A Brief History of Max Palmer’s Worst Spots

Max Palmer has an eye for the strange. He is as distinct of an individual as I’ve ever met and his skating follows suit. I’ve known Max since 2009, and he has been one of my best friends and favorite skateboarders ever since, constantly surprising me every time he takes me to a spot. I’ve been filming him for the last eight years, and if there’s any way to describe our relationship it’s this: he leads and I follow…and follow and follow and follow, until three hours later, when he finally pulls off the impossible on whatever fucked up “not spot” we are skating. Below are some of these stories. I love you Max — even though you may sometimes put me through hell, I hope to have another eight years following you to these horrible spots.

First Tryyy

Originally was just going to throw this in a drop offs clip, but all the footage made me laugh way too much to just bury it between a bunch of other shit. Filmed one extremely drunk Sunday night back in maybe March, before we started taking any of the pop-up spot stuff around to actual street spots. Shout out to Freddy Gall and Lizard King. I really miss the drunk QS clips man. They haven’t come around much since Marquez stopped being a Fish regular :(
