Tristan Funkhouser #2.
"You go disco and I'll go Funkadelic, man."
DC dropped two new ams on us in 2015 with four pages of ads in Transworld. The new riders were Tristan and Bobby de Keyzer. Both would go on to become pro and are very much relevant to skateboarding right now so that was some good talent scouting at DC. T-Funk has been wrecking both spots and himself the last few years. He still rides for Baker and I think he might be on Vans.
It was cold and snowed this weekend so there was no skateboarding again. I've been trying to watch some old videos on DVD and I gave Grey Area's Neverwhere from 2018 a fresh viewing. The whole video is really good with Michal Juraś having an outstanding closing part. Neverwhere opens with a skater ollieing up onto a car and slamming. The video ends with him making the ride over the car after the credits. I'd never noticed that bit of symmetry before. Try to stay warm out there.
