Firing Line: Grant Taylor

[RalphHenryHAHA]

easy to look at, hard to do. whew!

[TheDURHAMSKATER97]

The frontside air was beautiful

[jimi88]

Plus he can skate everything with ease. That goes way further then the nyjah shit.

[jimi88]

If you all saw grant skate in person, you would understand why people go crazy for the shit he's doing. Plus he has an extremely sick style. Nyjah is gnarly, but he's no Grant.

[realskaterbnb23]

bet it was first try...

[elwoop]

Impressive frontside and backside air . Im speechless

[TheMorran123]

bilbao?



[mmack519]

blasting those airs...

[bombhillsnotme2]

I'd kill to have this line and nothing else in skateboarding. Just roll in every park and do this exact line and leave. More fun than a kickflip

[Procrastiskater]

Appreciate all types of skating for what they are, because that's what makes it the unique sport that I love.

[Procrastiskater]

Thank you to the top comments. I know you kids are upset that Nyjah didn't win, but does that mean you have to take your stupid anger out on Grant? Its hard to even compare the two, they skate COMPLETELY different. I think Nyjah is great at rails, and doing flip tricks, but Grant is good at shredding bowls and skating fast. Do you realize how stupid you guys sound when you whine how much better Nyjah, or Mike Mo is then Grant Taylor, or Danny Way? It doesn't even make sense. Just sayin.

[FullyLaidBack]

Original.

[TheMorran123]

bilbao?



[coliseum2]

slash dog!!!

[RoryHilton22]

pause at 0:05 wtf no grab... WOW

[tuckkneegnarfuck]

GRANT TAYLOR SHREDS. HE DESERVED SOTY FORSURE.

[Merkairy]

NYJAH HUSTON IS THE REAL SOTY

[polvijverman]

@Merkairy i agree!!! nyjah rips!!

[Merkairy]

NYJAH HUSTON IS THE REAL SOTY

[FullyLaidBack]

@Merkairy skating isnt about winning contests. thats why nyjah skates and how he skates. GT skates to shred.

[Merkairy]

@FullyLaidBack gt shreds. no doubt, but nyjahs 17 and one of the best skateboarders there is, all the contest did was prove it..nyjah huston is 17, he doesnt skate to win contests, he skates with his friends to have fun like every other kid his age. look at his videeo part, after every big trick his friends are right ther giving him props. the only time we see grant taylor is wen he is with pros, skating for a purpose

[FullyLaidBack]

@Merkairy Nyjah is sponsored by Element. Nuffsed.

[polvijverman]

@FullyLaidBack what's wrong with that ? noob!!!

[FullyLaidBack]

@polvijverman element is a fake ass shitty skate brand that is only in the biz for the money. you dont know shit. go ride your scooter cunt.

[polvijverman]

@FullyLaidBack ur jealous on nyjah!!

[FullyLaidBack]

@polvijverman You called me a noob in the last message. what the fuck are you kidding me? go back and play WoW nerd. And im not jealous "on" Nyjah. Im jealous of GT =)

[polvijverman]

@FullyLaidBack i fucked your mom last night tho

[groovestarguru]

@polvijverman you have the maturity of a 5 year old and your a ranga...you have no soul, so shut up

[polvijverman]

@groovestarguru at least i don't push mongo, fail

[groovestarguru]

@polvijverman i dont anymore so um yea...fail, and you ride a scooter sooo yea

[polvijverman]

@groovestarguru so does your mom

[groovestarguru]

@polvijverman hahaha that actually made me laugh. grow up please child

[polvijverman]

@groovestarguru i'm 89

[rafaescate]

someone knows where's this spot located in?

[LegitBeat16]

song?



[Sirafrican]

For those of you that don't think this line is a good line, I'm here to say you guys are extremely ignorant and obviously don't skate to much. Skating tranny like this is extremely difficult. I'd get closer to landing a kickflip down El Toro then I would to mastering this line. Skating tranny like this is a lost art of skateboarding and takes years to be competent at it.

