In Foake-us from James White on Vimeo.
How has there been so many good riders come out of the UK?…. There aren’t good spots to ride and we certainly don’t have good weather! outcasts of society, even by those who ride the same wheel size!.. maybe it’s the struggle, our stiff upper lip attitude, left over from generations past? i don’t know, but no one demonstrates this more than this man…..Sam Foakes a true English Gentleman! (unfortunately I deleted half the footage like an idiot but still…..Sam Foakes!! people!!) – James White
incredible jaffa!
Sic ed n blimey it really was pissun doen.
That intro from james has me in stitches! Amazing edit goes without saying really, absolute hammers!
O.0 Killing it!!
Oh my god. All that and in the rain.
holly shit. Amazing.
AOOOOOOST!!!!!!!!!!!
hardcore
Yes!
Amazing skills. Sam has mastered the grey areas between balance and momentum. One look at the rideout at 1:25 shows that. The burst of energy with the one handed whips at 1:38. Also liked that he showed that you can glide stylishly at :22 in. Brilliant.
Can’t wait to see him ride in person again in two and a half months time in Toronto!
Cliff to crack was amazing
Holy Foak!
What the ?!?!?! I can’t stop watching it!
He’s coming to toronto??
incredible riding !! under the rain too !! 😉
So stoked that he might be in Toronto this year!
On repeat as John said..Love the fakie boomerang combo and the cliff to crack is emmense. Good work Sam and Whiteski! Thanks for the upload!
hahahaha holy foaks! hahaha
Sick man! So much talent right there! Difficult as hell what he is doing and he makes it look easy.
Wow, wow, wow!
machete !!
I was thinking, “I guess if your feet don’t touch the ground you can ride on wet pavement.” But then that one clip is in pretty much pouring rain. Incredible riding all around.
This guy is awsome!
So much awesome in this! YES!
Links perfeitos e modernos!
@Brandon – Holy Foaks… brilliant
Awesome riding by an awesome guy, nice work mate!
Watching this dude ride is like watching Kevin Jones ride circa ’87 through ’97.
You can’t believe it’s real, and it leaves you floored every time.
Sam is the new King.
manchester, so much to answer for
holy f**in shit!
Cliffhanger straight to crackpacker….. WOW!!!!
I’M LOST… WAS THAT A TORRENTIAL DOWNPOUR!??
Legendary!
too good. it’s kinda funny watching this as got some early sam foakes footage riding a dyno at urban games about 11 years ago going for double decades amongst other tricks on the front wheel. i’m sure he was in awe of riders like phil, james, michael steingraeber, and many more at those comps yet as time has passed sam has totally proved his skills are legendary in the flatland world. you wouldn’t have been able to do those one handed whips back then on a sabbath. ha. progression at its best.
Ridiculous! Nobody rides like Sam
My favorite rider is back with a vengeance! I can’t stop watching this video, and I’m super-stoked to hear that he might be in Toronto…I hope Sam is able to hit a lot of contests in 2013. As far as I’m concerned, if you talk about originality, difficulty and style…he’s the best.
That very first clip lets you know immediately what’s going down in this edit. Wow.
Best riding I’ve ever seen.
What’s the music? Can’t get it out of my head.
