  3. Lol, I really liked that, and the chavvy responses you got as well.
    There's something very compelling about freestyle in a urban
    environment, I love watching it anyway, but freestyle in a skatepark
    just seems to work, esp with your hops mixed into it, and the unispin
    stuff which you really have down nice now.

    EDIT: Looks to be about 4 feet to me, maybe slightly less, 3' 6"-10"
    possibly.

  8. That was some really smooth freestyle moves, I agree with Loose about
    the urban freestyle thing, it looks good. Espically when you mix it up
    with ledges and such, and throw in some huge hopes in between. 🙂

  10. So for the main part, were you by yourself in the skatepark? I've always
    been weary of filming myself in skatepark type places, because I'm
    afraid someone might try to steal the camera or something stupid like
    that.

  15. Geeze! Your rolling hops amaze me every time, they are so high!

    I really liked the part of you jumping on top of the spin, I was
    hopping you would of went from the top then cleared the other side of
    of the ramp, that would of been nice =p

    I was just going to mention that in fact..

  20. I didn't realize i put spin lol, i meant spine =p

    Kinda looks like this _/\_ but much more curved lol. but you came up
    onto it, then hopped up onto the top, then the video went to another
    shot. When I saw it, I thought you were gonna go and jump over the
    other side =p

    In your video, its at 42seconds, so if you don't know what im talking
    about, just go 42 seconds into your video and watch =p