[dbspaceoditty]

@Sirafrican i guess there are no bowl skaters where you come from then. idk. grant is so over rated it makes me wanna shoot my foot off. so many skaters are able to do this its not even funny. its called vert skating. nothing that spectacular about it. when vert skaters do this its lame. when street skaters do it its some type of amazing feat of accomplishment.

[Sirafrican]

@dbspaceoditty I see what you're saying. There's just the amount of skill GT has when it comes to street and Tranny / Vert is amazing. He's a really versatile skater. Same goes for Ben Hatchell, Jaws, and Andrew Langi.

[kfix72]

@dbspaceoditty maybe you should shoot your foot off or come show us how it's really done at the 4th ward bowl in Atlanta on a Wednesday night. Fairly certain Grant will be more than happy to show you how it's done live and in person. Walk it like you talk it or shut your cheetostuffer

[SkateSA210]

@dbspaceoditty theres not many bowl skaters where im from so to see somebody skate this its pretty sick

[manuskateargentina]

@Sirafrican Exactly! plus... look where is he skating: A sketchy ass cement vert-ramp with no fucking pads on, and doing some insane fucking tricks. If you don´t know how to appreciate the danger he is taking, you don´t know shit!

[haggardestofthedukes]

@Sirafrican So very true. I'm a proud adept of the "lost art" and most of the street skating means shit to me (maybe except for Duffel-like ollies down the drain:P) And for those Nyjah-loving ignorants, try to observe how close to the coping Grant lands, w/o losing any speed! It's not the bearings that do the trick, u know...

[A1most4mayor]

@Sirafrican couldnt have said it better my friend

[aakkoin]

@Sirafrican transfer? that's a vert..

[trappedunderdicks]

all of you hating on grant probably dont realize how hard it is to skate tranny, you can land anything down stairs if you throw yourself down them enough times. Nyjah is an amazing skater but his style is not fitting for thrasher and grants is. Also i live down the street from grant and i see him skate at least twice a week and he skates just like this when hes just fucking around. Stop the hate and go skate kids

[caden97RAD]

Not only does Dennis rip he's a super sick dude as well. I've watched interviews of him and he skate for the love of the game, super gnarly guy.

[tcullz760]

im sorry, it was an insult to find this dude (who rips) win over businetz. this kid is young and has plenty of years ahead of him. busenitz won tampa pro (twice), filmed a couple parts this year, has the highest selling pro adidas skate shoe and he's been killing it for almost a decade solid. businetz, i feel sorry for you buddy.

[fnfgreg]

@tcullz760 you're so right. Busenitz deserves more fame!

[CadaveSkater]

I find it amazing that the people who are commenting on this video in a negative way either have NO videos on their own stream or just basic turtle pushing mobbed ollies and kickflips filmed either with a Flip or iPhone camera. Unless you can pop an ollie as high, clean and with out PADS on like Grant Taylor has in this video...your opinion does not matter and you are basically advertising your ignorance to true skateboarding.

[tcullz760]

@CadaveSkater Cool, Im ignorant.

[tcullz760]

@CadaveSkater and clearly your opinion matters.

[CadaveSkater]

@tcullz760

Mattered enough to stir a comment out of you; two! Nice try, though.

[sunnycoast4558]

@mastercool59 are you kidding me faggot? how did i stop people from having ther own opinion? go fuck our own ass you gay cunt

[harrywatson13]

thats a sick location

[karramarrobila]

@harrywatson13 jaja you have to see it when the waves are pumping. 2 pointbreaks and a big wave spot just near the skatepark.

[MisterHutchins]

THAT SKATEPARK IS GIANT

[sunnycoast4558]

@darkangelbret3 hmm let me just check..... no dick lips

[sunnycoast4558]

are people really comparing this guy to nyjah huston? nyjah huston is like the best skateboarder in the world today you dumb fucks

[darkangelbret3]

@sunnycoast4558 is that why he won soty?

