The dude’s got his tech wizardry on lock. Plenty of flipping in and out in this part! Pepper in his impressive switch game and a ton of spot envy, and yeah, this dude is onto something. Plus, Francisco makes it all look effortless.
Switching gears a bit, I haven’t really thought about Ricta Wheels in a while before this part dropped. Not being a hater by any means, either—I’ve definitely skated my fair share of Rictas over the years. They had a heavy squad back in the day and a serious presence.
But seeing them continue to back skaters like Francisco and put out solid parts like this one is honestly refreshing. It reminds us that they’re still out here, still progressing, and still supporting real skateboarding.
“Doy Las Gracias” hits us with the perfect blend of ripping skating around a timeless location. Who doesn’t love Barcelona? And Francisco has that rare combination of power and finesse, which makes the part super enjoyable.
