I think he is in the same league as Rodney Mullen or even a step above!

A true master of his craft. Skate Ballet.

It amazes me that there's still more you can do with that simple board with 4 wheels on it.

Very Rodney Mullen. It's like he's taken Rodney's stuff and thought "how can I do this using fewer feet?"

As a skater, I have to rain on the parade. These are all joke tricks for your standard pro skater, and most aren't even executed exceptionally well. Touching your front wheels in a manual? Putting your foot down? That's basic no-no stuff.
Chris Haslam blows all of this out of the water when he's playing around. Richie Jackson. There's lots of "circus skaters" out there that destroy this dude.
And as someone that's not much of a Mullen fan- Rodney Mullen is roughly 829% better than this guy.

Sorry.

If that's the case I won't bother correcting his name from the title - the video says Kilian.

^ I bothered. Thanks.

@gnargnar,
But you have to agree, this vid is beautifully shot, well put together and does show off this kids skateboard-*dancing quite nicely, even if others can do better.

Stuff is very Mullen like, but I agree with gnargnar that Mullen blows this guy away. You can't take away a some of his stuff as joke tricks though. I'd like to see you pull off the one foot manual on separate boards...

but whats the song????

but whats the song????

Read the credits..

I don't know how good or difficult the skate moves are compared to the "best" there is, but the film director/editor and the cameraman certainly did an amazing job.

I will post your video if you put it on youtube. I'd have to see your credentials in order for me to qualify this statement. A lot of people can talk the talk...

he's got a few tricks...

new things I saw were landing with legs crossed (1:40), and rolling off some stairs on two wheels (2:30)...

... both of which are kinda lame (in my opinion).

The fingerflip shit is neat; guys have been resurrecting that old school stuff down stairs and off of ledges, but, well, people stopped doing it because it was kinda lame. Dudes pretty good, though!

... oh, and the, uh, double-kick at 3:07... but, again, 80's bones brigade vert bros were doing that second kick as 13 year olds before someone showed them video of it and they stopped immediately.

THASS RIGHT!! Devil's ADVOCATE up in this biiiitch!!!

yeah man, Haslam does shit that is borderline miraculous... its probably that wizard beard....

Looks like a Mullen inspired run, except Mullen is wayyyy more techincal (not to mention a fucking legend). This guy has some innovation, but still needs practice IMO.

After watching that video, Haslam is cleaner, but Martin had more complicated tricks. Haslam was also doing the same trick with only slight variations over and over.

Much more impressed with look of film---a million times more interesting than any hollywarped ballbuster---but kid be cool too.

video > skater

MORE COMPLICATED?!!
Alright, I almost replied to this, but stepping back I concede that it may not be entirely obvious to non-skateboard-nerds how inconceivably difficult Haslam's part there is vs. the fingerflips, low-ledge grinds, Mullin's spins and quick shuvits that make up the bulk of Martin's video.

The song is Tracy's Waters by awesome Canadian artist Patrick Watson.
