Thrasher is launching a new web video series dubbed "Abnormal Communication", focused on street skateboarding pioneer Mark Gonzales who, for this first episode, is all over the place skating with his friends (well his Adidas team mates, at least...), all the while reassuring you about the Olympics being a false problem as well as your own sanity, if you ever fancied painting on your clothes. The man just won't age, and Heitor Da Silva continues his attention to the top.
In all honesty, the team montage intro is a bit of a slow burner, but Diego Najera is quick to put things up to speed in a couple lines made of impossible tricks for your regular pro pieced together… Yep, he's not messing around.
Talk about killing it… The Adidas team is know for its ability to adapt to about any terrain, with class, but this trip to Japan allows us to realize how far skateboarding has gone into something amazing to watch territories. And, in the end, just like in football, Germany wins. Well, in our case, Dennis does!
They here, all here, more or less, including a couple of the new heads, and all go hard in L.A. but in the end, the best part is seeing Busenitz and Lucas battle the same manual spots! Perfect.
Yes, he does flow out a bunch of candles today, but how hard does he still go! The style on that handrail boardslide and the finishing slam should be stuck in your head for a minute… Oh, and that fakie mob!
We know it, we wait eagerly for it: Away Days is around the corner, and we can't wait to be hit in the face by it… And this should get you even more jittery for it. The diversity of skateboarding practiced by the Adidas team is here well shown, and we will note the definitive transformation of Lucas Puig into " a full grown "hombre", which is –obviously– the highest compliment.
Past, present, it seems that Mark Gonzales love for his board(s) has never really changed! Proof here in images and testimonies, through a mainstream media that does a good job!
