To be honest, my initial reaction to this video was underwhelming. There’s definitely his usual “holy shit” stuff in there, but I found the footage, not the tricks, not representative of how sick it is what he does. It might be just me though, because usually I do get that mind = blown impression every time I watch him skate.
Mitchie Brusco’s only critique seemed pretty spot on, when he pointed out that one of the fun parts of watching Greyson is watching him land and seeing the rollaway.
They cut the roll-aways (and some of the roll-ups) in the video in order to create a sense of speed and energy. Part of the fun of watching Greyson is watching his style, and you don’t get to see that in it’s full effect when they cut everything early.
He truly lives by his motto: “Skate Fast, Slam hard”.
I know helmets are passe in street skating, but I really wish he would take a page out of Andy Anderson’s book.
Leaving a little skin on the pavement is cool and all, but I’ve seen him take some pretty major slams.
