I went to ASR San Diego in 1996, and one of the most memorable moments was walking out front and seeing Koston and Lance Mountain together walk by, Koston had a board in his hand, threw it down and did a frontside slappy, snapped it up and kept walking like nothing happened.
Thank you for the video. I'm an old guy who started skating in the seventies I shattered my pelvis a few years ago and now my leg is 2 in longer than the other and I cannot Ali to save my life. My life has been reduced to Slappy grinds but I'm still a very very happy person with my skateboard. Long live the slappy
Long answer --> Carve up to the curb with your weight on your heels and bash the fuck outta it. It helps if you kinda push your front foot up the side of the curb when your wheels hit it. Slappy's are the easy/hardest trick ever invented. Short answer--> bash your front truck into that fucker over and over again till you accidentally ride up the curb. Have fun yo!
The best the best the best the best the best the best the best and probably will always be the best the best will always be the best the best will always be the best of us will always be the best the best Slappy Slappy Slappy happy Slappy happy Slappy slappy video on the internet on every planet in every universe to ever exist!!!!!!!$ Respeeeeeccccct Koooooostooooon!!!!!! Thxxxxxxx Berrics and Koston!!!!!!!! I learned a lot and was beeeeeeyyyyyyooooondddd entertained!!!!!!! I was straight up sleeping on Slappy's until I saw this video!!!!!! It takes an OG to take something simple and make it extraordinary cool and fun!!!!!! Happy skating from Virginia Beach by way of SoCal!!!!!!
you guys in Cali have the best fucking curbs. Live in Minnesota and went to SF for school and the thing I miss the most are those red candy coated curbs. Fuck I miss those curbs.
i seen this dude go toe to toe in games of SKATE with alot of ppl at tampa pro back in the day..., including ronnie creager and gershon... and he killed them... dont let age fool you.. he still fuckin rips.
Is he skating on Thunders? The last two video's I've seen of Koston it looked like he was riding Thunders, not independent. Did he switch? if so, when?
It’s been a while now atleast 3-4 yrs.... Indy lost sooooo many riders when they came out with the Stage 11 Indy’s bc a lot of ppl don’t like how tall they made them
He has been for like 3-4 yrs now why is everyone just noticing? He left Indy bc they made stage 11’s too tall he likes a lower truck, high thunders are more like a mid
Nah, he just skates em and gets em for free bc he’s tight with the dudes at dlxsf from riding for Spitfire so long. He’s been riding thunders for like 3-4 yrs now he quit skating Indy’s bc they made stage 11’s too tall
Can you guys get Owen Wilson to show us how to front salad, back salad and front blunt?
this needs to be top comment, and needs to happen
but until he has an ender ender nobody's going to take him seriously
Dude seriously ABD from 411VM Issue 52
Odstmlg 42 but know one seen him do it.
You’d have to crack his back first
do a kick flip
He did it
kiiiiicckkkkfffllliiippp
I'm crackin up at each of these comments the berrics likes
He didn’t know how to leave the board
This might be the best thing I've ever seen on The Berrics.
That kickflip cost him about $800
I think he got them for free
He got them from virgil
@@Hjaltewang “Virgil”
wear your kicks people!
Shut up grim
As a 45 year old skater this video makes me happy.
It actually makes me want to go skate a curb
same here. lmao....this was so fun to watch!
themanofNeil me 2 , 44
Go do a slappy then, old dude.
Is this the old version of Versace plug?
lol
versace plug is the young version of eric koston
Issa boomer version
always enjoying koston footage. he's funny as hell.
i don't get your question. He's always having fun. Like an Eric Koston. I don't know shit about clowns..
Eric Kóstón (in french accent) like that kid from DO A KICKFLIP
Kenneth Pic Eric kostone
Kenneth Pic Erique Kostone
Jeez. Koston still steezy as ever. So much fun to watch. Good stuff right here.
This is one of the knarliest slappy/curb destruction sessions I ever did see🔥🔥🤯🤯🤯🔥🔥 besides Dennis Busenitz
With the mall grab ender!
loved that
the reason i came to the comments
What’s up with the mall grab dude?!?
batb 11 tho?
S-Online obviously not
I love the sound of him grinding , so soothing

How a slappy smith grind works is beyond me
Like a 50/50 but a little more back foot push and a slight shoulder turn, once the back truck locks you can turn it down into smith
Koston the king
The same way you slappy in any 50$-70$ skate shoe
facts
I think that was the low-key point
Except these are $900+
Off white gave him the shoes for free to skate in em
literally this whole group misinterpreted the name of the video
I like the part where he shows you how to do it.

