Gravette is a warrior, he’s not joking tho, nothing he does comes easy. One day I went to my local skatepark in Washington and David Gravette is in there in low profile. No one’s paying him any mind and I ask someone “is that David Gravette?” And they said “dumb bro, it’s not, that’s just a guy with a creature board” Anyways I keep skating and this guy with a creature board is fucking struggling to switch ollie a cardboard box. I’ve literally never seen someone battle for something so small. I go up to the guy after a while, he’s angry at the trick and life and ask calmly, “hey are you David Gravette?”. He kinda grunted out defeatedly, “yeah” and turned around yelled “FUCKKK” a couple times and left. I never felt he was mad at me, even tho I really should’ve left him be. I get older and I watch his nine club and hear the list of injuries he’s had and yet he still rips. Thought back to that day and realized, “dude was coming back from a gnarly injury, relearning to skate”. He easily could’ve gave up skating like “Skating sucks cuz I’m injured, fuck it imma work in the warehouse”. Instead he just got good at skating again after each injury cuz he’s a fucking warrior It doesn’t matter, giant roller coaster rail, or switch ollying a tiny cardboard box, if it’s a challenge then he treats it like a war he has to win to survive and I think that’s how he got so good at skating
He is literally the most angry guy in the world when he bails haha, watch the long rail bit from his section in CSFU, he grinds the grip tape on his face when he bails!
David does what he needs to do to keep getting up and trying. Cops shut him down because he was being loud and he comes back the next day louder. Dude is a beast and you have to be a fucking animal to try and 50 50 a roller coaster rail like that.
This is the funniest clip in the history of skating. Highlights include: 1) This is dangerous as fuck! 2) Why'd he have to honk? 3) My insides are rattled. 4) Oh man did I break my wrist? 5) I hope those fucking cops come back!
When I saw this trick I thought it looked dangerous and difficult af but watching it in a part where he’s landing everything just makes it look like it’s easy for him even though I know obviously it’s not. Then seeing this battle just shows the level of commitment and pure will power it takes. It’s incredible.
i kinda get it, but he should turn it down a notch. hes probably a chill dude when he's not doing that but this might make him "hard to work with". thats my point of view from hearing other stories from filmers and photographers.
I know how he feels here i used to be this type of mutilated tortured mental case. i never tried anything this hard though. after trying tricks too much its really more mental than physical believe it or not actually after the last day sacking i take that back
For those of you getting on his case just watch the Marc Johnson epiclylaterd, that explains the anger and frustration, its a job and not just fun all the time.
"I'm so sick of the way I skateboard. Everything is fucking mental breakdowns."
Beautiful.
JeffIsAPrettyCoolGuy right?
"I'm gonna fucking die! I'm gonna eat so much fucking shit!" Love this so much lol
He's so amusing to watch.
"So SICK of the way I skateboard."

This was like a movie

So Much Fucken Shit
I love David Gravette. when passion tastes blood oooo weeee. So stoked on this one. Sucks I'm seeing this 10 years later. FML David. FML! Not yours.
Him and Cory Kennedy make me proud to be from/live in Washington.
do you think kurt cobain was murdered?
True commitment.
Damn I figured he would be way more chill.
He is literally the most angry guy in the world when he bails haha, watch the long rail bit from his section in CSFU, he grinds the grip tape on his face when he bails!
CULTxEYES most angry bailer has to be Nick Merlino for sure.
***** alex olsen is pretty hilarious too
rob dyrdek is the funny to watch too
obviously fucking not *****

This is the funniest clip in the history of skating.

1) This is dangerous as fuck!
2) Why'd he have to honk?
3) My insides are rattled.
4) Oh man did I break my wrist?
5) I hope those fucking cops come back!
+Jesse Rockwell The best: "I'm sick of the way I skateboard!"
+Jesse Rockwell " I'm so fuckin stoked"
+Jesse Rockwell "I'm gonna fucking die!"
+Jesse Rockwell THIS IS A FUCKING GREAT DAY
"I'M FUCKING STOKED"
The definition of WORK. Fuckin' A dude, you fucking earned that.
I AM SO FUCKING STOKED (in a pissed voice). hahahaha that had me crackin up

