Missed out on the Stay Gold B-sides in the time I wasn't skating, damn. Having the camera crew on the Mega Ramps puts into perspective how huge that thing is, just standing on the drop in you can hear how desolate the place is.

In classic Kirchart fashion, he takes the worst slams enroute to landing his tricks but when he does it's picture perfect.

Beating a dead horse with a raging nostalgia boner here but his first shoe on Emerica was the bomb. TIS era was untouchable.

I love the quote.
And I can hear the sharp sound of the trucks hitting that rail at full speed.

I think that's my favourite era Heath along with the late Alien one. Thanks for posting.



On a semi-related note, I've only ever seen that spot in Sean Sheffey's part in Mouse, and then only a few weeks ago it popped up in another 90s video I saw for the first time, and now here.

I was in Des Moines, Iowa last weekend and ran into him at Subsect skate shop.
He was really nice, I guess he used to own the shop and still owns the building.
Pretty cool to meet a legend in person.

Beautiful, I've not ventured into his back catalog (only Sight Unseen and after) so this was rad. It's weird to see someone so light footed on handrails, and he always looks like he's got the perfect posture to roll away with zero sketchiness.