How did I not like this back then? You’re my favorite skater. Like, Ever?
Fukcin murdered that red curb!! Holy shit every time I watch it I get the same stoke
This was 50x more insane then I was expecting
The mall grab at the end is the cherry on top
Was the last dude Nacho from Better Call Saul? 😆
Best slappy sesh to go down some of that was actually more tech than i expected
Don't ever stop hopping Fences!
He didn't really show us how too, it was just a bunch of slappies
Alejandro Moreno he just showed us hes good at it
Yea im sitting here like dude i havent learned anything

im ready to bust ass my dude
Classic trick tutorial format. "Ok Im going to show you how to heelflip yeah ok so thats how you do it"
should do the air jordan off white shoes like old koston
Jason Adams is king of slappy
Slappys are so satisfying to watch on curbs because of that grinding sound.
I love Koston's frantic screaming
this looks like allot of fun!
Wow... the master is back
Leave it to Koston to make me wanna go skate .
When you are going to post another episode of "do a kickflip" ?
Does hitting a pole jam could be consider as a slappy because basically you are not jumping ?
Nice combos
str8 OG
Never gets old..
this is the best sound of grind
Still a fucking beast after all these years
No more Koston 3? :(
Are there any tricks can't Kostone do?
i remembered him saying he cant hardflips on normal stance but he had it switch
Am I too late saying Koston rides thunders?
3-4 yrs late...lol
Indys no more!! Well damn i am late..
Frostman killin
I see Koston I click
The best the best the best the best the best the best the best and probably will always be the best the best will always be the best the best will always be the best of us will always be the best the best Slappy Slappy Slappy happy Slappy happy Slappy slappy video on the internet on every planet in every universe to ever exist!!!!!!!$ Respeeeeeccccct Koooooostooooon!!!!!!

Are these thunder trucks ?
I love curbs so much
Has koston changed to thunder from indy?
He's still got it!
slappy crooks looks awesome
That looks like sooo much fun. I wanna skate a curb now
you guys in Cali have the best fucking curbs. Live in Minnesota and went to SF for school and the thing I miss the most are those red candy coated curbs. Fuck I miss those curbs.
i seen this dude go toe to toe in games of SKATE with alot of ppl at tampa pro back in the day..., including ronnie creager and gershon... and he killed them... dont let age fool you.. he still fuckin rips.
Ok so where's the tutorial?
Koston the real og just destroyed that damn curb.. holy shit..
Legend! Thunder's?
So how do you do them?
*He did a kickflip*
Guy: aAAAH !
Is Koston riding thunders now
thought koston rode for Indy? looks like he has thunders on?
He been riding thunders for like 4 yrs or so now...he doesn’t ride for them tho
He left Indy bc Indy made the stage 11 too tall they lost tons of riders bc of this! Including me
How can a video be so dirty, yet so clean at the same time. Fuck that’s some nice skating.
froston is my fav
hahah yuto good at everything man.. comes in just to show he's got them slappy's :D
Do a slappy front crooked grind to 3flip to 5-0 grind
Okay .. Now everyone who said that was ridiculous for a pro, now it's going to do the same just because Koston did it on the Berrics channel.
I posted a front feeble back 360 out on a curb this past weekend on instagram🤔
Best slappy skater by far (and Dennis busenitz)
Is he skating on Thunders? The last two video's I've seen of Koston it looked like he was riding Thunders, not independent. Did he switch? if so, when?
It’s been a while now atleast 3-4 yrs.... Indy lost sooooo many riders when they came out with the Stage 11 Indy’s bc a lot of ppl don’t like how tall they made them
Loved this video
this was great!!! so much fun!
Has koston got Vivien Westwood pants on 🤔 or are they supreme or something
Jakeyjammin they look like normal dickies to me
Dickies don't have what looks like a Vivien Westwood logo over the back right pocket haha
David Anderson yeh I can’t tell what they are tho
Jakeyjammin oh I was just replying to the other dude. Pretty sure you’re right and they’d be supreme.
You rule Eric!
vigente koston
what a masterclass!!!!!!
koston!!! i love your slappy's dude!
Buttered up nicely
do a tutorial on how to slappy east coast curbs please. you californians have it lucky out there with those nice curbs lol.
Koston, steezy as always...
is this his fully flared partttt???????????????????????
Thanks frosty
WAS HE SKATING THUNDERS HERE?
He has been for like 3-4 yrs now why is everyone just noticing? He left Indy bc they made stage 11’s too tall he likes a lower truck, high thunders are more like a mid
More koston footy please
kostone for president
thats poetic
i’m still waiting for the “how to” part
🙌
Gosh damn man 🔥🔥🔥
G.O.A.T
must be nice frosty
looks like koston got inspired by burberry erry and mar.c.cartier?
Hey! is that eric cos-dOne?!
Bruh did Koston just Maul Grabbed 😂😆🤣
Koston rides for thunder now ?
Nah, he just skates em and gets em for free bc he’s tight with the dudes at dlxsf from riding for Spitfire so long. He’s been riding thunders for like 3-4 yrs now he quit skating Indy’s bc they made stage 11’s too tall
GOAT
that mall grab though !
So when a pro retires, do they subject themselves to only doing slappies?
1:28
thats what i call pinch
