    He got lucky there, but this one IMO is one of his best airs ever in a contest.

    Honestly that 2011 New York contest remains in my mind one of the better contests I have ever watched.

    Here is an edit of the contest. Slater Alley oop is gorgeous.

    He really needs to be considered among the greatest athletes of all time in any sport. Astounding longevity.

    Slater's stunning air

    Yea I agree. Sent this out earlier and the response is the same---/ no matter the sport some people can just flow.

    Craig Kelly that CAD kid who Frankensteins boots (Holigersifusin or something like that... Dude fucking rips) ... Candid Thovex (too bad he flails his arms&#128533 are others I think of when flow comes to mind
