Remember playing Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and thinking “there is no way anyone can do any of these crazy tricks” ???
Well Richie Jackson wants to prove you wrong. I’ve just watched this video TWICE and I still have no idea what a lot of the tricks are, let alone how to do them. To make this guy even cooler, he’s got style and a way cool Captain-Jack-Sparrow-esque appearance.
He’s ripping up the rule book right before your eyes, doing stuff like nose AND tail sliding an escalator (at the same time), board sliding a hanging chain, all sorts of tricks out of wall rides, nollie to tail tapping every step on a large stair set, reverting DOWN A STAIR SET and more.
Actually I’ve just watched this for a third time and realised you need to see this a few times to fully appreciate.
Richie Jackson sponsors… iPath, Death Skateboards & Pig Wheels (I think)
Great song too, it’s by a Swedish (I think) band called Witchcraft.
Yeah that song’s pretty rad too, suits his skating style.
