Some friends and I were just discussing the other day how bizarre it is that this dude does not have his name on a board for Alien. One of the heaviest parts in recent memory.

I talked to him via Instagram the other day. His board is in the works, he skates an 8 but said he thinks it’ll also be available in 8.25. I asked because I normally skate an 8.3 but I’ll make the 8.25 work so I can support him. I think his board was supposed to drop in October but I guess it got pushed back a little.

shouldn't

The boards have been made and he has a new part coming out (which will be his 3rd part this year). I assume the official announcement will be any day now.

Him or Chima are def my favorites for SOTY. This was the part of the year. Gave me a Cross-Continental vibes, where even if he doesn't win SOTY or whatever, in 5 to 10 years it will be the most remembered part from this year.

Fuck I hope I didn’t just spoil all the best tricks in his upcoming part for myself by watching that insta clip.  Seems to be customary these days.  Also find it kinda funny that he keeps doing switch basics (fs 5-0, fs lip) on the same rail Blake Carpenter ss flip bs tailed.

Now that I’ve got that whining out of my system, I should add that his pro status is well deserved and I can’t wait to see this new part.

I had similar thoughts about the ender section in [Untitled] 005. It was positioned as this final rail destruction but for some pros those are contests tricks these days. I’d have appreciated to see it end on a long line or more interesting spot. Nevertheless, love the part to bits and hope another one is around the corner.

The color grading is ruining the part for me, it's just bland as fuck (not the skating, the man is a beast)

I mean, that was literally the last trick in a Nike full-length, it's insane but it's an outlier in the general caliber of stuff that's been done there. compared to most of the other tricks that have been done on that rail, Joey's stuff is really fucking nuts. maybe I'm forgetting some stuff, but most of what I've seen on that rail has been a basic 50-50 or something like that at the end of a line.

There is something so compelling about Joey and this part captures it perfectly.
I wish I could put my finger on it....
He is no gimmicks.
No filler.
All killer.
But somehow, not bland.
He's intriguing.

he also has the cover and a joint spotlight in the current issue of vague as well, which i guess is part of his having a lot going downness

Just read the whole thread. Thanks to everyone for the continuous bumping - totally worth it!

What an incredible part! I was initially intimidated by the 10 minute run time, but this was a true breeze to watch. It was over in a jif and left me stunned. The pacing was perfect. Mulhern is a champ on that front!

The flick and speed on his backside bigspin flip was phenomenal; it’s not a trick I like to see, but he did it just right. He reminded me of Dan Pensyl at times. Must be the working man burly aesthetic.


Hoping only the best for Joey going forward.
