Josh Letona : Oldschool profile
Here is an oldschool profile of Josh Letona (from which vhs ?). Thanks to Chris for uploading it and contacting me.
It’s amazing how back in the day Josh Letona already did so much negative tricks.

November 10th, 2006 at 5:54 pm
i didnt liked the style unfortunately, but i like old school skating:D
November 10th, 2006 at 6:21 pm
Freak ! :D
November 10th, 2006 at 6:23 pm
…you guys must be out of your fucking mind! Do you even know how long ago that was??? He´s like “the” best railskater of that period! Nobody did those switc-ups at that time! And didn´t you see that sick negative-mistral? No style you say? You guys stoned? And to iLLdWes, yes those are oxygens…the good old tanks…
November 10th, 2006 at 6:32 pm
I’m all for negative tricks so long as they look good, and absolutely none of those tricks looked good at all. Also, skating that slowly never looks good.
I couldn’t care less how technically difficult it is to do those tricks, because they look shit.
November 10th, 2006 at 7:19 pm
…man bet you couldn´t do a single one of them so just rest your fingers and quit posting shit…
November 10th, 2006 at 7:40 pm
Tom, you better stop skating please
On the imyta years ago Josh Letona is doing a hurricane 360 topsoul on a crazy rail, on of the first so if you like skating and respect skating you better respect this guy.
November 10th, 2006 at 7:41 pm
yeahhh thats my boyyyyy that fool has been calling me all morning and ive been ignoring him because he always calls a 6 am for money to buy a sack but this fool is getting picked up today he laced 540 neg kind grind a couple months back
November 10th, 2006 at 7:42 pm
ahah i used to have oxygens… negatives were made a little easier when those skates came out….some of you guys are crazy these trick are hard as hell, i hardly see any one doing all those tricks now. They dont look that great cuz they are HARD!! plus if you remember oxygens they are kinda heavy and look like space boots =) This guys ownz, and you guys should recognize it stop hating so damn much!! THESE TRICKS ARE NOT EASY!!
November 10th, 2006 at 7:47 pm
holy shit those negative grinds were sick. he has amazing style. Negative tricks are so hard to do
November 10th, 2006 at 8:50 pm
Why oh why do rollerbladers hate on their own sport so much. You guys sound so much like skateboard haters. Geez every little thing is never good enough for you guys. All you ever do is complain complain complain. Just skate for Pete’s sake!
November 10th, 2006 at 8:58 pm
omg, he is the negative grind god. and those negative plates were soooo small back then :O
November 10th, 2006 at 9:29 pm
See!? Those fellas know what tey´re talkin´ bout! Ain´t nothin harder than an alley-oop negative fishy!…so to all y´all bitchin about it…..aaah…whatever you just don´t know….
November 10th, 2006 at 10:42 pm
shit for real back in the day did you ever see anyone with style like people today, no because the skates and the sport was not developed enough, for him being able to do those tricks then is the same as doing them today with good skates and style and maybe even better.
November 10th, 2006 at 10:48 pm
Wow, a lot of negative comments. pun intended.
November 10th, 2006 at 11:56 pm
and even Arlo makes a non-skating appearance, is anyone going to call him a bad skater because of his unusual style too?
November 11th, 2006 at 12:00 am
i think that the profile was amazin…and i think that his style is amazin…for the time those tricks were amazin and for sure josh letona deserves much more exposure than he got….and to those that think his style is ugly…i would love to see how ur truespin ruff neg kindgrinds would look especially considerin he did it on oxygens
November 11th, 2006 at 1:03 am
i didnt like that at all
November 11th, 2006 at 4:22 am

ITs not an oldschool video,in this days is future.OR is anybody who can do his tricks? NO…
JOSh IS A MAN WHO DO DOSEN OF TRICKS FIRST TIME ON THE HISTORY OF BLADEING.
SO if yous say is shit,remember bladeing is his game not yours hi is the man and you are nobodey.
SO Go to hell and change your skate to askateboard and go to skate hand in hand with tony hawk:-)
November 11th, 2006 at 3:26 pm
I sure as hell can’t do those tricks, I’m just saying I don’t like them. Since when does every rollerblader have to like what every other rollerblader does?
November 11th, 2006 at 8:16 pm
I go with Lukas, Josh Letona was way better than most of the pros today!!! He was doing this tricks with oxygen skates. To all the haters, go out get some of these old skates and do some tricks and then try negative tricks and you will know how fucking good this guy was!
And his style is almost perfect, look at his other tricks too, 270 outspin royale with much style, true spin rough kindgrind so what he was hella good!
November 12th, 2006 at 2:26 am
juas.. el tio sin tobillos..
totalmente oldschool.. XD cualquiera aria eso oy en dia.. ;)
November 12th, 2006 at 6:48 pm
Wow… he reincarnated to haffey/aragon
November 12th, 2006 at 9:29 pm
that sucked,,,,,,just wat i think…2many negatives
November 13th, 2006 at 11:14 am
People hating on neggy tricks are insane. They are THE HARDEST grinds to do.” Oh well they look ugly” well ugly is in the eye of the beholder. Just ask your dad. They are harder than groove tricks and standard soul tricks combined.I think I’m a pretty good skater and I can only manage a neggy mizou, and a double neggy on square rails.
November 13th, 2006 at 11:22 am
Did anyone notice that he accidentally did an ao rough grind When he did the kindgrind? I could be wrong, the video is kinda fuzzy. But if he did, I ‘m pretty sure that nobody else could pull that back in the day.
November 13th, 2006 at 11:28 am
Nevermind what I just said. I was only at the begginning of the edit when I wrote it . He pulled the trick again later and it is clear that he did it on purpose. I’m dumb. Shame on me.
November 15th, 2006 at 5:00 am
I bet he could pretty much do any of the tricks people do now days, I mean true spin to negatives and shit are impossible for most people. Too bad he no longer skates.
November 16th, 2006 at 5:14 am
well
November 16th, 2006 at 5:18 am
have you guys seen kizer insiders realeased in 2002 or 2003 ….josh letona is still skating and still the best negative skater there is ….he also throw down 450 bs royale on handrail and crazy stuff like that.
(ive I also seen a couple appearance in friends section of more recent video)
If you didnt see this video then get it josh letona section is the best one from my point of view and hes section will amaze how this guy can negative and spin to negative… and do normal crazy stuff also….
November 17th, 2006 at 6:36 pm
yo they salomons and is it me or did he do the best half cab bs backslide ever