It is Dangerous he even Said it himself He Could easily die on that rail
it all paid off in the end. that was cool as shit
It's as if some malevolent entity is forcing him to do the trick against his will.
Dude rail skating has got to be the most dangerous skating their is.
"this is a fucking great day dude"
Gravette will 50 50 anything!
That was such a perfect landing too. No helicopter hands or anything. Just perfect.
2:21 "I'm so sick of the way i skateboard. Everything is fucking mental breakdown."
Poor guy
FUCKING LEGEND!
If he didn't scream that much the cops wouldn't actually show up...
Well Ben Reamers held it all in all of the time and that didnt turn out the best...
@@davidbass3178 rip
gnarliest by far. he's the best.
This guy is great. He's so dramatic.
this is actually hilarious. and gnarly
This is my favorite skate clip of all time
His happy excited scream after making it sounds exactly like his pissed off scream after bailing....
Love that guy
Reminds me of my toddler.
gravette... you inspire everyone with how tough and persistent you are. SOTY
Super gnarly! he put up a fight too
So gnarly
He has the best melt downs
one of the best vids i have seen in a while! almost pissed myself i laughed so hard, still my fave skater
UNREAL
damn, I was on the edge of my seat for that. Damn boss right here!
Sickkk gravette..sickkkk
This rail is at san bernadino college
DG has the highest tolerance for pain ive ever seen or known. SO TALENTED! And Jaws has the strongest ankles ever.
Is this David Gravette or Jerry Hsu?
gravette
Fight yourself and if you win you'll be stoked, Congrats David
That shit blows my mind😮
he is fucking gnarly
1:03 was this on hall of meat if it wasn't it fucking should be
very calm guy
i thought he actually handled that pretty well, most dudes slam their boards or break it after a while
ua-cam.com/video/Hn-GZo7xWsc/v-deo.html
How can not love Gravette? He's fucking hilarious! :)
I'm glad he grinded the hole thing and landed it in the end and im also glad for teh other short grind he landed and 180 off the 3 stairs
I relate to Gravette on a spiritual level.
One of the Gnarlest things ever witnessed, would not have enjoyed it without the whole process being filmed! This guy is inspiring "AS FUCK!"
i cant believe he fucking landed that, that shit is soooooooo damn gnarly
best trick ever 100/10 this hurt so much to watch. My anxiety would build up while watching this
Awesomeness
best celebration ever
Hes so nice and chilled out until it comes to the wheelieboard
when he gets it, it looks really good.
I am so fucking stoked!!
That was dope
hella comfy
Damm so gnarly
This is dedication
wow this was amazing, good on you bro!
I actually think that was the best grind ive ever seen on a skateboard! XD
4:37 “My body’s like tingling in fucking ecstasy.”
What was the cost for the skate tickets?
+Donnie Blanko Not sure, usually below a few hundred dollars. If you're pro, the companies you ride for usually pay for it.
Bob joe he's aggravated af that's why
this is a FUCKING GREAT day
i kinda get it, but he should turn it down a notch. hes probably a chill dude when he's not doing that but this might make him "hard to work with". thats my point of view from hearing other stories from filmers and photographers.
3:40 left ball, corner pocket
he did win fan favorite though
How is this not apart of the thrasher “my war” series?..
“Nothing I ever do will ever come easy.” But then he puts out the most amazing series where he skates terrible skateparks and rips them all up 😆
Just look at what he is doing and think about it . This shouldn't be possible!! Gravette is the man
fkin gnarly
best video i ever seen :D
"AAAAGGGH GOD DUDE IM GETTING FUCKED!"
Aren't we all David, aren't we all.
I was laughing the whole time 😂, love watching David lose his mind
the funniest personality out
in fucking sane
"my body is like tingling in ecstasy"
I know how he feels here i used to be this type of mutilated tortured mental case. i never tried anything this hard though. after trying tricks too much its really more mental than physical believe it or not actually after the last day sacking i take that back
Love him so much , I like that he shows that he's human , not like fuckn prod who lands shit every try like a fuckn genie
Best moment in life!!! ❤🎉🌈🤘💯
He skates the Gnarliest shit i swear
Skater of the Year
dave heres a xanex man
if this dude is always like this, i don't understand how people would want to skate/film with him.
i sensed some arrogance
i also find his personality entertaining
I'd call it dedication. The guy does what no one else even attempts.
why wont the dude wear a helmet?
Being a professional skateboarder ain't easy. I'm so glad I only skate for fun.
For those of you getting on his case just watch the Marc Johnson epiclylaterd, that explains the anger and frustration, its a job and not just fun all the time.
SHOUT OUT TO BRET MAVERICK
HE HAS THE BEST CANNABIS VIDEOS ON UA-cam
SEARCH HIS NAME: BRET MAVERICK
PEACE&LOVE
This is worthy of a my war.
Sick
that moment of him going "I'm so fucking stoked" reminds me of when I lost my v haha
"this is dangerous as fuck"
At 2:42 you really feel his pain
