Anthony Gallegos: A Chosen Few Profile + Bonus
Repost. First posted on Wednesday, October 27th, 2010.
Anthony Gallegos has been skating for this profile since before we had even planned on making it a Chosen Few Profile.
Chosen Few filming has been going on for a little over a year but Anthony has been filming this for nearly 2 years. I can not even begin to describe how unbelievable and dedicated this guy is. He can skate anything. Literally anything. He will not only skate obstacles no one would ever think of skating, he will session them. He won’t just do a soul on it either he will get tech on it.
Among being a outrageously good skater he is also one of the most positive and humble people you will ever meet.
I have never been more honored and proud to release anything more then this profile. Anthony your the man! now sit back and prepare to be fucking amazed!

OMG FIRST COMMENT ON AN AWESOME VIDEO!! WEEEE
October 27th, 2010 at 9:12 am
Why do you all love talking about yourselves so much? And talking shit…
Everyone always says the same boring shit, ‘oh man, I love skating blah, it’s my passion’… It was done in One Love a 100 years ago. Can skaters start talking about something interesting?
His skating is sick, but the section is unwatchable, like every chosen few edit, because either the person whose section it is talks shit, or someone else sucks their cock saying how amazing they are.
October 27th, 2010 at 9:18 am
A chosen few is the best thing out there! Congratulations!
Regards,
Fred

You’ve started this can of worms for me. Its an oxy moron when you say Anthony’s skating is sick, but yet his section is unwatchable……. Anthony is so god damn amazing its unbelieveable. He has an endless amount of tricks and anyone who knows/rolls with him understands. Can’t wait to see more footage.
Quinn, awesome job with A Chosen Few, keep promoting it and keep those comps coming.
October 27th, 2010 at 9:50 am
What was fuck*in SICK!!!! Can not believe all the trick vocab you have Anthony! You will be def my favourite skater from till now watching this! Keep skating man for as long as you can and we will be pleased watching you skate!
I would say section of the year.. 15 minutes of the best I’ve seen.
October 27th, 2010 at 10:15 am
I can’t beleive that people hate on this… it’s so sad… that shit is the best thing i’ve seen in a long long time, that guy put all pros to shame, his skating is fucking smart and creative, he’s got tech like few can…
He seems like a nice dude and I understand why he wants to share his love with his own words. There is no cocksucker friend in there, I would be proud to skate with such a sick kid and show my friend to the world.
Come on haters, open yours eyes and chill, this guy doesn’t take what he does seriously, he says that it’s only fun while you can’t soul grind a rail and act like rollerblading is the only thing in the world. ROLLERBLADING IS FUN. Thanks to Anthony for such a fucking sick ass section, loved every single clip, you’ve got my respect! peace from France
October 27th, 2010 at 11:17 am
I have no words
It`s fuckin amazing!!!!
I just have no words!!!
October 27th, 2010 at 11:57 am

October 27th, 2010 at 12:44 pm

October 27th, 2010 at 1:11 pm
Gallegos = exclusive
October 27th, 2010 at 1:17 pm
YES IT’S A DOLPHIN!
Epic quote lol!
October 27th, 2010 at 1:43 pm

October 27th, 2010 at 2:14 pm
too sick to be legal !
October 27th, 2010 at 2:48 pm
really kept my attention with such unpredictable yet cool and stylish tricks.
that was fucking great!
if i was to say anything that wasnt complimentary,it wouldve been some icing had there been some air tricks like flips and shit too.

