In getting older, I recognize the difficulty of learning new stuff and being able to do it well. I'd like to get back to painting again, but it would take a giant amount of effort to get that ball properly rolling. I also don't like painting that much. I've probably reached the age where I need to start doing some mild exercising to help with skateboarding for the long term.

Ed Templeton sustained a nasty leg break, too.

A lot of the rail chomper videos are becoming too scary to watch, like the most recent Zero video.

Thrasher did a couple contests with junk ramps and whatnot in 1992 and 1993. Galaxy brain spots are reminiscent of Ricky Oyola skating fridges, filing cabinets, and more in the early 2000s. I think it needs a better name because it sounds too high brow for a street sign thrown down some stairs.

DC had a series of ads in 2011 or so, where I'm pretty sure they were running fake spots made to look real:
