This Is Skateboarding defined an entire generation of skateboarders. From start to finish, it really was a masterpiece. Anytime I hear one of the songs, or better yet, revisit any of the parts, I'm immediately shot back to a really special place in time. Simpler times, my old ass could argue. But an amazing era in skateboarding no less.

Spanky commented, "20 years! It means the world to me to still be on this ride with you guys 💚" So rad. He's undeniably a name that comes to mind anyone mentions Emerica and these days he's one of their trusted gatekeepers, no doubt.
