  • Five trips, four years and one epic switch back heel crossed off the NBD list, Miles' victory at Wallenberg didn’t come easy. This is one helluva battle.

    I was driving thru San Fran one time and I decided to stop by Wallenberg just to look at it. Stood at the top and I was like “ I’ve done 12 stairs but I’ll never try this ever in my life!” The thing is so freaking long. You’re looking out more than looking down, plus it’s pretty high too

    Mad respect for going back 5 times and probably driving from LA to SF, then having the homies set up the ramp each time add's extra pressure. That's persistence and damn did it pay off, it couldn't have been more beautifully executed. Most people don't appreciate how much work goes into the majority of the 3 - 7 second clips that make up a video part.

    All those tries, and the make was so perfect. Bolts, clean, style, no rollerblade claiming of it... dude's amazing.
