This part is so good it gives me goosebumps. Mysteriously appearing late yesterday, The Worble put it out in collaboration with Thrasher. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but somehow it captures an aspect of skateboarding that is rarely so well documented without coming off “artsy” or try hard. The sounds of Phillip Glass accompanied by shots of nature and the uninhibited skateboarding of Dave Mull taps into a sense of freedom. With gritty NYC and “urban” montages becoming a bit of a #trend recently, this part skating rural and suburban areas conveys the beauty and loneliness of skateboarding that is all too familiar for anyone that doesn’t live in LA, NYC or any other big city.

If someone ever asked me ‘what is skateboarding?’ this would probably one of the first videos I’d show them.
