[beezonaswarm420]

hahah killah beez shirttt, my nigga

[FallenXaustx]

haha you guys are arguing over countries and shit. Dude he's from Scotland, im from Scotland im just proud to have some talent coming from somewhere near me. Calling him british is right but i like to think of him as Scottish because it means i have something to be extra proud about. Im not bothered bout the hate between scotland and our associations with the rest of the UK in the slightest, all i care about is that he is so good on a board.

[patmoke]

radness!

[rudidower]

That bank to wall ride, in the photo on his wall, is so rough. You need big wheels and heaps of speed. Respect to john. I'm sure the writing on the wall's still there.

[PaleRiderArbroath]

[mgrobis]

[PoiTricks]

why do you have to there dude? its just asking to start shit with people.

[xxxnaileddownxxx]

Just conducting a little social experiment...thank you for participating.

[emceeballer1]

LMAO you silly Europeans...deep down you all wish you were here...you hide behind all your lame ass shit talking...we dont talk shit about you...know why? we dont give a shit LOLOL

talk normal?

[mistaende665]

may i point out that you are talking shit about europeans in the same comment that you said that you don't talk shit about europeans.

contradiction?

[emceeballer1]

@mistaende665

um, not really? look again.

I said we don't go around talking shit at every chance like those cute british kids..."yanks this/that - fat americans" blah blah blah same shit every time, unprovoked; so I say, yeah, you guys suck too but I just don't go around saying it all the time. so yeah, I NEVER said I DON"T talk shit, I just don't run around saying shit every time.

not really a contradiction.

[mistaende665]

alright, fair enough. i suppose that i misunderstood what you meant. my bad dude.

[squirtleenblastoise]

i also missunderstod what u meant man. my fault 2

[raslucio]

you like british boys

[Nietsro]

@raslucio British people are from Britain. Scottish people are from Scottland. Get a fucking education.

[raslucio]

@Nietsro i love you

[Nietsro]

@raslucio That's nice..

[switchkrukz]

@Nietsro

scotland is part of g.britain. so scots can be called brits

[HiTEqMETHOD]

@Nietsro

Oh the irony involved here....Scotland is part of the United Kingdom aka Great Britain. So they're not actually wrong in referring to him as a brit. I think you should think before you make such brash statements regarding other people's level of education when it seems you the one lacking in that area.

[Nietsro]

@HiTEqMETHOD I think I can agree on that one, actually, so a certain level.

[MAKER6450]

@HiTEqMETHOD the scots dont like the brits man.

calling a scot a brit is insulting.

scotland didnt wana be about of the United Kingdom....so i get it....you dont.

[mistaende665]

you're just straight up making fun of Americans and then when someone responds in defense of their country you try to say that their response has proven your "point". you're like that kid on the playground that would hold his finger centimeters away from someone's face, and then when they hit it away, the kid starts a fight with them, saying that they hit him first. its people like you that bring out the worst in everybody.

[xxxnaileddownxxx]

I think that it's time to develop a sense of humor and irony. Im born and raised in the US, in the Northeast. Learn to laugh at yourself, youll go through life a lot more joyfully.

[mistaende665]

alright, fair enough. when i responded to your comment, i assumed that you were not American and just making fun of us, that is why i responded the way that i did. i suppose that my response does just prove your point. now i see what you were trying to do. my bad, dude.

[xxxnaileddownxxx]

Perhaps I was a bit obnoxious too. It's too easy to push hot-buttons in such an anonymous medium. No hard feelings.

[mistaende665]

no hard feelings

[pongrocks12]

that was the most mature tension building conversation on youtube.

[mistaende665]

haha

[theridelife]

your quoteble man

[mistaende665]

haha thanks?

[MAKER6450]

@mistaende665 everyone is commenting thier hate towards america just becausde this guy is from europe?

pathetic!

[pnutskater96]

the skate vid they show him skating i have it zero or die

[sheeplikesganja]

lol theey are talking about him being like the first really smart skater....what about rodney mullen....hes a genius

[Imabigkiidnow]

you gotta know alot to flip a board like he does XD

[DaCro313]

in my opinion every pro is genius i takes a lot of thinking to get tricks

[sheeplikesganja]

lol scots are awesome.....im scottish:P

[ohshitdudewtf]

i'm scottish american :]

glad there's a scottish pro

[19jcrum94]

Stu Graham is pro for Creature

[WokMaster7000]

I was just thinking, he's probably an American citizen now anyway.

[24onepiece]

he lives in san diego now

, u fuckking moron

[jose3509]

this dude is a beast

[Joscha5]

Wokmaster7000 your completely clueless

[southstar999]

WokMaster7000 your a fanny style is not what you wear or what music you listen to. style is the way you skate when your having fun, not forced style not copied or imitated just how you roll when your enjoying yourself, well thats what I think. So how can europeans not have a style? are you saying that everyone in Oregon skates the same and everyone in La skates the same and everyone in New York skates the same?

[WokMaster7000]

No, but there's no such thing as Euro style. Unless that means skating in Wu Wear while being European.

[WokMaster7000]

Easy, easy, easy. Don't flip out, Euro skaters just don't have their own style yet. There's nothing specifically European about any of those skaters. There isn't such a thing as a euro style. In the US you can break it down by region, there's regional style. Unfortunately, Euros havent developed their own style yet. Maybe someday they will. Blueprint is the MLS of skateboarding. Though dedicated to skateboarding, ya can't really say that they're at the forefront of anything really.