Why do you all love talking about yourselves so much? And talking shit…
And yet you’re talking shit on the internet, dedicating entire paragraphs to your own opinions, so does that mean you love yourself too much? You fit the very stereotype you claim to hate.
C< ………. ( <– that's Pac Man eating up all DOTS!! haha)
sick skating Anthony! I was impressed to see your progression just from FN to FN2, and knew then that you would be something special to our sport.
Keep being creative and progressive, but most importantly, keep having fun and stay humble!
October 27th, 2010 at 3:42 pm
@ Wicked: Those of us who Know Anthony have been asking ourselves that question for years. This kid is the real deal. He’s got the hops of Vintage Farmer with the Tech of Sean Kelso and Aragon in tight jeans. He’s actually the reason why I wanted to try Xsjado’s the entire network of people he skates with are always on here cause they wreck house in our industry. He’s Sponsored now but he should’ve been pro like 5 years ago.
October 27th, 2010 at 3:45 pm
Oh and guys like
Mark
scorpion king’s anus
The Truth
etc…
they just wish they had an ounce of what these guys have which is why they hate so much.
For the record. Anthony is like maybe 5’6 and I’m 6’3 I can jump up to my chest and grind, but anthony can 540 up to my chest and grind. How sick is that. any super high rail has been molested by this kids skills.
hope that doesn’t sound too sick but I think I painted the picture.
October 27th, 2010 at 4:33 pm
that was very good
October 27th, 2010 at 5:29 pm
The most versatile skater ive ever seen in my 14 years of rollerblading in terms of terrain, and trick vocab, simply outstanding section, groundbreaking!
October 27th, 2010 at 5:40 pm
He isn’t pro because his style is whack. Sorry but it had to be said. Maybe when this dude develops his style more he will be pro.
October 27th, 2010 at 6:28 pm
Anonymous, are you blind?
October 27th, 2010 at 6:50 pm
Yeah, that Anonymous is clearly visually impaired.
That is one of the sickest sections in years. Kinda reminds me of watching an old Haffey or Farmer section. Not so much because of the tricks, just the overall feeling of “Whoa! What the fuck?!”
October 27th, 2010 at 7:06 pm
yo he grinds a dolphin, come to germany here you can grind a dick!!!
October 27th, 2010 at 7:07 pm
I drop names like a muthafuka! It makes me cool. I try to drop atleast 3 to 5 names per post, it gives people the impression I know what Im talking about. I skate with Anthony all the time. Did I tell you I skate with him? because I do. Yay for sausages.
October 27th, 2010 at 7:09 pm
I also post twice. For the record Ill quote Anthony’s height, so you can further believe me when I say I skate with Anthony. Yay Anthony. We did it!
October 27th, 2010 at 7:28 pm
His style is sketchy. Can I not have my own opinion. Yes, he has hella tricks, but dude is really lacking in the style department. Too floppy for my taste.
October 27th, 2010 at 7:37 pm
pretty sick edit! i enjoy chosen few edits :)
October 27th, 2010 at 7:59 pm
sick sick sick what the hell have i just watched
October 27th, 2010 at 8:06 pm
that kid is amazing I mean so many techy tricks it was insane
October 27th, 2010 at 8:08 pm
NO THATS A WHALE
October 27th, 2010 at 8:15 pm
Best online edit of the year? I vote yes too!!!
That was fucking amazing! Everyone needs to step their game up now.
Thank you Anthony!
October 27th, 2010 at 8:24 pm
Anthony is one of my favorite skaters to watch, no doubt. So unique, creative and so inspiring. I don’t plan to ever get anywhere near his level, but it’s a thrill to see :)
Thanks to all contributors!
October 27th, 2010 at 8:29 pm
LEGEND!!
best trick was true soul over the shopping cart
October 27th, 2010 at 9:05 pm
one of the best most innovative things, person, section whatever, to happen to rollerblading. its shit like this that makes me wanna quit my job, and move to california. if only just to be around it. excellent work. you truly epitomize the words progression and innovation.
October 27th, 2010 at 9:49 pm
to me style is about putting effort into exaggeration of tricks and flairing them and not doing bull shit pencil tricks – not to say ive mastered it but i think Anthony puts the most effort into how his tricks look so thats why you sound like your talking shit.
October 27th, 2010 at 10:26 pm
What instrumental track is that @ 4:52?
October 27th, 2010 at 10:43 pm
And people say Alf is the shit… This is what I am talking about! This guy is truly awesome! Style, innovation, creativity, vocab (damn what a vocab!) WOW! I watched that edit 3 times! THREE TIMES! I want to see Day in the Life so bad!!!
October 27th, 2010 at 10:55 pm
@ Scorpions douche: if you live to see your twenties, and are still skating then you might be considered okay in your skills if you started as a early teen. When you hit 30 and have gone to Art school and Medical school and still skate then come back at me with your bullshit. otherwise, don’t get mad if you don’t know people out here we know cats before they become somebody. you dumb shit it’s not dropping names when it’s relevant to that video or conversation. now if i said I skate better than someone then bitch at me otherwise you’re just a little bitch no matter what screen name you use.
October 27th, 2010 at 11:42 pm
who would want to grind a german penis???
hahaha
October 27th, 2010 at 11:45 pm
Thanks for all the Support! Keep rolling everyone!
October 27th, 2010 at 11:45 pm
Weiner is my fav skater ever!
October 28th, 2010 at 1:10 am
I think this is the greatest edit I have ever viewed
October 28th, 2010 at 1:34 am
after re watching this I am seriously speechless how good this kid is more edits of this kid. Chosen few best thing in blading right now possibly the best edit on RN this year
October 28th, 2010 at 3:03 am
that was literally the sickest section I have ever seen. this guy’s trick vocabulary is outrageous!!! wtf!!
everyone who rollerblades needs to watch this video to further understand true talent!
October 28th, 2010 at 3:22 am
I hate the way it was edited. Get someone else.
Good skating though.
October 28th, 2010 at 4:13 am
definitly one of the top skaters in our sport right now, keep it up!
October 28th, 2010 at 5:10 am
wow, ur pretty good… haha
October 28th, 2010 at 5:28 am
Wiener for president. I’ve skated a lot of those spots. They seem really small the way he skates them and they’re huge spots. FYI this foo grinds the skateboard ran skate spot near where he lives and that flat ledge is 4’5. The same spot he does gap to top soul/ true mizou/ soul at. Fuckin Epic clip. Long with all different tricks. What a vocab. Congrats on everything coming to you in the future.

