December 14th, 2009 at 1:40 pm
Am I the only one thinking that BS is boring to watch ?
December 14th, 2009 at 1:41 pm
yes, you are the only one.
December 14th, 2009 at 1:50 pm
ok !
Maybe in real life it’s better.
I don’t know why I think that but he looks bored himself
December 14th, 2009 at 4:15 pm
Congrats Brandon, you killed that bowl like no other!!!…Victor’s Bailey’s look phucking sweet!!
December 14th, 2009 at 5:10 pm

December 14th, 2009 at 6:06 pm
^^^ amateurs…….bsmith killed it. Rob G too.
December 14th, 2009 at 6:24 pm
finals in a bowl?
are you kidding?
by the way that song did not fit this edit in anyway
besides it was already used in baileys them apples section
shit edit
December 14th, 2009 at 6:28 pm
not to mention that a min and a half of the edit was just a black screen
wow thats the only guy filming or something?
i remember when this shit used to be a street comp
December 14th, 2009 at 6:37 pm
yeah bsmith just kind of has a boring style
back in the day it was cooler
valo is so fucking over rated nowadays its not even funny
baileys cool, everyone else on the team is just over rated as fuck
we are valo 1 was sick, the second one was ok
the third one i totally regretted buying for 24 dollars
December 14th, 2009 at 6:38 pm
no, i also think he looks boring, very talented yes, but feels lifeless…
December 14th, 2009 at 7:14 pm
victor got robbed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
December 14th, 2009 at 7:20 pm
the song for the first edit please?
December 14th, 2009 at 7:21 pm
standard of skating was crap and blank screen for over a minute …WHY ? brandon smith tries so hard to look relaxed when he skates .. in my opinion
December 14th, 2009 at 7:25 pm
Brandon Smith is a different type of skater, not your average orthodox hammer throwing spin to win person. I often wonder how people arent bored of that sort of thing yet. There is so much of it!!!!
And again people bitch, let this MAN shine god dammit!!
I love to see different stuff and I am not ashamed to post under my real name.
Cowards and empty vessels man.
December 14th, 2009 at 8:02 pm
alright, looky here..
First off, that edit was for the JSF vimeo page.
No one consults me when they post my edits on be-mag or rollernews,
they just go ahead and do it, im suprised this one made it to be honest.
I totally agree with you it is a shit edit, (read the vimeo description)
ya, i forgot to cut off the song…woops didn’t really think it mattered at the time
understand that i made this right after the comp
messin around so i could show some friends.
Had i known it was gonna get over 1700 views in 48 hours
i woulda taken it a bit more seriously.
if you don’t appreciate my contributions,
keep it to yourself.
December 14th, 2009 at 8:28 pm
yeah nice ff9 saying right there faggot^
i also wonder how people are not bored with tight pants yet
HOW THE FUCK could you be bored of people throwing hammers?
im guessing your just a pussy thats never landed a hammer
December 14th, 2009 at 8:30 pm
Oh, Rollernews, you annoy me.
B Smith skates like he was born in blades. So comfortable, so effortless, such control. Textbook locking all his shit. Then again, watching him skate in person, seeing him actually miss tricks, only lets you know he’s actually human.
Vic pulled that shit hard too. Crazy fucking switchups and tech shit for days!!!!
Amall/Valo/JSF owns it all. Valo got Team of the Year for so many good reasons.
December 14th, 2009 at 8:37 pm
very nice Bowl and Tricks
December 14th, 2009 at 9:03 pm
DAMN! so boss! illest bowl session then the illest tequila session! HYPER MEGA PULL!!! B Smith is killing! Skate with this guy once and you will understand rolling on an entire different level. THEN he will take a photo for the cover of your favorite magazine. BOOM! FTW!!! 4life!
December 14th, 2009 at 10:39 pm
JSF…..Ive said it before, I’ll say it again…JSF bitches !
December 14th, 2009 at 10:46 pm
B.SMITH IS THE BEST. IN PERSON HE IS EVEN BETTER.
December 14th, 2009 at 11:41 pm
With JAmes – whats the song in teh first edit at the start?
sweet edit too, brandon for the win! BIG
December 14th, 2009 at 11:44 pm
all this park skating is so fucking boring, get out of the park and go skate something other than a cement park or a bowl, god what is skating turning into
December 15th, 2009 at 12:25 am
B. Smith is the man, so smooooooth
December 15th, 2009 at 12:51 am
Frank S “valo is so fucking over rated nowadays its not even funny
baileys cool, everyone else on the team is just over rated as fuck” Alex Broskow? Jon Julio? how can you actually say that anyone on that team is over rated?! and brandon has a boring style?! did he not tilt his feet enough when he landed?! or throw a waiters arm up for you?… actually watch the edit…
December 15th, 2009 at 12:55 am
B is the best rollerblader ever.
JSF runs rollerblading.
If you dont like these facts, your stupid.
December 15th, 2009 at 12:58 am
hahahahah “Who is ESG”
I’m telling him that… he’ll probably cry about it.
December 15th, 2009 at 1:05 am
wow people.
brandon literally mad everyone in that park his bitch.
Also to this douche bag “all this park skating is so fucking boring, get out of the park and go skate something other than a cement park or a bowl, god what is skating turning into”
seriously dude? i would much rather see this that than 12 dudes hitting a handrail over and over and over. park is the future of skating. dont be afraid of change
December 15th, 2009 at 1:12 am
broskow was 10 times better back in the day,
nowadays people give him more props then they did back in the day which is fucking weird
i dont really care about tight or baggy
but anybody who says his style wasnt better back in the day is a fucking dumbass
julio was also good back in the day, now hes just all about valo and how much money he can milk off that
im sure he loves rollerblading but..boot only’s for 250? come on
what a fucking joke
nowadays broskow just skates small ass shit,
tries to get tech with illusion spins every now and then but its just bullshit
should he even be considered a pro?
maybe the standards for being a pro rollerblader just went down dramatically and nobody bothered to tell me
how the fuck did broskow get section of the year when haffeys section IN THE SAME VIDEO was easily 5 times better
December 15th, 2009 at 1:16 am
park is the future of skating????
what has everyone become fucking pussies and got scared of skating street?
scared of getting kicked out?
i dont know what kind of future your thinking about, but that sounds fucking boring
not to mention that this particular contest sucked dick compared to the other kg classics
December 15th, 2009 at 1:19 am
brandon smith-best rollerblader alive?
far from it
i could name at least 20 people that come before him
December 15th, 2009 at 1:23 am
beside all that bullshit talking right here i wanted to add something accurate
the song is luv deluxe by the cinnamon chasers…if you want to see a mindblowing video look that track up on youtube

