Rémy Taveira Nollie kickflip
OK then we have an issue. I don’t hippie jump when I go skate, but when I go filming I start hippie jumping stuff. Do you not want to film them anymore? No I would film them... I’m trying not to but I would. But when I just go skating all I want to do is like kickflip back tails. I find it really confusing, my brain and my body are going in two different directions. I know I want to find other stuff and do other stuff, but then it’s so much fun to do a hippie jump. It unlocks a whole new load of spots as well. There’s so many spots that you could only do hippie jumps on. So once that’s open in your brain you just see them everywhere. After the Atlantic Drift episode I told myself I was never filming a hippie jump again. I was like ‘I’ve had enough’. But between then and now I’ve probably filmed more hippie jumps than I had up to that point! Fuck it. Arthur (Derrien) was asking if you banged your head on that thing? What did I do… I ripped my hand open because
it was really rough. It was dark as well, and you had to just do a little hippie jump then get into a ball and tuck. It was almost like you had to close your eyes and hope you’d land on your board… And just make sure you don’t hit your head. I used to go caving a little bit when I was younger, and you’d go into small dark holes and just hope that you’re going to get out: it kind of felt like that. Just jumping into this really tight space that you don’t know if you’re going to get out of. If anyone else had done it, it would have been so gnarly but watching you do it... It looked like you had it from the beginning. I guess when there’s potential to hit your head though, something can go very wrong. And then after I did it… I felt so, almost overwhelmed, I don’t even know why. It was quite an intense session trying that. Then after I was nearly throwing up, I felt like all I could do was lie down and pour water over my face. Maybe it was just heatstroke? It wasn’t that, it was different. It felt like the sickness from ayahuasca, ha ha. Like an out-of-body experience... It was definitely weird though; I’ve never felt like that before. It was really bizarre. I felt really stimulated and had this overwhelming feeling in my stomach, like too many butterflies, but I can’t really explain why. It’s funny how after trying a trick for ages you often end up in such a weird state of mind and body. Did you try for that long? It wasn’t even that, it’s just that it was just really intense. It was constant, there was no a breaks… I just kept going and going and going. And you were trying a trick just before as well. Oh yeah fuck… When is this edit coming out? Whenever this stops.
