Minnesota trip out.
Tanner spins the most awkward way possible into a backside Smith grind with a frontside half cab. For as cool as it is to look back on the old stuff, it's also important to keep up with the new for a sense of perspective on how skateboarding grows and occasionally regresses.
Speaking of new stuff and Minnesota, Dan Rusin has a new video out called Great Northern. I guess some of it is online already, but I'm waiting until the DVD gets to my mailbox before I watch. It should be here in a day or two.
What was most interesting about the latest issue of Thrasher was what wasn't in it. There were no ads from NHS. Santa Cruz, Creature, Mob, Ricta, OJ, and Krux were all absent from the pages. There was an Indy ad in its usual spot. I'm curious if this was a one time production error type of thing or something more serious.
Another surprise was a two page ad for that newish shoe company that everybody makes fun of. Will Thrasher have to stop ripping on them now? I can't imagine they are selling many shoes and the parent investors are writing off the skate program with fingers crossed that it will eventually turn a profit or at the least break even. Do their shoes even sell in the real world?
