The struggle in your head knowing you can do this trick. Friends backing you, there every second of the way. The anxiety of thinking someone could snake the trick before you. Friends right there in celebration as you alone made the trick. I love skating.
Holy shit, I've never seen someone coming out of a board slide with that much speed. I'm sure there's faster ones out there but he is fkn flying out of the last kink when his attempts make it to the bottom.
he thought it was a shitty boardslide but i think that's what ultimately saved him in the end because he was slowly rotating through the entire thing so he didn't have to focus on leaving the rail properly he was just already there. so sick.
Check out Trainwrecks part in IN BLOOM. He Kickflip front boards a big rail while going 80 miles an hr! Its the ender to his part. You canT see how fast hes actually going cus of vid quality but I had the VHS and was always like wtf why does he need that much speed?!?! and for such a gnarly trick????? ruclips.net/video/KsWEbp0gkPU/видео.html
That was a combo... boardslide to rail kiss. I'm thinking thats why he had so much trouble with it as he'd have to go airborne to catch the slide on the last kink. Literally flying for a second.
I remember watching Damn it All and when i saw this trick, i was with a friend and he said out "thats impossible...go back" because he knows this place (its not even a spot). We musta watched Gabriel's ender like 20 times in a row, no cap. The commitment of this dude to land this, 40 hours of eating shit over and over, respect 4ever. Keep this series comin Trasher.
Those are the best moments when watching skate videos with mates. Asking them to rewind something because it was so mind blowing it didn’t register properly
Dude… I may be a softy… But these my wars are the best, they always bring tears to my eyes. You see the whole battle, you see the struggle, you see the determination, the whole story, and then you get to see the pinnacle moment of why they kept going at it, the expression and emotion on all these skaters faces is literally priceless. Makes me feel like I was there with them cheering them on! Congratulations, that’s the best feeling! And you will always have visual documentation to prove it! Nothing better :-)
YOU can go to heaven NO MATTER WHAT YOU’VE DONE! (Here’s how!): When a person first becomes a Christian, their entire past is automatically erased and completely forgiven by God! Simple. Yes, You heard that correctly, you will literally NOT be in trouble for a single you did in before becoming a Christian *NO MATTER HOW BAD*.

