Dude Mark's outfit had me laughing. He's wearing a hype-beast costume with the least tasteful/fashionable clothing (just the hype brands) on purpose, I didn't expect that! Dude has such a good personality and outlook, the majority of the OG skaters who are still around rly give off good vibes. I honestly watch these videos 2, especially with older skaters. It makes me nostalgic in a happy way - not bittersweet - everything was so simple back then. Also, always loved Krooked, Toy Machine, Spitfire & even Dark Star (always built my decks with with reds bearings, independent trucks & spitfire wheels!). For a while tho, I skated element lol.

And yeah, what's going on with Bam is fucking sad. This isn't new - this has been a continuous episode since Ryan Dunn died. The fucked up shit is the 30 different medications he had to take daily to be on JackAss, and then his drug and drinking problems too. I feel like if Bam were in a room alone, just sitting or eating, and that CKY song played he'd just roll into a ball and start crying lol. I just feel bad tbh.

And dude that's how I found about Bucky, he was on a Vert tape! Growing up I had a group of a friends and we all skated; our street was the meetup/skate spot when we had no where to go, as another friend literally lived across the street from me (he was the best skater in our group tbh, I'll take 2nd place 😇), & his 2 older brother's skated and had friends who skated. After school, you'd be sitting on our block on a board talking and then randomly another friend would come rolling onto the block and just walk in one of our houses lol everyone was at home. That lifestyle affected me in such a large way - hanging with older kids, watching skate/snowboard (K2!) videos with them whenever they got new ones (and actually skating hard to impress the older kids), using their equipment like rails and mini-ramps.

I always picked Bucky in Tony Hawk 1 & 2 cuz his vert stats were near cheating lol.

I don't skate all crazy like I used to either (I don't have any frens who skate ne more, they're 2 grown up!), but I like going for night skates. Like 2-4 AM. The streets are completely empty in my city, and the streets are on a curve like they are in ur OP vid, it's really fun having the whole street to yourself and just going out at night with music and speed. With my streets, you can really surf and swerve back and forth at high speeds due to their shape and no cars being around. I remember being a lil kid on the highway and dreaming of skating on the highway with no cars on it, having it all to myself lol.

I'd love to skate with Mark for a night lol.

Sry for the rant/essay, u brought out the memoriez.
