That and the fact you don't see everything landed first try we actually get to see the struggles to get tricks and see they are actually human after all. lol
watching him get that back tail backside flip off of that bank over three separate sessions made me respect this guy infinitely... definition of PERSISTENCE
I remember like a year back I was skating hollenbeck skatepark here in Los Angeles and I happened to snap my board as soon as Brandon Westgate showed up so he calls me over and we walk to his car and he hooks me up with a brand new 7.75 zoo York deck with the emerica sticker on the nose,i was forever grateful for that
I've been out of the game for quite some time this is the first footy I've seen of spanky since baker 3 I didn't even know he still shreds its so awesome to see what he's grown into
The Comeback kid. In one of the promos he does a nollie back tail kickflip to fakie on a picnic table, it wasn't in here for some reason but as soon as I saw that I knew he was gonna have some footage you could tell he got off the booze and got his strength back. Not to mention injuries, he's a lot less shaky and more solid on his board now then in his last part. Its fucking rad.
These B tapes compared to spankys B tapes from stay gold are a night and day difference. Since he got sober his skating has been amazing. I love seeing that happen to ppl who get sober. Ive been sober for a few years now and ppl say it to me too. Another example is even Gucci mane (ber!) its like when ppl get sober their aura and body just gleem w life and positive energy. Even his approach on daily life seems to be positive and he looks happy. Love when that happens to ppl. Go see for yourselves and watch stay gold B sides hes like super miserable looking and genuinely not having a good time and like a grey rainy cloud is constantly follow him. Now chapter 2 B sides hes like naturally full of energy and hes on top of his game w skating and seems to be genuinely having fun and is pullin off some sick tricks. Being in recovery you genuinely know if someone is legit sober or just bullshitting you and saying theyre sober but theyre not. Spanky is an example of what I am talking about he genuinely looks sober and life and positive energy has filled him back up. Same w Reynolds and Ellington. Even with Greco lol he genuinely looks miserable but when he talks and tells his story you know hes genuine and for sure sober. Even Ali Boulala.. as shitty of a hand he was dealt and the situation he put himself in due to drugs now that hes sober its a night and day difference and when he talks recovery and tells his story he has such a positive outlook on life and you know hes legit sober.
Agreed. Reynolds is one of my favorite examples as well. He even said it himself that sobriety was played a key part in his Baker 3 part having twice the amount footage compared his previous non sober parts.
When I was so used to being stoned for years, getting sober was almost like a new high. There was a sudden rush of happiness and creativity after my body detoxified. I have to admit though I was a better writer when I was using.
Big 3ye dude are you talking about weed like it's a horrible drug? I was a heroin addict for three years and I've dealt with an opiate addiction for the last 8 years. Now that I'm sober I can tell a massive difference in myself. If you only smoked weed then I can tell you right now that you have no idea what it's like to be an addict
For people who smoke weed all day, every day, for years, getting sober is a big change. After a few weeks they feel totally different and a lot better. If you quite heroin...then smoke your weed bro. If it helps you stay clean. I know the deal. I did H and every other drug too and I smoke weed now, but clean from everything else too. For a huge pot head though, getting clean is a big deal.
I personally disagree with your opinion. I think when he was under the influence a lot during the Stay Gold filming phase his skating had a sketchy yet easy on the eyes style that I never really seen from KSL. I understand the whole get sober for a better and healthier lifestyle and he said himself he had to do it to really focus on skating and get back on the right track. I just liked when he was faded he landed his tricks with that little sketchy steeeze that I like. Thank you for your comment though it was a good starting point for some solid debate. I appreciate you man.
605 Skate Krew I think that was around the time he was getting his style and trick selection down, if you look at his part before that, the Emerica This Is Skateboarding. You can definitely tell the difference in his skating.
Front board backside big spin, or maybe gazelle (I couldn’t tell) out on the picnic table... Such an amazing trick. The pop he got on that trick out was insane. Props!
B-Sides are always better than the regular part. Its enjoyable watching a pro fail over n over n having to come back to a spot for a trick rather than just seeing a bunch of first try tricks to a song I dont like.
the beginning when he was waiting for those rich business people to move out the way gave me this feeling but awesome part from spanky well done lad 👊🤘
Got kicked off emerica and baker a few years ago due to slacking off and partying etc, watch his epicly laterd revisited episode, 2 parts, they touch base on it all
I just love the noises made from wallrides. Music to my ears
I enjoy these so much more than the actual video parts
Spanky has developed such a unique bag of tricks, seeing the raw files really exemplifies just how amazing he is.
Holy fuck he came back not playing around
he never went away he just been practicing wallrides.
he was heavily injured and drinking for a while they made a video of him talking about it after getting back on Baker
His part and figgy's part were the ones I was most excited to see.
Isnt Jon Dickson in this vid?
Christopher Rowe I take it you haven't seen the video then, yes he is.
best wall rides in the business
This guys rides walls better than I can ride on the ground.
i really enjoy the B-Sides, seeing the trys before the make is the blessed part. Hell yeah Spanks
Spanky deserves another pro shoe at Emerica.
AvocadoHero he just announced his new emerica shoe on the nine club
Seriously had chills the whole time. The back tail bs kickflip was the best clip ever. That sunset and all the work he put in makes it come to life.
enjoyed it. much better without music. you really can feel it....
That and the fact you don't see everything landed first try we actually get to see the struggles to get tricks and see they are actually human after all. lol
wallride king!
Krookiemonster haha you commented that before me' danget
crackedmelon your profile pic is hella tight
***** dank you
Don't forget Jake Johnson and Silas Baxter Neil those dudes kill walls
Jake Johnson kills everything.
watching him get that back tail backside flip off of that bank over three separate sessions made me respect this guy infinitely... definition of PERSISTENCE
still has the Emerica sticker on his nose
I think Baker actually had a limited edition run of decks with the Emerica logo printed on them
wgorham93 those are stickers that are only available to team members
I've always wanted an Emerica sticker just for that reason
id kill for one of those emerica stickers!!
I remember like a year back I was skating hollenbeck skatepark here in Los Angeles and I happened to snap my board as soon as Brandon Westgate showed up so he calls me over and we walk to his car and he hooks me up with a brand new 7.75 zoo York deck with the emerica sticker on the nose,i was forever grateful for that
Spanky should have his own series on Thrasher like Marius
smith to back tail at LA high banks was too good.
I've been out of the game for quite some time this is the first footy I've seen of spanky since baker 3 I didn't even know he still shreds its so awesome to see what he's grown into
Spanky fucking rips! Happy to see him doing well

