2016 - the best and the worst of times
« on: November 09, 2016, 01:59:34 PM »
2016 has been fucked for so many reasons. trump, the deaths of countless icons, brexit, the list goes on and on...

BUT!

it has been the sickest year for skating in recent memory! it's had the best skate videos of the last decade come out:

GX1000
Polar video
Bright Moments
Spirit Quest

it's had the rise of lemons and even, it had a ton of super sick web edits like the TOA video, it had the adidas video (which sort of sucked but had moments like the busenitz part), it had a new jerry hsu part even. let's celebrate how rad skating has been this year instead of how horrible the rest of the world is going. add on to my list!

Tiago and Evan are two of the best things about skateboarding this year.

Dylan passing was the worst thing about skateboarding this year.