[jonnyd89]

your an idiot if you think peoples styles should be determined by region or country, any real skateboarder will tell you that a skateboarders style is personal to them and not where there from.

Some of the best skaters in the world and the best styles in the world have been British and European so stop chatting bollocks and grow up

[olly555]

Euro skaters made style son! americans just look like robots when they skate

[WokMaster7000]

Yeah, but all those skaters are pretty much Americanized. Why do they have to skate in trucker hats and baggy clothes? Dont they listen to Libertines? Im just saying these Euros dont have their own style yet. For goodness sakes WuTang? Whats wrong with Scottish rap?

[jonnyd89]

Trucker hats and baggy clothes? you think thats what all those skaters I listed wear?. Your a fucking idiot mate. U clearly know nothing about skating and definatly not about european skateboarders

[WokMaster7000]

"you think thats what all those skaters I listed wear?".

Actually yes. All you need to do is, like, watch them to see that. Don't get angry and be a hater. I just think its going to be a while before Euros develop their own style and truly understand skateboarding. Blueprint is like the LA Galaxy or something...a bit of a novelty.

Rattray even sounds American. Whether its WuWear (good grief) one minute or American Baseball and Trucker hats the next, he is fully Americanized.

[jonnyd89]

What you on about europeans dont understand skateboarding? Your the biggest dick ever you think tom penny dosnt understand skateboarding? If you understood skateboarding you wouldnt come on here n start slagging off other skateboarders u wank

[nickcook3693]

were talkin bout skate style, not clothers ya faggot.

[WokMaster7000]

Scotland is pretty chill. Nice to see a Euro that isn't totally annoying.  But it would be better if Euros got their own style. They aren't their yet, but at least they have Rattray. Pretty much the Landon Donovan of European Skateboarding.

[jonnyd89]

What the fuck are you on about "nice to see a euro that isnt tottally annoying" and "would be better if euros got their own style"

Tom Penny, Geoff Rowley, Arto Sarri, The whole cliche team, the whole blueprint team. Thats just a few european skateboarders, none are totally annoying and they all have there own styles. So shut the fuck up you know nothing

[Snaple00]

just wait until you hit your slum...and start thinking about how to get better...I've reached the point at which I wonder wtf am I doing? Why aren't I having more fun skateboarding...and then the answer came...I need to watch other people skate in person or on a video and that will get me psyched up on skateboarding again...I need more people to skate with and I don't want to lose this fuckin awesome feeling.

[animalchin101]

his scottish accent is fading to american :(

[grannysmith1213]

i have a teacher that skates hes good too

[Sithping]

Aw the best John! Do u remember those drunken nites at the art school wae Si fox & big broon? On the way back to the flat u were still rattling out the 360 flips. Cheers Herbie

[lyife]

[yojoe71]

[vilsburg]

[vilsburg]

[samoan22]

[noteabove91]

[MAKER6450]

[aguguwin]

I did headbutt someone once. I took it upon myself to do the flying headbutt manuver

[BoondockSaint10175]

The headbutt part was the shit. Makes me proud to be half-Scot, even though I'm from America.

Quarter Norwegian, too. Got fuckin English in me too, almost as bad as French but not quite.. haha. Keep reppin for Scotland, John!

[stewlegg]

[tekmek123]

Holy shit i know that "bomb hills not countries" slap shirt

[torythelion502]

[jack94crum]

[shanecrosswontbefrgt]

[ScottishViking1975]

He's not got an american accent. Thats just a scottish Guy speaking slow enough for Americans to understand. And It's Rat-tray

[trefleak05b4]

[kyle6fabio]

" i did headbutt someone once"

[nomi1990]

[Rahtings67]

[Rahtings67]

John's from Aberdeen, Banchory to be precise. Live in the 'deen, look out for ''H'MIN BAM'' local skate vid by Alex Craig. Scots only, also has parts from Div, Stu Graham and Colin Kennedy. peep that...

[johnnyXsniper]

[BlackLabel78]

[RykerFilms]

He's so chill.

[Rahtings67]

bah, you can hear the yankee twang appearing. can't wait to see him in the Deen again, he makes it all look far too simple...

[GavDSK]

[tattiebags]

get a grip ya wank

[Joelikesmoney]

I agree!

[addictiveapple]

that is an aberdeen accent ya cunt

[morrisseyismydad]

hes from aberdeen

[saveandquit]

i always thought John Rattray was american

go figure

[oldschoolvibes]

A friend of mine used to go to the same contests as Rattray in the UK back in the mid 90's, and they normally placed 1st and 2nd ( Rattray normally first) in the sponsored section. Rattray has made it to the top level of skating, while my friend was close but couldn't quite make it.

Just goes to show there isn't too much difference between a top skater and a talented wannabe. Not taking anything at all away from Rattray though, he's an amazing skater and deserves to be where he is today!

[oldschoolvibes]

John is slowly getting a great American accent...mixed with just more than a little Scots of course!

[vunamese]

rattray seems like a really cool guy

[victoriaboy55]

hes irish

[kickouttheyuppies]

SCOTTISH

[kickouttheyuppies]

SCOTTISH

[CollinsHill246810]
