[tehbossasian]

ewww ahahhaha

[onetwofreeze]

Its koston, seen the whole part. Idiot, he's not white.

[Dedalus0]

Way too many ignoramuses posting horseshit here. This was in December, 92, between Christmas and New Years. I was there. It was definitely Koston, and it was the last trick in the 101 video that came out the next Spring.

That set was known as "the 7" because of the extended fourth step. If you have a problem with it, go back to counting your mama's titties. She has two, but you only sucked on one.

"Sketchy" as this is, it was way, way ahead of its time. The guy deserves credit for it.

[averevoluzion]

i remember some other pro saying in a video or magazine that eric learned switch tre's in his garage driveway outside his house......

2 week's later he did it down these steps.....

i think it was a video might have been a mag i can't remember been a couple of years since i've seen it.....

my point is "2" Fucking weeks after learning switch tre-flips!!!!!

[holymoly06]

all u fkin idiots keep saying its not koston should do your homework better... this one is a classic trick and 1000% sure it is eric koston!!! i think u kids dont even know what EMB is...maybe he looks a little bit darker because they didnt have an HD cam like all u spoiled 13year old kids who know skateboarding since the berrics.../watch?v=CK2LOuuSiw4 u can see the full part with his sw treflip banger at the end right here...

[chinanigans]

it's definitely koston, his white shirt just makes him look darker skinned

[TerraceSk8er97]

hmmm hes changed a lot since 1993, especially the fact THAT HES WHITE NOW

[doglovermw]

[Squirtlecantreflip]

haha, back t hen it was all about tres. gotta love koston.

[kellogs124]

he was dark as hell back then

[ipvnarb]

No, Eric wasn't black back in '93. I saw the original. Since most if not all, skate videos were recorded on VHS tapes back in '93, the conversion of the comparatively poor quality of VHS and the fact that Eric's has naturally dark skin that can be attributed to him being half Thai makes him look much darker than he is in the video.

[iwooot]

y is he black?

[anime2beme]

DUDE HE is black no racisism



[CANTwait4mw]

[916beastin]

[reecy95eya]

@916beastin probably 'cause it was filmed back in the 90's?

[iiSkateLakai]

eric doesnt look that black

[MrJwillrocku]

One of the weirdest switch tres ever. But he still shreds.

[ExpressSkate]

haha thats when koston was on the 101 team

[cjsk8s2]

how come they have always called the emb 7, a 7 stair, but whenever I see video of old Carroll, Chico or Eric Koston footy skating it, every time I see it on video I count the steps and it seems to look like a 6 stair, or at most a small 3 flat 3?

[burritosandsnow]

@cjsk8s2 its hard to see in the vid but the fourth step down is very wide .. so its three steps a wide patch and three more steps .. because of the wide step they called it 7 even though its technically 6

[ryaffgfgfdfgdfgdfgs1]

that dudes black though? wtf

[MustangJohnG]

Nah man, its just called VHS quility.

[skateboardmilitary]

That is NOT Eric Koston.

[jroc2778]

do you even know what koston looked like in 93? Better question were you even born?

[AKAClownface]

no catch

[jroc2778]

hey dude its from 1993 standards were a tiny bit difference.........

[runawayoner]

The industry wasn't even ready for this move back then. Switch skating was evolving at this time and this clip was a major stepping stone!

[AKAClownface]

you sound like a fagg try talking like a skater that shit was gona revolutionize niggas and skateboarding

[chocolateskate95]

steve berry

[GrainedODST101]

this is not eric this is juss sum random black dude no offence lol but good switch skillz

[holdaas1993]

[goskateboarding1000]

[nickpetrachuk]

[sktkillah]

[higzyguitarist]

[neverquitskating]

[ScagAteHer]

2 years before i was born......

[Nilsk8er]

haha no catch

[Juantron2000]

haha i cant believe switch tres even existed back in 1993.

back then skating wasnt all about style, nowadays that switch tre would have to be ultra steezy to make it a finisher

[areyasure]

man, skateboarding has progressed!

[WHATKIDS123456]

not koston.

[najkeyNator]

o really? you must be a young fella.. look for erics part in the "101 - falling down" video from 1993.. its erics last trick

[VegasSkateCulture]

@najkeyNator koston has been pro for quite a while.

[LURKskateboarding]

@WHATKIDS123456 ur so dumb

it was in a transworld from best switch tres ever

and this was one of them

[switchheelfront360]

thats at embarcadero?

[pared1986]

yeap, it is.

[rickygouin]

hahahaha that kid is so black hahahah!

[youtub199]

koston aint black

[mr111bertil]

yaeh kostons a nigga ????? faijl

[jigawhen]

ahah adds in the Alt+130 on the tré lol

[fablecompulsive]

thats like a black eric koston ... he is down with the butteryass tan ;)

[ekono209]

dude i was born on this year.

[fablecompulsive]

sick lol

[Georgeocurtis]

gotta love that sketchy, 90's style.

[SkateTFL]

@Georgeocurtis gotta love how yo ass isnt in the early 90's landing switch tres down anything

[Georgeocurtis]

@SkateTFL You're right; I wasn't even born then. I was actually serious too. I like that style.

[ipvnarb]

@Georgeocurtis Sketchy 90's style? Really? You do realize that Koston SWITCH tre-flipped EMB damn near 20 years ago right?  I skated there back when I was a skater. A lot of people would have trouble pulling a switch tre down EMB today.

[Georgeocurtis]

@ipvnarb ha yeah, and I was sincere in saying that I like the style. You can't deny that style was super sketchy back then. Skateboarding was sort of less evolved.

[more310k]

erick koston doesnt have black hands

[jamesm225]

ha i love how he just kinda land on the board wen it hits the ground w.e though still sick and he could probably do it way way nicer now

[ChrisSkatesEnjoi]

dude he looked so dark in this haha

[geoffskateCBR]

fuck that could have gone either way

[guisk8her]

he didnt catch it because he wasnt used to do switch tre back then. now he can catch them easily

[MrIrishKid]

He landed clean but it was really low and ugly. But it was switch, so its cool. He looks alot darker back then

[skate26boarder]

that was a weird lookin tre he didnt really catch it well but hes mad good now

[stsk8tr]

haha i like it when Mo, and Berra, and some older guys like koston, or caroll will all argue who's better, and they'll say, I had footage when u went pro, and i had footy before you were even pro. and shit. it's funny

[SEPINEO]

same:D

[Liveoncefool09]

1 year before i was born lol

[Acidus23]

That was 1993!!! DAMN!

[Girlsk8er14]

that was weird but amazing

koston is amazing for that matter
