Does anyone else find it embarrassing that they aren't actually hitting the concrete? If you look closely they've put some kind of trex or other sliding material on top. |

strapper vibe? Everyone has their style and input in the sport. I though George Daniels was putting down some great tricks on that ledge. Happy to see Byerly putting out skate videos. |

i think they put that material down just cuz of the concrete itself probably not being very smooth. look how porous it looks in the beggining shots. it seriously might not slide very well at all. almost looks like gravel in that concrete. |

Embarrassing was a little harsh, I just find it a little silly that the video is called "concrete jungle" and not one bit of concrete was hit. It's kinda like calling a video "Sick gaps in Huston!" then winching a retention pond right next to the gap, where the gap is in every shot but they never go down it. The gaps are in the video, why aren't you hitting them!? |

Great video. Love to see BT, Daniels, and Byerly shredding it up. It looked like straight concrete to me. Kicker and rail down the gap so jiggy!!!!!!! So what if some think it has a strapper style. Its all about being on the water having fun, strappless of course.  |
