Kickflips, by Kareem Campbell

[legsarenice]

BUMP

[martinmerrywinkle]

Kareem clearly didnt care about style, and as a result he had one of the best styles! Just boosting a kickflip in the air, not bothered about a clean landing. Shame he quit

[rodneyk]

wasnt kareem the first black skater to stack a millie?

[blankPage681]

axion is where its at brotha



[todanes]

the kickflip off that ledge is rather unhealthy

[BOW3S]

"The frontside 180 flip is like doing a frontside 180, except you're actually flipping the board". WOW thanks kareem! Now I understand it! I definitely didn't get that it was that simple before!

[SuperSaibotShow]

its impossible for me to watch a kareem campbell video without thinking about the first tony hawk games. Seems like he was an awesome video game character first then became a human lol.

[Glover2435]

OG.

[whammy850]

What a great video this was, ah the memories...

This and Starting Point are where I learned everything I know about skateboarding. I really hate to sound like a troll asking for MOAR, but if you ever get time, would you mind uploading the rest of this video? I have the tape, but my VCR's out of commission.

And BTW, meet your newest subscriber. I really like the general theme of your channel.

[snitchskate]

360 varial flips, hahahah

[SenserAwe]

what



[handyfox333]

Can you hear anything he says?

[dylfanone]

the perfect kickflip:)

[TheDangerousKid]

kareem just used to boost every trick lol proper donkey flips

[IanTheMontrealSkater]

i heard e died, is that not true?

[stevie1tk]

he has bigg ass feet he needs a bigger board.

[jerk89]

@stevie1tk haha i was gonna say the same thing

[Seagerash]

his kickflips are sick. so high

[westernrebel89]

i had this video i did not learn to kickflip from this kareem. the whole video was a rip off

[jizzalloverpants101]

like hes a great skater bt he has horrible style and looks to big for the board

[xsteneck]

worst pro kickflips ever?

[XYBastard]

that looks more like a late flip O_O look at how high he is before the board starts to flip O_O

[luckyhXckid]

bring back city stars

[matticus12345]

i dont like his style....

[rafaelmarquez22]

he no teach a hardflip, varial flip, bigspin flips..

[004Zach13]

0:56 i beleive you mean a "Varial kickflip"? :-/

[SoyBobMac]

@004Zach13 NO!!!! that's a tre flip or 360flip. A varial is just a pop shuv with a flip

[004Zach13]

@SoyBobMac yea, my bad lmfao, i guess i was either high or extremly tired when i said that

[wra7h]

Theres nothing steezy about this kickflip, posers.

[Schoolongina]

"steezy" is a queer word

Kareem is a fucken oracle you should be ashamed

[wra7h]

so wat, that doesnt change thef act that his kickflips are dirty

[frillier]

RIP

[rebusd]

Mullen, Natas, Hill, Hensley, Wray, Penney, Kareem, Muska, and after that I kinda lost touch.... but those guys, to me, were the closest things to a line of royalty in kickflips... I know they had their contemporaries, but to me, these guys are the ones who pushed the kickflip further than not only their predecessor, but also their peers... Anyone care to comment, add, correct, etc?

[TravisChrist777]

he shoulda rode a bigger board, he was always toe touching. he had like size 13 shoes and 7.5 board. still sick tho

[myfreepaysite1]

thats called having stee... something you dont know about...

[TravisChrist777]

@myfreepaysite1 whats this stee? im not familiar. if u mean steeze then u dont kno much about it, cause board size dont matter for that fool

[anarchistatheist]

i have never seen a kick flip like that O_o

its sick as fuck, like wtf

it dosn't even look like a kickflip, this nigga just does a steezy flip, shouldbe have a kickflip trick tip

aint no one ganna learn his steezy flip, watchin him do them, every one will think there kickflips suck cuz they look so generic.

[NBskate]

kareem is such an OG

[olizeey25]

i met his nephew

[enfoques21]

venice beach pit!!!

