Mad ups to you oliver. That was the shit dog!

Sep 22, 2003 Mart

He's... wearing a beanie in blazing sun? PHAT grind... those shoes look pretty damn loose

Sep 22, 2003 Benji

Fucking sweet! Almost as tweaked as Ryan's recent royales. Does the rail actually make an "S"?

Sep 22, 2003 broox

yeah it starts to curve back around toward me right where his front foot is.

Sep 22, 2003 pushead

Sep 22, 2003 zeek309

Sep 22, 2003 Smokey

That's sa-weet! Finally someone else who knows how to pull off a decent, no, awesome royale! (besides Mart of course).

Sep 22, 2003 CK

Yeah dude. This picture is so sick. I wish that everyone could see the video of him actually doing this. Wait.. i guess we will. Never mind. Any way, mad props oliver. I'll be right behind ya on the next demo.

Sep 22, 2003 FritoBandito

Sep 22, 2003 GreenBeret

Sep 22, 2003 Benji

Sep 22, 2003 alexei

Sep 22, 2003 mike

Damn nice, wish there were rails like that around here. I sent in some pics of my friend riding...

Sep 22, 2003 Smokey

Ben, this isn't a competition yo'...

Sep 23, 2003 GreenBeret

it reminds me of the pictures they use on soap boxes or ads. its all good.

Sep 23, 2003 dunk

good stuff... and it looks like you were using a good camera; good lighting in the shade and all.

Sep 23, 2003 broox

VX2000, beeeitch. yeah, this clip will be in the edit of the demo video. hopefully it turns out pretty well... and i suppose while i'm at it, i should fix the videos on the site so they work...

Sep 23, 2003 kaishaten

well i thought since a lot of people have commented on it so far i gotta say something. Shit, it looks fucking cool. Derek I comliment you on the camera work. Hey it's cool having a picture on the net. It's my first pic on here.

Sep 23, 2003 LA

Dude Oliver, that was such a tight line! Can't wait to see the video again!

Sep 23, 2003 Mart

Did you fiddle with the colours at all before you uploaded this, Derek? They look a little psychadelic

Sep 23, 2003 broox

yeah i messed with the colors a bit, i "warmed" them as aaron talked about earlier.

Sep 24, 2003 CK

it looks like it's in Mexico or Arizona.

Sep 26, 2003 broox

i just think it looks really dope, heh.

Jul 14, 2004 Fat_people_suck

Feb 13, 2008 Kain

Call it a tribute to a sick, sick grind!

Feb 25, 2010 Brad

This pic was my wallpaper for the longest time.

Feb 26, 2010 Timuukun

And now it gets a sweet remix! I had a heck of a time making that background because the quality is so low on this photo...but I just HAD to preserve the glory of that perfect royale.

Feb 26, 2010 Andrew

Beautiful.
This is the best image I've seen on here so far.

This Royale is made almost exclusively using the knees, as it is supposed to be done. Plus, front arm pointing straight in the direction of travel and back arm bent at 90°. Near perfection. If the back arm was bent downwards to emulate the shape of the legs = Perfect.

I hope to be sticking Royales as good as this one day.

Totally styling!

Oliver was pretty bad ass in the Saint Louis Demo video
