This is being called a Wallride Power Slide to Shove It out. When doing this you actually need to think “body varial” out, because if you try to shove it, you’ll land in a Primo.

This was shot with an iPhone as a random clip for Facebook. A full Mentality Skateboards video part is nearing completion now.

Darkside Natas Spin.

It is inspired by Mark Gonzales and his first ever darkslide, which he bomb dropped into and did down a handrail. Also, of course, it was inspired by Natas Kaupas with his Natas spin. I combined the two and added a foot kick off the handrail to get the spin.

I shot this with an iPhone as a random clip for Facebook. I am nearing completion on a full Mentality Skateboards video part now.

This 2005 skate session was filmed to gather some tricks for use in my instructional DVD ”Skateboarding Explained”. Two of the tricks were used in it; the feeble grind transfer down the rail & the bluntslide down the hubba ledge.

Tue, 13 Sep 2011 21:15:00 -0500

Just another day skating at the Vans Skatepark of Houston in 2003. I was on the pro circuit at this time and it was a perfect training facility because it had almost everything, was climate controlled, and had a great vibe from the skaters and employees.

Thanks to Steve VanDoren for sponsoring me, and for letting me teach at the park. Also a big thanks to Dwight Denton, Ian Anderson, Chris Foreman, and the rest of the Vans employees. I thought of Skateboarding Explained: The Instructional DVD while teaching at this park, and I started Mentality Skateboards out of here. So many great times there! RIP
