That was a good one - hadn't actually seen it.

There were others out there I recall seeing that I can't find now, but these two are very interesting for different reasons, the old Fausto video for Independent trucks and this 2Hex video (always seems like old mate is struggling to talk) but for the newer process, it is worth watching too.

Has anyone ever seen a 2Hex truck available anywhere?

I wholeheartedly approve of this. "Too bad we're at a street spot. Let's do what we can to we make this as genberric as possible."

Also would love to start seeing a word count from Jeron after each ep. Dude probably said less than 20 with SVD but the lutz seems to break him out of his shell. Weird

I've been lurking here for a few years, but had to reply to this.

From Henry Sanchez Nine Club, starting at 3m15s; Dubz' hella word count just to ask, "What was skating in the early days at EMB like?"

"Skateboarding’s come so far, since then, obviously and a lot of tricks that we probably were like “nah shit ain’t gonna never be done” are being done now. You know? Um. But what made, what for you, in a sense of like how EMB was… just… transpiring to what it was, like, being that you’re probably one of the guys, when it was first kind of like, you know, on the undertaking of being like, what it was. How was that and how did that come about? You know what I mean? Of you just skating there? You know what I mean? Like…."

It hurt my brain just listening to it.

How the fuck is Ted 6’3”?

Nah he's def 6ft3

Maybe he's 12 ft 3?

The words that come to mind for me in connection with this spot are "Dick" and "Rizzo".

Makes sense. The car club he’s in is named the Cross Members(with a cross logo no less, just in case that was to subtle).
So skateboarding is more related to Satan than God. Noted.

What didn't you like about it?

Ok let me just condense these down real quick, and by the way, happy for everyone who enjoys this show, good on you.  Just thought I would drop my two centos into the discussion:

1) If you're gonna use stereotypes, how are they aging?  Are they clownish at this point?  I think these are.
2) I'm not opposed to having non-Italian American's play them or vice versa (nod to you John Turturro), but to cast Iler and Sigler as little Italian kids made zero sense to me when there's tons of other actors their age.
3) The pacing was slow and not in a good way.  David Chase is not David Lynch and couldn't pull it off (though I think he was trying to imitate Lynch in season 6 with Tony's identity).  This did not need to be a 6 season show.  Lots of filler.  I'm sure HBO wanted even more seasons but they should have cut it down (And then a prequel comes out?  Did you care about that?)
4)Most of the show was quite predictable.  You really didn't see Ade coming?  Or Christopher?  Or a whole bunch of them?  Very few genuine surprises in the show
5) The finale is just no good.  The "suspense" leading up to it is tedious (more DePalma than Hitch), and the way you can tell that David Chase wrote a bad ending is that he's since come out and just said, "yeah, Tony died in the diner."  So it wasn't like a good "non-ending" like No Country for Old Men, it was that he just didn't write the ending and told everybody later what happened.
6) The relationship with Tony and Melfie is unintentionally hilarious.  I couldn't buy that she would stay through all that.  I get a lot of fans call that "brilliant"
7) Phil was an anticlimactic bad guy.  Again, it just seems like lazy writing. 

Those are seven quickies that come to mind.  I don't mean to ruin your childhood.  Just one man's opinion.
