that is the gnarliest ollie ever recorded the length of like two picnic tables and flat to flat no kicker ramp must have been super high too i dont know how many times i paused that clip while he was in mid air blew my mind
This guy doesn't get enough credit for just how much balls he has. Sure, guys like Ali Boulala, Aaron Homoki have done some huge gaps, drops etc, but if they bail at the bottom of the drop they've walked away alive. With some of these things Geoff has done, as he's said, if he fucks up he's dead.
+Sean harris What always kills me about setups like that is that the worst thing that could happen (getting impaled) rarely actually happens. He hurt himself by driving his elbow into his side. Some of the worst skate falls have happened on basic tricks or weren't even filmed at all because they were warm-up tricks. Either way, Rowley is gnarly as shit.
this was lame. cause when it ended i was ready for him to move on to the Container gap and it show him trying it and him talking about how bad it is and showing him landing it.. it like ended 5 minutes to soon, wheres the rest?
Yep it's lame. Also Storror manage to find multiple roof gaps between high rises. If he really wanted to he would have done that instead of just bullshitting about it.
"I'm not doing that again, that was fucking sketchy" Geoff litterally no one is asking you to roof gap 360 into metal speers, why are you doing this man!?
Don't underestimate how technical he can be. I skated Liverpool from late 80s. He was doing massive drops and gaps by 90, 91, but could do any tech trick. Flip in and out of nose/tail slides by 92, 93. Late flips. Flips to rails etc.
In an August 2013 interview for Tony Hawk's RIDE RUclips channel, Rowley revealed that he was arrested during the filming for the 2009 Flip video Extremely Sorry. At the time of the incident, Rowley successfully executed a trick between two rooftops while accompanied by a friend and the owners of the property chose to press charges. Rowley spent around nine hours in jail and paid approximately US$20,000 bail for his friend's release-although the video footage of the rooftop trick was confiscated by the police, the trick remains a part of the video that was publicly released (Rowley did not explain how Flip managed to retain the footage for the final edit in either the RIDE channel interview or any other interviews).
Parachutes are really heavy. No way he would've cleared any of those gaps wearing a parachute. I know you are probably kidding but Ill fact on it in case anybody thought this is legitimate lol
rowley is one of my favorite skaters, but the Wray water tower gap is probably the gnarliest gap ever ollied...the ground is way rougher than it appears, and due to the towers being circles, there is only a small window where they actually are closest together, making it even harder. If you watch the footage he pops incredibly late and still barely clears the gap, with a 40-50 foot drop onto concrete. If you don't die from that you'll wish you did because you'll probably be in a wheel chair for life.

"Just one roof gap. One and done and that's it"
20 seconds later
"But I had never seen anyone do a roof gap over some spikes"
I'm happy he did this. So nobody every has to do such a thing again..
+able223 well worded
I’m still waiting for jaws to just jump down the container gap
Clive Dixon says "never do what again?"
There’s probably some crazy mf just doing this type of shit purely for fun
Rowley's container gap is gnarly, but Jeremy Wray's water tower gap will always be sickest to me.
that is the gnarliest ollie ever recorded
the length of like two picnic tables and
flat to flat no kicker ramp
must have been super high too
i dont know how many times i paused that clip while he was in mid air
blew my mind
Nothing else compares to the water tower gap.
Tyler Passannante the way his tail pops on the last centimeter and his wheels land just barely perfect on the other tower
Ohhh fuck thats a hard toss up. I honestly can't pick which is sicker. They're both bat shit crazy.
Thinking about that water tower gap makes my hands sweaty bro

Geoff is widely known as one of the gnarliest ever
He was always gnarly I looked forward to his video parts back in the day
the GNARLIEST.
who the fuck else ever sought out a roof gap
WITH spikes
just to back 3 it.
legend.

