Skate Confessional

Always been a massive believer of one song parts are the best but Lost & Found is one of the only videos that gets a two song pass in my book oddly enough, Danny Brady’s part. His and Jason Lee’s in Video Days. There are probably a few more I can’t think of right now.

Fuck you Ty Evans for what you did to MJ’s Fully Flared never ending section!

yeah but Travis

Lost & Found is brilliant.
but
i rewatched Brady’s part after hearing The Delgados. all the (palpable) hype built during “Coming in from The Cold” went limp when “Sugarman” started. had it been trimmed to fit one song, it would’ve been immense - Brady was skating like an otherworldly mix of Penny and Toby Shuall

and yeah, that 15 year MJ part. the poor sod

Not into Travis but I love the way Jensen’s section starts. That mellow tune with the B-roll footage then that line with the best nollie frontside flip and the Travis songs that kicks in (before it gets too Travis), it works so well.

Never thought about Brady as a mix of Penny and Shuall but it makes sense for sure, and I never compare anyone to Penny.

in particular, 93 - 94 era Penny.
there’s a little magical ferret to both of their skating styles - razor sharp, but softly loose

(yay language contradictions! heh)