October 28th, 2010 at 5:40 am
@scorpion king:
art school AND medical school?
…lacking direction much?
Anthony kills it. Has amazing skills and if I had a company I’d want him riding for me.
One of the best edits of the year, but i’d still give top billing to NILS JANSONS’ less tech section
October 28th, 2010 at 5:49 am
hell yeah Anthony!!!! home boy is a fuckin machine!!!!!! all of you nubbies take note and alway be your self GO HARD OR DIE BITHES!!!!!!
October 28th, 2010 at 7:28 am
Dat was a sik edit ANT! Yall feelin dis edit all ova dah world!!
Long Beach King Foo!!!
October 28th, 2010 at 8:44 am
This guy is probably LA’s best kept secret. He kills it at every spot and is so creative and talented. Definitely pumps me up every time i go skate with him.
Good work Anthony and Good Work Quinn!!!
October 28th, 2010 at 3:26 pm
He spent the same amount of time filming this as Ivan Narez spent filming 4LIFE: 2 years!! Knowing that, it will be interesting to compare the quality of skating he was able to come up with compared to….well, just about everyone on VALO.
October 28th, 2010 at 4:51 pm
for being the “best thing out there” and so great for skating, achosenfew has some of the worst quality media skating has to offer…..
good skating and sick tricks, quinn ruined it like all the rest though. over hyping, his shitty voice, and the filming and music of course suck. get somone who knows how to film and edit and just sit back and pay for that site to run if you want to look legit.
October 28th, 2010 at 4:55 pm
this edit is fuckin sick… this fools my new favorite skater..
hes kinda like farmer minus the gay ass clothes ahah
October 28th, 2010 at 4:56 pm
and his styles RAWWW
October 28th, 2010 at 7:11 pm
my bat cape is awesome, how dare thee!
October 28th, 2010 at 7:18 pm
BOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!! You all suck.
October 28th, 2010 at 10:23 pm
fucking A Gallegos!
October 28th, 2010 at 11:01 pm
WOW!!!!! Gallego’s is amazing!!!!!!
October 28th, 2010 at 11:10 pm
That was a great section. He’s what Ben Schwab would be like if he was good. My only complaint was that there weren’t enough fired chicken. Ya’ll agree mother fuckers, hehe!
October 29th, 2010 at 2:06 am
First trick was INSANE!!!! Very stylish!!! This guy is a fucking beast
October 29th, 2010 at 3:27 am
Seriously almost too much in the edit, makes any mizou trick look awesome. So fucking good.
October 29th, 2010 at 4:17 am
I agree, he has to clean up his style. His arms are flailing around everywhere, shit looks uglyy
October 29th, 2010 at 4:49 am
That second edit was just as cool
October 29th, 2010 at 4:29 pm
wowwww..sick guy…not that bullshit tyler hester and razors shit
October 30th, 2010 at 1:40 am
that was boss mang! he needs a pro boot!
October 30th, 2010 at 5:31 pm
Wow, you’ve got amazing hops and are really innovative! In fact, you should come up with a name for that jump over the rail to topsoul on the lower bar (the Sterilizer lol), because aren’t you the first person to do that?
However, I think the only time you should show 5 falls on the same trick, is when you’re tyron ballantine trying to get a back royale 360 back royale on a huge square kinked rail (or something of that magnitude). Otherwise, it just looks like you’re trying too hard, and someone better than you could prolly land it first try.
