Crailtap just dropped Raw Dawg—a hard-hitting raw edit featuring a little over 20 minutes of unfiltered, no-nonsense Simon Bannerot footage, and it’s an absolute must-watch. If you follow Simon even casually, you already know the dude stacks clips at a pace that almost doesn’t even make sense.
He's had a helluva year, to say the least. Plenty of ups and downs, sure, but he has had his foot on the gas the entire time. Say what you want, but he's easily one of the funnest dudes to watch right now. He's talented. He's unpredictable. The dude rips and these raw clips are all the proof you need. Thanks, Crailtap! We needed this.
"Averaging more than a clip every other day, across countless cities, from full parts to IG gems, Simon spent 2025 doing what he always does, skating like no one’s watching," Crailtap wrote on YouTube. "Huge thank you to all the filmers who caught the magic. Simon’s pure spark. Always frothing, always first in the van, always down for one more. Hit play and relive Simon’s 2025, compiled in the raw."
I don't know what else to say besides the simple fact that Simon is easily one of my favorite skateboarders right now. The dude is as pure as they come and seems to really just be doing what he feels like doing these days, which is oddly rare and highly respectable. But let's be real—Simon being Simon is all we want!
Anyways, Bannerot's creativity is on full display here. Fast. Raw. Stylish. The list goes on and on and on. We can't wait to see what this skateboarding purist hits us with in the new year. Ripper!
