That comp looked sick!

Lot of good skating! But I can’t help thinking that regardless of the difficulty on Roman Abrate’s tricks, his skating has absolutely no personality! If he spins 180 degrees more than he did in the last comp, it’s impressive, but nothing more than that. Get’s boring! Try zero-spin to something or illusion..

Good edit .makes me want to put my skates on

@Joe: you don’t win a comp by zero-spin shit illusions or tapping small shit except if you’re american in usa
Comp is about who are the best and who go big ! not about your personality or your zero-spin.. in Europe anyway
And about originality, personality, swag, zero-spin and illusions, Abrate can rules you ! next time you see him, you should ask him.. he’s a nice guy , i’m sure he’ll take the time to teach you some of this kind of shit…

Lewis Bowden fakir 720 face plant was the best trick x
June 28th, 2012 at 5:05 pm
Great edit. Looks like a fun comp. last trick was nuts.
June 28th, 2012 at 7:07 pm
Roman Abrate the best ! Roman deserves more than a Genesys or SL colors custom.
Razors should wait for the next generation Razors boot to reward Roman’s pro career!!!!!
2 cents

Roman should give up with Razors… Andy is just fucking businessman pig who will never give to you what you deserve, untill you get over 30 and you’re washed-up.. and that to be really sure your carreer has been well profitable for him…
One Word: Leave Razors !

I was at both the WCC and the Unit23 open, Romans skating is amazing to watch for the 1st 5 mins but it become boring as he’s not changing tricks, 900 are amazing but when you can pull them off small kickers and just through them for fun all day it becomes tedious. Don’t really like the spin to win style, yeah he was pulling trick after trick after trick but it was the same spins and spin to grinds he was doing all day. It is almost like vert skating, you either love it or you can appreciate it. I’d rather see someone push there limits than play it safe, fuck it give me Hammers or go home….
