Antonio Durao #2.



12:45.

The current hot video is Johnny Wilson's Johnny's Vid. Antonio opens the project with his recent switch 360 flip to noseblunt on a handrail in Houston that graced the cover of the June 2023 issue of Thrasher. His part has all the high level NYC trickery we've come to expect. He even dabbles in Yoshi Obayashi's trick realm with a half flip and some unique one footed moves. I like how Mr. Durao will also straight up blast a proper grab down some stairs.

The famous Los Angeles High School turns 150 this year. It's funny to think the school has been immortalized in skateboard videos that probably generate more fame for the place than any of its academic accomplishments. Maybe not, but perhaps.

I always want to call him Toad because of the name similarity to Blood Wizard's Antonius "Toad" Dintcho.
