Skateboard media moves pretty fast these days, and I think it’s good to occasionally remind ourselves that just because something came out today or went viral on Facebook 4 minutes ago, doesn’t necessarily make it better or more valuable than skateboarding from months or years ago. It’s even easy to neglect the timeless and progressive skateboarding of our most beloved skaters, just because they aren’t in the daily content vortex. With that in mind, we had our friend Joey Sinko edit some of Geoff Rowley’s most memorable video moments so far and drench them in 90s and 00s nostalgia. If you ever wanted to remember why you love Geoff Rowley or haven’t figured it out yet, grab some tissues and click play.

Rowley skating is such an inspiration…pros nowadays are not that raw…I think start to skating on early 90’s in England has so much to do with his style and the balance between fun and aggresiveness he showed.
