3 more videos i cant get enough of. the rain sucks and they moved the ramp to the portland ski and snowboard show for the week. i guess wet shoes and a cold apartment is the price you pay to live the dream. but i aint complainin' no sir.
johnny's ender in this, the fs 180 over a firehydrant is on my way to work. i see it everyday and want to ollie it.
... and I forgot about Jerry Hsu in Bag of Suck. Amazing skating for sure, and I loved the carpenters cover as his second song. Also reminds me of a fun times being a senior in high school and filming for Milltown DAMN!!!! I will swap out Ryan Gallants part from the PJ Ladd video (not a bad part by any means) for Jerry's.
my ankle has been sorta messed up for a week now. trying to get all Deerman of the dark woods on DIY tranny will do that. so naturally ive had some downtime this weekish. which means lots of skate video watching. here's the one i keep coming back too over and over...
this is a shot of my old friend Jackson taken in front of his dad old place down the street from my house, probably around 2000. this is only a shred of the wacky stuff he would do, jackson didnt know the pros really, and hardly knew the names of tricks, but would still skate bigger and faster and sketchier then anyone. less of a snobby skater confined to the shackles of what tricks and trends are currently core or in vogue, but rather just a really weird kid who just so happened to skate some gnarly shit. now jackson lives in an airstream trailer with girlfreind in missoula. still doing things his own way.
