Aaron Artis in Blind What If

[2ftsk8r]

Just learned this dude lives near where I use to live and a lot of people run into him at spots n shit. I'm pissed that I moved now.

[jhoosto48]

last trick is so overlooked. he took a super blown out spot and skated it differently than anyone. in my opinion one of the sickest tricks, if not the sickest trick to go down at that spot

[moojyfukers]

@justindudeee aye hes comin back with a new vid real soon. idk for who but hes gettin his tricks back. skating with this guy first hand is dope

[wickawickawick]

@justindudeee he broke his leg but hes making a strong come back

[circaskater10]

i remember watching this part when i first started skating, i shit my pants at the boardslide 1:19

[YoungLewcTV]

Dude Aaron Artis skates at 56 skatepark in Tacoma, Wa all the time. I skate with him all the time. I didn't know he was pro til one of my friends told me. No wonder why he had the hook ups on all the shoes and boards.

[DrewDeez23]

0:11 thats right next to my house and i see people skating there all the time and i have never seen anyone go that big.

[hollywoodjokerpicalo]

this video is awesome. the music is good and totally matches the skating. except Ronni Cragers part.

[toxictwin7]

they did a demo in my town but aarons leg was broken so he couldnt skate =(

[moojyfukers]

@toxictwin7 hes getting his tricks back though

[goddamitdevin12]

song

[magtownrep]

Aaron is fucking sick. Definitely makes me proud to be a Seattle area skater. I'ts too bad, I really thought that he was going to be a TOP pro by now. he was coming up. Not enough dudes out there reppin' the Northwest. Psyched on Cory Kennedy though. We need at least one guy to carry the torch!

[MrNeilBritto]

@magtownrep

Isnt Gravette frm Seattle ?

:S

[EZls]

@MrNeilBritto Yeah watch the "Beware of Sasquatch" video its all Northwest skaters. Also I'm pretty sure the majority of the skaters on the Creature team (oh and Bacon team) are from the Northwest too. Oh and Silas Baxter Neil is always reppin' the Northwest as well haha @magtownrep should know this if he's really from the Northwest.

[magtownrep]

@EZls I know what you're saying, this is a really good time for Northwest skaters. I'm just saying that even though there are more pros (and ams for that matter) from around here than ever before, there can always be more. Who knows, maybe in a couple of years the scene here will be as big as SF was in the nineties. Then again I guess its cool that there are so many underground rippers up here.

[moojyfukers]

@magtownrep hes getting his tricks back though dude. hes comin back

[crush135789]

he doesnt ride anymore he lives right by me in tacoma washington he just blew his knee out recently

[JoshKasnicka666]

who does he ride for now?

[ps3bapekill1]

best part i think

[jesros213]

hahahahah fuck all you people....... hes my neighbor hahahahaah skate with him every once in a while

[cyrax]

@jesros213 he still live in fullerton?

[pletchersucks]

Met him during a trip to the snack bar during the skateballs premiere in Olympia. No one else was around but he had his daughter with him. Super cool dude, great skater.

[bradwjensen]

Love the song. Great skating.

[loveskating71]

he is awesome

[eddoubledeezy]

aaron is fuckin dope. i saw him skating the east 56th park in tacoma wa and he was doing the tre flip front board on the waist high down rail they have and kickflip melons over this huge box that sat on top of a launch ramp. dude has massive pop.

[FlyinRussian]

this part inspires me

[dontfearthereefer85]

why didnt he have a part in the new blind video?

[brandonjameshoyt]

he hasnt been on blind for a long ass time

[EFFFINGJOSH]

wow, i remember watching this video when i first started skating. such a great video. if i could go back to being little and learning everything again, i'd do it for the joy of skateboarding.

[labreckcanskate]

i know right..tricks were harder to learn but trying them over and over again and actually landing them is the best feeling

[DJMCA561]

@EFFFINGJOSH right on dude i watched this video as a little kid trying to learn how to ollie just by watching :D

[stevo798]

man, this guy is so raw, i havent seen sk8ing like this in forever, great video and amazing skater

[SunnnyDayEstate1]

everything this dude does is like 5 decks high at least. seriously skating needs to go back to this , not this nollie 3 flip bullshit

[SK828]

dude is so raw in person, he tears up everything in his path, and he is always on. Tacoma living legend and beyond.