rowley, jeremy wray, pat duffy, jamie thomas, . you can count em on one hand.
The Jeremy wray water tower roof gap is still the sickest roof gap and probably the gnarliest trick ever done.
both are sick but this one was much higher and more dangerous I think
Depends how you quantify, Wray's was longer & flatter therefore mechanically more difficult probably.
But Rowley was higher, more risk, more Gnar.
this was lame. cause when it ended i was ready for him to move on to the Container gap and it show him trying it and him talking about how bad it is and showing him landing it.. it like ended 5 minutes to soon, wheres the rest?
How about we dont get to hear about it at all? Ungrateful
@Not Mick Blotters solid point
@@TorkeyDubs ungrateful... really bruh
Yep it's lame. Also Storror manage to find multiple roof gaps between high rises. If he really wanted to he would have done that instead of just bullshitting about it.
why did they film the back 3 from that angle? you can't see the landing
a a Could’ve been a good fish shot from the roof also tbh
Probably an alternate angle. I'm sure they had more than one filmer.
When I was in high school I wanted to be Geoff Rowley. I copied his whole look. Couldn’t copy his skating skills though.
I tried to copy and paste Mullen 🪦
"I'm not doing that again, that was fucking sketchy"
Geoff litterally no one is asking you to roof gap 360 into metal speers, why are you doing this man!?
fucking maniac. always loved that clip and thought people slept on it. great to hear the story behind it now, thanks guys.
+Paul Jensen Tom! Is that you?
and that one huge ramp on a top of skyscraper that he drops switch is deadly fo sure !! Legend
Based on the comments seems like youre correct. All anyone can talk about is Jeremy Wrays gap on here. This man deserves more credit
Now that's what I call a fluid accent! Liverpool to west coast!
Legend...
This man was looking for sky scrapers to gap LMAO
one of my top 5 growing up.
The half Scouse, half American accent still trips me up. He used to skate at my local skatespot when he was a kid.
danm geoff ..dont do that again man u allready a legend
I’m going down a rabbit hole. First Tony Hawks building gap, then Jeremy Wray’s water tower gap. Now Rowley’s container gap.
Rowley is much much more articulate and thoughtful than his public persona would suggest.
Geoff Rowley is fucking synonymous for gnarly
oh so thats why im not pro.
What would guys like this be doing without skateboarding.
hunting apparently
meth
He's from Liverpool, so either dead or in prison.
Maybe freestyle motocross or some other crazy shit, I don’t know.
Heroin
Maniac. We love you
Geoff is absolutely insane to try this
I know there are more technical, skilled skateboarders out there, but Geoff Rowley is my number one favorite.
Don't underestimate how technical he can be. I skated Liverpool from late 80s. He was doing massive drops and gaps by 90, 91, but could do any tech trick. Flip in and out of nose/tail slides by 92, 93. Late flips. Flips to rails etc.
this is legendary with the water tower gap.
I never understood why they dont put boxes or something below the gap. They still get the photo and clip, but don't risk death
He was my favorite skater back in the day.
:22 i have that poster in my room hanging up (no split down the middle)
anxiety inducing video
what video part is this from
Ye win some n Ye lose some.. fkn gnarly
More like you lose one, since he's talking about how he'd just die if he messed up on these gaps lol
Dude is forever the baddest ass skater with nerves of steel
rowley's container gap tops jeremy wray's water tower ollie. but both are incredible. respect
This is just Tony Hawks pro skater 4 in real life. No biggie...
totally insane... bravo

Strange listening to his scouse accent changing to American
we need an episode of battle scars with rowley🙏
Nuts mate

Bro, I have seen 2 Jenkem vids so far, both amazeballs. Sub fucking SCRIBED!!!
Sounds American and northern all at the same time
The amount of disrespect on this man's name is insane.
Thats too insane my mind is scared 😱.
The bravest fuckin skater in the fuckin world man hats off to rowley!
I'm scared thinking about it
You’ve got to give it to Rowley, he goes in.
I must've missed it because I didn't see any footage of the container gap
Rowley is fucking hardcore
Sick as fuck. All my respect.
This is the trick that made me find out about Geoff
Legend but don't forget Water Tower Gap. Jeremy legend also.
Geoff Rowley - Innovation
i love geoff. what a character. i like the whole flip team
Whats in the containers. Sick gap
You win some, you lose some.
fuckin fearless
Looking forward to seeing his name in the Guinness book of records 😂
jeeeezuzsssss
Maybe the gnarliest skater that ever lived
Was I the only kid that thought his name was pronounced GEE-OFF?
Maybe haha.
Yes
Ge off
Nope
So insane!
La Habra!
Rowley is fucking nuts.
Just wear a parachute. Simple.
Parachutes are really heavy. No way he would've cleared any of those gaps wearing a parachute. I know you are probably kidding but Ill fact on it in case anybody thought this is legitimate lol
i can’t for the life of me place his accent
Rowley from the same planet as Riddick
Weird part is... you cant even find footage of this shit
you win some you lose some lol

500th like 50th comment. IDK why you care.
WolfWould I care
Daddy Geoff
jeremy wray went bigger... just saying...

If you don't die from that you'll wish you did because you'll probably be in a wheel chair for life.
Watch his interview on the 9 club (unless you’ve seen it already) he talks about hitting a pebble just before popping!
Just thinking about that gap makes me shudder. God fucking DAMN!
Vans since 666 Rowley since 666 (okay 1966 and 1999 but, it is interesting right)
win some lose some.
like your life :D
go to @6grip for custom griptape
+WhoIsBlake reported for spam. I will never show them my business now.
+WhoIsBlake no
Just wondering how on earth can he ollie that high with those balls
