how good is Kate Bush's voice, even when it's chopped to shit.

AO rides skateboards so nicely.

wow, I've been listening to that song for like 10+ years, and never knew that was Kate Bush

People in the comments don't seem too into the song, but if anyone actually likes it, you can download the EP it's on for free on Bandcamp
https://marktempleton.bandcamp.com/album/holden-into-ryley-ep

Mark Templeton is one of my favorite musicians, this is maybe my favorite release of his:
https://marktempleton.bandcamp.com/album/distorted-tourist


Sneak peek of what I'm working on currently, doing a Greco compilation of loosies from like ON videos, tours, montages, etc.
So far have only gone through his 411 tricks. Was kinda surprised that, not counting his Wheels of Fortune, he had less than 45 seconds of footage in all the 411s

AO has one of the all time greatest styles in skateboarding.
Hopefully his back injury improves and he’s able to gift us with some new clips.
This video came out of nowhere and it shows how he’s still got it.

Oh cool, thanks for the info. The Kate Bush song it's using is The Man With The Child In His Eyes if you're interested.

edit: also, thanks for the edit. i hadn't put together that it was your work until just now.

Dad Olson won the first vert/bowl series and was voted skateboarder of the year. Still kinda involved in skateboarding in his 60s. Alex is an all time great as well though.

There needs to be an entire episode of Epicly Laterd on the orange beanie era. A trend that was definitely everywhere but somehow only exists in web clips from 2008/2009.

And its crazy how slim shorts, thin v necks t shirts and low vulc boat shoes, like the Era. (Yes, its a boat shoe) with no socks were a skateboarding outfit.

Orange beanies were definitely ubiquitous for awhile, I think that one AO has on at like 1:10 is a Sonic Youth one, like he was wearing in this photo from his TWS am spotlight interview from ~ 2007





And its crazy how slim shorts, thin v necks t shirts and low vulc boat shoes, like the Era. (Yes, its a boat shoe) with no socks were a skateboarding outfit.


That line was from 2011, a year after the Dylan Gravis part came out, so v necks were very hot at the time
Anybody remember those 3 packs of tees analog would sell in those tubes?
