for fun he would have no sponsors. He may still be having fun skating but now he skates for Monke Skateboards, Es footwear, Royal Trucks, Capix…so it is a little far fetched to be saying he fully skates for fun just my two cents
April 6th, 2009 at 11:28 pm
I left a comment down below that talks about your idea, I have a similar view to your opinion as well
April 7th, 2009 at 10:59 am
Good style and tech as hell.
April 7th, 2009 at 11:02 am
I see what you’re sayin dude, but if he get’s to have fun and not have to pay for it that’s cool too. Having a new set-up when you need it doesn’t mean he’s not just havin fun.
April 7th, 2009 at 1:16 pm
uncapping to do!!!
April 7th, 2009 at 2:56 pm
what city?
April 7th, 2009 at 2:58 pm
nvm VANCOUVER SONN!!!!
April 7th, 2009 at 4:48 pm

this guy is unreal, soooooo fckin good
April 9th, 2009 at 9:14 am
Everyone in Toronto knows that this guy is a conceded spoiled brat. He will spend the next two weeks frantically hitting the refresh button, editing out all the negative stuff in his head, and taking in all the praise and use it for masterbating material.
April 9th, 2009 at 10:29 am
I own a park in Toronto, and yes I sometimes skate naked with an erection and let gay photographers take photos of me, but that is besides the point. I can tell you that this kid is in it to win it. He rips my park apart with so many sick manny variations on my mini ramp. I am hoping one day we will skate the park naked together. And have a manualling jousting match on my raging half pipe.
April 9th, 2009 at 10:59 am
Hey Mike, over 13,000 views and only 10 people “Prop It”?
I bet you jerk off while looking into a mirror.
Seriously, it’s conceited, self absorbed bitches like you that give Toronto a bad rap.
April 9th, 2009 at 12:26 pm
I heard he sent the link to transworld 5 times a day since last dec.
April 9th, 2009 at 1:24 pm
Hey guys, thanks for the props, I just skate for fun. I want to tell you guys who like my skating about my other projects. Yeah, I’ve been killing it bros. I’ve been really getting into music. Yeah, it’s f–kin’ dope bro, you should use a track in the video! Yeah, I’ve been working on some graphics too. Gotta check ‘em out, they’re like, really sick. Oh, bro, did you get the photos I sent? I used a timer and shot them myself. I do a little bit of everything, you know? I figured since it’s a promo, we could slip some 8×10’s in with it. You know, head shots, ’cause I’m looking to get into films, and you never know who’ll be scoutin’,you know? Which hat should I rock for the photo? ES, ROYAL, MONKEE, or should I just rock a CAPIX ‘met? BTW, I’m on all those companies, L-O-L
April 9th, 2009 at 5:20 pm
^That was a letter he sent to one of his sponsors before they let him go. California please take him, we are sick of him. Most narcissistic skateboarder in Canada, hands down.
April 9th, 2009 at 10:19 pm
for sure fake
April 19th, 2009 at 2:28 pm
why so many haters on this skater?
April 26th, 2009 at 9:12 am
Agreed. Rap music is destroying skateboarding. There is good rap out there, but no one ever chooses anything good for skate videos. It’s all extremely repetitive annoying beats with synth brass and some gangster who wants you to know he’s living the hard life cappin’ bitches and riding spinners.
May 15th, 2009 at 4:48 am
and lil wayne genious haha. but lil wayne is amazing.
May 22nd, 2009 at 7:48 pm
no man, just because he skates for a company doesn't necessarily cancel out the fun he skates for. if you love to skate, you love to skate and get free stuff for it. for most people, there's no reason not to.
