FREESTYLE SKATEBOARDING!!! Frank Lavalee

[smashsamurai]

Wow. . . I watch a lot of freestyle stuff, but Francis (the guy who broke his ankle) has some moves I've never really seen. GO freestyle!!!

[TheMummy516]

What a coincidence. The biggest attraction in my house are my bowls. (define that however you like)

[MegaDrolletje]

im 12 and im trying to freestyle but its rly not easy can anyone make some vids about it?

[thisisacunt]

skate is my life to ohhoohhhh

[snakeyskater11]

YEAH GO MONTREAL

[WishToBeProooo]

Fuckin' Robots!!!!!!!

[mohammedsoft]

What the Song's name ?? pliiz

[The777JesusFreak]

this guy is sick, and i will say hes one of the best ive seen, but rodney mullen will always be the best

[snowmann09]

we could use a park like that in savannah

[NightshadowWindsong]

truckstand to flip to truckstand and railflip to railstand to railflip, most badass tricks ever for flatland.

[fh492]

lol the descreption saysONE of the best freestyle but everyone knows rodney mullen is the king of freestyle

[514VIDEO]

Rodney Mullen is king! no doubt, but that's why I said one of the best. he is ranked 2nd in the world pro and 1st in AM.

[alspunos]

Didn't he just say 7th in the world?

[fatkidsonbikes300]

@514VIDEO no actually rodney mullen would be placed second, 1st would go to kilian martin, and frank would be in about top 50, there is alot of way better freestylers out there, and he isnt that impressive.

[SQUIZZLER24]

@fatkidsonbikes300 The fact is though, Rodney pretty much invented and owned the style throught it's early days, and matured it into the middle days... Now though - and let's not sugar-coat it - he's getting old. He's 45 now... It's natural that there are going to be younger and more talented prodigies following behind him, because he simply can't keep up. (Not saying what he still does now isn't damn impressive though.)

[IfuckinghateUK]

why is UK soo shit for skateboarding i wich i could move to USA to skate all day 8(

[514VIDEO]

this video is from Canada

[asl3z5]

quebec ?

[514VIDEO]

ya man , Montreal

[The777JesusFreak]

go canada lol

[mikeyf23]

@IfuckinghateUK haha believe me, there's very little decent spots to skate in the US. All the good spots are run down, illegal, or just a park.

[IfuckinghateUK]

@mikeyf23 as long as u living in US then ur lucky

[breakingthefallen]

whats the song's name?

[fruitbat1992]

just tolet you all know.. at 4:36 you can tell his board is specialized for freestyle. the ends are cut a little short so they arent rounded.

[Oiel2fou]

c koi le nom de la musique

[jscSensei]

4:21 is really cool i have never seen that before...

[Chewy7771]

WTF, I didn't even know we had a skatepark in Laval. That bowl looks like a sick ride.

What are the rates at Drooch?

[PEPS165]

cool

[BUJACICHR]

same thing tricks throughout the vid...learn some new ones buddy

[Spida113]

Not trying to say anything against you but, all that freestyle shit he does is pretty much all different and other then that its about the same either way i want to see you try to do all the freestyle shit 2:20

[Spida113]

and 3:00

[Fluudu]

That's what I want to be able to do. Freestyle looks sick and you can get easy money for it in the streets

[sk8r4lifematt]

fuck you men you can t do even the half of those tricks

[BUJACICHR]

i dont think i want to look like a retard when im skating...and i would very much like to have another son

[capusotto1029384756]

@BUJACICHR you can`t do any trick he does

[filcool666]

Hey!! I'm from laval ;P

Pis jsavais pas que yavais des pro dmeme ;p meme si jmen doutais tsé... touka ma tchequer toute vos vidz ;)

[skatemilwaukee]

born to roll!

[Kcpkodi]

skate is my life. good quote man.

[ravergamerer]

Francis Lavaller should play skate aginsed rodeny mullen

[ilovethe360]

not meaning to undermind u but i dont think u can play skate in free style skating

but if so your totally right

[Spuddfluff]

Nope, freestyle is classified by its tricks, you couldnt exactly pull a casper flip on a vert ramp, could you? Impossibles just happen to translate well to street, but the flatland tricks are a much larger part of freestyle than flip tricks.

[Saranir]

That BS flip at 0.48 is a BEAST!