wah wah wah – Frank S – suck it up, you cant skate transitions and its pretty obviuos you have no idea what you are talking about….
jose – ummmm….top 20 isnt bad is it? Hardest Norcal skater – check!
Best skater alive – probably close to it. One day you will see the man live and your jaw will drop. I remeber this same discussion with Randy and Louie in like 2001. They were like aww man Brandon just doesnt have that star power. His skating is too casual. One live session and he was on Deshi……..Brandon your the best designated driver Ive ever had!

Actually the event was supposed to be more of a street comp with custom boxes and a lot of guys came out just to see that plus the comp was free admission. Valo and other rollerblader supporters came from all out to make it happen bowl skating or not it was an awesome event and people should stop hating.
December 15th, 2009 at 2:49 am
That was some of the best bowl skating I have ever seen.
December 15th, 2009 at 3:01 am
b smith is the man!
the finals were intense, everyone was skating so hard. i wish all the finalists could have won money, they all deserved it. after all the shit that went down with the owners of the park, im glad that we still made the best of it and had the event,
December 15th, 2009 at 3:02 am
oh yeah and one more thing
JSF!
December 15th, 2009 at 6:16 am
hardest nor cal skater?
ahhhah
erick garcia?
casey bagozzi?
jared fucking magers?
December 15th, 2009 at 6:39 am
Ask any of them, Erick, Casey or Jared, ALL OF THEM WILL TELL YOU B IS THE MAN. God damn you must have not even watched the edit, ESG says Smoove is the Hardest at the end of the fucking edit and here you are saying the complete opposite.
December 15th, 2009 at 8:28 am
can`t believe this conversation…I want to see an edit from every hater skating street or bowl or anything else so we can judge them too ;-)…won’t happen. cool down and go out rollin!
December 15th, 2009 at 9:12 am
i dont know why anyone says shit about bsmith his style is effortless … boring as the assholes put it. and valo is not over rated and most of the team is sick
December 15th, 2009 at 10:31 am
HAHAHA…this was a kindgrind contest…and i saw only one kindgrind, wich was ugly as FUCK!!! SORRY…
as for skating…yes BS had really good lines….but thats because they almost show only BS skating….if each skater had 1 minute profile in here not yust BS….then i could say if he deserves a win or not….
December 15th, 2009 at 6:06 pm
frank S… i think you exagerate, browkow skates different today, yea maybe not so big, but the guy has evolved into something amazing, pure creation all the time.
but i still say: this b smith guy is very good, very talented, but his whole pose is so boring and zombie like it’s not appealing at all, TO ME.
December 16th, 2009 at 5:13 pm
smithers for the win! shredded that bowl to smithereens!!
super sick contest, thanks to everyone who came out and shredded hard! we’ll never deal with epic skatepark again though, that’s for sure! look for the 7 ft high grind box at the NEXT comp, it should be pretty “epic” (snigger, laugh, heehee)
heal up soon kirk and danny!
December 16th, 2009 at 10:49 pm
the song please dudes?
December 16th, 2009 at 11:55 pm
song in the valo edit is cinnamon chasers – luv deluxe, watch the music video, shits dope
December 17th, 2009 at 5:10 am
Park is the future of skating because when the media catches a glimpse of skating they wont understand a ally opp fish or a true spin top acid but they will be able to relate to a spin or flip done on park ramps, And what do you mean what has skating gone too, Parkskating is as old as street skatingif not older!
December 17th, 2009 at 8:58 pm
That looked like a pretty fun session! B Smith defines smooth for sure.
I would have been cool if Stockhouse was there to give B a run for his money!
