Greg Hunt



I'm a big fan of Greg Hunt's unique approach to skating, especially his part in Tincan Folklore. Good to see that he is still involved in skateboarding. Backside "almost" tailslide is pretty reminiscent of this classic ad as well.

I thought it was just an ollie... kinda looks like that Jeff Pang backside 180 ad though. You should put up some Hunt stuff, I'd love to see what you've got.

chops is supposed to do a Greg Hunt on my request. I get 5 but no Acme week.

That crooked bs 5-0 is sick. SJ did one in a 411 back in the day that looked really amazing.

always liked the way Greg Hunt skated. Sick style.

I think that looks like a bs 180 as well. I think he starts of lateral to the chain.

Im undecided of whether it is reminiscent of the other ad or if its the exact same one. the super suski would be a pretty good trick to perfect.

Thanks for posting the link to Tincan Folklore. I've always wanted to see it. I work at a shop that carries a lot of the new Stereo shop and my homie who orders for us said they're releasing a box set with A Visual Sound and Tincan Folklore on DVD. Finally! Now if Alien would just put out a box set I would have everything I want. Keep up with the rad posts!

Im a big fan of Greg. He is a very big inspiration to me.
Thanks for Tincan Folklore. Have never seen hem skate that much. Made me smile. Please ad more of hem in front of the lens. Impressing and fun stuff. Cant wait to see Mind field though. He is surely magnificant behind the lens and as a director.
