      @@carlostulk9855 Yea, you're ill-informed. There are some animals who can put together a crazy part in 6 months, but most of the crazy ones that leave an impression take at least a year or two to actually put together. We're just seeing more parts now because riders aren't beholden to filming for full videos. They can now just drop a part whenever its ready

    One of my favorite (adulthood) "Christmas completes" was an Arto Alien deck with cream colored matching indys. Was sic, and seemed like an Alien second wave around that time cause the shop was all of a sudden full of those decks when I hadn't seen them around like that since early early 90s

      Teams and companies change over time, everyone at that time knew that was Dill and AVE’s company after the early 2000’s ended. Get in the van, go skate and film. Even today that video has an impact. Also it was one of the last major videos that were made into physical copies. A perfect end of an era video, Heath and Arto’s last parts too. It’s a special video and the team added to it. Like Arto said “the company imploded after.”

    It felt kind of like Arto was having shade thrown at him for Danny Way, and kind of like he was being grilled about why he switched teams. Felt like an interrogation/goose chase. He wasn't laughing and they kept laughing, felt awkward.
