One of the most visceral feelings we get from skateboarding is momentum – whether from bombing a hill, hitting the corner of a bowl just right, or just a plain solid push, there’s not much to beat the sensation of absolutely hacking it. If you’re the skateboarding equivalent of Kate Moss however, it can be tough to go as fast as you want to; headwinds, puny calves and dipping energy levels caused by lack of nourishment can all be problematic. The more solid skater doesn’t have such troubles and seeing someone who looks like Giant Haystacks smashing their way around a bowl or through the streets never fails to make me want to skate faster. This one goes out to the powerful bastards, built like a brick shedhouse!