anyway, major props, thx for entertaining us and I hope you make it to the big time some day!
November 18th, 2011 at 5:43 pm
ag- ill variations…awesome technical spots. shred on sir.
November 18th, 2011 at 6:16 pm
“makes you look like youre trying too hard” – grow up kid.
November 18th, 2011 at 7:27 pm
Hes Dope, got lot of tricks.
To Kids complaining about his style: I like his style while grinding, but the way he skates to get speed and stuff seems a bit weird. Anybody with me?
Some of that stuff is really old so I while cut his some slack cause I know he is cleaning it up, and I’ll even cut quinn some slack on the awesome video quality, hope you got a fresher camera these days.
Really really good blader
Is he up north going to school or some shit now?
November 18th, 2011 at 8:31 pm
That’s my dog!! U R one crazy mofucka on them skates man!
November 18th, 2011 at 9:01 pm
That was one of the most versatile killer sections I have ever seen! So many switch tricks in there, so much hops, so much tech its stupid. Well done A.
November 18th, 2011 at 9:18 pm
best person on shadow hands down…well besides the farm….jc please stop only hooking up your homies and do more with this guy…if he doesnt deserve it..please direct me to somone who doese…!! thanks
cheers
November 18th, 2011 at 11:24 pm
Absolutely amazing!
Holy shit, this guy is a like a tasmanian devil…all over the place.
Most of it stylish too, but hands down, some things did look a little dodgy and could have been edited out…editing, well…I’ve seen better.
Still impressed by that post.
November 19th, 2011 at 12:17 am
that was so awesome
November 19th, 2011 at 12:34 am
I’m pretty sure this was a re-post, but so what… Anthony Gallegos is one of the most TECH rollerbladers I’ve ever met, while maintaining a high level of style and control. Anthony kills it, every time I skate with him. He’s a genuinely kind person too. I’m root’n for ya, Wiener!
I hope you guys at Xsjado are seriously considering this guy for your AM or even Pro team.
November 19th, 2011 at 2:06 am
wow??? he’s pretty good hahaha??? what the fuck ?? come on pacquiao this foo well kick your ass in warm up, loving the edit anthony!
November 19th, 2011 at 5:14 am
what a trick repetoire!!!! he looks so bendy! playdoughman!
November 19th, 2011 at 7:00 am
Weiner is my fav skater too!!!
November 19th, 2011 at 7:01 am
Hows Santa Maria?
November 19th, 2011 at 9:06 am
wow i am so amazed by this guy… gigantic trick vocabulary , creativ and hard skating, super stylish
keep on skating dude you rock!
November 19th, 2011 at 11:30 am
blown away!
amazing trick vocab and tons of amazing spots, how can you give this to us for free, this is almost criminal. thanks :-)
November 19th, 2011 at 3:36 pm
style was fucking weird, shut the fuck up no one cares skating blah blah my la home boys who gives a shit, theres no one on the planet i want to watch skate for 14 minutes straight cut that fucking bullshit out, stop riding xsjados
November 19th, 2011 at 8:13 pm
words cant describe how good that was, hes an artist of rollerblading
November 20th, 2011 at 4:05 am
Whats awesome is i get the pleasure of skating with him when he is not up at school and this is a pretty fair representation of just a normal session when he likes the spot.
