Funny edit, i like it.
April 26th, 2009 at 3:05 pm
keep it on kid ^^

2 years? impressive
April 26th, 2009 at 4:16 pm
i like the song, edit was ok, personally i dont think it was front page news worthy,
neway this kid is prett good for 13 but i know alot of kids who were/are beter around his age
April 26th, 2009 at 5:37 pm
Oh yeah man, definitely not front page worthy, aren’t there some new J.Bah tracks that need to get posted?! Ahh yeah!!!
Get out of here man, this kid rips.
April 26th, 2009 at 6:00 pm
that was gangsta man , I expect big things from you kid
April 26th, 2009 at 6:15 pm
why is this on here? nothing special to see. theres a million little kids like this.
April 26th, 2009 at 6:37 pm
Nice edit. This kid has talent. I remember back in the nineties when many of the best pros were teenagers (Roadhouse, Champion, Neil Semar, etc.) now almost all of the best in the business are 20+ years old. I guess thats what happens after a sport has been around for a while though.
April 26th, 2009 at 6:48 pm
badass style!
April 26th, 2009 at 6:55 pm
“stupid” your wac, very very wac, read what you just wrote, i hope your joking…. if there were a “million kids like this” i think our sport would be in much better shape than it is right?
April 26th, 2009 at 7:11 pm
He has all of the basics to be really good. With age comes speed, style, and more creativity. He is on the right track, and that is why it is on the front page. Keep it up.
April 26th, 2009 at 8:09 pm
i think companys should start to sponsor the young and talented guys like him…..for real. the future starts here
April 26th, 2009 at 8:15 pm
Thats just a peek of what that kids got ive seen that kid back farf a rail and make it look better than any regular kids 450 front royal.
April 26th, 2009 at 8:56 pm
i have seen 13 yr olds better than this. but they were the kids that were skating since they were 5. also, they dont skate anymore. this kid skated for 2 years ONLY and he’s that good. tricks look solid. 13 yr old with only 2 years worth of skating. think about it. thats good as fuck!
April 26th, 2009 at 9:32 pm
yewah def good to see he has all his basic tricks down nothin wrong when a kid at his age spins into grinds but thank god he can do more than that def more power to you if u can do do it but he will be nice when he’s older the style and everything else will improve drastically
April 26th, 2009 at 9:56 pm
Well Josh obviously i was exaggerating. By saying a ton I imply lot’s. It’s common sense, and you are either saying that just to argue me over dumb points or you really are lacking the common sense needed to understand what I was saying.
April 26th, 2009 at 11:14 pm
Stupid…
Yes there are kids his age better than him (wouldn’t say lots though), but how long have they been rolling? Def not 2 years or less & this isn’t even the point… he’s 13 & got some decent tricks & what I reckon is gonna be a sick solid style in a few yrs… maybe you need some sense to see that it’s about his future as a rollerblader that we are all looking forward to, not the next hurricane or 450 trick. I think Josh understood what you were trying to say perfectly, he just thought ur name suited your comment as do I.
Anyway, this kid is sick & hope to see more of him in the near future!!
April 26th, 2009 at 11:16 pm
Isn’t he taller than Cudot?
April 26th, 2009 at 11:31 pm
damn i miss being that young… keep it up! you all did good! love the edit
April 26th, 2009 at 11:38 pm
I met him at the Hoedown, hes relly cool and hes pretty damn good for his age.
Keep it up Vlad.
April 27th, 2009 at 1:39 am
This kid has pretty good style for someone so young. Most young kids like this are sloppy cause they don’t have the muscle control, but this was pretty slick I would say. Good job.
April 27th, 2009 at 1:40 am
Verry good skateing…
kid even has some style… most kids of that age/ skating level skate sloppy…
to al the haters here in the reply’s: WTF? are you guys jealous or what ????
didn’t you stupid blind fucks see he does most of his topsides switch !
thats sick for a kid that age doing those grinds switch…
Keep going lil guy !
April 27th, 2009 at 5:28 am
I bet he doesn’t even drive, what a loser.
April 27th, 2009 at 5:32 am
13? clean style for a youngin . 2 years? Damn! Keep it up man. It took me at least 4 years to do a hardspin soul. Very nice.
April 27th, 2009 at 7:30 am
Most 13 year olds still got their mommas titty in their mouth, but not Vlad. Haters beware…the future is coming! Inspin topsoul down the ledge was throwed!!
April 27th, 2009 at 9:44 am
that good after 2 years, i hate him! props though man, i liked it
April 27th, 2009 at 11:43 am
He’s not that good ! Please make him a video profile when it’s really worth it !
Plus a lot of kids who are said they’re good become cocky !
Maybe he’s about to be a good skater, but for the moment he’s not above the masses !
April 27th, 2009 at 1:43 pm
Great edit and great skating! Thanks for sharing! It gives us all hope to see younger kids that are really into skating with knowledge about the basics, great style, and even some pretty advanced tricks! Vlad, come to woodward West week’s 5 and 6 and you can meet Wake Schepmann, Reed Huston, and Shawn Martin! They are all really nice kids your age and are great skaters too!!!
April 27th, 2009 at 4:35 pm
Fuck all the haters. Vlad is one sick kid, he’s progressed more in this past year than half you goons have in your entire time skating. This is part of the reason why are sport is not developing at a faster rate. Stop all the hate and support our next generation of bladers, these type of kids are the future of the sport, show some love.
April 27th, 2009 at 5:11 pm
this kid IS special, he rollerblades when everything in our culture right now suggests he should skateboard. way to see the light Vlad and keep having fun, if you do that, nothing anyone says should matter
April 27th, 2009 at 6:28 pm
estan locos los saltos y acroacias k hacen ellos pero les falta mucho la practica hace al maestro att nena roller
April 27th, 2009 at 7:41 pm
Film a street edit with him
April 28th, 2009 at 9:58 pm
pft he cant even vote
just kidding this was sick, keep up the bladin boss
April 29th, 2009 at 1:14 am
I think this deserved to be on the front page. Its a good edit with a good kid who has only been skating for 2 DAMN YEARS. Vlad, Blake Parrish, Andrew Broom, Zach Pavel, and numerous others are the future of rollerblading in Texas.
May 1st, 2009 at 6:14 pm
dano from dublin is definately better, also 13, wrecks park but lays it down on street too
this kid has super steez tho, sick
May 4th, 2009 at 5:28 am
this is a cool edit but it doesnt do vlad justice, i saw him skate not to long back and hes a lot better than what this video shows
