alot of new era kids would say "i can do that first try" to alot of the ledge tricks in hear, but they'll never be able to do it with the style that natas natrually has

[tyronebiggimsh]

Natas is THE MAN!!! Makes everything look SO eazy! There isn't any STYLE in skating anymore!! BORING ASS SH*T!!

[snowy976]

A lot of people can skate better than Natas now but back in the 80's he was unparralleled. True pioneer

@Leaffan93rules

wrong. Skating is skating and it always will be. "New era kids" arent real skaters. Im 16 and Im in love with skateboarding. I look up to people like Natas because their original and they're the reason skating is what it is today.

[LocalHasbeen]

@Leaffan93rules Yeah, but they forget that before then, nobody did it, and now people have been doing them for 20+ years. Thats why when a kid says "this board/trucks/shoes are too heavy/wide/long etc. I always say. Really? Guys were pulling kickflips 20 years ago on boards almost twice as wide and heavy.

@Leaffan93rules * A lot

[KiLLiNHiLLz]

@Leaffan93rules or on a ten pound board with eraser-like wheels, without any vision into the future of skating. natas was right there, inventing those tricks, breaking into uncharted territory. kids today were not there, & they don't know what it felt like.

[SSDecontrol94]

@benaberry thank you! everyone cares way to much about doing certain tricks now and days and the pure reason for skateboarding is gone, fun.

The first time I ever saw a wallride, it was Natas, I lost my mind. I mean I lost my mind, I tried so hard to ollie like that, we had no ramps hardly in my town it was all street skating and Natas, Vallely, Gonzo, Mullen, those guys WERE skating!!

[rebusd]

anyone who saw him ollie, wallride, or handrail in 87 knows. Anyone who didn't, doesn't. End of story

[XheroinxchicX]

im glad this came out ,people should know about natas ,mark gonzalez, julien stranger,john cardiel ogs like that

[benaberry]

I dare anyone to have as original thought as Natas / Gonz / Mullen / Mike V / Jay Adams.......possibly Hawk.

These guys didnt follow any thing but just a feel, thats it. These days its ohhh you cant do a flippty flippy flip, whatever, create something original.