[iheartskatinNY]

this part is pretty embaressing

[hellomatze]

the kickflip chief

[MAKER6450]

pure magic :)

[MAKER6450]

arrrrrhhhhh, fuck i wish my leg was better....this guys having so much damn fun...im going through mega skate withdrawls.

[cluelessrar]

I think the music makes his part too boring

[Theratinthehouse]

he broke his leg?

[pletchersucks]

his part was pretty sick in skate balls

[RyanShecklerLoverin]

daamn. you're great :D

[JDP000109]

dammn kickflip melon hollywood high.

i love how he hit it that way too.. i've never seen anyone do that.

[aznmidgetskater]

and that was the 16 too!

[iCordjc]

Wow, this is pretty nice

[ookiecookie8594]

i think the filming makes him look worse then he is

[dmanschaumbizzie]

I saw this guy at this new Tacoma Washington skate park. Hes not pro anymore but hes fucking amazingly good. He did big flip board on this tall ass rail and did nollie back lip on it.

[thaimo23]

Where's the new skatepark in Tacoma?

[dmanschaumbizzie]

56st street. Its a pretty good park. Best in Tacoma by far

[thaimo23]

Thanks man. Do you know the cross street? I just looked on the Metro Parks website and it didn't list one on 56th.

[iiooioooi]

worst so far ...

[Slugsalter]

Aaron Artis is a good guy like all you say. Me and my friend were just skating at this spot and we saw him there. He was like fs fliping this tall ledge and grinding it and stuff. He was about to leave and he just handed us this huge thing of wax to wax up this spot. He didnt really look like a pro at first.

[ZombieMoron]

Where is the place in the beginning with all the 3 sets?

[skatechatham]

3 sets place is in Melbourne I believe

[patrickj25]

just goes to show that if you dont have an image or visad in skateboarding and arent to marketable you could have all hte skill in the world and still get slept on and forgotten,

[blackreynolds]

this guy is way good mad pop

[sk8erboy310]

man the blind team doesnt get enough credit, there one of the best teams ive ever seen

[greenpick]

i just skated with this guy the other day he lives a few blocks away in tacoma washington if you ever wana meet him hit me up. hes a real cool dude.

[DirTyOhGee]

Oh hell yeah Arron! You make a Tacomian proud! ONE ONLY SKATEBOARD MANG!!!

[thatslifeee]

dude... having stood atop that 16 stair handrail/fence than he kickflip grabbed, i can honestly say thats the best trick ive ever seen . those spikes could fucking SHANK you

[mathiasgandy]

Tell me about it--that kickflip grab was insane--i had to replay and pause it a few times.

[kewlaznguyxD]

he skates at my skatepark hes hella good kickflip boardslide..

[dinosaursdie43]

first of all, aaron artis quit blind and hes skating with this local team in tacoma washington and he always skates at stwart heights (56) skatepark and i watch him skate all the time. and hes still getting free shit from the local team and whoever talks shit about him is a fucking loser and needs to go get a life cause you dont know what your talking about

[bdis89]

dude he's pro...

skateboarding aint about money when your that good, let alone quit because salary, fuck that man its called bliss

[AndyAzz25]

Can someone please tell me the artist song, and name from Aaron Artis part, or the whole soundtrack that is on the actual video, or at least the one aired on fuel t.v. I believe the name of the song from Aarons part is "The Circle Draws Heat", but I am not sure who sings it i think its somebody from Shape Shifters with El Scatterbrain. If someone could help with this I would greatly appreciate it cause the soundtrack is dope, and if anyone knows if fueltv and the original are the same soundrack

[Fatmanofwaffles]

fuel t.v. changed almost everyones song in the o.g. vrsion so yeah

[Fatmanofwaffles]

hs got steez. What is the song?? please helpive been trying to find this in a minute

[AndyAzz25]

I believe it is by Marvin gay prob called day by day, on this website you can download this song

[AndyAzz25]

Marvin Gaye, where are we going?

