Lizard King Passion Trip Episode 6: Figgy and Jaws WTF!!!

This, the concluding episode in the Passion Trip, is super skate heavy, unlike the previous 2 episodes. It kicks off with the crew waking up only to take Figgy straight to a super skinny 17 stair rail which he proceeds to front smith like it ain't no thang. This series has really made me realized how fucking gnarly Figgy is and I'm so stoked on all the upcoming coverage I anticipate coming our way in upcoming months. After the breakfast rail, they proceed to flat bar to 3 stair spot which looked super fun to skate. Figgy front lips to fake and 5050s the rail to pop out over the 3 stair. Jaws back crooks the rail and Nuge fs 5-0s and front smiths it. The destruction is far from over at this point however, and after a quick signing at Krooks skate shop they head to a demo at a skate park, where for the first time in the series Neen steps up to the plate and puts the hammer down. After seeing Neen skate in person a few months ago I've begun considering myself a huge fan, as this dude is super talented and seems to have a rad attitude in regards to skating in general. He absolutely kills the park, rattling tricks off one by one. He front crooks, back tails and back smiths the 8 stair rail and then varial heels, hardflips, heelflip and inward heels the set of stairs, all in smooth butta pop style. The skating continues after the demo and the drew head over to an after party/session at a locals crib. On the backyard mini ramp Lizard drops in off the roof to 5050 to fakie on the mini which was rad and then it looks like the boys have a rad ol' night with some locals. Probably the craziest part of this episode, if not the whole series is Jaws' fucking gigantor Ollie over the 25 stair with the 6 stair on the side. This thing is seriously huuuuuuge and I can't fathom even trying to huck myself down it. By now we all know that Jaws is not human and that his knees are made from some kind of space aged adamantium wolverine type shit, but even for him this is fucking gnaaaarly. He breaks his own board on one of the first attempts, but I get the feeling it takes a lot to shut this kid down. He hops on Nuge's board and within a few tries stomps the fucking craziest ollie I've seen in a long time. This dude is a beast and I honestly don't expect to see him riding for Birdhouse for much longer, but I guess we shall see. The level of motivation and "passion" that they possess in regards to skateboarding is seriously unparallelled by anything I have seen in a long time. After the insane 25 stair carcass toss, they move onto a double set, where Jaws insanely continues to skate. Jaws heelflips it and Figgy bs flips it, all in a day's work. The craziness is far from over however and while back in the RV, late night style, but still the same day, the dudes spot a gnarly knobbed 11 stair rail. I don't know how they skate a rail as gnarly as this, especially one that is knobbed and especially especially after skating their ass off all day, but Jaws and Figgy continue to fuck shit up on this rail. Figgy front boards it and Jaws front lips it before hopping back on the RV like nothing happened. Whatever amount of shit people talk about the Baker/Deathwish dudes and their proclivity for partying need to watch this. Most of us that consider ourselves actual skaters would be hard pressed to find this level of motivation and dedication on any given day and the fact that they do, all while having put on a demo earlier in the day is pretty indicative of how they got to where they did in the skate world.
