Can’t get anywhere near as close as you have got.

Tracked down the Toasty Ghost video you mentioned, just in case anyone else was looking. He makes the gap at 9.32.

Haha.

It’s so fucking hard, i’ve been trying it for a couple of hours in the evenings on about 10 different occasions, just repeatedly trying the same thing.

I can’t stop until i’ve landed it.

He didn’t even ollie or anything. Just cleared it. Mad.

Don’t ollie, you go to high and not far enough.

As if you wouldn’t try to squeeze in an afterbang once you cleared that.

I’d be chucking a backside nollie heel and enjoying the make or slam, whatever came.

Clearly not a real sk8er.

Thanks for the tip. Going to get back on this tonight and give it a go!

He does skate a bit. Coloured grip type of guy who can do 4 tricks though.

I got stuck in a youtube black hole with his videos last night.

I’m pretty sure he skates irl but I would put good money on him doing some absolutely honking real world shit. Like a frontside 50-50 nollie front shove out. Shit like that.

One of his self made challenges was a laser flip front Smith, laser flip front Smith, laser flip out…

The way he says why in his thick Texan(?) accent is hilarious every time.

“waaaaai”

Just been out with one of my best friends and we played a round of golf we’d planned for ages. It was just what I needed right now.

Fuck. If I get on a board now I think I’ve only got about four I could realistically count on. I don’t have coloured griptape, though.

4? I’d be lucky haha.

Does pushing count as a trick?

I’m now at home. Special leave they are classing it as. The standby engineer and some management will be going in each day and do any jobs that need doing. Essential a skeleton crew and the rest of us are on standby. From Monday we have to call in and 10am to see what’s going on/get an update/delegate work

Yes.

I could probably claim four then. Just.

Did terribly.

Did well, but not sure about the spike question.
100% was directed by tamra Davis and spike just did the skate bits, so technically still a ‘skate video’.

Guitar ditty that I came up with in a few minutes with the spare time working from home allows.

Got four wrong. Not counting Lavar’s stance…

Points off the quiz for ‘Adidas’ and not asking WHY Kareem checked his pager, but awesome work.

Enjoyed that.

Got 3 wrong, including Lavar one, but technically 2 as ticked the nike box on the Joey Bast question when I meant to tick the shelltoe one! Duh. Nearly ticked the Breeders box on the Spike question which I think might be right if we’re talking no skating.

Keen to see another one of these, good work!
