That video was Atlantic Drift Portland. I liked the nollie to fakie grab he does at Burnside. Emil taking ledge tech to raw ledges is really neat.

Gary Scott Davis (GSD) invented the boneless one in Ohio.

The Ultraman video was cool, but it also had a "we're too cool for you" mood to it. I dunno. I liked the few tricks Aaron Herrington had.

I can't believe I actually found the time to watch both of those videos. I'm glad I did.

I don't watch a ton of YouTube and always forget about Brad Cromer. His stuff is amazing. I know Florida has done so much for skateboarding over the decades, yet I think of his videos as these isolated pro skater in a small town segments. It reminds me of Aphex Twin in the 1990s in some fashion. His videos benefit greatly from being well edited. The absolute last thing we need is more of anything.

I don't even know what streaming is. Do people just put on their Google glasses and Facebook their lives for likes? It sounds awful. Andy Warhol would be so disappointed.

I straight up hate Instagram now and want it to go away completely so obviously it's the only social media site that everybody uses.
