So it's like an hour-long video with everybody.

But then we started dropping just one-person parts once like –

streaming was available like on itunes so i dropped i think it was the first skate video ever be dropped on itunes wow in 2010 and my last trick in that was it's called a nollie front foot flip crooked grind and i was trying that trick on and off for maybe what year was that 2010 since for about five years since 2005 to 2010 i was dabbling with that trick trying to figure it out trying to i had it in my mind i had it in my vision of like wanting to do it and i would just

try like maybe, you know, a few hours here, a few hours there, take off a couple months from trying it because I'd be like frustrated from it and then come back to it.

So I was like on and off doing that process till finally I got it for that video part in 2010.

So it was probably, I couldn't even tell you how many hours went into trying

I would say at this point, it's not necessarily that a completely new trick is getting invented, but just new combinations are being invented.

Pretty much all the grinds, all the slides have all kind of been done.

But now people are flipping into it, flipping out of it, doing it on bigger obstacles.

The obstacles always change.

Bigger rails, hubba ledges, on tables.

Some people...

have so much pop and they can do it on a tabletop you know what i mean and other guys might just do it on a regular ledge maybe lower than this couch um so there's a lot of never been done tricks happening but i wouldn't call them just

pure inventions they're just new combinations like a reiteration almost yeah do you still get shocked by anything you see oh yeah all the time all the time uh i'm definitely spoiled i don't watch as many skate videos these days um it's just so hard for me to keep up with every video that's dropping every day

But I'm fortunate where I get to skate with some of the most elite skateboarders in the world in person almost daily.

So like I get to see these guys progress, especially the younger guys who are like teenagers and they're developing into their own and watching how they're progressing.

I'm seeing them do new tricks almost daily and pushing the limits.

So I'm constantly getting impressed.

But I love it because –

I keep myself skating with people who are maybe 10, 15 years younger than me because that keeps me pushing and motivated.
