Starting with Mark Appleyard with a tons of hammers like the kickflip bs five-0 to the hubba, backside heelflip the sacramento 3-flat-3flat-3 excellent. Followed by Ali part the extravaganza skateboarding or “handrail manifiesto” so clearly that is another style, the main hammer is the 25 ollie attempt. Chalmers is next so great board control in that bowl, he can just go so high with this mini-ramps. Bastien Salabanzi, the young kid from Congo, a huge ripper and a nice 16 stair kickflip fs boardslide at the end. Rune Glifberg other great part plus he is the only that skate huge ramps, next is the lost Tom Penny in a mini ramp montage.