Never giving up is one of many things skateboarding gave me and you can apply that determination into every day life and many things. I maybe tired, hurting, bruised, bleeding, losing, but one thing I know for sure I ain't giving up I'm gonna keep going no matter what it is!! We all have that in us you just need to find it and skateboarding definitely brings that out of you.
Powerfully exceptional production lads, thank you, the deathbed visions part is true, mine will be the abnormally perfect and extra-popped tre flip i did on flat at my favourite spot that one time.
The best part about “My War” is watching them scream and fight through literal blood, sweat, and tears all to finally land it and shrug it off in disbelief
For anyone who’s ever boardslid or has tried to boardslide a thin rail like that, let alone a kinked one, knows just how hard it is. That is one gnarly boardslide.
Boardslides on kinked rails are always fucked. I've been thrown back on a triple kink boardslide rail on the ground at a skatepark that really shook me. I got some minor whiplash from it. I can't imagine taking it to an actual set with stairs.
Crazy how far Gabbers has come... I had the pleasure of growing up with Gavin in Tasmania... I remember when all he could do was heel flips, noseslides and boardslides.. Spent many weekends and days teaching each other and pushing each other. After a few years watching him grow in confidence and style it was obvious he was gonna be a force to be reckoned with on a plank. Blows my mind if I stuck with skating this is where I'd be. Well deserved Gabbers
@@dovel9149 Oh shit, you're right. Davis gap and the euro stairs. Good reminder. Welp, he's tied then, but Gabbers works soooo hard for his rail tricks - his wars are on another level imo.
@@technodrome Yeah the man is insane. I cannot understand how any human being can have so much willpower to sustain going back 9, 10 times and keep trying and trying until he gets it and somehow it looks like he did it easily at the end...
Skateboarding is the most beautiful, loving, creative sport. I haven't been in a board in 15yrs but these videos being me back. Those feelings when you hit something in front of your mates is better than everything
I always get taken by surprise when I get super stoked on this series it’s like I forget how motivational these are until I’m in that moment where I need it the most
This is the absolute best series by far. THIS is what skateboarding is all about. Even if your war is on a much smaller scale, you can relate to what this man went through and experienced
i literally just showed my friends who arent into skating his damn it all video part like 2 days ago cause i was blown away by it and how little coverage it seemed to get. Then this comes out the universe works in mysterious ways
This my be my all time favorite video. Not just in the "My War" series, but on the whole of youtube. I swear... This is extremely deep and inspiring. All the suffering is worth it for the thing you want most. God bless skateboarding. God bless skateboarders. May steel knobs never stand in the way of you and your dreams.
So much admiration for all the men at War with these badass tricks. There’s something about doing something impossible that keeps us humans coming back for more.
Absolutely the greatest feeling in the world. I can't imagine the physical and emotional tension that would build up after weeks of trying the same trick, but the release and elation when you finally land something like that is very unique to "extreme athletes". Whether it's a skateboard, BMX or anything else. We all know that feeling and keep chasing it.
This is just insane and absolutely awesome. Not just an insane trick but a very very interesting story of triumph. I absolutely love this. When he said, "these kids, they don't care", I felt that heat and I understand, it was WAR and VICTORY!
These My War videos are so inspiring bc the pure determination to succeed is always there. Also the level of joy that everyone feels once the trick is accomplished is just so awesome to see. This has to be my favorite playlist on the thrasher yt channel.
The first video i've ever yelled "Fuck yeah!!" at the screen, when he made it. That was one of the gnarliest things i've ever seen on a skateboard. Kudos, man.
This is a fucking awesome My War!! Great job with this edit. You can feel the struggle, the pain and the joy! Gabriel Summers has a fan for life now, too!
The best MyWar Ever!! Dude Sacrificed his hair & then his collarbone for this!!! Also people probably died when that structure collapsed without that pillar!!
the airtime while entering the last segment of rail while twisting his shoulders to hop out on the landing.. wow. such a subtle technicality you´d only get by practicing that totally mental scenario over and over. Sick!
I love this. I know the feeling he’s talking about. I only had it once, in one day I jumped down the macba 3 over a hundred times trying to bs360 it. And when I landed it, it was the pinnacle of “utopia”. And that was already 5 years ago
I love the support, they're right there with them. They're encouraging him, helping him. Back in the 80s. Would see people trying stuff too many times we would be like " What a freaking idiot!" Good to see them support
Been to this rail back in the day. I remember seeing it in the Plan B Virtual Reality video and was like “who in their right mind would ever go for that…then I saw it in person and said to myself out loud, WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD EVER GO FOR THAT?!”…well, here we are boys and girls.😤
I know this feeling, we as all know this feeling as skateboarders. Getting beat physically and mentally and being stronger in both aspects... That's what skating is. That's what life is. Seeing him conquer that and hug his friends actually made me tear up. Amazing story.
Incredible. My fav series on YT by far. I'm sure ill watch this 10 times like the others. What a legend. I don't even have the stones to ride up to something like that
«YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE THE MOST TALENTED SKATEBOARDER TO DO SOMETHING SPECIAL IN SKATEBOARDING; YOU CAN DO IT IF YOU GOT ANY SORT OF TALENT RANGE, YOU CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN...» This is the second MY WAR video that Gabbers have and the first one is one of my favorites; this one became another favorite one insntatly.
That comment about the final make. “not getting into a good slide and feeling it, but kept sliding sounds awesome”. Maybe not getting a comfortable slide was helpful on top of the motivation 💯🙌🏽
The speed he’s getting in that rail is wild and to be going that fast for so long while also getting out of it has to be one of the hardest mental battle
I've said it before and I'll say it again; The "My War" videos the best skateboarding videos you can find.
You’re not the only one who says that
Damn Right!
They really are tho!!!!
@@jeff7764 Yes he is. You’ve never said it. I’ve never said it. He says it. And he’s right.
It makes it relatable
Best episode so far! And best quote: You don't have to be the most talented skateboarder to do something special!
Underrated
This really was. Great story overall, it had tension, anguish, jeopardy... and a feelgood ending!
Meanwhile he has 3 "my wars"
Straight up
Pop an ollie! Feels amazing.
The struggle in your head knowing you can do this trick.
Friends backing you, there every second of the way.
The anxiety of thinking someone could snake the trick before you.
Friends right there in celebration as you alone made the trick.
I love skating.
The ground we been there 😤😤😤😤
Couldn't have said it any better myself. 🤟
FUUUUUUKKKK!!😤🤬 He battled another kinker few years back !!!! Savage adrenalin/anxiety mix. All it takes is that one make. 🧠💥❤️
Me who doesn't have friends who skateboard :
Ok

He kept falling forward. on the make the board looks like it's just trying to shoot out from under him..crazy. he said he was too exhausted to bail

Had a full head of hair when he started, bald head when he landed
I dont even skate anymore but man I still love watching these
why not? skate till your fuckin legs fall off
Why not?
Gabriel doesn’t get enough recognition that he deserves.. His parts are crazy and he goes big!

