Tapdancing Trooper

Goes to show why flips out of front nose and nollie back heels out of just about anything are tricks that are not done for a reason. Our boy here, a weird twist of Jesus Fernandez and Janoski-appearance, has some stock-ugly hardflips as well. All that aside, the smith tricks are impressive as possible these days, and the kickflip front crook variants just as much. The way he sits in the grind before the shuvit is something rare, and the quick footed nollie varial flip out is surprising considering there is indeed a definitive tweak on the front crook. Styled front crooks that are technically progressive = rarity for sure. But the smith's are the real focus. I do not know who the opening guy is, I assume it's a cut from the previous part. He deserves credit for that smooth front blunt backside flip and the massive, late-spun frontside flip, whoever he is. But like I said, the smith variations. Damn. Front smith varial heel, front smith double flip, front smith varial flip, back smith hardflip, kickflip back smith tre? As much as tapdancing can get old, tricks from smith grinds and backside crooks will always make me happy on the inside. His 5-0 skills are apparent too; but the lock in for smith's makes them that much cooler.

Leo's Stay Gold part discussion is still coming. Came across this and felt like it was easier to post after a 12 hour day.
