Put together a little edit from some clips we got today. Check it out. It was a little scary, and I couldn't figure out what angle to go at... Ended up being kinda sketchy but I got her done.

It's a really good feeling when you hit something you've been looking at for a while...
I experienced that yesterday, when I hopped over a porch railing to about a 5' drop. I'd looked at it before, and never felt the confidence to hit it. Looked yesterday, and said %@$# it, time to GO! Boosted over the rail and landed smooth as butter.

Hell yeah, boosted and threw my first super clean tuck no-hander at the park today. Something about letting go with both hands has always freaked me out. Same story, just said f**k it and threw down...Savage, I dig all your videos showing all of your progression. Keep them coming!

For me, that moment when I just go for it usually comes after I fall because I chickened out once and tried (too late) to bail.

There's a bigger hop to grass tranny across the street from WC bart. Lotsa room to run up and run out. It's a left to right, tho, if that makes a difference for you. Good stuff- thx for sharing.

Ohhh yess i know exactly where that is we ride there all the time. never hit the rail hop tho, the grass on the hill is shaped like a step down so we just jump from the top area to the second hump in the grass. Super fun. Will have to try the rail hop for sure now haha. There have always been security gaurds there though.. like every time.

Nice dude! Yeah thats with most tricks, or the good ones at least... Where its scary at first and then once you get it down its no problem. I had the same thing with tucks, still kinda scary doing them on new stuff.

And thanks, there will definitely be more footage. My friend and I (the other guy in the video, on the bmx) Are currently filming a huge video. This was one of the clips we got on one of our film sessions. He 360'ed that stair case like 5 times haha. Its going to be crazy. Keep an eye out for it.
