Tony Hawk and Andy MacDonald with incredible vert doubles

August 2nd, 2009 / No Comments » / by Jonathan Young

Vert skating has grown quickly in the last years with ramps growing ever higher, getting new parts added on, turning into mega ramps with the dimensions of ski jumps and tricks going beyond what I ever thought could be possible without killing yourself in the ramp.

Tony Hawk and Andy MacDonald were filmed doing doubles in the vert ramp and this is yet another proof for the exponential growth of vert skills that continues to go on. The double invert and the flip-throw-in-the-board (any name ideas for that trick?) are just again making me look pretty dumb at my monitor again and again. Damn good skating here, enjoy!

DEW Tour Boston Vert Highlights video

Being the vert fan that I am, I don’t bother with the sponsoring names connected to the contests or who’s in the skateboard business for whatever reasons – as long as the skating is good, that’s fine with me. The DEW Tour 2009 went through Boston, another massive vert ramp and the usual group of top pro skaters going really big, this is one good video to start the day off.
