Damn I remember growing up watching pat, lavar, and marcus skate when i was 8 years old. We all stayed in the sunset.... BIG UPS! Glad to see you're still doing it....
dammmmn so glad to c lavar mcbride skating just like he did in the 90's. I heard he quit skating the first time in late 90's and became fat crack head and good to see him skating tite
I remember when I lived in SF in 2000, skating at Pier 7. One day, Lavar randomly showed up in some running shoes, no board at all. He sat down and we talked for a few, nice guy. Then he borrowed my board and killed it, even in those goofy shoes. SO good.
You guys don't even know how much of this is switch for you guys bitching about mongo. Dude's from the 90's when they hardly did flip in flip out shit like guys do now and mongo wasn't that uncommon then. Best recognize
@weirdoadrian123 its MONGO. mango is a fruit kiddo. the embarco days are old skool heads that make the 'up and comers.' the youngsters dont know nothing bout Lavar. you gotta love him, but you can't hate him
whaaaaaaaaat!!!! lavar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???? Marcus brother! straight legend! Kareem Campbell,Enrique Lorenzo,Lavar,Marcus, Shilo Greathouse and Daewon Song, was the squad back then!
People talking shit on mongo for switch are just idiots or too young to know better. Skaters coming up in the 90's almost all pushed mongo switch.
JB Gillet, Kalis, Koston, Mayhew, Enrique Lorenzo, pretty much all my favorite pros pushed mongo, so of course I did the same. I still do.
It's only in the newer generation of skaters that came after the 2000's boom that "mongo" was seen as a negative thing so kids started coming up pushing regular for both.
@weirdoadrian123 good for pros and you cause i push mongo and ive had people ask me if i pushed mongo cause they couldnt tell when i would skate...i geuss im just that good...lets just pay attention to ones skating and the love they have for it and stop making it a style contest...
its crazy ppl realy get that into it to talk bad about someone like Lavar. i guess its a diff generation but , check out his old videos, and do the homework. thats a don right there. so pumped to see new footy of him.
A true Frisco vet. I remember seeing Lavar in Union Square when it still had the ledges, he rolled thru, hit the cleanest switch crook first try, then skated off. One of the illest n most underrated dudes who ever touched a board, straight up.
The ONLY thing I don't like about this vid is the dickhead rhyming in the back. That's literally it. Outside of a million other MC's I could think of who have a better style than Jay-Z, when it comes to "style", this song and this vid part just don't mix.
@7waystowin You won! You totally convinced me to love Jay-Z. Now I think he's awesome. Now I don't think he was one of the main culprits in degrading one of my favorite musical forms since I was a little kid growing up in NYC during the 80's. Thank you for changing my whole view of him.... oh yeah, and my sexual preference too. Now that I finally like Jay-Z - like you - I'm totally into chicks now and am not a faggot. I'm over it, I've changed...... But you're still a stupid fuck.
Straight street skating legend right here. OG. Lavar came back and killed the SF library gap. Damn, I remember back when he went to town on Hubba Hideout and would throw down endless lines at USC. Glad to see you're holding it down again, Lavar.
@devinnnnnnnnnnnnnn55 koston, kalis, and countless others push "mongo" switch...they all suck too by your definition then. "first mongo pusher" youve seen in a long time eh. you dont know what you're talking about - you just thought it sounded knowledgeable. dont sweat it though - common mistake!
damm dont shit talk the og like im 20 yrs old and i even no whats goo with lavar hes been doin this shit for a long time.. dont bad talk him .. im happy to so hes maken a come back in the game yua so what hes not goin all craze down sets and rails hes still got all those ledge tricks on alot of ppl.
It's so nice to watch a guy like Lavar skating like this these days! For so long we wondered what the fuck had happened to him and the guy appears now doing all this amazing tricks with unmatched style!
remember wen people used 2 do lines??? dats right u little young ass mother fuckers dont know shit about dat!!! Lavarz str8 gangsta. watch him in trilogy and c a tru masta at work!!ONE!!!
How can we reach you? We'd love to cast you for "Boarding School" the new reality show about 9 people who are paired into 3 groups of 3. Each group has a skateboarder, a snowboarder & a surfer who need to teach each other their particular skills in order to compete against the other teams. 6 Skateparks, 6 Mountain Peaks, 6 hot beaches. Send us an inbox with your info.
i just cant get over this dude's style! so sick, old school. represents affiliate really well. thanks for skating my home city man, makes me feel proud.
Everyone saying Lavar has weak style need to watch his part in Trilogy. He is ridiculous! I honestly couldn't tell if he was goofy or reg after I saw it (the mongo added to that I guess). And in the late 90s I saw plenty pros skate in person and Lavar was by far one of the best and most consistent. I remember him and Willy Santos being really impressive in person. Most pros would fukk up a trick 30 times strait before they'd catch it. Homie ripped it w ease & steeze. T Hawk is awful at street.
@colabo15 Lavar is one of the original skaters that made people put emphasis on style, yall wouldn't even be commenting on style without OG's like Lavar. All the haters hating on style dont even have style when yall are watching youtube videos at home, let alone riding a skateboard.
@serranoup I never liked his style. Some tricks he does with nice style but most of his style I never cared for. You want style? Gino Iannucci, Kareem Campbell, Jeremy Klien...that is style.
If you post something about a guys style, you may as well post a link to your footage so we can all see who is doing the talkin and what they got to back it up with. Fair is fair?
Damn I remember growing up watching pat, lavar, and marcus skate when i was 8 years old. We all stayed in the sunset.... BIG UPS! Glad to see you're still doing it....