[mastercool59]

@darkangelbret3

SOTY doesn't determine how good you are.

Sure, it Does mean something, like the winner put in work the year they won SOTY, but you're implying Grant Taylor is the "best skateboarder in the world today" because of his SOTY win - not hating on either Nyjah or Grant btw.

@sunnycoast4558

That's your opinion, let other people have theirs you obvious fucking troll

[SICKJIM]

@sunnycoast4558 I'd really like to see Nyjah skating pools. Yeah he's definitely good as fuck, but you can't say that ONE SKATER is the best, that makes no sense.

[ryanwilsonbackup]

why the fuck do people have to hate on EVERYTHING fuck do u really think nyjah and them give a fuck that grant taylor won? NO they congradulate him and keep it moving....

[TrickTipswithTyler1]

It's adorable how all the little kids commenting about nyjah huston and tony hawk don't appreciate raw skateboarding

[rainshot]

@TrickTipswithTyler1 lol kids these days xD

[MmmBolts]

watching GT makes me want to masturbate... furiously

[bleedingthrough16]

@MmmBolts watching your comment makes me want to throw up...furiously

[sonyvx5422]

SO much speed!

[jackakanitro]

bilbao..and gnarly

[chowtimer]

GT is the truth. Destroys all terrain.

[merkoe]

cleaner than a fat kids plate

[antonantonantone]

It's funny how every one is some skateboard experts all of a sudden. Go skate instead sitting on youtube thinking you got the entire skateboardindustry figured out. Cause you dont.

[profingers4life]

@antonantonantone 

[AcostaLBC]

@antonantonantone :( but I don't skate no more

[adr3y516]

@antonantonantone thank. you. i love you.

[creteslasher149]

Grant taylor should beat the shit out of greg lutzka

[StevenATE9]

Beast . Skater of the year

[Brossicle1]

Where's the top comment that brought other people to that other video that brought me here ?

[MrPrideFighting]

i still think busenitz or torey should of got SOTY

[danield826]

Go skate a rail fucking pussy

[skatedestroy1216]

@danield826 rofl, check out his other videos you ignorant shit.

[ngskate888]

@danield826 he does ignorant fuck, lets see you do anything close to this

[emericadw]

@danield826 on tranny that gnarly, i'd respect him even if he didn't do rails.

which he does.

[howdoyagetyasleep]

For all the haters watch the soty video and then take in to account that its all throwaway. Watch the new nike video and you will see whatsup

[InwardSkateKrew]

@LanceShines so. Busenitz, or PRod or even TPuds. If its just a dude who can do big airs and shiz, why not lizard king!? :) js

[InwardSkateKrew]

All i've seen dude do is hit a few rails and do a few big airs. Congratz to him, but other pros can do it too. Not hard. Only amazing thing he did in this vid was full cab rock. He's good. But not soty.

[schristoph92]

grant taylor is one of the only people that could have beaten out busenitz, so props to him. nyjah still skates like a 10 year old so there is no way he could have won, plus the SOTY is not chosen by thrasher but by the pros, and grant is a skaters skater.

[Sleightofhandsz]

I don't even like nyjah but he deserves it more than this guy. omg he skates fast and can shred pools. nigga please flip your board

[paulhasadragon]

Why is between Nyjah and Grant? I mean anyone could have won SOTY 2011. I don't get why people talk shit about another skater just because their favorite skater didn't win. We're all skateboarders, fuck. Show respect and give GT fucking props, he's sick as fuck.

[greendragon448]

SOTY!!!

[bnjmn07]

DAMN.

[Jakedunc]

Thank you Thrasher for keeping it real.

[profingers4life]

@Jakedunc

[AnyhowSia]

Why is his warm-up a firing line?

