Our friends at State footwear traveled to Madrid to skate and live that vida loca, but somehow they forgot to invite us. It’s cool, we’re not jealous. Or at least we weren’t until they showed us the short video they filmed there with Chris Thiessen.
If you ever wondered whether Spain has any worthwhile spots outside the marble mecca of Barcelona, Liberado proves that yes, Spain got spots and yes, they are in dire need of being skated. Spanish spots may not have the audacious elegance of modern Chinese cities, but plane tickets to Spain are cheaper and beaches there are bountiful (and bootyful). So let State’s Liberado liberate you from your boring life if but only for un momento, puta!

What the hell is going on with music in skate videos these days? I want to hear the sound of skating but this soundtrack made me turn it off, as it seems I’ve been doing more and more frequently. Guess I’m old and music that hypes people is no longer metal, punk, or anything with a decent tempo that won’t put you to sleep. Wish I could power through and watch what I assume was great skating. I liked the filming, the editing…but stop with the avant-guard music choices.
