That was amazing, as said before there is nothing to complain about. Atlantic Drift is the best thing Thrasher puts out.

kickflip nosemanual nollie the gap was exceptional. the little floater on the nollie was so good.


I was mezmerized by him travelling the same speed as the car in the background, and it's front wheel staying exactly between his legs the whole time.

SOTY

Trick selection, spot selection, music selection all A1

Lots of really cool little details in the edit as well. Throwbacks to old AD edits, spots, etc. Will be on repeat for a long time

I’ll say it again, SOTY

Jup, thats SOTY right there. Everyone can basically stop realising footage for 2020, might aswell call it a year now.

SOTY goes to Tom.
VOTY goes to J. Harris.
TOTY goes to Brandon Turner.

Also, if you want to support Tom, now is a good time to check our his latest colour way from NB: https://www.newbalance.com/pd/numeric-440/NM440HV1-35885.html/

Wow. Beautiful video. Love all the subtle nods to the past vids. Thoughtful and beautiful. Tom Knox kills it.

my exact thought. His lines are what my skate dreams are made of.
This is skateboarding, that's all I want. It makes me want to get on my board and skate.

And give him SOTY

Tom is unreal. I know who I would vote for SOTY (limited chance Thrasher gives him serious consideration though). Tom and Jacob deliver as always.

what everyone else said.
part took me like 20 minutes to finish cause i kept replaying stuff. a masterpiece both skateboarding and video-wise. I'm assuming that's a live version of the song from the first atlantic drift. lots of cool little nods in there.
imagine if soty went from milton martinez to tom knox? wishful thinking but i would love to see such a heavy contrast

Bellisimo



Other than just beauty, that nollie flip into the brick pyramid with the drop looked terrifying.

Special mention to the quick front board to fakie after the back 3.
Andy Anderson, I cannot sanction your buffoonery.

I feel like you could drop him literally anywhere in the world and he could string together a 5+ trick line there that would be amazing.

My goodness. This is devastatingly good. I'm kind of in a state of shock right now. That really stirred something up in me.

Although my expectations were high, this greatly exceeded them. Incredibly good video. Jake and Tom always pull strong emotions out of me when they make something together. Sickest video part I’ve seen since.. well, Vase.

God damn. Don’t care about SOTY but Knox is the one in my eyes, without a doubt. Fastest feet in the game.

What’s the Day 1410 reference? Call back to a previous Drift episode I’m forgetting? My brain is mashed potatoes drenched in butter.

Atlantic Drift premiered 1410 days ago exactly, and in the first episode it said "Day 1" on the same screen.

@rothdigga i see you in here, hope you guys at the nb office will give our man a fat bonus <3

Pay cut...ha!  When we did a little office preview of the part I was like "10 minutes seems like a long part man" and then when it was over I couldn't believe the LACK of filler and B-roll, it went by so quick.  Usually people are just scratching to fill their parts but this had none of that at all.  Dare I say some of the marathon lines remind me a bit of Lavar where he keeps going but it's not just easy filler tricks but real, actual hard shit!  The intricacies of like the switch manny across the street or as mentioned the front board to fakie are just magical.  I also still can't believe the fakie tre switch manny to stair jump.  That one blew my mind.
