Carlos Ribeiro and Felipe Gustavo are both gnarly enough on their own—each extremely skilled, stylish, talented. But put them together, on basically the same obstacle nonetheless, and what you get is twice the heat!
It's not like they're both doing nollie flips down the set (which, in fairness, would still be gnarly), or double crooks...whatever, fill in the blank—but synchronized nollie flip crooks on a handrail? Yooooo....

I'm glad someone left a comment saying what most of us were probably thinking, "Skateboarding is wild now. How is this the norm " I've seen a lot of progression over the years, as I'm sure most of you reading this have as well, but that doesn't mean I'm not constantly reminded (and surprised) at some of the content, tricks and clips that we get fed on a daily basis.
What I love about the relationship these two share is how clearly they feed off each other and motivate each other. It's a powerful case of what progression can look like when you're checking all the boxes—putting in the hours, getting a little better every day, staying motivated and disciplined, and ultimately, enjoying themselves along the way. You can see it when they skate, you can feel it, and it's hard not to admire.
Skatepark rail or not, this is not normal...but to these two, it is. And that's what separates the GOATS from the greats.