[Fatmanofwaffles]

[mikey132450]

[yourmomspanties]

[firedevil400]

man, i can never find a blind aaron artis etenral life deck gets me pissed

[MATTCHEWONYOU411]

cuz hes not on blind anymore nor is he even a pro

[firedevil400]

serious....why?

[MATTCHEWONYOU411]

cuz he wasnt getting paud enough or so i heard so he quit thats just a rumor from one of his appearent relatives

[greenpick]

no i know him he lives just a few blocks away in tacoma. he didn't like how the pro thing was goin and the stuff he had to do. he is a rehab consultant not for drugs but for like people who break legs and shit i know because he is my brothers rehab consultant. he skates 56 skatepark in tacoma with us all the time and hes still hella good.

[skatentape]

he got married. and im pretty sure thats why. i could be wrong but i know he got married

[GGKV1oo]

doesnt he ride flip now... or the other way around

[GGKV1oo]

wait nvm hahaa my mistake

[firedevil400]

[412936522]

amazing kickflip bs grab

[mcmonkeys1]

Beautiful part

[lakai993]

to me this was my favorite part but everyone else killed it

[additionned]

nigga got stile

[hollaatyourfather]

Marvin Gaye - Where are we going.

[annaraio]

what's the name of this song??

[Sk8ballersd7]

alot of dese r in almost round 3

[footyskatevideo]

he's really good, like the tre flip over the ditch and the kickflip melon are beyond amazing. but there are a few clips with a little questionable steez. and don't just rate this comment bad and entirely disagree, actually watch it, you'll notice some clips have some pretty forced/fake steez.

[systemax2]

you're right dude. i never noticed it before, but on a lot of tricks he does some late gives that are distracting and make the trick look worse. like he tries to bend his knees too much but after he's already landed. he still rips and i love this part.

[chancerz253]

i see him everyday at this skatepark in spanaway i saw him today as a matter of fact hes hella raw

[zenkicookies]

this guy is so good, so much steez.

[RATTxFINK]

wheres :39 at

[adiosk8rdude2]

dude if he can ollie a picnic table he can ollie like jeez!

[Dubman4]

kickflip to melon!! thats fucking sick!!!

[Brand0nv11]

Ya know, he has some nice 360 flips for sure. Especially over that big gap on the bank.

[blejza12]

1.42 It's perfect

[logangee]

Nice song by Marvin Gaye, when i used to ride i would listen to this song when i was just pumping to get to where i was going...nice song for riding, try it out.

[Birdhowse]

you're so right

[saikasha712]

Well anyway, he's still married^^ I think it's sweet :) He's back home now..

[wufei31]

awesome :D

[Joshpunksk8]

the last clip must hav hurt if he baild it!

he is good!!!

[enjoiNirvana]

i agree completely with the description. ive never even heard of this guy till now and he fuckin shreds

[runeplayer12345]

he as 1 of the best parts

[MJF49]

reason why he doesnt get enough credit it maybe because there was a total of i think 1 switch trick in his part? and alot of his part was kickflips..

he is a good skater and all, but just saying.

[metalhead5296]

sick

[shitpants911]

i agree with the person who posted the video...he dosnt get enough credit for the skating he does...i mean look at the vry begining one of the sickest things ive ever seen...in my oppinon it was way rader than the leap of faith wich was done by jamie thomas

[zerosk8r272]

i think his tre flip at :14 is amazing!

so clean and high

[RyanVolcom99]

and Bob was famous waay before he jumped into the grand canyon

[Mike3600]

"aaron artis doesn't get enough credit for the skating he does " he doesnt get enough credit because he doesnt do anything truley amazing, he just skates which is all good, but if you wanna get credit and a lot of attention, you have to do something incredible. Take Bob Brunquist for example, he was good, didnt get that much attention though, and then he jumped into the grand canyon and then everyone started talking about him.

[lhleffa]

shut up! bob always had a lot of atention... even being in the new york times once...

[jeffhillbombshills]

Yeah, take Bob Burnquist for example... he did 50-50 to base-jump into the Grand Canyon. I'd rather spend my life as an unnoticed skateboarder.

[RyanVolcom99]

kickflip melon over the fence at hollywood high isn't amazing?

