We’ve all been fans of German’s skateboarding since Logic 6, which, for anyone keeping score, came out pretty much a quarter century ago. In the time since, German has remained consistent in his approach: classic east coast aesthetics, sturdy switch crooked grinds, and an unbridled love for skateboarding that’s shines through the screen — the dude has a smile on his face even when trying to avoid the lock while tre flipping into a cellar door.
“Big Germ” is by no means the *sequel* to the aforementioned early-2000s video magazine part; Justin White already took care of that. Instead, it’s an ode to aging gracefully and never falling out of love with skateboarding, even as you get closer to 50 than 40.
We got some more on the background of the part going live here later this week, but for now, enjoy the video — and if you got the day off, hit up a friend and go skateboarding ❤️
Dedicated to the memory of Tim Achille.