I'm not even a skateboarder and I will never not watch a My War video. They're the best thing on RUclips.
I believe this is his second my war 🔥
A do or die skater for sure
Crazy how far Gabbers has come... I had the pleasure of growing up with Gavin in Tasmania... I remember when all he could do was heel flips, noseslides and boardslides.. Spent many weekends and days teaching each other and pushing each other. After a few years watching him grow in confidence and style it was obvious he was gonna be a force to be reckoned with on a plank. Blows my mind if I stuck with skating this is where I'd be. Well deserved Gabbers
I've never clicked on anything so fast in my life. ANOTHER Gabbers My War... the only man to have two to his name. Fukken legend!
Don't wanna be that guy, but Joslin also has 2.

I love this era of Zero. Super gnarly, actual underdogs. Most of them probably have to work jobs, but still produce video parts like this. Fuck yeah
Jamie should pay them more he has more than enough to do so
The way it was slowly turning back too, the limp + low speed + control
Legendary
So much admiration for all the men at War with these badass tricks. There’s something about doing something impossible that keeps us humans coming back for more.
THIS is skateboarding. The friends, the danger the make. 🤘
this is by far the coolest series on youtube.

Been waiting for a new my war for awhile now and gabbers doing another giant rail is the greatest gift imaginable
Thrasher is killing it with this my war vibe videos. We all wanna know the struggle and much respect for all these skaters.
Ayyy sick edit thanks for using our music! 🚀
I love the "My War" edits. To see how much effort and selfhate goes into one trick shows so much more than a whole video part.
This episode was particularly badass. Best My War I think thus far.
Can’t help but to root for dudes like this that understand their talent level and are accepting of it. Amazing My War.!
This is just insane and absolutely awesome. Not just an insane trick but a very very interesting story of triumph. I absolutely love this. When he said, "these kids, they don't care", I felt that heat and I understand, it was WAR and VICTORY!

So inspiring. This is what skateboarding is all about!
The first video i've ever yelled "Fuck yeah!!" at the screen, when he made it. That was one of the gnarliest things i've ever seen on a skateboard. Kudos, man.
I cheer for these dudes all the time. Kinda how football fans yell at the tv, I understand.
This man has two my wars under his belt and prob some of the gnarliest!!!! Gawd damn that was so sick!!!
That euphoric smile at the end is crazy dope !
Yes gabeee! One of my favorites since a long time
Gabriel Summers is the definition of hard work paying off over natural talent. The man fought for his. Respects ✊
That was the best board Slide I have seen in my life.👍

He's got the Porker throwie on a melb train model in the bg of his interview, IYKYK, that's mad cool
Awesome episode. The commitment to be able to keep throwing himself into it after taking so many slams is admirable
The best MyWar Ever!! Dude Sacrificed his hair & then his collarbone for this!!! Also people probably died when that structure collapsed without that pillar!!
So well spoken. Shout out to Gabriel
by far one of the gnarliest My Wars. What a fucking legend.
i dont even know some of these guys in these my war videos, but i swear i cry every single time.
An awesome tale of a worthy war
Gabbers is a straight up legend! Commitment personified
Ohhhh mannn this is one of the best my wars! Such a battle, good friends, and competition!!!
I'm 51, been around the scene since '76. Never have I seen such a sick, gnarly slide.
That flip in the beginning was gnarly 🤘🏼🤘🏼
the airtime while entering the last segment of rail while twisting his shoulders to hop out on the landing.. wow. such a subtle technicality you´d only get by practicing that totally mental scenario over and over. Sick!
So humble !!! Hit that thing so hard ! Very special moments in skateboarding!
Probably one of the gnarliest My Wars ever
One of the sickest My Wars yet!!
