Karl Watson is the friendliest guy in San Francisco, and possibly all of human history. If you were a dork 14 year old pulling up to the spot, he would be like, Oh, it’s a session now! And give you a high five.

Without the iPhone, Durao would only be a sort of mythical cryptid like the Loch Ness monster or Bigfoot, so maybe all the bad stuff the phones come with, all the societal depression, anxiety, illiteracy and alienation, is worth it for edits like this.

I’ve been all over the country in the last month. And I get asked the same question, over and over again: “I disagree with Kamala’s position on the war in Gaza. How can I vote for her?” Here is my answer:

I reached out to nice folks @walkerCryan, Shari White, and Jim Fitzpatrick in order to help answer the question of "skate videos, why do we do that?" simplemagic.substack.com/p/g…

So refreshing to see Mark Suciu stand in solidarity with all of us who aren’t in Copenhagen this week by torturing himself at a mediocre skatepark in Rhode Island or some shit like that. Sooch is a man of da people.

If you are looking for a fun read…touching and surprising at the same time. I strongly recommend you go searching for Mo’.
If you feel like a fun read about a professional skateboarder, a filmer, and a podcaster, consider my new novel #OFFCLARK. Available now, shipping anywhere in the world. oldfriendsandco.com/products…

Let's see if this works at all. I interviewed @walkerCryan about how pro skateboarding influenced his two novels, which feature skateboarding characters, but are not "about" skateboarding; narrative in a video part and a novel, etc. brendanmenapace.substack.com…

The Onion writers seeing real life headlines like "Kanye West says he's no longer an anti-semite after watching Jonah Hill in 21 Jump Street" and knowing they could never come up with fake news satire half this absurd:

1. People who make money in the skate industry should start and spread an anonymous "how much I got paid"-sharing spreadsheet to increase wage transparency for skaters, filmers, editors, photogs, TMs, etc... huffpost.com/entry/salary-sp…

A couple years ago @drtanlegs and I wanted to make a series where we fake-reviewed those weird products you get ads for in your Instagram feed. This was one of our favorites that never saw the light of day. TIL NOW It's goofy as hell but it was fun to make and I hope you like it

skateboarding told pro skaters you can keep being paid but you have to be annoying on the internet and most of them said, “how annoying?”
