Creature Skateboards' pro skater Milton Martinez recently shared some raw, never-before-seen clips of him landing a kickflip at Sunset Car Wash and fans are loving the behind-the-scenes look.
What makes these clips even more impressive is that Milton was working through a broken foot.
He posted about the clips, saying:
"This one took years. I broke my foot the first time I tried to ollie it, and it stuck with me for a long time. I came back multiple times, and this is footage from two different days of attempts. Super stoked it finally worked out. Thanks to all the homies for the hype and support."
The footage gives viewers a real look at the effort and persistence that went into landing the trick. You can see the multiple attempts, the falls, and the moments of frustration, but also the moments of triumph when it finally clicked.
For anyone who follows Milton, it’s exciting to see him take the time to share the raw process. Instead of a polished, final video, these clips show what it really takes to get a challenging trick like this.
Core heads know that Sunset Car Wash is a legendary spot, though it’s already had a skate stopper installed with big rails around the area, so RIP to skating it freely in the future. That only makes Milton’s clips feel even more historic, capturing a moment before the spot was altered.
Overall, the release of these clips is a cool way for fans to connect with Milton’s process and see a side of skating that isn’t always captured in final videos. You already know that behind every trick there’s a lot of trial, error, and dedication, and seeing someone like Milton go through that makes it even more relatable.