[emericanskater628]

fagget

[joeymcdoodoo]

who r u calln a faggot i have hangd wit dis guy n guaranteed he will beat ur ass switch dont let me catch u writn dumb shit like this again or pray to ur god that i dont get SAS on u

[emericanskater628]

it was a response to someone else asshole

[joeymcdoodoo]

shut the fuck up fag no one was talking to you dang its not like u check ur youtube file constatly..............or do u????????????? lol FAG just stop it aint worth it

[EdwardGein69]

your a homosexual.

[SkateNCreate90]

His last trick is sooo insane.

[eddydehond]

insane idd :D

[rapsk8board]

what's the song of this part please ?

[screenboy02]

Larry Mitzell & Edward Gordan - Where Are We Going

[x20Cinema]

Marvin Gaye...

[leinicke666]

any one whos wondering song is

marvin gaye-where are we going

[leinicke666]

thats my old school in 1;47

its in san pedro cali

[neyrinckSk8]

i was stoked at 2.10

[koroqatal319]

I drool over the spot at 1:40

[zadrazil]

what a chilled out style and that last trick at hollywood high is insane i wonder if he's still on globe

[prsk8ter143]

not much switch but good a regular

[0n3b1o0d]

00:46 - 00:56 is that area that rodney mullen did that sweet flip trick off, it was like the 540 double flip sex change or something similar.

[seanmalbright]

soooo many kickflips, but soo good

[macdaddymomma]

go to w w w dot gofuckyourself-alessandraafabz­-dot com...and go see the many way's you can go fuckyourself and stop commenting gay advertisements about local singles..cuz they're all fat biker dudes..so go fuck yourself......

But other than that Absolutely Amazing Part Aaron doesn't get 1/2 the credit he deserves..

[brazilianlucas99]

amazing part

[kudzu720]

wow, so nice

[edazshanna]

easily my favorite sk8er right next to jake brown who had the hardist fall ive ever seen about a week ago in the X Games

[saikasha712]

Aaron's one of my cousins^^ only slightly famous one I got, but it's cool he's in a video! He's out of skating for a while just so you know..going to school and busy being a new father for a while from what my aunt says^^

[wufei31]

is he still sponsored or do you know? and do you know how long it'll be till he starts getting back into skating again?

[saikasha712]

he's not part of Blind anymore as far as I know (they didn't pay him enough apparently?), but he'll probably get back into skating in a few years, because right now they're busy figuring out how to move from florida back up to WA and go to school...I get this all from my grandma so, dunno if that's exactly what he's doing right now, but yea, he'll mos. def. get back into skating.

[Rukus103eryan]

No, that's not why he disappeared from the industy. After he started getting hooked up, he realized that most of the skaters making it in the industry were only doing it for the money, not for the fun of it. He left all his sponsors and disappeared. He moved out the baton rouge, la and skated often with ben moore and rukus locals there. I think I stayed for maybe three months. He's going to have a pretty good amount of clips in the full-length video i'm making for rukus.

[micshaz]

if thats the case then he has my respect. i always liked his skating too heh

[stan369]

watchin it now on extreme channel whats the tune in the back called?????

[wufei31]

shit i knew it, but i just forgot it. damn

[killstep]

I knew the kid growin up....in fact I used to skate with him in his driveway. His parents were cool enough to have quarter pipes, manual pads and small curbs and rails scattered throughout his driveway. This was back in the day...we were 11 years old. Homie taught me how to kick flip. His older brother was good to, but he gave it up like me.

[plasticjesus108]

at 00:44 it looks like hes doing a melon over the bus

[cosmicoshh]

is the best, is sick

what is the name of song?

[kronikkloud]

i would never stop kickflippng if i could kickflip like him

[PrincetonFilms]

hehe my last name is artis and my uncles is...aaron artis but hes not this dude lol

[satorimovementnigga]

such good style!

[newbeachinvasion]

YES! I went to hollywood high acouple weeks ago and was wondering why Ihaven't seen anyone go over the fence to the sidewalk!

[2paco2]

Seems like he doesn't get alot of credit

Where are we going by Marvin Gaye

[spdrmnky3]
