Leandre Sanders is always putting on a show at the Venice park. The man-with-no-stance, the flow master, king of the park—nobody breezes through this place like Leandre does.
A few of these tricks are so effortless, he's literally just floating atop the coping whether he's blasting into the sky or sailing over those grinds and slides (how dope was that backtail?!)

He kicks things off with that lofty, head-high 360 flip and really sets the tone for what's to come. The switch 180 crook is insane, too, just because stance doesn't seem to apply when it comes to certain tricks for Leandre. It doesn't look switch at all, that's for sure. If that was the only clip you saw, you'd think he's just regular. But obviously as the video continues, he's pumping around goofy, rifling off hammer after casual hammer along the way.
Leandre is just one of those naturally talented skateboarders who were put on this earth to rip. He'll destroy the streets, he'll skate handrails, ledges, gaps and stairs...and in the same line blast through the snake run, huck a five-foot air, set sail on the coping and keep it going from there. He's having fun and clearly enjoying himself—who wouldn't?!—and it's hard not to feed off of it all.
With so much control and such a deep bag of tricks, Leandre is definitely in a realm of his own. It's like he's from another planet or something (in only the best way!) And honestly, I'll never get tired of seeing him cruise around the iconic Venice park, forever making the difficult stuff look way too easy.
