Cheers! Stoked that’s out. Surprisingly ended up being a hard one to edit as I had the whole tapes from various tricks in that part. New one coming next month and hopefully a bunch of new ‘Favorite Spot’ this year too.

I didn’t watch it, I posted so someone else does and then tells us how bad it is.

Watched this last night - very enjoyable.
I’ll be honest, I don’t really pay much attention to Rizzo or the filmer so for it to be that engaging is a testament to your skills F.
Enjoyed the Gall stuff especially
Cheers @anonymity, I thought the Freddy/New Jersey commentary from Paul was one of the coolest things from that.
On that note, just uploaded some bonus Dick Rizzo here with his part in Quasi’s Grand Prairie with commentary from Rizzo on his spot selection and choice of Frank Zappa via a Quartersnacks interview from a little bit back.

Grim reading but sadly, not surprising.

A much needed article but wish they done something on/in Thrasher on this.

Not sure about the ethics of including Dave Abair here, seeing as the family did not want to talk about his death.
Also the comparison with the AIDs crisis felt a little flimsy. The reason many people did not want to disclose they died from HIV was because of rampant homophobia and the media’s moral panic over the ‘gay plague’.
Regardless, made for an interesting read. I think there is a big opiate/painkiller problem amongst US skaters that goes totally unmentioned.

Yeah that was a bit shitty. I thought it was something else and understood why they didn’t want to talk about it.
not just US skaters, US in general. i meant some yanks snowboarding out there perhaps 20+ years ago and they would get fucked up on meds so they didn’t feel anything and then start hucking off these ridiculous jumps at mach 10. they talked about it like it was the most normal thing in the world
there’s been a fair amount written about this recently

I remember when I was younger the older vert dudes would talk about how the US vert pros were all jacked on painkillers, this was late 90s I think

Makes sense given their disasterous health care system.