[tijosk8]

wtf that big fs air no grab O_O

[BrotherhoodCT]

everyone of those tricks looked scary

[Tullppa]

holy SHIT this guy's too fucking good

[kingjeopardy2k7]

Waste of 23 seconds

[swagifacator]

all you guys are butt lover (fags)

[1snow1snow]

daaamn i flyyed right into that fucking ad!!!!!!!!!!!

[peaceloveandsk81124]

congrats on soty!

[KyanWillEatYourHead]

that wasn't that great...

[Skatelairstuff101]

niijah is boring to watch. bad style and all rails and gaps

[90JFB]

@Skatelairstuff101 Nyjah is boring to watch? Were you asleep when you were watching his Rise & Shine part?

[TimoneProduction]

I could watch him skate all day..

[Sleightofhandsz]

wow so you people actually found this entertaining? overated as FUCK

[pobster56]

@Sleightofhandsz uhh what

[MrBabbit123]

were is that?

[pogostick426]

KOTR!!!!!!!?????

[lennert1337]

WHEN ARE THEY GONNA UPLOAD HIS PART???!!! COME ON

[Footplantman]

Grant is miles better than nyjah, yeah fair enough nyjah is really good and has some sick tricks, but grant is definetly more enteraing to watch, has a better style and is far more "Thrasher" than Nyjah

[bradcochran1234]

Both skaters are good. Main difference, GT can take it to the street too. Can Nyjah take it to the trany and kill huge frontside airs? NO

[MmmBolts]

@bradcochran1234 EXACTLY!!

[MeloRushSk8Team]

@bradcochran1234 can Grant Taylor Nollie Inward Heel Front Crook Every Try

[greasygoofsk8]

@bradcochran1234 theirs so much nyjah can do that grant cant do aswell but who cares there both amazing skaters

[SkateSnowMusic]

top comments shouldnt be hatin....

[theholytapesk8r]

2 covers, an eighteen page interviev and 2 video parts by the end of the year? sounds like a soty to me.

[scogins626]

I have watched this SOOOO many times aha but i could care less who wins SOTY, everyone nominated for it is sick as fuck.

[linkinrokr]

SOTY RIGHT HERE^

[LanceShines]

Thrasher doesn't want a "swag" skater. They want a hesh skater for SOTY. And GT is hesher than fuck. So quit bitching that your Diamond Supply Co. slave isn't winning SOTY. Nyjah is fucking crazy, but he's not what Thrasher looks for in SOTY.

[lakai944]

@LanceShines Nyjah is a skate jock, hes unwanted here

[5teeleDuke]

@LanceShines im sure if Nyjah skated tranny for a month or two he would be 3x as good, but he chooses street where he can throw his body of 20 feet high stair sets with his board spinning underneath him risking his testes, to me that takes way more balls then what grant does --.--

[lindl101]

@5teeleDuke Hahahahahahahahahaha, its takes more than a month to get as good at tranny as GT. And tranny always takes more balls than street. Thats why most people wear pads and a helmet when they skate ramps as big as GT does. But he's sick so he doesn't need to.

[ThatBlankFace]

@5teeleDuke u dont learn that shit in a month or two ud be lucky to learn how to rock and roll in a month on a 3 foot high ramp

[GoSkatePlease]

@LanceShines GT has swag though lol. im not disagreeing with you but with a part like that stoy vid. thats SWAG.

[laiminhthang]

what the fuck how can this guy be in SOTY wtf...

[knollaskompis]

@laiminhthang what the fuck? are you guys crazy? i gess half of you dont even own a skateboard, GT is sick and absollutly worth to be nominated for SOTY!!! so nerds shot up

[Footplantman]

@laiminhthang Because he is an amazing skater, has had tons of coverage, has a video part coming out, and he shreds.

[TheProfessorSteeze]

@cvdoubblerock

Dont get me wrong GT is sick.

But have you seen what nyjah did to the hollywood high sets?

