Whether You Skate or Not, Everyone Can Appreciate How Gnarly It Is To Drop Into A Straight Wall (Video)

Whether You Skate or Not, Everyone Can Appreciate How Gnarly It Is To Drop Into A Straight Wall (Video)

Imagine you're in your car heading home from work. You're driving along and look out your window and there's someone (in this case, Colombian ripper Daniel Zapata) on top of this wall rolling on his skateboard with that determined look in his eyes...

Chances are, you stop and watch. Am I wrong?

This is a great example of street skating right here. The definition can be a million different things to a million different people, sure, but this is a classic case of blending your own personal creativity with your surroundings and turning nothing into something in the matter of seconds. 

Boom!

I know there's a slight slant, but despite how you look at it, that is a straight up wall that Daniel is dropping into. Don't let his effortless confidence fool you either—this is gnarly. 

Daniel rips. He's a real skater's skater. Always skating the crustiest spots, gnarliest rails, sketchiest transition...he can skate it all and he does. I'll always admire skaters like that. You can't peg him to one single discipline. Don't even try! 

Every time he steps on his board, it's go time. Sometimes you just have to give respect where respect is due. Hats off to Daniel for this one.
