Thanks for putting out consistent, interesting writing.

Seriously. Love reading Cole's stuff. His book on THPS is a great read as well.

Nah, he posted to his site three days ago.

simplemagic.ca is the new link if anyone wants it.

 I skated with Cole a few times in my Vancouver days and he was always a very sweet human.
 I'm really happy to see that he's carved out something of a niche in an area that's sorely lacking (unbraindead skate media).

i subscribed a couple weeks back when i found the thread where these are posted weekly. appreciate you dude. i read that jungian analysis of skating you linked. that was a gem. keep doing your thing.

Yeah gonna cosign this one, thanks for the good reads and especially for stepping to the Cole  topic when almost no one would.

Feel like Simple Magic captures a lot of things that I couldn't necessarily put into words with my potato brain. A good example is how he analyzed why calling Kadow an "American Original" felt off. A lot of other pieces I feel are like the conversations I wish I had with other skaters, but with more critical thought and information that I'd never thought of. I randomly ended up watching an old RDS video from a gif on the site.

I swear if someone just read his blog on YouTube it'd be the biggest skate hit

feeling seen by that remark. tuning in from now on!

'american original' sounds so corny, especially coming from him (Strobeck).