[facuramone74]

oh man i love thats skates time, look at his board is such cool, i remember when someone got a new board it whas a perfect skate day for sure

[mancarter33]

his body shifts when he does his kickflips

[lolsharks]

LOL hes ollies are mad high

[MrSmileyHasABigDong]

lol wth, his board keeps rising up in the air XD

[MrOlliepop]

good lession i gots ta say

[jakegloveslap]

the only way to distinguish whether its kareem or not, is you see the way he straight-legs all his tricks. hes got nice flat-ground, but he couldnt absorb the drop from a stairset, even if his legs were proportional to his height.

[Snowman13th]

that was keenan milton stupid fuck not kareem

[EApr0ducti0ns]

does he still skate? i haven't heard about him in a while.

[samers34]

no he died in the late 90s go watch the start of the girl yeh right vid

[EApr0ducti0ns]

oh yeh... i forgot about that. what a shame.

[MrButterybrandon]

if your talking about kareem campbell,he aint dead he did a demo in corpus like a month ago

but if your talking keenan milton idk

[EApr0ducti0ns]

haha yeh we were talkin bout kareem campbell. lol nice to hear he still living.

[dans1121]

this was like 10 years ago

[matdoomn]

Keenan Milton died i think through the mid 90s .

[xandeo]

2002.

[matdoomn]

thanks for correcting me good sir.

[fakie5oh]

yes, see his day in the life video

[tigerslick1111]

He recently return to skateboarding with the new City stars skateboard team it seems that theres gonna be a new video in fall of 2010. thats from wikipedia

[krewskater2134]

His boards to. small thats why it looks that way

[iroka15]

[Rg1527]

whats wrong with his kickflips?

[iroka15]

they all suck and are sketchy know get off my fuckin dick.

[Rg1527]

I ask a simple question then you tell me to get off your non existant dick..... whatever, fuckin piece of shit. Literally

[iroka15]

ok you put your 2 cents in now stop thinking about my penis and get a fucking life what makes it so funny i know your bitch ass cant skate and thats why u come to me about shity kickflips???? ...now just drop it.

[whytelynes]

wow talk about memory lane! i had a pair of black Duffs KCKs way back when jeans were super-baggy.

[PwnedByTheBANZAAAI]

lol pause at 0;30 it looks like hes doing a fs flip

[skaterny9599]

wat shoes is he wearing?

[cabdragon333]

Damn I wish I could kickflip that high.

[Twitchehh]

@cabdragon333 damn i wish i could kickflip.

[TRACE703]

CITY STARS IS BACK!

[aguguwin]

he is gonna come back out with axion too.

[RUGGIDSKATA]

what shoes are those

[eyeheartchrist]

Axion

[citystarridin]

they might be his first shoe models Duffs KCK's or maybe a early model of axions but if you rember this vid didnt come out until 1994 and axion released shoes in 1997

[PazzaLesione]

those kickflip are ugly XD

but incredibly popped...

[lmnoj5]

yea i have to agree with that

[Rambo1989]

Kareem Campbell is a great man and will return to the skate industry

[spicyMcHAGGIS9green]

He's such an OG.

[immortalskate]

OG Mudbone

[loveja1]

kareem and prod were the first pro skaters that I met when i was 5, i got to skate a demo with them when they were on tour with the Allstars. Got a picture to prove it,lol

[F4LL3NSKAT3R27]

kinda makes you wonder whether those world industry boards suck as bad as everyone thinks they do. if he pops shit that high on them they cant be that bad. i still wouldnt get one though lol

[bjarnat]

bro its the skater,not the board.

[F4LL3NSKAT3R27]

good call

[Skate0003]

haha i had 1 and it was ight but not as good as goodwoods or w/e u ride

[nimrod9190]

world industries used to be a quality company before it was whored out and sold in toys r us, it held some pioneer skaters including kareem, damn i wish this dude was still around, he was in Trilogy for christsake, anyone in that vid deserves legend status.

[eyeheartchrist]

World Industries still makes pro models and pro logo decks, and they are just as good as the rest, just look in the catalogs.

Kareem still skates, and he's actually pro again. There is rumor of him resurrecting City Stars.

[Almosteasyese]

@nimrod9190 world industries it good...but they trucks is like BRICKS.

