Happy May ♥ A.K.A. usually the best month of the year in New York, but you know, 2020 is a bit different around here.
This is the first time we’ve managed to include a clip found on …Reddit. Any help on a name is appreciated. S/O to @brunobar79 on Twitter for the tip on that one.
Also, based on the Active sticker, someone is probably going to chime in with a “That footage came out already!” comment on the nollie hardflip, but let’s just appreciate the trick, yaknow?
Have a good one.

#1 … Hey Arnold!
crank it up!
Omar clip sick as fuck. This part is what convinced ignorant 14 year old me that transition skating was sick. I still can’t skate transition 16 years later, but at least I know to be disappointed in myself for it.
Tailslide around the 1:57 mark is legitimately one of my top ten things ever fucking done on a skateboard.
