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.

This Year Halloween Fell On A…

Sorry, sometimes the headline is too obvious to resist 💋

WOW2G is a new 22-minute video by Eighty Twenty, Hell World, and the Travel Skateshop family. Half-New York, half-Jersey spots. Aron Moloney (first full part) and Derek Thor (second-to-last part) both crush it. The pinches on those switch front crooked grinds!

Also a decent dose of Jersey City footy in Neema Joorabchi’s new B-roll montage.

If you haven’t seen Fred Gall’s “Out There” on Thrasher, it fucking rules. Make yourself a nice sandwich and throw on his Bobshirt interview from 2018 afterwards.
