I just watched the “25 Years of Washington St DIY” video and Internet Birthday’s Episode 2 and 3 on Thrasher YouTube as I ate an early lunch.

I love the hesh scene. Who remembers that “Hesh Vs Fresh” Thrasher cover with Wade and Daewon? Go look it up. Being from San Diego, I love that Washington St is an iconic spot in our city. I grew up seeing Burnside and Phillyside skated by pros and in videos. I’m always hyped to see Washington St pop up in videos of both local and non-local skaters. From observation, I can see all these parks are heavy. I’ve only skated Washington St and let me tell you, it’s gnarly. I can imagine the same for Burnside and Phillyside. Each of these parks have their scene, their skaters, and their clips: I’m thankful for and love them all.

Whoever “Internet Birthday” is, you cool. Those videos were dope. I’m a bit out of touch with current skaters; they’re so many. Start to finish, the videos are amazing. So so so so so many good clips. Watch them both. But, in Ep. 2, we got the GOAT.

Ishod Wair is a contender for SOTY year, every year, at least for me. This guy has the best timeline. His BMW and fashion stuff - I love it. He owns it in a way that isn’t phony. Idk, for whatever reason, that shit works for him and I don’t feel annoyed by it. Beats me. But the best thing, his skating and trick selection are still unbeatable. ATV is thankfully not used much anymore to describe skaters, but Ishod is one and he does it quietly. The fluidity at which he destroys all that he skates: I always want more. Within the next few years, I hope he goes hard on the skating and gets SOTY again.

That’s it. I just felt like gushing…

I hoped you’re all well!