That was a video full of bangers

[iamSOlate]

that looked like a nice cruise liner in the background, i wanna go on a cruise some day.

[Beliac]

Cab rock is amazing

[westsidewhiskers]

WHat the frontside air!

[18tastee]

like butter. like spicy chili pepper butter. mmm this is like watching porno

[IUseTechDecks]

I'm gunna poop when his part comes out.

[c0nztribe]

such good skating!!!

[theholytapesk8r]

vhen his part comes out, people are gonna see the handrails grant fucking handles. too insane

[dondelamaterskate518]

cant we all just get along with our skating and stop hating??

[GoHardMang]

Nyjah can't skate bowls like Grant and Grant can't skate fat ass sets and handrails like Nyjah.

They're both totally different, but they're both incredibly insane.

[ayolewistv]

@GoHardMang nyjah is pretty good at tranny actually

[massimomacriskate]

thats not just a firing line its a blowing line.

[realhatchethead]

most over-rated skater in history!! wow I can ollie real high on a vert ramp.

Can't believe they wanna give this guy SOTY. Ben rayborn kills this dude!

hate on this comment all you want, marks.

[cvdoubblerock]

@realhatchethead fuck your shit

[realhatchethead]

@cvdoubblerock

wow! is that prison talk.ha ha ha.just saying sounds kinda gay.

[JMEmerica]

@realhatchethead I actually agree with you man

[chancethatdude]

@EskateJ lets see nyjah do a monster ass front air and bone ass or lets see nyjah skate a bowl

[hgdigduf2]

If torey pudwill or Nyjah huston gets SOTY over grant tayler ill tape and post someone riding over my dick with a longboard

[Snawlaxx]

the best firing line i have ever seen!!!!!!!!

[ex1le444]

he hauls ass.

[WachowMan123]

Now we all know why he's gonna be skater of the year ...

[cockbroker]

thats how you f/s ollie brent atchley!!

[euriah1]

fuuuuuuuuuuck yeah, now that was a firing line!

[RVCAXD]

OMG... WERE IS THAT?!

[124W12]

wat the wombat?!?

[skatewhyoming]

so much gnar

[fuckthashiit]

you know what makes him stand out from the rest?? the fact that he can skate both tranny and street better than most...watch his debacle part and you'll see what i mean

[SeoulSon51]

Why is this fucker in top comments comparing Nyjah to Grant? It's people like that, that defeat the entire purpose of skateboarding.

[EskateJ]

@SeoulSon51 dude i didnt say anything bad about grant i was just saying that u cant compare nyjah and grant because they are totally opposites so why r u hating so much

[SeoulSon51]

@EskateJ I was talking about the guy you commented, not you. I agreed with your comment. He said something along the lines of, "let's see Nyjah do that."

[dcgardiner305]

@SeoulSon51 i know what you meen man!!

[CodyModo]

@SeoulSon51 Because SOTY is coming up. It's people like you that should shut the fuck up. Not saying GT is bad, just saying Nyjah and worked his ass off all year.

[SeoulSon51]

@CodyModo I like both skaters. But comparing them is retarded. And I don't give a fuck about some award. That also defeats the purpose of skateboarding.

[EskateJ]

@SeoulSon51 dude everyones hating on u 

[SeoulSon51]

@EskateJ Big deal. And maybe you don't understand what I was saying. I agreed with you. It was another dudes top comment that pissed me off.

[powaaapop]

so fucking smooth...

[nickykoston]

i dont really see why he should be soty 2011 ,, there are a lot of skater way more impressive , he's always doing the same kinfd of hings ... (

[ABDStillLegit]

@nickykoston i see what you are saying. For level of skating, i probably wouldn't pick him as a person to win, but based on how easy he makes the gnarliest spots look... i would give soty to him twice haha

[PauCasasFingerboard]

La Kantera FTW!

[jimmyjazz95]

TOMORROW!
