Skate Reanimate

I watched “Almost Round Three” tonight courtesy of Netflix. Rather, I gaped, with my mouth hanging open, eyes bulging occasionally, small grunts and whoops emitting from my throat. Aside from a few short clips on YouTube, Round Three was the first skate video I’ve seen since, oh, probably 1993. Things have changed quite a bit.

As with the Jason Adams video I linked to earlier, the Almost team impressed me most by skating anything, anywhere, and constructed crazy stunts around found objects.

My 7 year old son, who hasn’t been interested in skateboarding yet, is suddenly amazed.

Discovered this video clip through Tea and Whizz, but had to repost it here as this is what street skating is all about…

In this balls-to-the-walls assault Jason proves NO terrain is unskateable.

Fine retro skills! This was probably about the time they started hating on Mullen and calling him “The Robot”.
