I quit skateboarding 12 years ago. Dave has lower back problems. This is the story of what happens when two men in their 30s dust off their old decks for National Skate Day and try to hack it with two dudes who should probably be sponsored by one of those dope companies we used to buy shoes from. Like Adio and Etnies.
To some, skating is a hobby. To us, it was (and is) a way of life.
Those guys we made look bad in the video? That’s our Director of Inside Sales, Daniel, and Connor, our Marketing Designer. Everyone knows botched ollies are the new 360 flips.

Buy the official Deal Closers Only Hat that Dave’s wearing in the video on Man Outfitters, where you can also buy the Outdoor Voices joggers Will is wearing.

You both look like you’re on your way to ask someone’s brother to buy you Smirnoff Ices.

They’re real and they are spectacular.
Yes and it is our duty at 80s babies to pound until we drown
Have a 12-er waiting for me in the fridge. Wife also had the excellent idea of picking up a bag of Jolly Ranchers. It’s gonna get wild this weekend at home.
dennis quaid lookin ass
But they are definitely trying to clear a couple of 5 sets on the way though.
I enjoy this new video series thing yall’ve got going on. I hope it continues.
DeFries pushing mongo is literally the least surprising thing of all time
Trust me, I know. Plagued me for literal decades.
The original stanky leg.
Serious missed opportunity on getting the rights to Goldfinger’s “Superman” for this vid.
You’re insane if you don’t think that was our first move. Sadly had to settle for some royalty free music.

If you didn’t have the Etnies with the super thick, brightly colored laces….you didn’t even skate, bro.
I remember when I was too young to really skate, my friend and I would do on the side of his house and rub our shoes on the brick to tear the sides so it looked like we’d been throwing down flips like the older kids.
I was an éS guy. Koston 3s until I switched to some Adios.
Always saw myself as an Element guy. Man, styles have changed.
Kostons were an all time great shoe. Sadly they stopped making them and I had to switch to Osiris. Great memories of my mom bringing me to Zumiez at the mall.
My cousin used to do the same thing to the bottom of his deck, scraped it to hell on a lamppost to make it look like he was throwing downsick boardslides on the reg
Volcom for life.
love the tights will!
Loving the new video content, keep it coming!

Has to have been Dave or Will that added, “Formerly known as Jack Hammer,” to the postscript, right? Great vid
I saw these dudes from my office (not my office, but open floor plan’s office) window. Made me regret leaving the startup life.
