Corey Glick #2.



Spirit World Rising.

I've been on a Foundation kick the last few weeks. Corey and Dakota Servold are a couple of my favorite skateboarders at the moment. I watched the F Troop's somewhat newish Souvenir video and the older WTF! video recently. I had sort of forgotten about WTF! It was older than I remembered as it was released in the fall of 2011. A young Dakota Servold kicked that one off. He had hair back then. Letícia Bufoni had a couple tricks in the am section after the credits. Tod Swank's silly little drawings have always looked cool to me.

The Spider flies.

What's the last print issue of Thrasher that anybody has seen?

I've got the April 2020 one with Mason Silva on the cover. Have they sent any since? I've noticed they've been posting new stuff on the website for the June issue. I figure the May issue would have been on the press when everything hit the fan in the middle of March.

Jason Dill #16.



Praying mantis style.

Dill dips a proper backside Smith grind on the bottom shelf at Fort Miley. He was on 23 at the time and was always wearing DC Shoes. I think those are the Rick Howard model.

Jaime Reyes #4.



Jaime floats a kickflip down to the bricks at EMB.

The Black Label Riky Barnes reissue is looking extra neat.

I did a couple ollies and pushed around in the street after I ate breakfast this morning in case it rained later. It started raining on the drive in to work.