THIS IS AMAZING! Better than ever!
agreed this is dope
NinjaLifestyle not enough wallrides
yeah lol
so hyped that he got so much footy!!!
was hoping to see the clipper footy in here but still amazing. LA High clip is too good.
Spanky aka wall ride king! Absolutely killed it! Emerica B-Sides are so much fun to watch.
I cannot fathom my appreciation and just flat out awe as to what I just watched.
Out of all the dudes I'm most happy for him he went through some shit and got back up and skated his ass off salute to you spanky
He's got such and awesome style and so fun to watch.
His Baker 3 part will forever be my fave
605 Skate Krew I think that was around the time he was getting his style and trick selection down, if you look at his part before that, the Emerica This Is Skateboarding. You can definitely tell the difference in his skating.
So rad. Didn't think that last wallride was even humanly possible. That was some straight skate wizard shit! Props spanky
1:22 to 1:28 so cool..and the very first trick with the deer shirt on...spankeys gotten a lot smoother since last time I watched his film
So psyched to see this guy killing it again.
That saw arm at 10:15 is from the big black boy at 0:56 lol
lol
Front board backside big spin, or maybe gazelle (I couldn’t tell) out on the picnic table... Such an amazing trick. The pop he got on that trick out was insane. Props!
He and Matt Field are in a competition to see who can do more wallrides, haha. Really good stuff, great to see more of Spanky.
B-Sides are always better than the regular part. Its enjoyable watching a pro fail over n over n having to come back to a spot for a trick rather than just seeing a bunch of first try tricks to a song I dont like.
Kody Walker YES!!
I didn't know Spanky and Hsu were tight like that. Cool to see that.
just great to watch, nice style as well really incredible skating
What an inspiration! Going on seven months now...
1:25 That's a beautiful looking scenary.
good to see this guy producing a quality videopart again.
Kevin is and always will be my favorite skater. Thanks for your hard work Spanky.
Looking good Spanky! That frontside flip nosegrind! Woo.
Spanky 4 life! You are an awesome dude and such an inspiration!

+Across The Sea kickflip 180 nosegrind
King of Wallrides! Glad to see him back rippin!

Anyone recognized the spot spanky skates at 1:16?? That ledge looks super fun
what's that crazy trick on the table (6:38)? front board + 180 + bigspin?
unbelievable!
highlight of my day watching his performance
0:56 , pretty much almost took his whole arm off
He needs to get some longer trousers. Haven't seen so much ankle since that time Malto shattered his.
lol, true dat
CARLOSi it's easier to skate with high waters lol
It makes me happy as fuck to see how hard Spanky is killing it.
This is so fucking crazy! Love how he goes back and gets everything perfect!
Fav B-sides so far!
it is so good to see him back on track
Spanks is my motivation to get clean... goals to make skating my "high" again.... wish me luck
The opening trick, GOT DAMN!
He worked some of those tricks out. So good.
he's just in luv with those wallies.
His style is crazy he is ripping again I love this
Inspirational!
Can't wait for Jerry Hsu and Jon Dickson b sides
Holy shit!! Smith to tail in bank is fuckin awesome, dude!!
the beginning when he was waiting for those rich business people to move out the way gave me this feeling but awesome part from spanky well done lad 👊🤘
