If this is the level of skating that is passed off as merely “worth mentioning… but honorably”, I think the future is looking mighty bright. Or on the other hand, maybe it is a sign of skate society reaching a dark zenith that it has reached before, prior to collapse. Like the idea that a star is brightest right before it explodes into a million pieces from overcombustion. Sometimes I pretend that because of the complexity and advancement of trick skating, the entire concept of maneuver-based skating will eat itself and digress (or progress) back to the initial skateboarding palette of carving, knee cruising, and miniature ollies, once again establishing the truth that we are all just a bunch of kids looking for something fun to do (regardless of how long we have been skating or how “good” we are at doing it). Maybe I am just thinking too much and I should just enjoy this rad montage from our friends at SLAP Magazine, featuring the talents of a hundreds of skaters fighting for the title of One In A Million. Enjoy your weekend.
