Weekend Viewing — Eighty Twunny’s ‘Backside Sitdown’ Video

Backside Sitdown is the new video from Derek Thor, Eighty Twunny, and a bunch of Travel Skateshop affiliates. It’s the follow-up to their WOW2G video from 2021.

Homie videos aren’t about propelling the skateboard zeitgeist ten years into the future, as much as they are something you throw on before skating with your …homies. If you get a few “oh yeah, we haven’t been there in a while, we should go”-suggestions without an insurmountable chorus of “that spot sucks” — the homie video has accomplished its bare minimum mission.

But this is a homie video of a greater caliber than that.

It’s got the homie that’ll climb on top of a dumpster to roll off, the homie whose maroon shoes match the maroon bank, the homie that dogs are always barking at, the homie down to land in cobblestones, a couple homies down to land in a grate, the homie with more pop than the other homies, the homie that’s always getting bodied, and a lot of homies that love skating Polish Park.

(Some of those are probably the same homie.)

Great, wholesome fun from all those involved. Have a good one ❤️