[MBro369]

brilliant vid, and that skatepark looks Great-To-Skate :)

[BONGoz187]

its freestyle streetskating. idoesnt matter at all

[calpiword]

this is street not freestyle down stupid

[jimbo222000]

hecticfreeze freestyle dosent have to be stationary freestyles full name is technical flatland, and street skating borrows most of its tricks from freestyle

[vinoth62]

They're amazing...!!

[hecticfreeze]

isnt freestyle- FREEstyle?

if you need to put a name on your tricks then its not freestyle.

although it generall agreed its stationary flatland, so most of this is street.

[DHeathen1]

Rodney Mullen was doing all that in the 80's and and most of it is now incorporated to streetstyle skating now.. nothing new its old school back in the mainstream thats all!

[bemjamin]

yea... and there was some pogo... and casper...

[ookamison]

true but the one guy francisl avaller he placed like 7nth in the international freestyle comp last year and 1st in the us you gotta watch his part for the freestyle i guess

[loveanianimeme]

that's street

[ookamison]

this is all terrain

[loveanianimeme]

it's still not FREESTYLE

[skateitz]

some of it is, most of it is street though :/

[collinsheets26]

yea...most of it is street

[bigbradohya123]

nice bigspin over pyramid that was great perfect landing!!!!!!!!

[enjoi8218]

hes good but he keeps doing the same tricks

[Streetammo08]

Hes awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheRioting]

my shoe size is 6 i ride a 12 lol

[soirgendwielol]

freestyle is coming back!

[monkeygal247]

a boys size 6 shoe- where does that fit in?

[buckisridin]

now thats some style

[avoidskates]

what boards better

for street a 7.5 or a 8

[514VIDEO]

Depends on your shoe size, most ppl use a 7.5

[avoidskates]

aight sweet

[LightningStrikes89]

7.5forlife!!!

[SkateNinjaStyle]

Yeah, I ride an 8, but my shoe size is 12.

:]

[dj1234nick]

rodney mullen is better

[VolcomStone128]

i would pay to see a freestyle skater primo grind a ROUND handrail ;)

[arvizu1000]

please respond to this.

whats a better board for freestyle, 27.5 or 28.75?

[Zerosk8er32]

27.5 u might want to exsperiment with both

[skaterlozer]

After I saw this, I was more inspired to skateboard. This guy is crazy and it look cool so im going to try some of those tricks. If anyone agrees write back to me or mail me!

[Sylviot]

I saw him today at a demo in canada and he was fucking good!

[cocacola2013]

rodney mullen is better but im not saying this guy is bad at all he still powns...pritty sweet

[edjecte1]

vous parlé francais

[Lambchops9]

koolkid1200 people like u should get a life....u know they were wicked u just need to piss some one off to get satisfaction out of it then be like...... yea i just told them off on a computer!!! omg i'm so cool for doing that. ur a total douche

[cujagu]

I'm pretty sure Rodney Mullen doesn't care if other people do the tricks he invented. If anything it's a tribute to him and his ability to inspire people.

[koolkid1200]

u suck

[keepdoing]

Hey Francis is so amazing:D really fast tricks

[momboyo1]

i like it but i will beat it

[unkownkilla]

Rodney Mullen did not invent freestyle he pironered it big time. Basicly what im saying is 30 percent of the moves he uses where made by other freestyle borders at the time.

[johancrunch]

this isnt riping off rodney mullens moves...... this guy puts some twists on them and he does have style.

[fabinho770]

that is cool, but i can do better oO

[marcinbmx10]

daremne udajom MULLEN-a

[midnighticecream]

cool vid

[redalawi00x]

the good thing about freestyle is you can do it any where!

[skate4christ]

nice park

[fdfgfdfdfdf]

just wondering, is this skatepark dead cuz i hadnt heard of it in a while

[MethLabMedia]

talk about "fancy foot work"

[olliepskate08]

nice ive just made my freeestyle flatland begginner vid check it out

[KeepOnRollinOnBaKeR]

dude ur awesome=)

[tigy2477]

Yeah quebec osti

[sk8cretesure]

Excellent vid. & skating.

[risejamie]

that was one weeird treflip at 1:12

[flatlandsk8erflorey]

frank l's style never turned me on plus skating with tommy harward, aj kohn, jj o'donnell really changed my style far from his

[hsdkahkjcbaksc]

hahaha - skate styles turn you on ? Does your weenier go "boing" when you see someone skate with style ? LMAO

[BBeatMalaria]

Mine does XD

[austindaletarremce]

i would like 2 see him and rondey in a game of skate

[Alex6724]

what r u talking about? all this guys moves r ripping off Rodneys moves, as in they cant be compared cos this guy doesnt have any style, i.e Rodney is far better.

