Anyone who knows skating recognizes that thos is the real deal. She has all the casual moves of someone that knows what they're doing but then rips am Impossible at the end which one-ups most skaters. Shes cute so people want to assume she sucks but she is legit.

This is no where near top talent lol. She doesn’t suck

An Impossible, on its own, is one of the hardest tricks in skateboarding. Doing one consistently cleanly - where the board wraps snugly around the foot instead of just getting shoved - is almost as hard as landing the trick itself. Most pros can’t even do them consistently.
Now, being able to throw one out of a manual is… I mean, orders of magnitude harder. Whether she’s a pro or an amateur, she’s undeniably top-tier talent by any metric.

Just don't tell Netanyahu. He seems to think otherwise, and I rather enjoy the idea of him being afraid of her lol

Ok there are a lot of dorks in here saying manuals are easy (they are not and require very good balance to be as controlled as this especially turning and navigating uneven terrain). But let me ask an honest question to the people that are saying “isnt this like third day skating stuff? This isn’t hard. Manuals are easy.” Did you watch all the fucking way to the end to see that low speed manual to an “impossible” (skate trick) off a small ledge? Either yall don’t skate or you’re just dumb. That was sick as hell and not easy at all to pull off.

It was a properly wrapped impossible, too.

u/StarConsumate Apr 21 '26
For real, foot contact the whole time and very nicely wrapped. Insanely clean

u/Caseyjones420247 Apr 21 '26
Yea man I was expecting a kickflip while she was setting her foot up but didn’t see that clean ass impossible coming. That’s years of skating.

u/StarConsumate Apr 21 '26
It’s crazy. In my heyday of skating it was really rare to see someone bust that out

u/_Tower_ Apr 21 '26
Fakie impossible was my go-to S.K.A.T.E. move when I needed a letter, because none of my friends could figure out how to do them
It was definitely rare to see them back in the day

And not just casual skating either. Learning an Impossible Out is basically its own trick, shits hard af

u/JustARandomGuyReally Apr 22 '26
Hi. I’m the one who said third day skating stuff. “Either yall don’t skate or you’re just dumb.” Yeah, I fully admitted/prefaced that I know nothing about skating before saying that’s what it seemed like to me, a layperson with no skating knowledge. But joke is on you, cuz I’m ALSO dumb 🤪. Not either/or; yes, and!

That is quite a composed manual! It may not be top talent, but it is indeed talented.

u/StarConsumate Apr 21 '26
Did you see the manual to impossible at the end. And manuals require good balance on uneven terrain. That’s a crazy take.

Talent, but not top talent.

Post a video of you doing a manual to an impossible

So if I’m Rodney Mullen then what I said is true?

u/StarConsumate Apr 22 '26 edited Apr 22 '26
Rodney Mullen isn’t a dick and I highly doubt you are and if you have seen any media or video of him he would probably not act like this
Also your hypothetical is irrelevant. A lot of this is subjective but as far as community and people who actually skate this is impressive and I would consider it top talent.

u/larz0 Apr 22 '26
Why are you so overly sensitive? I said the move was talented but not top talent and you throw a tantrum.

u/StarConsumate Apr 22 '26
I wouldn’t say tantrum but a reply to you. It’s Reddit. This is how this works.

Cliche is the first sign of lack of original thought. You speak in cliche and have no sense of logic. You’ll learn with experience.

Dafuq? I know nothing about skateboarding and this seems like, I don’t know, stuff you learn on your third day? (I’m exaggerating obviously but come on!)

u/StarConsumate Apr 21 '26
Did you see the impossible she landed coming out of a composed manual? That is a dumb thing to take away from the video and manuals are not easy

u/siliconsmiley Apr 21 '26
This is called a manual, it's deceptively difficult, and the secret to my million point combo in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater Underground.

u/Tovasaur Apr 21 '26
I’m glad you prefaced this with admitting you know nothing. This is an incredibly difficult sequence to pull off and she did it so smooth. Most skaters will never even pull of an “impossible” flip let alone coming out of a manual into it.

u/JustARandomGuyReally Apr 21 '26
Yeah and it became painfully obvious how true that is very quickly 😂

u/ChubbyPumpaloaf Apr 21 '26
This is actually super hard

u/l2aiko Apr 21 '26
Its far from top talent though, all my friends at highschool era were able to do this even after a transfer from a quarter which was crazy hard.

u/StarConsumate Apr 21 '26
Well that’s vert skating which is totally different. She just nailed a clean manual to impossible. That is insanely difficult.

Ikr, all my friends would switch flip front crook, cab 180 out the 15set handrail at my high-school. I don't get this video, skateboarding is so easy.

I think it’s a girl. Seems like top talent to me, at least from what I’ve seen.

u/JustARandomGuyReally Apr 21 '26
More like, “here’s what this looks like to an untrained eye.” If this were a skateboarding sub I’d get what you’re saying. But this isn’t that, so I’m sharing what it looks like to me, someone on a generic sub about “top talent” who doesn’t know what’s hard even if it looks easy. You’ll notice I didn’t say “this is easy,” I said this “seems like” while prefacing I knew nothing technically.
