Ive never hated Jordan Maxham but was never that into him. This part got me really psyched to skate, I really enjoyed it. I actually want to buy a Blind reaper board for nostalgias sake.

Slow down.

It must be torture trying to make a living skateboarding. Some guys get an immediate pass to the VIP section for life, and other people who are at the same skill level are sucking off sailors to make rent and the main reason for one person getting it and not the other is "cuz."  At least in my career I could make someone else look really bad to make myself look better if I had to.

I'm just waiting for someone to crash through that plate glass bus stop in the ender.
Evan Smith talked about cracking the glass with his truck axels while attempting his flip fs ride and being worried about is breaking.
Warm Up Zone. Let's watch some skateboarding videos.

I've given him shit on here for his weird steeze and grubby pot dealer aesthetic but I actually liked that one and thought he benefited from a change in venue.

This edit was bad. Ender was alright but could have been by any instagram rando. Why would anyone even join Blind? Might as well take a job at a local grocery store over that shit. Who in recent times has climbed out of Blind to find any success?

I still like this guy. He skates stuff that was made to be unskateable, and I don't think his style is too bad, just hit and miss. He's a weird fit on Blind, but then he seems to enjoy weird fits.

Part is nice, loved the nollie flip back three. He seems like a very chill guy. Growing to love that Maxham/Bachinsky/Santiago crew

Clearly when being able to do very difficult skateboarding tricks doesn't matter.

Ps Gummo.

[close]

No one can or has to fit Blind in this day and age.

I see what you mean but think that Blind actually has a pretty consistent (if not likeable) team these days in terms of what they do and how they skate: difficult tech and/or rail tricks with rather bland style (Mickey Papa, CodyMac, Mike Piwowar, Sewa until recently, TJ Rogers). Maxham doesn't fit with that program.

his number of rails hit to time spent grinding ratio is way off.

I noticed that too. Lots of rail skating, very little grindage.

Yuto
Yuto turned down a few thousand per month from Weiss, and refuses to go pro for Weiss. He's trying to weasel his way out the contract. good for him.

He dresses like he's sponsored by the Zumiez sale rack.

A few good clips, but another otherwise forgettable part from Bland Skateboards.