[DjTonino]

the freestyle skater dont skating for its better of rodney or for imitate rodney... its the same you skating for its better of Chris Haslam... its so stupid... and its stupid the people tell "Rodney its better" or this shit. i dont go to the street video and tell he "Chris Haslam its better" or this... all street not have any style because he make various Ollie flips on stairs and grind if land every street pro skater? ... the street skaters kill me i go to tell he this shit... its so stupid

[Ra5mu550n]

"the street skaters kill me i go to tell he this shit" ?? can you please speak some english?

[DjTonino]

ahuahu, i dont speak a lot english. i live in switzerland...

[Ra5mu550n]

haha ohhhh that explains alot

[cman911yo]

thats shit man u guys suck

[99nights2]

with a lil practice he could be better than rodney :)

[Kosic]

I don't think he could, Rodney Mullen isn't a freestyle/flatland skateboarder. He is a street-tech skater. Meaning other street-tech skaters can be better than him. Flatgound, doesn't beat, tech skating on rails, benches, ledges, banks, and other objects.

[DjTonino]

the freestyle skater dont skating for its better of rodney of for imitate rodney... its the same you skating for its better of Chris Haslam... its so stupid... and its stupid the people tell "Rodney its better" or this shit. i dont go to the street video and tell he "Chris Haslam its better" or this...

[skaterboy93x]

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooow

[jasoDAman01]

RODNEY MULLEN, STILL DA MAN!

[dgafstarfighter]

it all looks hard and shit but when you square out the two ends of your board that shit is hella easy....DO NOT ATTEMPT THE POGO WITH ROUND EDGES!!!

[Liquefaction]

if you think that rounding your board is all it takes to do these tricks, then you obviously know next to nothing about freestyle. rounding or squaring the deck is not the difference between landing a trick and not landing a trick. and no, most of these tricks are not hella easy.

[PsykeOut193]

you can actually do pogos with round edges, ive never seen anyone do it with square edges.

never get wheels that are longer than your trucks even tho it makes primo stands easier, you wanna be able to primo slide with the same board

[assa110]

Lmfao,what the fuck are you on?...aiight u try even one thing that you just saw in this video...and tell me when u get outa the hospitle...peace

[PsykeOut193]

delete my second comment, my first one was posted and didnt show up until i reposted it.

[PsykeOut193]

fuck why did it post twice

[PsykeOut193]

rodney mullen is infinitely better even tho he doesnt do his pogos anymore. and flatland freestyling is for whimps. ollie onto a table or something and freestyle, it looks som much better.

[DjTonino]

ok, mullen is better, but the freestyle skater skating for FUN, not for its better of rodney, stop comment "Mullen is better"... -.-...

[PsykeOut193]

rodney mullen is infinitely better, even tho he doesnt do his pogos anymore. and i cant stand flatland freestyling, its for whimps. ollie onto a table or something and freestyle, it looks so much better.

[Liquefaction]

It seems like you're basing your opinion of mullen on this one video. you really can't say who is better. your opinion of mullen is most like influenced by his street tech skating as well-which holds no influence when comparing freestyler to freestyler. if flatland freestyling is for whimps, then street skating is for cock sucking fags.

[PsykeOut193]

hey its just that some ppl think this is the best theyve ever seen. and i wouldnt have said anything if i dont freestyle myself. all you need is confidence and the right technique and practice, its easier to do than street. and i only said FLATLAND freestyling is for whimps. freestyling on tabletops, cars, etc just has a much nicer look and style to it. and without street you wouldnt be able to do primo slides, casper slides, manuals, and all that nice shit. grinds are gay in my opinion.

[placeborick]

nice video. freestyling... not so sure about that but it looks good nevertheless

[xXPrettyPuNkMadXx]

SICK!!

I wanna be good as he is!!

WOWI!!

[weeanderson12]

whoah all i can do is shuve it, casper , primo , pogo

[sablisplay]

WOW he owns

i try that stuff and i can casper,primo,primo flip, and all da average stuff but not like that OMFG

[11chalkie11]

scary mary

[Haiw408]

want to see the best freestylist ever

watch?v=lXUEo9Ro2Bg&NR=1

[colognewarrior]

nah jesus boy isnt my style..

[DjTonino]

Frank lavalle kick ass... one of the best freestyle skateboarder... but dont the best for me... but kick the ass!!
