This part is so good it gives me goosebumps. Mysteriously appearing late yesterday, The Worble put it out in collaboration with Thrasher. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but somehow it captures an aspect of skateboarding that is rarely so well documented without coming off “artsy” or try hard. The sounds of Phillip Glass accompanied by shots of nature and the uninhibited skateboarding of Dave Mull taps into a sense of freedom. With gritty NYC and “urban” montages becoming a bit of a #trend recently, this part skating rural and suburban areas conveys the beauty and loneliness of skateboarding that is all too familiar for anyone that doesn’t live in LA, NYC or any other big city.

A lot of people are commenting on the experimental nature of the editing and the general vibe of the video and deservedly so. However, I feel like the actual skating needs to be highlighted. Dave Mull rips the hell out of everything in front of him. He is a creative skater with good style who can also frontside board a massive fucking handrail.
Favorite part of the year and the best skate part I have seen in a long time. Truly beautiful.
