If you like Gou Miyagi's style, check out Kilian Martin!

Pogos, random darksiding, multiple board use, hand stands, etc. Good to see this in the Top 15 but I would kill to see Kilian AND Miyagi there together.

And if you want more skateboard originality check out:

* Omar Salazar
* Willy Santos
* Sergio Yuppie
* Rodney Mullen (Of course!)
* And bonus half pipe creativity from Daewon Song & Chris Haslam

Also, JFYI, we may look weak but don't f with us (we're like zerg): http://videosift.com/video/Guy-with-Gun-Confronts-Skateboarder-Street-Justice-Ensues

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.

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.


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...

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...

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

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

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

Rodney Mullen is/was a genius or whatever the sports equivalent of uniquely fantastic is.

Actually, what happened was... according the Air Force, anyway... is that they caught the attention of ADM Mullen, now a big shot, who wanted the Navy to be a forerunner in cyber/tech sec (for whatever reason).. and since they were pushing this "DOMINANCE OVER THE ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM" and Cyber-Command plans... he had them stopped.

i think officially the story is congress wants to look at the provisions of the cybercommand doctrine, and examine further what areas are in need of such control. There's news stories about them stopping the program and the recruiting for it...


...While all the while....they recruited and trained under the new specialty codes which are now suspended.... so...

what really happened was..

they got to choose from the best of the best, make a shadow force, complete their mission of cybersecurity with the exact manpower they really desired.. and are now.. in .. control. Monitoring all networks, everywhere.


WEE!!!!

ACtually, I think they got too much interest and realized this needs to be the new way to recruit for the future.. and needs to be precisely deployed and supported.
