Metric Measurements.
When I watched Hokus Pokus the other night, I noticed that John and Kein "Donger" Lieu had a lot more tricks than I remembered. I also noticed that nearly all of the parts are a little more loosely defined, with different riders showing up throughout the video. You get a healthy dose of John and Kein's skating over the course of an hour. The two stand apart from a lot of the team because rather than awkwardly flip into some stall and shove-it out, they are blasting ollies over the largest sidewalk gaps and grinding the tops of picnic tables. Their skating is a different take on progression by pushing the tricks they have already to new heights and lengths over technical innovation, which can sometimes look a little awkward upon its debut.