[T3n4c1ousD1]

back then world industry boards were the board to get.... if there werent so many new types of boards world industries would still be the board becuz they never advance any of their boards.... + they were bought out by veri flex one of the worst boards to have back then and now... so yeah

[tacrackata]

man he like doesnt skate any more, what happend?

[eyeheartchrist]

He retired for a short period. He's suppose to be pro again, about to resurrect City Stars. :-)

[MrNeilBritto]

cannot wait....urge everyone to go buy them boards

[bigd735]

he said he was gonna come back?

[coolkid134134]

he has a cool style. thats why hes one of my favorite skaters

[bjarnat]

my mom used to do stuff with lexani magazine,and they did a photoshoot with him about 3 or 4 years ago.i got to meet him at the photoshoot where he kickflipped over a set of rims:o

[chesterlp7]

stop spamming dude!!

hahaha

epic lulz

[EloyInfobia]

*****

[royy1234]

holy shit they are massive!

he catchs then before he starts descending

[ahaditube]

Those are great kickflips man

[Henkied]

he got a really really sketchy backside 180, his frontside is clean as hell.

[RandomTimes08]

what happened to it

[eyeheartchrist]

demolished.

[NoLimit2Steeze]

kareem's birthday is Nov. 14 -- i hope to see new footy?

[alexglenny]

his kickflips are amazing

i havnt heard alot from him recently

played old tony hawks and was wondering if he still skated lol

im a more recent skater and iv never heard of city stars

[eyeheartchrist]

He retired a few years ago, but he returned to the pro circuit about a year ago or so. From what I've been told, he's starting City Stars back up again. If you check on THPS games, it has City Stars deck on there.

[BustaCthereal1]

hahaha! i have this video on vhs! mike v taught me to ollie.

[eyeheartchrist]

I watched this video so many times, it's pathetic. But hey, it paid off, because I learned how to skate because of it! I didn't really have anyone to skate with that could teach me at the time, so yea.

[headlisthorseman]

love park RIP

emb RIP

[skate4life511]

ok city stars was cool but p-rod would still be p-rod without it because he had other signing deals before citystars he just chose that one

[Spartan995]

well he has an mtv show in the works. and after that destructo truck he has out he's comin....slowly but surely.:)

[wiiowner2012]

[freestyleSHRED1031]

ya he recently brought city stars back into buisness

[shodakane]

really that was my first board ever wow!

[TheNight3434]

his kickflips r a little messy but besides that hes one of the best

[tarellreddJehovah]

That's cool.. ya i didnt even know, kareem's what it is as far street - well to me'.

[tarellreddJehovah]

retired dont mean he straight up quit all together lol... i knew my favortie dude would be back.. I wounder if lil Reemo skate's now??

[eyeheartchrist]

nah he's not retired anymore...He just turned pro again..and he's starting City Stars back up again. :-)

[Under0athSk8r]

haha i remember city stars from the tony hawk games :)

i thought it was the coolest slogan i have ever heard

[RollaBl0unt]

True he is starting city stars back Up again. Im sk8ing a demo with him tomorrow for finesses skateboards because hes on that team right now. Look it up.

[Spartan995]

[kr3wsk8der]

[shodakane]

[abbazabba626]

[xguineapigx]

i no wth's up with that

[dramsig]

his fs flips... the best ever .

[Real720]

i remember this video! and i also remember that this was the worst kickflip tip ever.

[LilPlanB590]

what happened to him? the last time I saw him he was in a coca cola comercial that came out 3 months ago he's a millionaire now so I guess even legends need to rest.

[eyeheartchrist]

nah he's pro again..he retired for a short period..and there is word about him bringing back City Stars too! Maybe Mike, Paul jr., and all them will return to their roots! :-)

[crazykickflip]

I doubt P-ROD is gonna leave Plan B for city stars..lol

[Spartan995]

if it werent for city stars P-rod wouldnt be where he is now, so if he didnt leave he still has to look back on where he came from.

[devildance92]

hell yeah your right about everything

[Enj01]

u gotts be kidding...

[mexsk8ter]

he has some ugly kickflip...

[dex90skate]
