23 years after the iconic 2000 Transworld photo issue Jamie Thomas cover, the gag has just become reality — see #1 for evidence. Some say that imagery has depreciated in our era of #so #much #media, but the actual photo of the trick is an incredible synopsis of how gigantic skateboarding has become in the time since then.
Otherwise, we have some pop shove magic, 540s at Blue Park, a Lucas Puig trick rivaling the work of the man himself, and of course — the Montreal Instagram plaza.
(Yes, the Nike video got deferred until next week in the interests of not having a full highlight reel countdown 24 hours after the video dropped.)
Happy birthday E.J! ❤️
