Rest in peace Dylan Rieder, he was one of my favorite skaters and was a huge source of flintstone for me. Going to miss him. :(

still cant believe this. definitively my "favourite pro" or whatever but went way beyond that. probably watched his gravis part once a day for a year when it came out. heres a gif of my favourite skateboard trick ever performed.
finally after 4 months of skating nearly every day I started to work on kickflips today! hoping to land one before it starts snowing and I can't really skate (pgh has no indoor parks). accepted the fact that this will take me a while so I'm just trying to break it down mechanically and focus on every part until I can put it all together.
also very cool side note: found this late 80s (was told '89) Shut NYC deck with 8.65?" ventures and "zombu" wheels, neither of which seem to exist anymore! Was able to get the old grip tape off with a blowdryer and putty knife and a lot of peeling and get it all gripped up fresh, new bearings and new bushings as well. So fun to ride.
coincidentally enough, i sent sknss the 'tomboy' video full dvd for the care share -- one of the skaters who has a part in it is nominated for soty, erick winkowski.
and if you haven't been following @sponsormeplease on ig you should for a couple of good laughs.
we all know how nuts that ender is but damn the bs smith bigspin bs tail had me playin that frame by frame
was really dissapointed by this tbh, feels pretty rushed and most clips aren't as mindblowing as his output from indoor parks and four star clips or whatever. heard it might be throwaway clips from an upcoming quasi full length so i'm really hoping for that.
mostly made me want to watch his mindfield part a 100 times more (which might very well be the best part of all time)
shane o neill did that smith combo in one of his parts btw (arguably better as well)

I'll stop wearing black when they invent a darker color.
