Dan Drehobl #24.



Forever in Blue Jeans.

Dan's part in Krooked Kronichles begins with a discussion about the correct way to do pivots with Mark Gonzales. Each is convinced the other is doing them wrong. Dan then does a bunch of pivot and blunt variations on small transitions at a skatepark before the Neil Diamond kicks in. Truthfully I wasn't into the song when I first saw the video, but it has grown on me and now I think it works perfectly. Basically, Drehobl kills everything. This is probably when he was in his prime. The terrain covers a range of parks, mini ramps, backyard bowls, pools, and DIY spots. There are lots of tailslides, frontside airs, noseblunt slides, 360 airs, lip tricks, boardslides, and even a couple of kickflips. Dan hits up some awkward tight transitions at parks and DIY spots, too. This is what timeless great skateboarding looks like.
